lol
usually the pay me later is alot more pricey
today i had a guy break out the kingpin bearing housing on his axle. he noticed the wheel was cocked a little last week and didnt have it checked out, just kept on goin ,'till today when it broke the axle itslef

also thats the attitude that these days get u thrown out the door (up here anyway with 6 dealers and alot of indies within 20 miles)
ill just tell him its not gonna heal itself (id say something to that nature but depends on my relationship with the customer) and we should fix it before it takes out other components that are not broken yet. after that i have the office fax him a quote and drop the subject untill it breaks or he approves the quote
