I dont think people realize how expensive it really is for me to keep up on my supplies to rewire vehicles. Just ordered some 1/8 and 1/4 wire loom that I use and just that is $200 and I’ll run through that in no time. Now add all the tape I use, zipties, connectors, bulkhead connectors, heatshrink, solder and whatever else. I end up spending at least $2000 - $4000 a year just on supplies. Stuff that used to be $36 for a box is now $65, the price on connectors has gone through the roof, tape is damn near $10 a roll now. Its crazy to see the price of s**t double just in the last couple years but what I charge hasnt really gone up much at all in the last 10. Makes me start thinking I need to adjust my prices to todays market. I just hate to do that but my profits just keep getting smaller and smaller with every year that passes. I refuse to use a lesser and cheaper made product just to offset my costs and profits. I will continue to use what I use and have been using for years unless I find a better product. My quality of work wont go down either.
