This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment FWIW - the topic of tuning/service fees comes up every now and then and = the general theme is usually that piano technicians tend to charge less = than they might be worth. Recently I had my refrigerator serviced. $75 to walk through the door = plus $60/hr. plus parts. I went to a garage door sales/installation/service/parts store today and = bought a part for my ailing garage door. I asked how long a garage door = should last. I got a lecture about having yearly service done. They = charge $60 for their standard yearly checkup/lube/adjust service fee. = I'll admit, I not an expert with garage doors - and I have no doubt that = someone with more experience than me could have installed this track = bracket & wheels better than me (maybe?) - but I can't imagine that it = would require more than a few days instruction to become something of an = expert at garage door maintenance/repair. And how long would the yearly = service take? 15 - 20 minutes - if one is real thorough? Charge what you are worth. Maybe I'm just mad at myself for not just telling that dealer what my = fee is instead of asking what he pays!
