Project builds and Shops.

This pretty much sums it up. There have been a couple threads lately about project builds and costs and there have been HUNDREDS of threads about projects gone wrong, I am not saying everything in this video applies but the majority does.
Some good things for customers to think about in here.

That video is really a good example of the mentality of the this industry.

Just because it seems like and apple to apple comparison does not mean it's so.

You get what you pay for with completed work

Don't expect professional results from non professionals

If some one has to tell you how good they are or how bad some one else's work is to get your work run.

Find out why cars in a shop are not getting worked on. A professional shop cannot afford to store a project in the shop that is not being worked on.

There are 3 sides to every story

Never trust a shop that needs to be paid for labor up front.

Good video. He hit the nail on the head towards the end about the kid that wouldn't believe what he saw in front of him but believes the **** on the internet. And the phone ringing made me laugh to.

Good + Cheap = Slow
Choose good and cheap and we will do a great job for a discounted price, but be patient until we have a free moment from paying clients.

Fast + Cheap = Inferior
Choose fast and cheap and expect an inferior job delivered on time. You truly get what you pay for, and in our opinion this is the least favorable choice of the three.

I think Sheck hit the head on the nail with that one.

I couldn't get through it all (ADHD or something) but I liked his delivery of a message about "looking within" - meaning ask yourself what role you take in the project - both in its successes and its failures. Customers often blame the shop and shops often blame the customer. Lots of huge egos in this car world - on both sides.

How about some good ole fashioned personal accountability? Yeah.

WTF?! Dave, you're reason this was posted! Guys, the intervention didn't work...we're going to need stronger tactics.
