Warranty tuning

[Will Wickham]

I also agree. It was an excellent way to build a substantial customer 
base. Eventually the store realized that I was helping them 
substantially as well and now I get full price for in home warrantee 
tunings and about 2/3 my full rate for in store tunings. Nice work when 
you get it!
