If your friend's dad is doing all the work and gathering the parts...shouldn't he know how much you should be giving him?

It really depends on how good of friends you are. For me if its a good friend (weekend BBQ or Bar runs, etc) and they asked for help i would just charge them parts. If it was a so so friend i would charge them half labor.

Expect to pay half labor and full parts.

Why not ask to help him out also? Its not a bad time to learn when you have a friend doing the work on the car. Might even cut the labor cost down more, so long as you are helpful and eager to learn
