lol just the idea that you understand there are poorly made cabinets
out there along with poorly made parts should give you the
understanding what I deal with. What if all you had was poorly made
cabinets to install and not only that but you were also expected to
fix the rotted wall studs they hang from and a leaking roof over them
and well the sagging floor do to the leaking roof and lets not forget
the wiring to the celling light. at the same cost you quoted the
cabinet instalation

I guess the difference between you and I is, I do a thorough inspection
before a quote is issued.... there is also a discussion with the customer
that hidden problems will be dealt with as they are found... when everything
is known ahead of time there are no surprises.


think about it for awhile then watch the vidio again

LOL... surely you jest? the issue with Joan's car is you charged her nearly
twice your original quote, you charged her for work that was clearly *NOT*
done(lots of it), then you tried to squirm, lie, and divert everyone's
attention away from those facts by slandering everyone else.... when you
can't disprove the argument presented you try to attack the person making
the case... very poor style and rarely successful. if you fail to do a
thorough quote, or you purposely bid it low just to get the customer on the
hook, you *deserve* to lose money... that is dirty low down business
ethics.... charging and being paid for work that was clearly not done is not
only illegal but also tells the true story of your business practices...


I just got another bug coming from a "professional" shop that I'm
going to tell the costumer either we rip apart everything that was
done and start over or I will have to find ways to work around the
hack work.

that is how it should be done... you should also be doing a thorough
inspection(lets face it, these cars are not that difficult to determine
their condition), giving an honest quote and discussing the possible
scenarios with said customer.

the quarter panels have been cut and replaced with 3/4" filler at
seems the bottom part of then at heater channel has just had patch tin
that is leaving big gaps. the lower 6"door gap between the replaced
quarter section is to small.

Now because we have all these experts here do I tell the guy I'm sorry
you already have $6000 + in a car not painted yet lets drag it to
shows to make the shop look bad? or lets start over and only speed
the $$$ on NOS heater channels and complete quarters or say look I
can do this this and this to make it as nice now as possible but
there be a few people putting it under a microscope to find my flaws,
and and lets not forget I should eat the cost of the paint because he
paid the other guy for it already.

you should not have to eat the cost of the paint that someone paid another
shop for... you should, however, *always* deliver what you promise and what
you were paid(in full) for... if the previous shop owner did that caliber of
work then gets on the internet and lies about it, calls it show winning, and
says he did work he didn't then I say hell yes drag it around and show off
his work because he's a lying, cheating, thief....

Wait why don't you just donate a few grand to him and give me one less
to worry about.

if you do a thorough quote and the customer agrees to hire you to do the
job, then you do what you promise and what you are paid to do, and at a
price that isn't double what you originally quoted(with it still being far
from "done") then why would anyone need to donate money? folks only step up
and help folks when it is clear that the person was fucked beyond belief and
they feel for them... such as in the case with Joan...


Its easy to bitch setting behind your keyboards while you projects
just set there while I have to deal with vehicles that have been
around 35 to 55 yrs having every cheap fix an "Idiot" that can read
or not do.

first you don't *have* to do it at all.... second, as I said several times
above, if you don't lie and steal the customer's money and deliver them a
dangerous piece of *** that is supposedly "restored" there won't be any
problems...


Hey Kelly I will come to your shop sometime soon I'm always up for
looking at projects in the works if I learn something great isn't
that what life is about? , hope you don't mind me bringing a friend or
2?

why would you need to do that? you afraid it may be a check cashing session?
