- Why do you charge a flat rate for
service?
- We feel the
flat service charge is a better value for you. We only
charge an hourly rate in special cases, such as training.
Charging a flat fee based on the service allows us to
customize your level of service to your budget not how
long service "may take". With an upfront service charge
you never have to worry about unexpected issues dragging
on a service call, the cost is still the same as if no
issues arose.
