Learning from an owner annual

When I was a teenager I worked in a sporting goods store.
Part of my job was cleaning and repairing fishing reels and
guns. Our price list was [back in the late 60s]
Disassemble, clean. inspect and reassemble $10.00
Let you watch, $15
Clean, inspect and reassemble the parts you bring in $20
Listen to the story about how your kid took it apart.
priceless or $30

| For those that do owner assisted annuals now, how do you
compensate the
| mechanic for misc things like the use of his tools, use of
misc parts
| (screws, fluids, etc)? Do you pay a flat shop use fee? Do
you just make
| sure to put something extra in his hourly fee for the work
he did? Its
| amazing to me how generous A&Ps are to open their tool box
to pilots.

mechanic's tools
| you'll probably get hit upside the head. Loaning out tools
is almost
| unheard of with cars.
