Most of them over promise and then they also will take care of their regular/repeat customers ahead of new customers Not so much in the oerf boating world, but very much so in the Perf Auto world...many of these guys get to build one dream engine for their car/truck. Engine builders aren't just in the job of building engines. They're in the business of making dreams come true. |

I feel you Smitty, going on 62 and I have noticed that in the last several years the gravity has increased here in N. Georgia as everything has gotten heavier and heavier, surely cant be me as I am as young as ever. unfortunately it seems harder to find young guys who actually want to work and learn.
Machine Shops are not an easy business to sell. The owner/operator is typically the lynch pin. Not just in knowledge but in process. |

Thanks for all the input everyone. Like someone stated, I do sometimes feel as if we’re getting bumped for the higher paying re-peat customers. Makes it hard to want to become a repeat customer with being a full year overdue and still not even seeing a complete engine.

Smitty, I’ve seen, and read through a lot of your posts throughout the years….your location of frankenmuth always caught my attention, we’ve been going to frankenmuth autofest for the last 20years, and I usually crash there 1-2 times a year when traveling between Detroit and the UP
