Tex Star Detail
Formerly TexasTB
Booked an appointment earlier this week for a dark blue Nissan Quest. Went to go look at it, and of course....couldn't find the place. New subdvision...lucky me. So I finally find it and she is getting ready to leave....I was late....Blah
I quoted full detail for around $175ish and she bit.
She has 3 kids, all in car seats. Pretty dirty inside, but I enjoy doing the insides of vehicles, so it wasn;t a problem for me. I thought I told her that I do not take car seats out....
Went out this morning to do it....7 AM to beat some of the heat. The interior took me a little longer than I thought. Did the inside, not really a problem. Had a few issues here and there but it got done. Wasn't the best, but is was damn near 95% perfect. The outside got me. I don't know what happend. It all went SOUTH from that point. I started with SSR 2.5, and I got friggen dust everywhere. Looked like a damn snow storm. I was getting upset with the dusting and the results. I was able to keep the dust under a little bit of control by spraying the panel with a little QD first. I ended up washing the damn thing 2 times to get all the dust out, and it wasn't all gone.
Then her battery went dead, dead, dead..... I jumped it off, let it run, shut it off, and tried to restart. NOTHING. Called my wife, had he pick up a new battery and bring it to me. My wife got there with it, and the lady said it was not the same as the one she has now....Duralast Gold. I was going to put it in for NOTHING and eat the cost.....just to be a nice guy. Now I have a new battery on my trailer.....Hope I can return it Monday.
Then she starts nit friggin picking. She asked if I got under the carseats with a vac. Before I could say anything, she was taking them out. Then she said she does not appreciate me lying to her...blah blah blah. So I apologized. Then there was this, then that, then this.......
I finally gave up. It was half assed on the outside. Tar still on the rockers in some spots, rear hatch wasn't dressed, front winshield had water spots, dust in the friggen jambs.....
I told her not to worry about paying the bill...It was on me....An 8 hour fu,,,ing freebie.
She got defensive and asked why shouldn't she pay. She said she was upset about the carseats, and I lyed.....No I didn't, but i took the fall. Then her battery went dead again...... I let it run for a while to see if it would charge up...nope. She said she was going to take the battery and get a new one...guess it was under warranty still???????
Then she said I used up her gas.......The day needed to end. So I had to drive 20 minutes into town, buy a gas can, fill it up, and truck back to her place.
She asked how much she owed, and I said don't worry about it again, but she insisted, so I got 210
I ended up giving her 4 free car washes just for the hell of it....
After that she was SO PLEASED with the vehicle.:boot
Only got these shots of the inside...I was too pissed off to do anything at all. Let alone take more pics of this thing......
All in all, today was a day I wanted to say F it and go work at McDonalds...
But on a good note....I booked more appt's today............:howdy
Oxy was my friend today......
