You'll never stop it, cowboys just change there names phone numbers etc & start a fresh with no insurance, no tickets etc

 

It's sad when someone's been ripped off but that's just life

What would happen if arbs started herding cattle ...........?

 

bloodshed,

cows on all the motorways

boys bragging about how many heifers would fit in their tranny without looking overloaded

there would be endless discussion but no resolution about what to do with dead cows

but the saddles would be adorned with so much shiny kit

the horses would break their suspension regularly

The trouble is we only find out once someone's been ripped off when it's too late !! But I'd say 9 out of 10 customers are on the ball getting 2 or 3 quotes which surly gives us a chance ?

References references references. I always take atleast 2 references with contact details to do quotes and attach them to the final paper quote. Yeah ive still lost work to cowboys but all i think is if the customer isnt looking at the references then they arnt worth my time. Part an parcel of life always someone doing it cheaper who get the people who only go on cost. Your price is your price dont chase the under payers its not worth it. And when they knock on your door to get you to fix the cowboys work add 20%.
