i am begining to hate machinist(rant)

[dohcfiend]

talked to the machinist at the shop, went over everythign i wanted in detail. and we came to a quote of $638 for labor. this isn't counting all the parts i am buying.

anyway we agree, i drop everything off, then i get a message to talk to him. i call his ass this morning somehow the price is now 880 or more. all he said was his rates went up.


i am pretty sure this a common tactic among machinist(you dirty bastards) give a good quote, get the everything dropped off and raise the price.

i called a different shop and the quote is $425-750 tops they say so i will see. so tomorrow i have to organize removing all those fucking parts i dropped off and take them to another machinist.

WISH ME LUCK

p.s. i have found 1 good machinist but they don't do automotive engine stuff .

That's B.S. once it's quoted, the price should remain that, unless something unforseen comes up, but rates changing is a poor excuse at best.

LOL what a shit head. The shop here is great and they never over charge. They have been around since the begining of time.

Tell that mother fucker to go eat shit. What's the point of having a quote if they don't stick to it.
