You are giving him an awful lot of credit or being"fair" when you still have no idea what he charges his customers or what he profits. He has a business that works for him and works for his customers, same as many other shops who do things differently, myself included. He gets my respect for...

What's really important is just exactly how much markup is acceptable on their Spam.

Collision guy here. Who here even realizes that book time is based on the time it takes to install a new undamaged part on a new undamaged car. First off, we rarely work on an undamaged car. Secondly, body parts don’t always come in undamaged. Do you want me straightening up a $1000.00 new...

Got my granddaughter started on the good stuff. Weekly payment in hand...:lol_hitti

Then they will all piss, moan and bellyache that there is no one left to install their eBay parts.

Amazing how many don’t. That’s why so many of them have failed and resort to bitching on message boards. They also have no clue as to how many man hours and paperwork are involved in the handling of just $100,000.00 per month of parts and materials around an automotive related business. Workers...

As a collision repair shop, no way in hell could we get by on labor only. In the year 2020, we are still fighting to get a measley $68.00 per hour shop rate. What irks me about the local auto parts stores is that none of them have a set list price that they bill from. They will sell most items...

Snap on rebuilds air tools for about $100.00, parts included. Just sayin'... I recently sent two off and they lost them both. They sent me new replacements.:)

If you want some decent higher end quality spray guns without spending a small fortune, check into some Sharpe Finex guns. I have one of their HVLP gravity feed detail guns that I would put up against my Sata Mini Jets any day. Keeping a gun clean is key to any of them working as designed. Get...

Go old school vintage!http://https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-4-Inch-Diamond-Calk-Horseshoe-Diamalloy-Adjustable-Mini-Wrench-USA/303480460476?hash=item46a8d854bc:g:~3sAAOSwPMpeQLe4

His old Craftsman workbench and 3 inch Wilton bullet he freshened up. A friend of mine had bought some cabinet/ work benches and didn’t use the tops. I got two of them and glued them together for a 2 3/8 inch thick top work surface.

He and I are a little alike in that we collect and tinker. Guns, motorcycles, tools...doesn't matter. :) He has been rebuilding an old house and has amassed quite a set of tools for a 25 year old. We have a few older Craftsman tools that are users. This batch of old ones probably won't see...

Facebook marketplace from the Houston area. The guy had the new in the box polisher listed that peaked my interest so I messaged him to see if he would ship it. I mentioned that my son and I have a small collection of old Craftsman stuff and he stated he had other items he was about to list. He...

Simple Green will fade out a lot of lower quality paint finishes. I've always been a fan of the old school Gunk engine degreaser in the aerosol cans, not the foamy ****. Good find, I also couldn't pass up a free one as a first vise!

Few more pics

He picked up some really nice new and nearly new pieces this weekend. 150 bucks for all.

Can you buy additional swivel casters for the 44’s? I want to get a pair of them t put under a 9 1/2’ maple bench top I had made.

Must be a good time to send in air tools for repair. They lost both of mine and sent me new replacements for the cost of repairs...:) I think this falls into into that category of “good” customer service.

Not to mention claiming that Sears buries 55 gallon drums of paint at the local landfill...😳 I’m sure one of those Gubmint alphabet agencies would like to know more about that.

Good grade epoxy pushing 6 years old and has been underwater flooded twice so far... Granted, no cars driving through here but a good bit of activity through the years. It is still perfect except where an engine fell off of a plastic tote after floating up and tipping over during the flood.
