People call up and want an instant estimate over the phone then they come in a month later and expect it to be exact. Well guess what, its an estimate. I don't have the exact prices of every part and labor job filed away in my brain. Anyway, what I've learned is that some customers really arn't worth it. Sure we should kiss but to the good customers and maybe even a little to the bad ones but if they are gunna be a-holes there comes a time when customer service goes out the window and you treat them how they deserve to be treated. I learned that from my ole man. Heck thats one of the benefits of owning a business. People that work for big corporations have to kiss but no matter what and get walked on all day long- we don't. I don't know about in contracting but in auto repair, some customers suck you dry, waste all your time and just simply are not worth it. I deal with the same stuff in car repair.

It's entirely conveivable that they've had a bad experience before and that's why they wanted a written signed quote. A friend of mine had to pay 3x what he was quoted in a similar situation. That being said, that you informed them of the mistake BEFORE the work was done and obviously weren't trying to rip them off should have been enough for them to accept a second quote. They were jerks about it.

We played smells like teen spirit with his dad on rhythm putting a Skynyrd type spin on it and my friend putting a heavy metal spin on it. That was the wierdest thing I think Ive ever heard.
