Just received a phone enquiring about a repair to a Baird LCD TV. A four mile trip to collect it. However, I was reminded by the caller that there is a local guy on Facebook who fixes TVs for £25! My answer was, "that's your man" Who on earth is going to go out to fix a clapped out LCD TV for that kind of money?
Times are hard, I freely admit that I still take on low price repairs
I look at it this way, if I can fix a set within an hour using less than a fiver's worth of parts, it still makes financial sense.
As discussed earlier in the thread, customers usually turn down repairs if the cost exceeds £30.

I am of course retired and have no real overheads, apart from electricity used.
Three or four repairs a week certainly help pay my bills!
