I also charge the same rate for on site or in-house work. As duo states- the farther away the customer the more of a challenge it becomes because of travel time.

I base my rate on the cost of shop time. On-site work is convenient for the customer- convenience has a cost. If the customer would rather me take the lift to the shop for every repair- no problem- the choice is theirs.
