Partially, yes. It's a combo of professional time plus the value of my free time that could otherwise be spent with family. Of course, it's not a pure 1 to 1. It's not like I would be billing 100% or even 80% of the time I would be spending on my car. But I am the only one in my family who likes working on cars, and my friends who I would normally work on my car with are not in my COVID bubble.
So for me, it is a matter of prioritizing my limited free time. And, my firm is currently exceptionally busy and actively expanding. So in addition to my work, I am also taking on additional load from some of our employees while also managing all of our recruitment efforts and interviewing candidates. So my time is even more limited now than it was before.
I have a good relationship with a local shop whose work I trust, so I am confident that my car is being well taken care of.
