Do You Tip the Audio Installer?
Excuse the dumb question. (Tried this on Audio, and no takers.)
I'm having a free head unit installation done at Best Buy today. Should I tip the installer, and if yes, how much, and should I tip before the installation? It's a low end Pioneer, but I want a decent job done. Besides heat shrinking and (maybe) soldering wires, is there anything else I should ask to have done? |

Doesn't hurt. My wife brings cookies for the techs. She gets real good service.

I always had the work done by the supervisor, because he wouldn't let any of the other lackies touch a Mercedes. And, he wouldn't take a tip.

I always tip the installer. I buy him a few beers, but I also drink them all.
I wouldn't let even the supervisor at Best Buy get within ten feet of my car. |

I do some of my own car work, but I basically spend all my "free time" coaching kids (for free). Baseball, basketball, soccer....
This weekend I'll be out fixing up our ballfield so they kids have a nice safe place to play. If Best Buy wants to install my head unit for free, I'll let them. If it saves me an hour or 2, I can use the time. So cut me some slack and give me a helpful answer. Thanks (and remember, don't bust your kid's coach's chops.) |

Here's a helpful answer. While it might not happen, you won't be pleased if the installer breaks something in your dash. Sometimes free just isn't worth it.
