They are not some "Chuck in a truck" repair person any more and the few of those that are still out there are far and few between.

Night before he quoted $150 to replace/repair control valve. What did he charge for two guys and a truck the very next morning to repair and check other valves, $150.
Could I have done it for less myself? Yes I could since I also do my own maintenance/repair work. But I didn’t have the parts and would have to order or go to store and wouldn’t have time to do work until the weekend. So was his charge for fast service and time savings fair and worth it…. Yes!
