One of my advisors came in my office with a pissed off customer. Seems he had purchased a used alternator for his truck and paid us to install., but it was crap. He returned it to the junkyard and got a replacement. When the advisor told him he would have to pay the same labor, he blew up and insisted we replace it for free. I told him we would not charge for the second one and gave him the number to the tow company we used so he could tow his truck to someone who would do it for free. Attitude changed and he said he was willing to pay half. I asked if he wanted to use my phone.

Moral of the story: The cheapest is seldom the least expensive. At the time, our labor rate (posted) was $105 per hour; $135 if you supplied parts.

I’m sure this is true for all cars, but in the Mercedes forums I run in the saying is; there’s nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes. Trying to save a few bucks on used/super cheap parts almost always ends up being false economy. The same can be said of labor too. Sometimes it is cheaper to pay more $$ to someone who knows their shit and won’t have to struggle fuck their way through an oil change on your garbage-ass V12

You mean you don't warranty used customer furnished parts?
I suppose you charge for the labor too?
Jeez, with policies like that - a guy could almost stay in business instead of doing work for free and trying to make it up with volume.

Buy high, sell low, and do lots of volume.

Every car we serviced received a free tail light brightness enhancer. "extended warranty"

We're fast approaching the "Post USSR" tax rate. After the Soviet Union fell, governments at all levels were scrambling to find (steal) revenue. Saw an interview with a business owner who said he was impossible to pay all the taxes levied. If I recall, it amounted to 110 percent of his gross income.

Eventually, I expect to see:
- White tax
- Heterosexual tax
- Healthy tax
- Generation tax
- Social score tax
- Job tax (because you have a job)
- Appliance use tax
- Tax tax

I could go on...
