    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!!!!!!!
