Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Just think if you could morph Dennis and Allan together. Damn then things would get done. Guess that would be $80 per/hr.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

I hope I'm not taking this the wrong way ?????????

I have never ask Alan to give me a refund.....Never said a word about anything...... He offered to refund the money on the bed I bought from him, that we both thought was a lot straighter than it was.
Thanks Alan.

I would never ask for a refund on anything, unless it was crap work and probably wouldn't say anything about it anyway.....You know, it is what it is

I'm not in the habit of taking advantage of people.

Just say this time once you start it there's no refund on labor no matter what you find.

But some times the customer takes advantage of YOU.

You took it the wrong way. I was just updating the build. People would be confussed to see me working on a step side then all of the sudden working on a fleet. I believe I mentioned that I offered the money back on the bed. You had nothing to do with my decision. I felt bad cause it wasn't in as good a shape as I had thought.

No one implied you were taking advantage of me. We were just talking in general. Now back to business. Were you able to get the fleet bed today?

Yes what Allan said. It was meant in general. None of that applied to you. You seem like a good guy too. Like everybody else on this forum.

They way I read it is that Alan was doing the right thing since he sold you the bed (from what I gather) And the way he worded it seemed to be saying just that. He sold you something that you both thought was good and turned out not to be in the shape at first thought so he offered to credit back the amount paid. No problems there. I think Dennis' statement was more in the line of since you are bringing a bed from another source and unknown condition (never really know until you start working on it) that should the new bed turn out bad, Alan shouldn't offer a refund on his work just to be a good guy. I don't think it sounded bad on anybodies part. So don't sweat it.

Allan sent me a PM asking me what I thought. I shouldn't have gotten all of you involved and have answered him with a PM. Now you guys know what we go through. The good guys want to keep the customer happy so we don't get a bad name, and get repeat business.

It didn't sound bad, it was completely understandable. But I do see how it could have been taken out of context. No problems.

With BYOB I am sure you are referring to Bring-Your-Own-Bigblock or Bring-Your-Own-Bigwindow right ;-)
