Did I get raped by this mechanic?

We charge pilots if we ever have to buy tools for their airplanes lol.

but that doesn't make any sense...
unless it's like, some obscure, ridiculous thing, made only for that one plane, it's your responsibility to have it
if someone started a "car mechanic" company, and you're the first customer, are you gonna expect them to charge you for jacks and screwdrivers and things like that?

thats what I meant. But if we buy things like hydraulic fluid/oil/gas cause we don't have any for that airplane that counts as "shop supplies" I guess.

i was hoping for a weird story about tezuni getting raped by a mechanic but instead i get this

"he sprayed exhaust fumes in my face and the next thing i knew he was zipping up his pants"

[Zanaran2]

What the forget is wrong with you

Tools/supplies is part of a business expense. We charge pilots if we ever have to buy tools for their airplanes lol. And 20% on top of all the parts charges. You have to make a profit somehow. You wouldn't make jack stuff if you just charged for your hours.

It's your fault you don't have the tools that are required to work on their airplanes. If they'd gone to a different (more well equipped) shop, it wouldn't have been a problem. Since it's your fault, they shouldn't have had to pay that fee.

The shop supplies charge is to cover the cost of miscellaneous fluids and parts they use that aren't included in the normal charges along with the environmental fee, which pretty much every mechanic I've been to has.

What? That's like getting a bill from McDonalds where there's a $1 charge for an Egg McMuffin and then a $0.50 cent charge for the various ingredients that go into the Egg McMuffin. Every mechanic bill I've ever seen rolls the fluids and replacement parts into the charge for the operation.

what do you expect them to do?

buy every single specialty tool for every single airplane that may come through the door?

Maybe it's a little different for airplanes, I don't know, but cars generally all use similar tools. So, yes. I expect my mechanic to have the tools required to work on my car before I get there.
