what is "reasonable"? sometimes (often) the cheapest tech's cost you the most money. next time you need help post your email address and someone will give you sound advice. you have to spell out the "dots", "ats" and "coms" or your e will be deleted.
most techs work very hard rain, cold, shine or unbearable heat and all of us have a "large " tool burden to maintain. what seems like a lot of money may not be as out of range as it looks. $40.00 per hour for 10 hours is still mathematically greater than $90.00 for three hours.

disregard , i think i have found the problem.
i am still in need of a reasonable forklift mech. in the houston area.
