shop supplies?

[imdoo'n]

what the heck shop supplies do they use that may cost $40. ( gas/oil/lube) to change out a voltage regulator?

what can we as a customer do? are all shops this crooked?

 

[tex78]

Well sometimes u use more, some u use less...

40 bucks is high tho , but it's based on the price

Not right for some jobs forsure

Shop supplies is just another revenue stream. Just like environmental charges on rental vehicles. The supplies are part of the 110 an hour you pay the shop. They are all just greedy.

When I doo invoices, I use "tool useage/replacement" and that includes drill bits, driver bits, saw blades, cords, dropped and broken tools, worn out batteries and replacement of worn out tools, compressor hoses/fittings, etc.. and I calculate that at 5% of the material cost on every invoice.

Shop supplies can be a lot of things from brooms, light bulbs, hand cleaner, towels, gloves, heat, electricity, coffee, cream, sugar, tape, small nuts/bolts/washers, zip ties, wear and tear and replacement on shop tools, air compressor operation, etc.. Turples has a big building to operate. Doo they have a union shop? May cost more to run a union shop and they have to recoup cost somehow.......

Suck it up princess and bend over and pay....:d

Depends. Only if there are excessive circumstances such as worn or damaged tooling, rock drilling, extra mud, frac out containment consumables, extra water, poor access, rentals...
Sometimes we supply fresh water, job we are at today the inspector gets the bill and his guy fills us and the hydrocac truck(sweet deal).
Just about done pulling 140m of 8" poly and done for the day... (Also sweet deal!)

May have to start charging for stuff i din't use, sounds like a super sweet deal, bring a dozen and charge for refreshments

 

[imdoo'n]

So if it is not listed on rate board, i wonder if you have to pay it?

Ours is a percent of hourly rate. I guess I your not that busy you can keep track of every lathe paint and nail but it's way too time consuming. Some jobs we lose some jobs we win as far as consumables go

If you argue about it and they do drop it then it just gets added onto the next poor sap that comes in.
Eventually they will collect from someone.

Disbursements or legal fees? If just disbursements and then plus legal fees best be finding a new lawyer. Generally all the ones I see are $250-300 on a real estate transactions.

is it to early to ask what my snow n mud discount is?

If you are in business your SHOP RATE should include all things you need to run your SHOP. Some shyster come up with "shop supplies" as a screw your customers nicely tag line and it has stuck. No hard feelings it is just business.

A mechanic i know runs a shop fixing tractors and he lists the shop supplies used. He lists how much sealants, brake cleaner, etc. he uses, it definitely makes the customers feel confident that he is honest. I think that all shops should do that
