ALL "tuner" shops do that. If your paying someone to work on your car, your wasting money IMO.

I worked at BASZ while his car was there, you don't know the whole story. Kevin was taken care of, he went from 17" konigs to Volks from all of that too. he also got carbonfiber hood, a SET of TIENS. It was his idea to handle the insurance company the way he did. He got so much **** for free it was ridiculous. AS far as the car sitting here, I told him we couldnt get to it for 2 weeks, he still chose to have it towed down here. It sat like we said it would, he got mad and had it towed out.....
I found this on the second page of the thread so i dont know about the whole situation............

say all my 7thgen peeps, I got a question for you. I find myslef in that situation, I could easily handle this myself, but the last thing I need right now is trouble with the law. So if a 4,000 dollar job is nearly 75% paid, what would you do?

could u clarify?...as in there would be plenty of money left over?...if there is than i recommend dont rip the person off and return what is left over with a clear legit written estimate...my friend just started a shop and he's been honest since day 1 and now its blowing up just cuz of his reputation as a trustworthy guy...he made twice as much within the first 3 months of being open even with expenses as his old managerial job at autozone and pepboys...he broke even on the first month but hey im just giving my recommendation do as you wish but beware of concequences if u get caught for fraud...as in removal of your shop license, jail time, huge fines, etc...just to let u know
