Not a good day at all.

Thanks Eric, but I'm just $5 cheaper than most of the local shops. The most expensive independant here is (still haven't figured this one out) $72.50. The local Firestone is $50 an hour, but it's an independant dealer. We're in a low income area so things as a rule are cheaper most of the time. If I was in DFW I'd be charging $90 an hour to stay just under the least expensive shop up there. The dealers here are charging $100 an hour btw. We only have 2 and they're a joke.

That sucks. Some guys are just pricks and don't understand that your trying to run a business. As far as labor, I've been getting 40/hr for sidework. All the shops around me are 75-125.....atleast the ones that you would actually want to touch your car.

I sure wish you lived closer. At the moment buildings are one thing I do have laying around.

You got anything up my way? I've been looking for awhile and can't seem to find something resonable up here.

Note to self: Never piss Brian off. X2 on that one. He is right. bury him. Just a thought but check out closed dealers around you and see if they are renting out bays. There is a closed dealer by me that rents bays for $700 a month and that includes power and air . Raise your pricing. If your good and people know it they will pay. Dont discount any money unless its family.

That sux, sorry to hear you tried to do him good and he backstabbed ya. Can ya just up and move out? Or are you locked in a lease? If not I'd move asap, then say a prayer his truck blows up and leaves him stranded no less, then poke fun at him for being a cheap bastard.

Not stuck in a lease but I have to get rid of some stuff first. I've got a for sale add going right now and have 12 adds on craigs list so far. I've got to many vehicles to move so they have to go except for the T type, GN, and the Regal parts car. Motorcycle is already gone and I have several people coming to take a look at the others. I don't want to scrap the extras if I don't have to.

Your landlord really makes the saying "No good deed goes unpunished" ring true.

What a corksocker!

Best of luck to you!
