Newbie, The few times I had that question, the honest answer was the actual time I had been tuning(not all for pay), and the statement that because I was new to the field, my prices were lower and I took longer tuning to be sure that it was right. Also, mention being an associate member of the PTG, becoming more professional and having available a resource base of 4,000 tuners, technicians, refinishers, rebuilders, and manufacturers upon which you can call if needed.
