Let see at the store obviously they will be charged by the company. Anything minor such as diagnostics I wont charge, but I will charge them if they expect me to overhaul and rebuild a system or OS. Only exception is obviously are family members and friends, the only other time it is free when I know they can not pay for it and it seems like they are in desperate need of help. Some ppl offer me first something that is worth bargaining. One time I helped a person who worked for Hip Gear, the ppl who made those third party cables. The guy bought me a couple of PS2 games of whatever value, so of course I agreed to that 
The only ppl I wont service are those who ask ignorant questions or start barking at me that they know more than me when I am tyring to help them. Or if they can not answer simple questions with regards to buying a system, like what is their budget? (gee how simple of a question can I get to ellicit a response)
