Most service stations will remotely turn it on if you ask them to. They charge now because the repairs to these machines is a constant burden to some stations. So........if you do it a one station, let's do it at all of them!
Many of these units will have a little button to press on the side a little lower out of view that will turn it on without money. The guy I always see at the station pointed it out me.
I wont pay for it. It rubs me the wrong way same way as "shop supplies" when I take my vehicle in for service. Does that mean I can charge a customer "office supplies" because I used a pencil to write something on his blueprints? Thats the cost of doing business and it is called overhead. Your shop rate or charge rate reflects that. When I quote a job for a customer I allow and show what is included so if they ask for extra services or material the fees are legitimate. Part of my quote has an allowance for overhead so therefore I can't (or shouldn't) charges for office supplies.
