A part I don't miss about a shop.
Riddle me this. We installed a take-out engine for a customer. He bought the engine, we put it in. Engine was knocking from the go, we highly advised for him to not use this engine to begin with (oil pan was crushed, oil pickup/pump was cracked, vehicle had been in a collision).
He ended up taking the pos dsm back, bad mouthing us locally, having a 2nd shop write a bogus write-up saying we destroyed the engine because it was "running rich" (this is really funny as I have a fairly good tuning reputation and this shop that called us out only had a 5 gas analyzer).
He charged back on his card, we finally got out money back over a year later. THATS RIGHT! It will probably take you a solid year to recover the funds for the original transaction. THANK GOD we took pictures of the busted oil pump housing, dyno charts, signed work waivers, and copies of the parts receipts of the new oil pump we put on there.
Don't worry though, you can't charge for the time it will take, or the interest the credit card company makes on holding those funds..
