That (multiple jobs on the go) doesn't mean the work is being overpriced, more that the business is effectively utilising resources. Workshop costs take in an awful lot; many are paying commercial rent, there are repayments on plant and equipment, and at the end of it the operators reasonably expect to do a little better than if they were just on a wage.

And, a savvy operator factors in the cost of maintaining positive client relationships (AKA having a chat) in subtle ways.  ;)

Yeah I can just imagine a surgeon having multuple jobs on the go at once, with a cuppa in beteween talking to the nurses.

I've witnessed specialists doing two patients basically at the same time (in a public hospital).

But their fees are a long way from plumbing or mechanical repairs.

Ahh but your clients have multiple Alfa's... that usually all need your attention.  Touch one and the other gets jealous (cars, not clients)

He'd have to double his prices before that happened.... and become significantly less interesting, don't forget the entertainment value working (or watching) with Bazz ;)
