Would you take a customers custom contract at your business?
My opinion is that if you go to court, with or without a contract, you lose...(Financially) A $40,000 investment isn't large when you get attornies involved.

Todd you no I always value your opinion ! To answer your question about a contract for my business its simple for me. I DON'T EXCEPT ANY MONEY UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE!!! That's my contract the money is my motivator!!! The car has to go or I don't get paid. I don't use other peoples money to fix other peoples cars that way! My father in law ran his shop like that for 65 years and I continue to run mine the same way..

Never the less we all still have locks on our doors.

The guy that will sign the contract might be the guy that really needs the money because he is lousy at what he does.

Charley you do bring up a valid point.

Simple.

Chad I think that's a great way of putting it ''CONTRACT'' may be the wrong word here . I would say more of an'' agreement''.
