I am not a fan of flat rate, from a biz standpoint it makes sense, but will avoid calling a contractor who is flat rate that being said, the orig. post did say it was after hours and the price for that was not out of line, perhaps they could have waited untill the next business day
and shopped for a better price. If someone is called out at a odd hour they need to be paid for it, as they prob. had better things to do.......
