just me having a cry... But seriously

[fat4D]

seriouslyso today i was suppos to have valve springs and cams installed in my turbo, the whole process seemed to be goin well. I did a call around 2 weeks ago and found a great deal when a local place quoted me around 600 give or take 100 depending on the the time taken.

So this morning dropped the car off and the bloke said that he would give me a call when he opens it up and gets a better idea of cost. So 12 oclock came and no word and as i had left my bike key on the key ring figured i would drop past get the key an have a chat as the day was half over so they would need the car tomorrow aswell. An this is when it all turned sour they were just starting the work (had rocker cover off an getting tools all organised) an the guy turns around and said it will now be costing around 12-13 hundred. And when i put the question of the call to him he simply said they were goin to tell me when i came in this arvo. So i told then to put it back together an I'll take my business else where. Imagine if i didn't need that key and returned to get the car with a bill close to double what i was quoted. Unfortunately i wouldn't have a leg to stand on as it was a verbal quote.

The thing that gets me is how can you run a business like that?
