5 to 10 beers. That should be sufficiently International.

That is a fair price, but the client should pay AFTER the service is
performed. I know that I sometimes make bad choices after 5.

It depends on what the market will bear, and possibly the specific
customer's ability to pay. Another issue is your ability to rapidly
troubleshoot, or rather, making sure you're efficient, not going too
fast but not wasting time. It's helpful to have a set bench fee for
particular services.

It also depends on how you're set up, if a house call, shop, same-day
or odd hours, etc. It depends on how busy you are too, if you have
plenty of spare time you can afford lower rates than if it's necessary
to work overtime or hire another employee. You might also want to
start out with a low rate to gain customer confidence and referrals...
perhaps around $35 USD adjusted to cost of living in your locality.
