I’m paying you the price you quoted to do a good job

Right? I've never heard of tipping your plumber or mechanic, so why would I be tipping another person setting their own rates?

I have tipped my plumber and mechanic.

I guess I mean more in terms of an independent contractor. If your guy is working from something like Roto-Rooter or American Tire Depot or something, they're just an employee.

Hmm, both the people I tipped owned their own business, I felt their prices were fair, they were honest and did a good job.

When it comes to service jobs, I'll buy donuts for them too, or whatever. I dunno, I think it comes from a mindset like, man your job is hard to do 8 hours a day, I appreciate your skill at it.
