Under time and material pricing, customers are billed for the actual cost of the
repair, making this a cost-effective method for minor repairs. Under flat rate
pricing, customers pay a fixed service charge to repair unit failures (excluding
damage or abuse), resulting in simplified paperwork and easier budgeting.
