My shop specializes in medium and heavy duty, and we have a shop supplies charge of 4% of the labor dollars, capped at $25., so our misc shop supplies don't cost any job more than that or we are going to itemize them. Works for us and our customers...there is a trust factor there too.

Now That's reasonable. The big boys around here (Wichita, Ks.) get 7-8% of the Total bill; parts and labor. Mitch
