A luthier charges a fair cost based on an hrly rate, a plek operator charges for the cost of the machine, the cost of the machine is based around the promotional overheads and player endorsements.
Placing a Guitar on cradle, closing a door and pressing the go button, restringing the Guitar adjusting the truss rods and pressing the go button again does not equate to charging 2.5 times what a person charges that dedicates the physical time and attention and work on your guitar.
My penny’s worth.
