    Good Luck
    Nope, wasn't my car... I was working there trying to help a guy out getting a shop going.. Guess I couldn't lower my standards enough to meet his, so I packed up and left. Saw a couple of cars that were not done correctly, too many corners cut in order to get the customer's money. Tried to convince the owner that if you take care of the quality the money will follow, and he didn't believe me. I'm old fashioned I guess, just refuse to sacrifice quality work for a quick buck...
