Today, I had a lady telephone to enquire about a boiler repair for a property she rents out.
She asked about the likely charges and I explained our fixed price diagnostic charge and added that it was plus any parking meter costs.
She got quite annoyed and said she didn't see why she should have to pay for OUR parking costs when we come to repair HER boiler.
As far as I can see its a cost we incur when visiting people who dont have off street parking or have not bothered to get parking vouchers.
In my view it would be unfair if we added a charge in lieu of parking to everyone and it should be only added to those to whom it applies.
Am I being unreasonable?
