I have no problem charging double (and sometimes more) to repair your mistakes. Just because you or your friend hacked a radio into a 94 Civic or you're a mechanic/electrician/MIT professor (my personal favorite
) doesn't make you qualified to install anything related to car electronics.
Oh and BTW, after the MIT professor left insisting he could install his radio in his 97 Cavalier(
) I happily charged him to install it 6 hours later after he couldn't figure out how to take his dash apart.
LOL, the late model cavi has given me more to laugh at with the customers who think they can or some girls boyfriend who is too proud to let anyone work on her car and after he breaks the dash and cuts the harness off , they wonder why we charged them $200 for an install that should have cost them $47 at most...
I am glad that I was not the only one completely amazed at the questions some people ask about the electronic issues with their cars... nice post, it makes me feel like less of a dick knowing I am not the only one who laughs at most of the posts about electronics.
