There tends to be two schools of thought on writing a bid without a teardown.
1. Quote the bare minimum. If the client bites and there’s extra wrong who is going to say ,”put it back together without fixing the other stuff.”
2. Quote the kitchen sink and if you don’t need everything you save a little bit off what you expected.
Robert is the 2nd kind of shop. Keeps from having customers freaking out or trying to blame you for not being able to X-ray vision inside an engine or gearbox and see what’s wrong.
The only real quote is the one that happens after tear down. Everything else is a guesstimate to get you in the door.
