[QUOTE="3kgtAudio, post: 8202334, member: 565768"] Keeping the customer happy doesn't pay the bills all the time though, especially when they expect online pricing and super cheap install. Theres a fine line going too cheap, becomes working at near minimum wage, and thats not enough to keep the lights on. There is a minimum profit margin that must be met to be worth it. Some shops around here literally do pay their techs near minimum wage just to give the customer a cheap install, and thats not good for either the tech or the customer, that inexperienced low paid tech is not going to do a good job consistently. When your talking about brining in your $20,000 car is it really worth going to the lowest possible deal? Theres a lot of preaching going on here, but how many of you have actually owned a business or shop? What the 'consumer' thinks would be suicide for a business most of the time. [/QUOTE]
