$75 trip fee for quote?

Hey guys, looking to do some preventative maintenance and have my electric water heater replaced.  I contacted our PM company that we have nothing but good things to say about but when I asked for a quote to have it done, they said it would be a $75 trip fee just to get a quote and an additional 15% fee on top of it to have the work done.  A bit unreasonable or is this the price to pay for out of state rentals?

@Kevin Lee,

15% up-charge doesn't seem too bad. It would be nice if the $75 could go towards the bill if you choose to agree to the quote, but I wouldn't say its horrible either way. You definitely pay a premium due to the upcharge PMs charge for repairs, as that's actually how they make most of their money.
