I recently serviced a 3 year old MK25 S600 R395 with around 50 dives on it for a customer, the reg was well used and corroded.
I charged him $60 per hour and it took me a good 3 hours to service the regulator. It needed an Ultrasonic clean and took a while to strip as it was corroded.
Parts cost $70 and purchased on island.
So total cost was 180 + 70 = $250
The guy was horrified at the price, even though he was initially quoted $200 for the service? I even stripped the SPG and replaced the O rings at no extra cost.
Is there an average cost for servicing by the hour, by volume, by specific regulator?
Any help or advice would be great.
