[QUOTE="DARKHART, post: 7991190, member: 544747"] Most of you on here are crazy with the heat, you complain about the price shops charge cause you want everything cheap! Hell cheap doesn't pay overhead, there's a difference between being fairly priced and cheap but hell most of you want cheap. You have no clue what it takes to keep a shop going then you want to cry about being overpriced, but still you need the experts to explain the most basic of things to you. We didn't become experts in this field over night or without paying dues. Now granted there are some shops out there that really shouldn't be in business and have as*hats that work there, but there are a great many shops that do excellent work and they deserve EVERY DIME they charge. I can't tell you the number of cars that I've seen literally burnt to the ground because the installer didn't know what the hell they were doing and on the other hand I've seen intalls done that I could only hope that I could get to that level some day. These online line retailers are simply furthering the race to zero and the manufactures that sale to them are destroying this industry. That's what's wrong with this country now, we want everything bigger, faster, better, and CHEAPER but yet we still want top pay for the work we do! Well guess what, it can't happen and that's why things get shipped overseas so we can get it cheaper but da*n now we want to bit*h and moan cause it's not made in the good ole USA.....How would you like it if you were asked to work for less an hour because the company had to lower the selling price of it's services....most of us are so arrogant you'd tell your boss to shove it and quit....don't think it happens just look at Hostess, the Bakers Union was too arrogant and greedy and they said no to a pay and benefits reduction so the company closed and now NONE OF THEM have a job, benefits or a pension....... That's my rant for the night..... [/QUOTE]
