Unless it is big money shops I would not schedule anything with a set date more than a month in advance. That is just me personally. I do have a few scheduled for March with set date as well as some that I have scheduled with a flexibility to do within a certain time range example march 1st to 15th or anytime in march. Now that the weather is starting to get nicer I can schedule further out again and fill in as the date gets closer with other shops. If i need filler I can look a few days before right up to that date. I like my flexibility to work or not work which is why I don't believe in scheduling lower paying shops months in advance.
All that said I know someone will come on her and say I'm booked through July.
Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
