So pretty much the TR community is looking for a "cheaper" price if you want our business. Service or Retail price, choose where you want to cut down.
This thread was meant for a business demographic. Meaning if there are shops in Tampa that cater to everything you may need. Such as a speed shop where you can get your fittings, or special parts from. Or just a general automotive shop not afraid to install your Ebay parts your afraid to install on your own car.
Any shop opening the doors for the first time would try to undercut every shop out there to sway the business. But at the same time most of you do not realize the difference between Johnny's backyard prices, and shop required fees.
Another thing, you get what you pay for. How many shops on here get bashed because a kid drops his car off at a shop, and they do the work asked for, but do not wipe a fingerprint off a fender... Next thing you know the kid is on TR posting about the worst experience they received at that shop.
