It is ok to charge a diagnostic fee, even if it can't be fixed. You should charge for parts as well as labor, with a mark-up on the parts (you have to charge more than you paid, or you don't make any money) If you need an idea of the labor fees, just call around and get some quotes from the repair businesses you will be competing with. This will give you an idea of what the fees for repairs in your area are. And here's some free advice from me, trouble shoot to find out what is wrong before you go willy nilly replacing parts. A lot of repair guys just try to fix stuff through trial and error. Your customers pick up on this, and they won't give your name to their friends when they need a repairman. word of mouth is your best friend when you are starting out. Be professional, fair, and accurate, and your business will grow fast.<br><b>References : </b><br> You need your own tools, your own vehicle, and your own customers.
