A 1-hour minimum rate, plus taxes and freight charges (if the customer doesn\u2019t use its own carrier) is billed for the estimate. If the client accepts this estimate, the amount billed will be the one that appears on the estimate, which includes labor cost, parts (if necessary), taxes, and freight charges (if the customer doesn\u2019t use its own carrier).<\/p>\n\n
