Salary Negotiation

I just finished an interview for a company which was interested in having me perform hard drive diagnostic services for batches of RMA'd drives. I am interested in the job, except they intend to start me off at $13CAD/hr which I find low for the work I'd be doing. I wasn't about to turn the initial interview into a salary negotiation session as I've heard that's something that will essentially kill the interview process, but when is an appropriate time to negotiate a better starting wage and how do I go about it? Also, what sort of pay should I expect from this position? I'm thinking somewhere closer to $17-$20/hr, but I can't think of what an official title for this position would be so I have no idea where to begin looking for a wage comparison.

Just be sure you have some numbers to back it up. Is the HDD thing all you'll be doing? I would say look for HelpDesk Level 1 or HelpDesk Tech to get an idea.
