My labor rate includes cans of brake clean, paper towles, and the electricty to run my lift compressor, tools, etc… While I have to charge someone for said things I would not put those items on a bill and charge someone directly for say 1 can of brakecleaner. its “hidden” in the rate. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/springs-install/264373)._
