I just charge what it takes, no such thing as flat rate in my shop, if its a bigger job, its a bigger job, if it didn't take that much I charge less. Firm believer in a fair price for a fair job.
Rohloff oil change only inc genuine oil /flush kit is £35
To flush out both brakes, true wheels, check all the bolts, new cable on rear mech, adjust headset and maybe rake out the freehub and apply correct grease and all the usual bike related stuff you'd be about £80
If customer brings full cargo with 6"deep layer of child gunk so I can't get to any bolts to remove accessories then yeah add time and cost.
If customer is considerate, then gsd aren't bad to work on for all the moaning I do about them. It's just all the qc issues on new ones that boils my piss.Custom wheel build is£35 labour usually. More for boutique dyneena spoke, carbon rim fancy boi stuff.

I am 100% not this guy.
Good points though, I'd love a menu like that. Rather than £195+vat as flat fee.

@BrickMan do you work in SBC?
SBC replaced a rear wheel and brakes for me and ended up charging me less than they had originally quoted, as they were able to reuse some pieces. Very rare that a shop does that. I am happy to recommend them to others as fair and honest about the work that they do.

@BrickMan Tern service question for you. The shop I bought from wants £195+VAT for service (😂). What does this entail for the GSD?
Its a belt drive, rohloff one. I regularly clean the bike and replace brake pads myself, I will be doing the rohloff oil change as well.
Although I could; my LBS can service the fork.
The only thing i'll be left with is the 'service' message on the display.
I just refuse to pay that kind of money to this shop, I'll happily pay my LBS.
