Ruining tires for 20 dollars? He should reconsider his pricing.

    One small burnout does not ruin the tires.

    So what would you say is the profit margin at $20 a burnout? A fresh set of tires can cost an arm and a leg depending on the diameter

    Get cheap worn out tires for free.

    Do burnouts for $20 a pop.

    Profit.

    20 bucks is only labour. You see, that’s where the amortization surcharge comes in, which is 12 bucks/tire and 10 for drivetrain and breakpad usage. There is also a transporation fee of 2 dollars a mile. Oh, and don’t forget the high fuel prices, so there is a surcharge for that which is 20% of the combined transportation and labour cost.
