Warranty callbacks are free labor you already promised. Price them into every job so the good months cover the callback weeks.
Garage door quotes die on the phone. A low service-call number sets customer expectations while the drive, the after-hours call, the extra parts found on the ladder, and the free warranty callback quietly eat the job. Start with bar (85), margin percent (20), minimum call fee ($149), daily goal ($600). Pick a preset: Spring pair, Single spring, Cable pair, Off-track reset, Roller set, Opener replace, each filling price, parts cost, and minutes as editable starting points. The getting-there card takes round-trip drive minutes, miles at your vehicle cost, the diagnostic fee with a checkbox for whether it applies toward the repair, and an after-hours toggle with a premium percent. The found-on-site card prices extra parts and minutes first; the callback leak card prices warranty labor into every job. Results show parts, vehicle, labor value, true cost, the recommended quote (cost plus margin, rounded up to $10, never below the minimum), and your effective hourly rate against your bar. Verdicts are PRICED RIGHT, CLOSE, BUT LEAKING, WORKING TOO CHEAP, or LOSING MONEY. The gut check grades the quote you would have given, and the day planner turns your goal into calls with an over-10-hour warning. No signup; runs on your phone.
Example only, not typical pricing. Spring pair preset at an $85 bar with 20 percent margin: $450 customer price, $85 parts, 75 on-site minutes, 40 drive minutes, 30 miles at $0.67, 5 percent callbacks at 1 hour each. Vehicle cost is 30 x $0.67 = $20.10. Callback labor carried by the job is 0.05 x 1 x $85 = $4.25. Labor value is 85 x (75 + 40 + 3)/60 = $167.17. True cost is $85 + $20.10 + $167.17 = $272.27. Recommended quote is max(149, ceil(272.27 x 1.20 / 10) x 10) = $330. Effective rate is ($450 - $85 - $20.10 - $4.25) / (115/60) = $177.73 per hour, which clears the bar, so the verdict is PRICED RIGHT. A $200 gut quote would pay $47.30 per hour and leave $130 on the table, grading WORKING TOO CHEAP. The day planner turns $57.73 of profit per call into 11 calls and 21.1 hours for a $600 goal, which fires the over-10-hour warning: the answer is a higher quote, not more calls.
Why price callback labor into every job?
Warranty callbacks are free labor you already promised. Pricing your callback rate into every job means the good months fund the callback weeks instead of the callbacks eating a whole day for nothing.
What does the diagnostic-applies checkbox change?
If the diagnostic fee applies toward the repair, it is part of the price, not extra. The checkbox keeps you from double-counting it in the customer price or forgetting it when you waive it.
Should I charge an emergency premium?
After-hours calls cost you sleep and schedule chaos. The toggle applies your premium percent to the recommended quote so the 9pm spring pair pays for the disruption, not just the parts.
How is the effective rate computed?
Your price minus parts, extra parts, vehicle cost, and expected callback labor, divided by on-site plus drive plus extra minutes. That is what the call really pays you per hour, graded against your bar.
What does CLOSE, BUT LEAKING mean?
The call covers true cost but your effective rate sits within 20 percent below your bar. Raise the quote, shorten the drive zone, or stop waiving the diagnostic fee.
