  1. 2k seems cheap. But then again I dont use used engines so it may be in line. Engien jobs always need additional parts, w/p, t-stat, mounts the list goes on and on.
  2. And if its not on then you need to focus on that. Were the system gets its power or if its a pressure issue etc.
  3. Hard to say for sure unless you ask were the people are coming from but as stated by someone else that two is better then one.
  4. We have a verus and it has been good so far not quite a year. I have heard lots of horror stories. Even from locals who own it.
  5. we close for an hour at lunch also. Our hours are m-f 8-5:30. I usually open the door at 7 and close it around 6. If someone is waiting throught lunch they can i rearely leave but close the office so I can clean up the shop alittle and do estimates etc during lunch while eating. If needed I would stay open and never woudl ask someone to leave. How can docots get away with that. they also get away with alot more mistake then us yet every human body works the same way and the orgins are in the same spots? lol. Techs are smarter then docotrs no doubt in my opinion.
  6. We use mitchell have for a long long time. great support if needed and overll love the product
  7. We had an ambulance wheel fall of in our parking lot when it was being brought it. thankfully it had just had brand new tires put on by someone else. That was neat
  8. The only ethenol related issues we see is if a vehicle is sitting for a long time then it seems to absorb alot of moisture and corrode easily.
  9. We have evap coolers plumbed inot the walls of our shop. It helps alot. We are not a humid climate but it gets hot could be 115 outside any given summer day. I would not consider a/c with the electrical cost. We ran a/c in a body shop I worked at along tiem ago and the electric bill was outa hand. I am gettign solar put on my roof to help with elect costs but still wouldnt consider a/c due to the expence.
  10. I do not knwo the exact date id say 5-6 years ago. I looked in my files and have no info on when or how much? sorry I bought it from napa or carquest I believe sometimes they will do like 90 days same as cash
  11. Could it lead to more buisness if a car is sold and on the carfax it shows you as the servicing shop for the vehicle?
  12. If she was upset she was lost anyways. I bet if you had noted it but not mentioned it it would have been a no issue. Maybe just have noted it on invoice. It was prolly there all along but she never noticed it.
  13. Im in the same boat been looking for another top guy for a while with no luck. Guess its easier to complain of no work, lack of tools and equipment then to come to a place with it all.
  14. Im all for it as long as its enforced and does not just raise our costs while leaving the "bottomfeeder" garages alone.
  15. Someone told me in canada u have to be licensed and insured or its against the law. That would be nice if enforced.
  16. Thats part of the reason why I feel we need some sort of regulation were we have to be licesened or certified or at least insured. That way the shade tree or crap shops will get fined or punished for doing the crappy work i see and refuse to fix.
  17. I use se and like it. Ive been using mitchell for 10 + years. I love there products and support (although its rarely needed.)
  18. Ive been using mitchell for over 10 yrs and am very happy with all there products and support
  19. I have 2 of the new flip face robinairs. they work well. But need alot of repairs. Ive had mine repaired twice each under warranty and once each out of warranty.
  20. I do get quite a few non seperables in from other shops were we do the whole brake job. Basically they sublet it to us
  21. We have had a procut for prolly 10 years now and its the same one and has never let us down. A great product. In fact id buy a new one if I could ever get my salesman to demo the new one. Ive asked on at least 3 occasions.
  22. Yes thats the one i just verified.
  23. I think is was brake and frotn end?
  24. I saw an article of yours in the magazine. Nice
