$100 plus the part. It takes about 5 minutes. Remove the clips, drop the motor, swap the coupler (usually just the rod kit) and put the motor back.

street. Finally occurs to me, that I have no clue what anyone else charges. Your price quote sounds right.
It depends a lot on where you live. In one of those mobbed up union states $200 just to start their truck wouldn't shock me.

If anyone in here wants instructions on how to do this repair, the owner of this web site:
'Appliance Repair and Parts Help, New Purchase Info | Appliance Aid'
is an appliance repair technician, and I've known him for over 20 years.
I'm pretty sure he has instructions on how to do it here:

Jeff is another Canadian, eh. And, considering there's only about 30 million of us, we all pretty well know each other.
Perhaps you could have "the woman" come out to repair your washer. I've read that a woman generally is paid around 20 or 30% less than a man.

Our local appliance shop is $110 for the first hour.

If I have remembered correctly, you are by trade a locksmith, not an appliance repairman. And you are considering charging your *neighbor* across the street commercial repairman labor charges (which probably include travel time) to do a job that somebody else here has said takes only 5 minutes? Hmmmm!?

I'd have no problem charging a neighbor the going rate in the area for a one hour service call, regardless of the travel time. I'd bet very few appliance repair services charge less because you're a block away instead of 15 mins. Charging $100 plus the cost of the part seems reasonable to me. If it were a friend, that's a different story. But a neighbor? If they don't like the $100 price, let them call an appliance servie company and find out what it costs.....
I guess we have a different relationship with our neighbors. I will do just about anything I can to help a neighbor and expect nothing more than "thanks" or maybe a dinner. That came back to me this week when I had to pull my well. I ended up with more help than I needed and I got to use my neighbor's water until we got it fixed.
We have the same relationship with the boats. We come get each other when someone breaks down. It saves a lot of money you would pay tow pirates
It really does come down to your relationship with your neighbors and your profession. You can't expect free labor from a neighbor if that's his business. I'd never ask and would probably hire someone else (friends are more valuable than a few bucks).
