The PROBLEM is we've discussed this before. I would gladly put it on
paper but I've dealt with him for over a year and never needed too. The
original guy who worked on my truck left and this new guy is a gung ho
kid. The owner knows my situation, he has tons of lawyers, doctors and
high ranking military guys with vehicles in his shop .. I'm the
exception to the rest. As for taking up space, there are numerous
vehicles I've never seen ever worked on while mine has been in there,
and mines just a cab.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill.
Nothing hurts feelings, (and the wallet), quite like the lack of pen and
paper. ANYTIME you have something done by a professional, or buy
something from somebody, have it written down on paper. Included every
little detail of price, date due, what to do, what NOT to do, color,
size, etc., etc. I'm not blaming you personally, but little things like
this is why its getting so hard, and expensive to get anything done.
Gentlemen's agreements just dont cut it anymore. He may have thought
that he was doing you a favor by doing something that needed to be done
sometime, anyway. I'm sure he deals with hundreds of people, and trying
to keep all those details of what to do to which vehicle is more than
anyone is capable of doing and not messing up once and a while.
Remember that he has a building to pay for, if your truck is taking up
some
space, its also taking up some $$$ for him.
In my opinion, if the work is good, pay him for it, and learn your
lesson. If you dont, then next week when one of "us" comes by to get a
deal, we will be paying for the hurt feelings he has towards you.
Good Luck, Pat Hollister
