Recently had a technician out to work on a non cooling refrigerator. Arrived at house around 2:20 out the door at 3:10. Fixed the unit than dropped the bombshell $295.25. He did offer a $10.00 coupon which is fine but thought the overall charge ridiculous. Part can be purchased online for $19.90. Don’t get me wrong I'm willing to pay for a repair and I understand they are going to mark the part up. I know they pay less than an internet offered price but assuming they paid the same as I could and marked it up 50 points to $39.80, $245.45 labor for less than an hour at the house seems a little steep. Plan on spending $85.00 to show up to your house than get out the checkbook. I work in the service industry, normally the service call price includes your first hour of diagnostics and if can be repaired the job. Good service/Overpriced.. JMO.
