Small Engine Repair Quote & Shop Capacity Calculator
A mower, generator or handheld-equipment repair can be busy work and still be a weak ticket when diagnosis, ordering, freight, pickup and comeback risk are invisible. Build the estimate from your own shop economics, then see what the same job does to bench capacity and the current queue. Data stays on this device.
1

Compare ticket, cost, margin and bench hours.
Business pricing only. This tool does not diagnose equipment, estimate mechanical labor standards, decide whether a repair is appropriate, or replace a technician's inspection. Enter job hours, parts and replacement value from your own shop process.
Diagnosis is still billable capacity even when the repair is declined
The shop loses bench time during diagnosis whether the customer approves the final work or not. A pricing model should therefore make diagnostic, repair, test and pickup/delivery labor visible instead of hiding everything inside one guessed flat fee.
Monthly overhead belongs inside the job model
This calculator converts entered monthly overhead into an overhead cost per billable technician hour. That creates a direct link between utilization and pricing: if the shop has fewer realistic billable hours to spread fixed overhead across, each billed hour has to carry more of it.
Parts markup and total job margin answer different questions
The parts-markup field is shown as a comparison only. The margin-safe customer estimate is based on the whole job cost and the overall target margin. A healthy markup on one part cannot rescue a job with several hours of underpriced labor.
