I just scammed my own mother for $70
>changed the air filter in her car
>it took 30 second and costs $15
>I told her it was $85
Am I going to hell for this? Also what's another good easy scam to pull?

I run my own car repair shop and I usually scam people on the tires, sell them unneeded repairs and my beloved catalytic converters.

My favorite customers are woman and minorities because they are dumb as shit and easy to trick and will pay more than they really have to and they usually dont know the laws here so its super easy to make money off them.
My best deal in recent months was scamming a Ukrainian for his Mercedes. He sold it to me for 7k (its worth 40k+).
I fix it up, invest a little bit so I can make 20k profit.
Time of work? Couple hours at most.

my Mentor was Jewish and I learned a lot from him about how to run a profitable business.

people still get their car repaired, its not like I'm taking their money and run away.
they just pay more than they should and there is nothing wrong about it, I'm not afraid of making some money.

as the guy on the receiving end i unironically have no problem with this (within reason). i.e. if a mechanic charges me €60 for a tire change i know costs €20, not because i have any knowledge of cars but because it's easy to read it on his face, i'll pretend to be a dumb geek and pay up with a smile. spending an hour at the shop already costs me more financially than the price hike anyway, and it makes him feel happy and alpha. win/win
ITcucks and the like should think more about opportunity cost. 1, it's not worth fretting over $100 when you make $200 per hour. 2, people in blue collar jobs are catastrophically underpaid compared to bullshit office jobs, and letting them "scam" you is part of the balance if we don't want a revolution

I also dont rip off everyone, it depends on the customers and how they behave (if they are rude, if they show respect, if the argue about the price, if they are ukrainian etc.)
sometimes people show up that are likeable and I charge less than I have to because they are in a bad spot and need help, I just put that bill on the next asshole I dont like.

so Tl;dr there has to be a balance and you cant rip off everyone or else the business will wither away and die.

Thats what a lot of bike shops do too and the reason why I fix my bike myself now. Fixing a car is harder and not as easily doable I guess... but those bike repair shops are literal thieves. Doing simple tasks for each 20euros which takes like 5minutes and doing things you didnt ask for + doing some things flat out wrong or incomplete

it's one thing to scam others and another to scam your own mother because she will always inherently trust you.

This. If I can tell that someone is overcharging me for a service that I don't want to do myself, or for a small item, I just pay anyway and consider it an act of noblesse oblige. I only haggle when I'm buying something more expensive and that needs to be reliable for many years (like a computer, a car, or some kind of long-term investment).
