found the “quote” I was way wrong and it was way more.
And if any of you can actually justify this. Please do. I paid $40 for both filters and WTF is a power steering flush kit???
I quit wrenching to be come an engineer as I agree, f’ us... I’ve said the said as you many, many times.

and what do you need to charge $28 in shop supply’s for??? Red rags?
Just remember the shop is their to do work for those that cant or wont and turn a profit.
I cant justify anyones bill.
The only thing I can say is any business needs to charge what they need to charge to pay bills, payroll, taxes, rent , upkeep and on and on.
Im sure there is account here that might be able to figure it out better.
Take all that in and see what the business has to bring in everyday just to stay open.
power stearing flush kit. I assume its the fluid/flush treatment maybe some clamps or seals ?
i dont do much in the way of "flushes" the equipment is expensive and 98% of customers dont do it. I flush my own brake fluid before it turns black, about 3 years. Coolant unless specified goes a long way in newer cars these days. Transmission flushes are good to do , but with out the proper machine its time consuming and messy. It will take up to 20qt for most to get the fluid any where "flushed" doing the drain and fill.
its like reloading , you dont really save money if you factor in your time, bills, rent , taxes or treat it like a business.
As far as those red rags, buying them and cleaning them yourself is a no go.
Uniform companies charge a lot, IMHO
call around and get a quote 4 guys, 12 uniforms 3 jackets each, 4 bags of rags and 6 fender covers.
You going to find time to bring uniforms to be cleaned? Are you going to tell your workers to bring thier own uniforms and rags.
Last question you need to turn a profit.
What would be appropriate mark up on parts only that you would be happy with.
