Quote treadmill repairs without leaking on parts, drive time, and waived diagnostics. Free, no signup.
Flat service-call quotes die when the waived diagnostics, the drive, the parts research, and the warranty redos stay invisible. Start with Your numbers: your bar, margin percent, minimum service call, and weekly take-home goal. In The repair, pick a preset: Belt plus deck, Motor job, Board swap, Diagnostic, or Tune-up. Each fills parts cost, parts markup, shop minutes, and the new-machine price, all editable. In Leaks, set your diagnostic fee and the decline rate so the tool prices the waived diagnostics across paying repairs. Toggle house calls with round-trip drive and miles, add parts-research minutes, and set the warranty redo rate. The breakdown shows shop labor, drive labor, parts at cost, parts billed at markup, vehicle, research, waived diagnostics, redo reserve, and true cost. The big number is the recommended quote: true cost plus margin, rounded to twenty-five dollars, never below your minimum. A repair-nears-replace warning fires at sixty percent of the new-machine price. Verdicts are QUOTE IT AT, MINIMUM FEE FLOOR, or REPAIR NEARS REPLACE, with named leak notes. The gut check prices your old quote, and the week planner counts repairs to your goal. Free, no signup, runs on your phone.
Example only, not typical pricing. A belt plus deck preset at the defaults: $75 bar, 20 percent margin, $125 minimum, $275 parts at 30 percent markup, 75 shop minutes, $899 new-machine price, $65 diagnostic fee with 30 percent declined, house call with 30 drive minutes and 20 miles at $0.67 per mile, 20 parts-research minutes, and a 5 percent redo rate. Shop labor is $131.25, drive labor is $37.50, parts are $275.00, the vehicle is $13.40, research is $25.00, waived diagnostics are $19.50, and the redo reserve is $6.56, giving a true cost of $470.71. The recommended quote is $575, earning $134.59 per hour, but $575 tops sixty percent of the $899 machine, so the verdict is REPAIR NEARS REPLACE. A $250 gut quote lands $220.71 below true cost and leaves $325 on the table. Two leak notes fire: waived diagnostics and the replace ceiling. The week planner says 15 repairs and 26.3 hours to a $1,500 goal.
Why price the declined diagnostics?
A $65 diagnostic fee waived on every declined repair is free bench time for zero revenue. The decline rate spreads those dead minutes across the paying repairs so they are priced instead of given away.
What is the repair-nears-replace warning?
It fires at sixty percent of the new-machine price. Past that line customers price a new treadmill instead, so the tool tells you before you quote a $575 repair on a $899 machine.
Why do house calls need their own toggle?
On-site repair adds drive labor and vehicle miles at your rates. Without the toggle, the bench-only math makes every house call look profitable while the windshield eats the margin.
How does parts markup factor in?
Parts billed at markup shows as its own line. Sub-25 percent markup on a big part fires a leak note, because parts priced at cost turn inventory risk into free money for the customer.
Is this business or financial advice?
No. Planning-only arithmetic on your own numbers. Repair pricing decisions are up to you.
