Tracy's affect on BG's business.

[Glides]

A shop will never please everyone all of the time. You will always have people angry.

As for personal feelings, you are damm right one person that works at a business can make an impact when they run their filth holes. All shops have that one person that just doesn't get along with everyone. BG has Tracy, Tophat has Dirty Chris, every shop has that one guy who either speaks him mind and people can't handle it or just plain gets on everyones nerves.

Does this make them bad shops? Nope, just means that someones personal feelings towards that person spilled over into the business side of it. If you want work done, get work done. If you want a buddy to talk too, make friends with another shop that doesn't do your work. Because rarely will the 2 stay on good terms together. It's just human nature. When they can't get your car done you blame them, get angry, want stuff for free and all that. I find myself doing that with my brother and it's wrong. So I do my own work from now on. Plain and simple.

Believe me, I have nfc on some of this stuff. So I go out and learn it. Bought my car with Megasquirt and a run problem. Can't keep it running. NFC how to do Megsquirt. Stayed at my brothers place for a month and a half, they can't figure it out either.

So I get my laptop, cable and I learn. May take longer than just having someone fix it but I learned it, fixed it and if I get in too deep, I can always take it to a specialist. That's how you make your car faster and don't end up blowing a wad of money or stranded on the side of the road when something little breaks.

Though some people don't want to do it that way, all for them and that line of thinking. But doesn't change the fact that a shop is a shop. If you let one person (who doesn't even work on the cars) ruin your experience because of something they said on a forum or in a heated moment at an event, doom on you.

trust me, i'm with you 100%
that is the best way to go.

At time i lack the patience and time to do it though. If i had someone over my shoulder pushing me along though and showing me where i messed up i would love to learn how to do it.

Call it lazy, but thats just how it is

I am def smelling what you are stepping in there. Just getting me outside the house to even touch my car other than driving it takes a "Red" phone call to the Pentagon.

[yeahright]

bandwagon haters ftl. until people start posting personal experiences, this thread is worthless.
