    Gellers book is the closest thing we in the jewelry industry have to
    a automotive repair pricing guide which calculates the average time a
    job should take, materials, markup etc.. If you are faster than the
    average you make more money.It is for a retail business but you can
    easily figure what you should be paid as a wholesale repair person. I
    don, t always agree with the prices and frequently charge more but I
    am in a resort area and my overhead is more. If your overhead is less
    you could charge less, however if you intend to make a business out
    of your skills some day you will have more overhead, tools, staff,
    rent etc.
