Yes this is always something to check!.. I am searching for a decent small/ portable battery tester for my mobile work.

@Brian while watch your video about halfway thru when you talk about putting the IPDM back in it got me wondering a few things, I'm sure you bill by hour as most mobile, independent people do but some also bill hourly on flat rate. .let's say if you bill flat rate if you care to answer. Being you're there on the "first hour". You mentioned putting the module back in and programming the modcule. Do you line item things out as in the diag time, IPDM Install and key programming or did the shop install the IPDM while you still get paid to wait if they want to do it. Just a few things I'm trying to learn on how others are doing things because at the end of the day as you said it's how we all eat, make living, etc. .. I look at it as if we all charge similar with the exception of local shop rates based on economy but for the time then people will start to realize that wherever they go they're not going to find that "cheap" mechanic. Lady just down the street has had no heat in little chevy volt I think it is after having @ dealer, spending around $400 for solenoids for engine system and rear defrost but thinks she'll find a cheap mechanic. She asked me to fix way to cheap. Then said she'll take it 3-4 places and go with the cheapest. I let her know if shops are diagnosing it correctly they'll charge her to give a estimate as hooking a scan tool up doesn't fix the blend doors on gm cars. Even offered her a discount as only 4 houses from my house so would be a quick deal as part stores are less than a mile away as well. IDK what people think but they're sometimes not thinking properly. I'll walk away and when snow flies first time then she'll pay me or someone. She blamed the dealer for her heater not working as she'd had it there prior. To her credit she showed me the bill as she'd pulled up outside my house as I was leaving one day. I know the dealer didn't do anything with the heat as most will document anything they see wrong, find, etc just because of insurance / liability reasons. Throw your thoughts if you have a minute or two please.

Lots to unpack here. I do charge by the hour. I rarely do flat rate time unless I am quoting a job / mechanical work. Depending on the situation I may charge for a program in addition to diag or vise versa. You don't have to worry about me low balling, I am problay the most expensive in town. The job on this nissan i charged a straight hourly rate for my time. Nothing extra for busting out the im 608.. thanks for your comments.

I should have said I charge by the hour for diag. Programming is a flat fee so it is easy for my customers to quote their customers. I do charge them if I have to spend more than a few minute messing around with a mis diagnosis, dead battery, etc...

Working on a 2002 ram 1500 no door power locks. Can’t command them on with scan tool. Checked everything going to replace cluster with used one. Do you know how to change mileage in a cluster that old to match?
