sixgun95 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Curious to know if any of you have raised your prices due to the increase in fuel prices? If you are not, why? I am thinking about going up $10 per category. Maybe I should go up more, I don't know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Manor Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Rather than raise my prices, I'm downgrading my car. I can carry a ladder and my tools in something smaller.... I think. -Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hi, I add $30 to the cost of any inspection that goes outside of a 20 mile radius, $60 if outside of a 40 mile radius, $90 if outside of a 60 mile radius, etc. It covers the added fuel cost plus the added time getting to and from those jobs.

Phillip Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I upped my inspections $10 for the ones out of my main area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Some inspectors are lowering in my area to compete for work. I am neither raising or lowering my rates. I'm holding my ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I raised them in Jan and have had a good year until this month. April was a blockbuster month the best month I've ever had. May may turn out to be one of the the worst - I don't get it - bad karma I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Being an insane, non-team playing, loose cannon and all, I have to travel to out of town jobs with regularity. I've had some doosies this year, up to 2 1/2 hours one way. I've been charging more for those outside the local area (though not really enough), but I've held steady on local rates. I may have to bump both soon. Brian G. Oil Is a License To Steal [:-yuck] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Wand Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 My price was raised in the new year. However, I am making strides to drive a bit slower, coast to stops when possible, and avoid Jack Rabbit starts. Today a litre of gas in my area is $1.27 for regular. At the marina up north a litre of regular is $1.66! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Raymond in my little corner of the woods they've been replacing the regular pumps with thimble and eyedropper dispensers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I don't raise prices but once a year and adjust it for my increasing costs (fuel, medical insurance, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
