Business Transactions - Problems to Avoid
Situation 1 - Getting work done by someone who travels to your location
You're experiencing an issue with a carburetor ( small gasolene engine component). You find an advertising for someone who does small engine repairs, and describes the problem. The person claims they can have it fixed for you in a short time for $155 an hour. Be sure to verify with the person what does the charge cover. Is it a trip charge plus the cost of doing the work or is it only a charge to travel out to your location to do the work. They arrive to fix the problem and after an hour and half the problem is not fixed and it costs you more than you expected to pay.
What's the mistake here?
When you are interviewing to have something done, be sure to question and investigate whether the technician understands the details of what you expect them to fix. For example, if you'd like them to fix a carburetor, ask the technician if the plan is to open the carburetor and what part or parts within the carburetor is expected to be cleaned or replaced. Then, if you agree to have them do the work, while the technician is doing the work, ask the technician if the work is done based on what was agreed. If there is a deviation from what was agreed upon then STOP the work, pay only for the time that was spent and send the technician away.
