Parts have to be 24% or less of the job. So I get a part that takes no time to put on for $20, I have to charge $100 for our percentages to be right. That’s one thing I hate about corporate office crap. I try to cut people breaks whenever I can. Tell them to get the part themselves and I’ll throw it on for free if it takes me 5 minutes. At the same time I work on hourly with commission bonus, so I do try to sell things that are needed.

That can be tough; as i work for a company who perform's all maintenance & repairs on a County Fleet. From weedeaters------90,000lb+ track hoes & Compactors....including Police/Ambulance & Fire

It’s a judgement call most times. If I can see they’re struggling I try to help them as much as I can. Sounds like I try to rip rich people off, but I don’t. Hahaha. Just have to make a judgement based on the situation. If I smell weed it’s automatically 10% increase. XD I’ve had so many people come in with their car smelling so strong of weed I can’t sit in it. My boss says if they have money for weed they have money to fix their car. They usually don’t fix it. Lol.

The best part is my boss used to be on the drug task force here in bibb county and in Houston county. I can’t stand the smell of weed and won’t get into a car that is really strong. I’m still on probation and don’t want any chance of that being on me. XD

Used to have his OLD guy come in to have his car worked on. NOBODY wanted to work on it. Open up the door and all you smelled was PISS. The guy would piss himself driving the car.

Had a woman come in driving a ferd f250 4x4. Said it's making a strange noise under it. Put it up on the lift and started to

Some how. She drove over a coil of heavy gauge wire, and it wrapped it's self around the rear driveshaft.

Spent half a day removing it.

Oof.

I love when people bring me a car that isn’t blowing any air out of the vents and I open the passenger door to check the blower motor and the floor is stacked full of fast food bags and empty drink bottles. I can’t stand having a handful of receipts in the door pocket. Everyone is different I suppose.

I had to work on one from the hood that smelled like chit... and there was a couple of suspicious looking stains on both sides of the front seat. I sat on a piece of cardboard to move the car, wore a double set of gloves and STILL got scabies.......

I wanted to toss a grenade in the car.... with the driver......
