Setting a price is the most difficult thing in starting a small business, however there are resources available to you!
Check with the small business administration in your area. Normally they offer classes you can take that will help you get started, get focused on what to do, how much to charge for it, and how to keep track of all the evil tax things you'll be going through.
A great way to find a median price is to look at your target market - how much can they afford and how much are they willing to pay for your services? If there are competitors in your area, look at their prices for a good guideline, try to undercut them if you can do so without hurting the quality of your work.
Good luck to you!How much should i charge?
aSK AROUND TOWN FOR OTHER PEOPLE THAT DO THAT SORT OF THING. ....SRY CAPS LOCK ON
20/hour is the going rate.
Get a quote for such services from every known business in your area and then compare their rates.
You should be undermining their charge by 10% first to get enough customers willing to give you a try. A couples years later you can adjust your rates because you are well known to do a really good job.
Look at the local businesses and undercut them. Don't charge hourly labor, it'll sound good on a flyer.
$20 for an oil change
$10 for tire rotation
Those seem to be the competitive rates. As far as the rest of the stuff, I would charge $15 an hour per person on the job.
If you get into doing a lot of tune up stuff on cars where you are buying a lot of supplies, check with your local auto parts store (NAPA, Advanced Auto, etc.) and see if you can get a lower price because you are getting so much stuff. My dad is a mechanic and I think he always gets his stuff 15-20% less than the average customer.
