To repair personal computers out of your garage on the side, you will do well to charge a flat labor fee, maybe $35-40. If you get a "problem" customer--those cronic complainers--just give them back their money and tell them to go elsewhere!
A lot of people get scared to take their computers in to a shop because they feel they are going to get soaked for a huge labor fee. I have a shop which chages $35 to look at it and $65/hr. labor, which should take care of most problems. Unlike cars, they charge how long it takes them...not the inexperienced to fix something!
But you know, there are plenty of people scared to load Windows, install a CD writer, etc. They are just nervous to open their computer.
If you have the latest anti-virus updates, you can make a lot of money getting them out of people's computers.
