Want to be a business owner? Prepare for ****s.

Someone let me know a business without risk because I want in...

People cancel appointments all the time and obviously the OP had a legit reason (not like... oh I gotta take my dog to get her nails done...), sure you can be mad but don't loss your cool because that's unprofessional.

So you are saying when we receive bad customer service anywhere we go we should just shut up and don't talk about it because that's whining?

I am loving this...

No wonder there are so any bad business out there.

I'm surprised there are so many people who don't mind being treated like garbage. I don't care how good the work is, if you're gonna treat me bad then you're not getting my business. There's always someone else who can do it just as well.

^^ Exactly!!

I don't treat people like garbage so don't treat me like garbage.

Simple as that.

yupe.....

btw, GSteg told me you went to Firestone for wheel alignment ? which Firestone did you go ? PM pls

VIPin626 : for clarification, I'm NOT whining here. Whining is when I know that place is bad, then I still go to that place, and I got bad treatment and i'm complaining....that's whining. I'm just sharing my unfortunate experience w/ West End, that's all

many of you guys here vouch for this guy and praise him...... but think about it guys, customer service is business ethics here. Dont give attitude to your customers.

Johnson's are good, but i have never been back since i got bad customer service from them even after being a good customer for 8 years. (2 times a year)

Customer service goes a long way and i wont take crap from anyone if they treat their customers with no respect.

After reading erryones response, this is what it comes down to. You can use another shop or call him back. He prob wasn't even mad at you, could have been mad about something else and you just called at the wrong time. I can't tell you how many times I indirectly gave attitude to peeps who didn't deserve it. So he's a business owner? He's still human too, right? If he's got the right skillz and the right price then there is no one else IMO. Alignments are skills and talents that all cannot do well. Who is anyone to judge the value of someones elses time? I can tell you that I certainly don't believe I'm getting what I deserve for my time. I would call back, just to see if that was the case and be chill.

Do you have any other shops that you would recommend? I'm looking for a place that can deal with performance alignments while keeping those 19" tires lasting for a while
