An honest salesman will get return customers?

I just tell people that everything else is shit even if I've never heard of it, so they should buy mine.

this is true to an extent, however price does still play a role in it.

I like this option aswell with some customers.

Hey Brett.

[Brett]

Never being a friend of a friends cheap mechanic ever again.

Diagnosed a friends, Friends car the other day. Needed a water pump and some hoses.
Got the ok to do it, Was gonna head over this afternoon on the way home, Fix it up and head off.
Bought the parts, Double checked it was good for this afternoon. Got a text saying that $100 labour + parts is a bit steep to be changing a water pump.

EADC, Getting a refund tomorrow and never helping out another kent again. $100 for me to remove old pump, Install new pump, Supply coolant and insure it's good to go.

Cheap as bloody chips in my books, It was on a alloytec VZ commodore. (Which is a fairly easy job)

End rant.


Nearly got the spec b wheels ready for paint and making some curry up for dinner

Considering the last time I had this service on one of my cars I got charged nearly 4 hunge, I say tell em to go get fooked. It's bullshit what some people expect from a friend of a friend. I used to get it all the time when I was detailing. One bloke told me that since his friend had referred me to him, I should give HIM a discount. Not 'ing likely sunshine. I said since your friend has referred me I would give his friend a discount next time. Not him.

@Brett: Did you give them Kitto's number?

[Brett]

Can't believe they are moving me to the brewery next week. Sooo soon.

Doesn't bother me at all that it's not getting done. Just bothers me that i had to organise the parts and pay for them in advance.

I've changed my ways now, Not doing after hours work until they show some dollars or supply the parts after i have given them the correct part no.

No more trade price unless you are a good mate
