Component install PISSED OFF

well the guy doing the install is really cool about it. No they wanna charge like 5 - 10 more then before he said 60 - 65 bucks and now he said 70 - 75 which isnt tooooo big a deal. So if i didnt sign anything I probably would not have to pay if they tried to cheat me. I dont think this guy will, and i wont pay anything over 75. Next time ill be sure to get a work order if i go somewhere. The guy installing them did this for about 20 years in many many different shops is loves doing his work. He was gonna stay after hours to finish it but the owner wouldnt let him.

I can not speak for the other two but I don't see the point, my reputation speaks for itself.

yea im not certified either but i have a pretty good rep and have never come across something i couldnt make work.....mostly because ive got a real good idea what ive got to work with before i start...my latest challenge doorwise recently is our demo vehicle....getting a 6.5 component set in the rear doors....not too hard....gettin a pair of comp sets in the front doors.....1-6.5, 1-5.25 and a tweet.....i love doing this stuff....the bigger the challenge the more i thrive on it...i love it when people are like " how in the hell did you get that in there?"

He will be back.

I try to do the same with the people I install for. If I give them a price up front and something changes I let them know as soon as I can. That way they know what they are getting into.

Same thing with repair work. I do a quick look over for free, and then give an exstimate from there. Then if I work it for a while and can't find anything, then its free. The way I see it, if I didn't fix anything, I cant really charge them. Thats only happened a twice, and both guys insisted they give me something for my time.
