heres the bottom line. as far as your concerned in my eyes. i said it once before but you dont see it in all of your wisdom. you keep saying you call it as you see it but your not seeing the whole thing so shut the **** up about it. if you want to see where this goes and base your decision to do any future business with michael on what he has to say then thats fine.
We can disagree on something, but don't tell me to STFU and I won't tell you to. It's called a debate, if you don't like what I have to say, skip past it or hit the back button...
and plenty of people pay beforehand. its not uncommon for people to completely pay me for a job that i havent even started on yet. for some people its just easier that way. you ask for a deposit and they just give it all to you.
It's not uncommon, but if you say I can install it for X amount, you either do it or give a refund (atleast particle.) I dont know, but it seems like once you get it apart you'd know something isnt right, you either put it back to how it was, or explain to the customer its going to take more time and money??? It seems simple to understand, maybe it only makes sense to me????
and as far as whether or not i have any credit or not with you personally, you are welcome to stop by any time in the real world and leave the internet behind so.
I'd still do business with you. If bought something and a month later still no product or contact/updates... then yeah, I'd be pissed!!! Horrible of me, I know!!!
regardless of how you want to take what i say about whether or not some cars are harder to work on
I never said that some cars arent harder than others. Re-read what I wrote, I said it's his job (mikes) to know the car (or atleast the make/model) before giving a qoute. If I called a shop and said I needed an h.o alternator installed and they qouted me $100 bucks, but once I drove 2 hours to their shop they changed it to $300, I wouldnt be real happy...
And I know the car was hacked and that changes things, but inform the customer ASAP and let them decide if they have the extra time and/or money... The outcome would probably turn out better than doing half the job and then saying "gotta go to dinner, see ya"
i have built show winning vehicles and i am well respected in my area and have other shops call me to ask how to do things when they get stuck on something. im not hateful at all to the other shops. i firmly believe that there is more than enough work to go around.
I dont really have a reason to question your work or your character... If a thread pops up "has anybody seen smoker/terry" and then another one reading "explain this"
then I'll call it how I see it....
I don't want to argue with you. I see (but not necessarily agree) with you point. Let's just agree to disagree???
