    how can a guy like that get customers like that?!!



    especially when he uses a "before" pic like this (all the white spots look like polish residue to me, but he doesnt want you to know that...) http://www.alwaysperfectdetail.com/images/rover_bef.jpg



    and the after: http://www.alwaysperfectdetail.com/images/rover_aft.jpg

    I think I may be able to shed some light on what this guy is trying to do (not that I agree with it). I quickly scanned his list and what I think he is doing is charging more or the $40.00 pr/hr for vehicle that are either very expensive or a specialty car. For example, We all know that a yukon and an escalade are essentially the same vehicle but one costs significantly more than the other and holds more prestige to own. The owner of the more expensive version may be more inclined to pay a little extra as an ego boost for him/herself because their vehicle is "better" than the lower priced version. He may also be trying cover his *** in case he screws up something on a more expensive or specialty car. Just throwing it out there - what do you guys think?

    I don`t think that is right. This guy almost certianly has insurance. His deductible doesn`t change whether he scratches a Porsche or a Pinto. He is just trying to screw people he feels are rich and stupid. I`m sure a psychologist would have a hay day with this guy. He must have some issues with people who are of means.

    f150 Quad Cab (quad cab is a chevy erm by the way. it`s SUPER CREW) 275.00



    Harley f150 40/hr. Same truck. One has a supercharged ening, badges, and a little chrome. Not much.



    Mustang 190



    Mustang Cobra 40/hr. Only supercharged engine and a bigger hood essentially ( front bumper is essentialy the same size)



    Expedition 260



    Lincoln Navigator 40/hr. Little wood grain and moving steps. Reall worth that?



    Ford Tarus 190



    Mercry Sable 175



    Nissan 350Z 40/hr. Costs less than the expedition Eddie Bauer, and is smaller. Still will end up being more..



    Saleen is 40/hr. Only a faster mustang with hood, bumper, ,rims and suspension.



    Atleast he has hrysler and Plymouth costing the eact same thing...



    Wonder how many customers he has lost with this system?

    Hey! Let`s review the first line of the first post:



    "I`m not offering an opinion."



    Let`s rise above, and avoid, the obvious.



    This guy (the good Lord willing) is making a living at this. In his own market, in his own way. And, at least from the pictures, it seems he has a grip on what we think is the `right way` to do things.



    B4 we post again, think about this: Is he an Autopian?:nixweiss
