Lenie - I totally understand where you're coming from. It doesn't seem to matter if it's cars, plumbing, electrical, sprinklers, HVAC, janitorial, landscaping, fencing, etc. I think part of the issue may be that time is so fragmented/interrupted with recreational electronics and social networking by those doing specialty work that they can't drill-down and focus on a task for 8 hours a day four or five days a week like in decades past.
I've been running into issues with less than desirable repair work that was done on my Camaro, truck, and wife's vehicle.........all by longtime high quality reputation companies in the town I've lived my entire life.
It's not just effecting the blue-collar worker, the managers and owners are guilty too.
That slice of 24 hours we refer to as a day is getting sliced into way too many pieces.
Sadly, I've gotten to the point that I just plan on thoroughly inspecting everything I have worked on to insure it's correct. Usually I can do the necessary work myself easier/quicker than I can reschedule the call-back work. I do make an effort to advise the company of the issues so they can address them internally.
