I feel like if you run a business you should be proud of your work regardless of what you're charging

If its a nominal amount that just means material is cheap and time is short, but your quality of work should never wane, that should be a baseline

i kinda see both sides, on one hand you cant expect a perfect job unless they drop the exhaust, on the other hand the guy did say he would fix it and now he's ghosting him.

i dont know if i'd take it to the ends of the earth to put the guys on blast since it was only $80 and it was a half decent job from any normal visual distance, but i guess based on principle i'd be a bit annoyed.

The real lesson here is that you don't pay until work is complete and you've had a chance to inspect that it's done to your approval.

When I hire subcontractors for a project, you better believe they don't get their final payments until they've fixed all their deficiencies. Witholding money is the biggest motivator to getting shit completed.

Better check their limitations of liability and instill penalties too.

For 80 bucks I'm surprised there wasn't overspray all over the bumper and a quarter tank of gas missing when he got back.

If the dudes look sketch, their "shop" looks sketch, and it's cheap on top of that chances are it's going to be a shit job.

From the first post his goal was to "continue to post this on Reddit and other local car pages as much as i can. Screw these guys"

Good luck in having them do you any favours now.

And I'm sure he paid at time of vehicle pick up. That's the only way these small transactions work. Otherwise scammers would set up meets and make off with the money and your car. If he didn't like it say something then.
