i was told, 75 dollars and hour, and "oh itll take no more than 5 hours"

he wrote out "5 hours labor and 131.72 in parts" on the original contract
and he changed it on me, BUT, its ok,
cuz now ill be getting work done for free because my buddy is gonna talk to them

I agree this will not end well. They will sit on your car for weeks while you want it back and nothing will get done.

Please don't posder coat your supercharger. You don't need the insulation to hurt your performance. Please don't chrome it either. Same issue.
