First this will be the only response to this list as its
not appropriate here.  Yes you are ripping people off.  If you do
the work in 2 hours you bill for 2 hours.  I'm a consultant and I
only get paid for the hours I work.  What you are doing is
called padding.  It's crap like this that gives mechanics
bad names besides the fact most SUCK!

You are forgetting one key important thing here.  How much time did
you spend learning to become a mechanic?  How much money did
you spend?  I guarantee its probably 1% of what the Doctor paid
and the amount of time the Doc spent to become a doctor and be
able to practice medicine.  You can't compare profession to
profession like this.  If you don't like how much you make
or can't make your business survive billing correct hours
then do something else.  Don't overcharge, businesses that do
don't usually last long.

I would love to put a web cam on you to see these miraculous
feats you say you can complete.
