What is Flat Rate or Upfront Service Pricing?
The service industry was always guided by hourly labor rates plus parts and materials. This time and material pricing has always caused frustration with customers on the receiving end of a repair invoice. Charging by the hour plus parts is a less risky method of billing customers. This allows less diligent and organized service companies to allow their employees and field technicians to run the business. Unorganized office dispatching staff, unnecessary technician travel breaks and vehicle stops, as well as untrained service individuals cause excessive time and material repair bills. The need for the customer to “watch the clock” to ensure fairness and efficiency is a common complaint with this type of a billing process..
Flat Rate or Upfront Service Pricing was adopted by some service companies about 20 years ago. Each service task was assigned and average time for labor and costs of equipment, materials and parts. This total single price was documented in a large bulky “encyclopedia” type pricing guide. The technician would locate the closest repair or installation task that detailed the job as closely as he or she could after diagnostics was performed. This cost was relayed to the customer for approval before the job was started. This was a more fair pricing method that created the need for businesses to become more organized and track their fleet vehicles and technicians time.
