Anyone out there in or around Greenville, SC??

I have a potential customer who is wanting his 3/4 Ton truck brought back to "as near showroom condition as possible." It's a '93 model, and the actual condition of the truck has yet to be seen. I think I've been more than fair on my pricing in general, but I really don't know what to charge...
