This is kind of interesting. We are willing to give another tech 10% of our 
bill for referring a customer to us, but we find giving 20% to an agent for 
referring work to us appalling. Now I would agree that 20% is high. But in 
either case, I would think both of these are considered "kick backs." 

If you do work for other techs, charge what you normally would. It is up to 
the other tech to charge the customer. If the other tech wants to charge the 
same as I am charging, that is his/her problem. If he/she wants to charge the 
customer more, that is his/her prerogative. If an another tech refers a 
customer to me, I don't feel obligated to give a "commission." Why should I? 
I do rebuilding work, the other tech doesn't. If the other tech wants to make 
more money, let him/her learn rebuilding.
