In other terms my statement was to encourage rather than rag a customers car even though we may not agree with his choice or taste.

And if proven power does'nt do it some other shop will that might not have the knowledge or care enough to advise against, poor decisions.

Then find that Proven Power did the work. I wouldn't let that exhaust manifold/turbo come to/through me. If it did the customer would be paying extra for me todo it right. As he should to Proven Power. Agree?

I dont know what it is with customers welding things on their cars and bringing it to us to fix

Every customer has a budget that they have in mind. If budget wasnt an option everyone would have a show/race car.

Now that being said, for us to "repair" those studs would take HOURS... Grinding, drilling, tapping etc. which for some is out of the budget...

So basically what was WAS a "good" idea in the past, now turns into a $150+ mistake.
