Of course, my shop is in a very small town where word of mouth means a lot, and I know most of them personally.

Customers always love to get work that has value added or better yet free!
This will pay off big time over the years as word of mouth will always be your best advertising. Those who have spent the time developing a happy customer base at the beginning of their careers will do exceptional in the future. Too bad they are not recognized sooner.
