<HTML>I love it when some student of the school, goes home and then calls two weeks later and says, "I have this problem, and you guys did not cover it in the class", and we say, "open the friggen manual and read page ## then call us back".
Like, does anyone really understand anymore that a "book" is to be read , take time to understand the written word and to be used as reference, not a "scribble pad"???

Do it right or don't do it all!

<HTML>When you tell your service manager that tree sap cant be scraped off , and he does it anyway and you spend the next hour repairing, or trying to repair, the scratches in the hood on a brand new 2005 vehicle, black paint, customer picking it up in 1 hour. We also deliver all new vehciles from the "delivery module" , one of the those things with the bright spot lights that make it look like a car show and shows every single blemish.

<HTML>He's on the Blue Collar Comedy show with "Larry the cable guy " .
He does a segment in his show where people ask him dumb questions , like his neighbour coming over as Bill is hitching his boat to his truck and the neighbour asks " taking the boat out then ?" and Bill replies , "no the trucks broken down and I'm pushing it to the shop with the boat ". Think he has a DVD out too.

<HTML>Yeah I used to work for U-haul Corporate Head Office when I was in college and the number one thing that people would ask when they called us was "Do you rent trucks?". I used to get that at least 15-20 times a day. I remember flatly telling a guy "nope - we stopped doing that" and he just sat there scratching his head and finally asked "are you serious?".</HTML>

<HTML>I hate it when people say
"if I had time I would do it myself"
I recently responded to the person..with all due respect I have every equipment, chemical, and tool available and I am going to have to bust my a$$ to clean your vehicle... Please tell me how you will be able to?
"I want my car wash, waxed and detailed"
" My car is in excellent condition"
My recent response.. Please do not insult my intelligence...I am neither blind nor stupid...please show me hich part of your vehicle is clean?
"Why so much? If I had the tools I would be able to remove the dent" when you are finished might also recommend the services of a good body shop.
"my car has a small dent..how much is it to remove?...client brings the vehicle huge ACCIDENT side completely bashed in...
"my car has a smell...how much is to remove the odor?
The list is endless</HTML>

<HTML>Here's the cake topper:
"Hello, I'd like to make an appointment to get graphics installed on my side doors."
My response in a cool voice (even though I want to strangle them) "I'm sorry, that's decaling not detailing." GET IT RIGHT!!!</HTML>
Take care,

<HTML>People in the industry who send me "personal" emails, to tell me I am not doing the industry a favor by being honest, confusing many with too technical of information, etc, that it makes their products questionable, and want me to start up a dialoge with them, so they can argue with me.
If they didn't get what I posted in public, why the hell would they think I would change my posistion in private?
If I am wrong, I say it, just that it "pisses" me off, that those who do that ,would think I am one to ever back down in private, when I am more than willing to go so in public and take the "slings and arrows" that come with it.
"grumble, grumble, grumble, etc, etc, etc"
(it's what us old farts do, grumble , grumble, grumble)

<HTML>LOL @ Ketch...,
ya sure would not want to be honest and offend someone..., it is just not "politically correct" to tell the truth these days, but instead, "tickle their ears" and tell them what they want to hear..., ya, right!!
Confusing them with technical information???
They would rather "razzle" them with "marketing" I suppose, LOL!!
How about-
"I can get the work done cheaper up town".
As always, my reply is" I recommend you go back up town and get the cheaper work done" LOL!!
Or-
"The last time I had it detailed they only charged $75".
My reply- "Wow! good price and they even threw in the swirl marks for free..., the rubber degrading solvent on your tires looks good too" LOL!!
It is nice to be able to "Pick & Choose" the jobs as well as customers
Off topic-
I read a cool anniversary card today.
The front has the bride and groom holding hands and walking together.
The bride asks the groom- "Do you think I am fat"?
The groom asking the bride- "Do you think I am stupid". LOL!!
I forgot what the inside said</HTML>
"The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."

<HTML>A little late to add to the threads but oh well!
I had my own experience with trying to explain to my former boss that I was car DETAILING, not DECALING. He went off and off about how people install fancy graphics and molding on cars, and I tried at least three times to get it through the moron's head DETAILING is about cleaning a car, not applying stickers. I also have tons of people ask what is car detailing???
People constantly mispronounce my first name, and then asking when they see my last name is Springer if I'm related to Jerry Springer. I tell them, you think I look rich??? And why am I in Minnesota if that was the case???!!!
And Bill Engvall is hilarious! I also love the other guy, I cannot remember his name but he goes on stage with usually a cigarette and a drink. He's got whitish hair and has a @!#$-eating grin sometimes. Funny stuff!

<HTML>I really hate it when this one client, named Guido....don't knwo his last name but........I hate it when I detail his caddy and he forgets to remove the bodies from his trunk!! Man...doesn't he realize the germs going on in there?
Or when Tiger Woods calls me to detail his golf cart. The guy is a horrible driver (both on the course and off lately) and he constantly continues to go home through the sand traps and he never crosses over the little bridge over the creek but insists on going IN the creek! I come over and say......Hey! Wood......your golf cart only LOOKS like an H2......it's not real.....you freakin nut case!"
Ah...detailing, ya gotta love it!
