Just like anything else, it's all relative...

Now, back to your actual quote (Sorry, I think I quoted the wrong person lol) most shop owners could go on for days about the various cars they have had towed in that the owners "Buddy" did in his driveway or some guy did "After hours" in his garage or his friends cousins sisters boyfriend did for pizza and beer. There are many talented people out there and there are many that are not I have seen some things done that get towed in here to "Correct" that you just have to stop and wonder what part of that sounded like a good idea at the time

The sad thing is the owner typically ends up paying double what it would have been had they done it here in the first place. The nice thing (For the shop) is that they are almost always customers for life

This is so true. I can't tell you how many times Darin has had customers call him after porting their own heads, wanting him to fix them because they thought it would be easy to do the porting themselves. And it costs them way more than if they would have had him do it in the first place.
