[Shotimes] Mike's wreck pictures are up

[John Phillis]

I am an Autobody Technician...

you have to keep in mind that I am 20 minutes outside of Pittsburgh, PA, and 
around here, prices are a lot higher than they are where you are at I am 
sure.
the $6K includes all parts based on teh computer locator adn not on "best 
offer" used parts.

Also, anyone who paints and entire car for $750 must not be very good at, as 
that sounds like a step above earl shieb.
regardless, I am not knocking...
I am just saying, you get what you pay for.

PS: local EArl Shieb and Maaco are charging $329 on their 1/2 price 
ambassador paint service.  last I checked you could still get ambassador 
service around Stuebenville Ohio for $229 on half price sale.
so, $200 cheaper just by driving 30 miles and crossing a couple boarders

btw, $329 * 2 = $658...   $92 less than what you are saying...

doesn't sound like a guy I would wnat painting my car.

$6000 ????

Man, who do you use?

I can get a full clip installed for $1,000 labor, $750 for paint (the whole
car), and $500 for the clip.
