But now it seems with nothing in writing the shop is looking to get more for the job or it couldn't do the job for the agreed budget??
Rodger, Tim has built the car himself this was not a full build just somrthings he needed finished up.
I understand where you both (Rodger and Vince) are coming from as you both own shops, unfortunately you are both in the minority when doing things the right way. Sooooo many crooks out there today or guys that do great work but do NOT have a clue how to charge for it. I also get that soooo many customers do NOT understand what it takes to do these builds/projects! I see it all the time when I tell someone how much it will cost just for paint and materials!
I'm not saying this guys is a crook but there is definitely a miscommunication somewhere between Tim and the owner of the shop. |
Rick you are correct I guess I am trying to be really vague on a subject that needs detail to understand. Invoices, work complete, and work to be done.
When I asked why it took so long 40 hours, to install 25 ft of stainless steel brake line which was indicated on the invoice I was a little taken back. I do not want something for nothing. I just want a man to stand behind his word!
