Stop in for a cup of coffee

I guess I just don't understand the business model for a paint and body shop. I did my best to try and get a solid relationship with owner. I paid cash and explained I really did not need paperwork just wanted car back as promised. That was a couple two or three deadlines ago. Not sure how he can point at a couple cars that were not on lot at last visit and explain Demon will be right after them. I am just not going to stress over it as this topic will wind me up like a clock. If I ran my business this way I would be tits up in no time.

George isn't in the business really anymore. I think similar to Mitch's garage work. He'll take on a job if he wants. Difference is mechanical is generally in and out, and of course Mitch is getting done what comes in ASAP.

The guy who did the major body and paint work on my car told me from the get go that insurance collision work came first. That was his bread and butter. His turn around was pretty quick though. He had one helper on an as needed basis. One or two restorations, and usually a 'wreck' from an auction that he knew he could get a good return when straightened. Worked regular hours. Smart guy.
