Thread: Two More Months Wasted ..............

Tweet

Service is still the key to a successful shop IMO... People expect you to do what you say you will do in a decent time frame, and they should expect no less... Don't know about the rest of the country, but now that times are (again) a bit lean the shops with the "in by 9, out by November" mindset are dropping like flies.

Hate to see when one of our CHR members becomes a victim of one of these shops who think that the customer's time frame doesn't matter. Hope they didn't waste a bunch of your money along with the two months of time you invested in them, Coyote!!!!!

I think the only good news in this whole economic issue now as that a lot of these shops won't make it through the lean times!!!!

They're being paid exactly $0.00 ............. Nimrod said he couldn't figure how to get the sealing primer off the body to do his work

Good point Klutch.... and this makes it extremely challenging for the legitimate shops to generate new business. Word of mouth will always be the best advertising, and I really hope that Coyote and all the others experiencing similar situations with other shops put "the word" out!!!!!!

That's good! Think I'd be tempted to bill HIM about $50.00 a day for slowing down your project so much....just like a contractor who finishes a project late and has to pay a daily penalty!!! Doubt he'd ever pay you anything, but I'll bet you'd get his attention!!!!!!!

sounds like they did not want the job or was more work then whey wanted .i have had stuff sit in my shop . i have also told the customer there job is not my only job in the shop so i juggle jobs in the shop BUT if i tell you a done date i try very hard to keep it

do them 1 at a time , do them right and charge what it's worth. i only need one at a time since i'm the only one working on them.
