This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Did you and customer agree on the need and actually start the work immediately ? Were you able to give her an idea how much job would cost ? In my experience, most people are not that quick to agree to a job which would come to much more money than a tuning, on the first visit . Though it has happened to me , also, but a normal tuning turning into a $ 2 or $ 300.00 job, is not the usual occurance. Maybe I'm not that good a sales person. Just curious.
