I took my car to the shop to find out what was wrong with the power windows cost $ 124 just to tell me what is wrong. Many car repair shops charge to take a look the days. i feel its fair not 124 but some charge. I think that tree workers should get paid to look at a tree. Many people look at you strange when you give them a price. However they don't realize all the time it took just for you to to that job. Looking at the job , repairing equitment, billing all of which you don't get paid for. I think with totals fuel prices we all should charge to go out and explain tree problems.
