A guy with a shitbox willing to spend money is still a worthwhile customer even if you think its a worthless car. A guy with money is often more of a jew with it than a guy with less money.
And Ive been paying off all my bills and saving for a house, not that I really need to explain it.
It makes sense when your base is high end builds. If your bread and butter is $5k, $10k, and so-on jobs, losing a $500 bullshit job from someone who isn’t likely to come back with anything but another issue that they may or may not try to pin on your shop in the future is a no-brainer… I say good for him for what he has been able to do and best of luck in his future endeavors
Paul old cars don’t pay ! Lets use your car for instance , I did clutch and the. The neutral safety switch took a shit and didn’t start . Well the time I took into looking into that prevents them from starting a 20k build ! Old cars take more time to work on than new cause of rust etc do I need to keep going ?
Most shops charge by the hour regardless of what they’re doing. I took my truck to a shop for work and they didn’t turn it away because it wasn’t a Ferrari.
I wouldnt expect howard or tony to help me if i was gonna do ford or ls motor build as its an 89 and their shops loaded up with cars they can make wayy more money on…Totally understandable
It’s not a matter of money is money… It’s a matter of profit margin.
Like someone posted dudes walk into Howard with a brand new car and drop 30g easily. Why would he want to put a cam and headers in someone’s basket case 89 5.0 and tune it? Or tune some pos civic.
I wouldnt take a 96 Civic to GMG for performance work. Its just not worth it to some people. We turn people away often because either their budget doesnt match what they want done or the car isnt safe enough to have our name attached to it.
i know anthony would help me but when he has stuff goin on i wouldnt expect him to stop his projects unless i dropped it off for him to build follow me
I can say this thread is one of the first ive seen everyone agree on the same exact statements… Its nice its making me think shift could turn into a normal site
