Yeah, we're paying them. My father does work for him and we let him pay with credit instead of cash, but I know for a fact that he will be working for cash this time because we have no credit built up right now. How long should a job like this take? Steve, I see your point. I'm seriously into car audio and when I have a big install planned I can't wait to get started, and I would expect the same attitdue from a mechanic, but I must realize it is a job, not a hobby. I don't want to be a jerk about it, but I do want my car fixed as soon as possible.
