Treadmill Quote Check

How to use it

Repair calls die on one flat price. The quote creeps toward the new-machine price while the second trip for ordered parts, the drive, and the callback labor go unbilled. Start with your bar (75), profit margin percent (20), minimum call fee (99), and daily take-home goal (500). Pick a call preset: Diagnostics only, Belt and deck, Motor or board, or Maintenance visit, each filling on-site minutes and parts cost. The diagnostic fee applies toward the repair with a checkbox; the parts-ordered toggle doubles the drive and adds 45 minutes for the second trip. The repair-vs-replace check flags quotes past 50 percent of a new machine price. The leaks card prices callbacks as a rate times hours, so every job carries its share of free returns. Results show your time, parts at markup, vehicle, true cost, and the recommended quote rounded up to 10 dollars with your effective rate against your bar. Verdicts are PRICED RIGHT, CLOSE, BUT LEAKING, WORKING TOO CHEAP, or LOSING MONEY. The gut check grades your instinct quote; the day planner turns your goal into calls with an over-10-hour flag. No signup; runs on your phone.

Worked example

Example only, not typical pricing. Motor or board preset at a $75 bar with 20 percent margin: labor minutes are 150 on site plus 30 drive plus 8 percent callbacks at 1.5 hours, or 187.2 minutes, which is 3.12 hours at $75 equals $234 of labor. Parts are $350 at 40 percent markup equals $490 billed. Vehicle is 30 miles at $0.67 equals $20.10. True cost is $744.10. Recommended quote is ceil(744.10 times 1.20 divided by 10) times 10 equals $900. Effective rate is (900 minus 490 minus 20.10) divided by 3.12 equals $124.97 per hour, which clears the bar, so the verdict is PRICED RIGHT, but the repair-vs-replace warning fires at 90 percent of a $999 machine: most customers replace past 50 percent, so collect the diagnostic and sell the maintenance visit. A $700 gut quote would pay $60.87 per hour, sit below true cost, and leave $200 on the table. The day planner turns $155.90 of profit per call into 4 calls and 12.5 hours for a $500 goal, firing the over-10-hour flag.

FAQs

Why does the quote flag at 50 percent of a new machine?

Past half of new, customers usually replace instead of repair. The tool says collect the diagnostic fee and sell the maintenance visit.

What does the parts-ordered toggle change?

It doubles the drive and adds 45 minutes for the second trip. Unordered parts are a wish; ordered parts are a drive.

How are callbacks priced in?

Callback rate times hours per callback becomes minutes on every job. At 8 percent with 1.5 hours, each call carries $9 of callback labor.

What does the drive leak note mean?

When vehicle cost passes a quarter of labor cost, cluster calls by ZIP or raise the trip minimum.

What does CLOSE, BUT LEAKING mean?

Your effective rate sits between 90 and 105 percent of your bar. Parts markup or a missing diagnostic fee are usually the leak.
