After a couple of those disasters, nowadays if they don’t want to do it the right way with the right parts the first time, I tell them take it somewhere else so they can blame them when it fails. I've got a pretty good feel now who might turn out to be a problem customer, and I politely refer them somewhere else. That's what's nice about doing it on the side, it's not like I have to keep taking customers in to keep the lights on. This just turns into extra fun money (unfortunately it also turns into less time to work on my car.)
This is exactly why I don't work on other peoples projects...
