only way to go - people dont come to us because we are cheap - they come to us because we do the job correctly - and to do it correctly takes time - time =money

Ive seen steves work, he is a member on here and everyone from here seems to recommend him. he told me this morning all he seems to do is toranas and falcons.
on a side note he didn't recommend the dynamat, he said he can do it however if i would like to. whats everyone's opinions on this, anyone got dynamat and wish they didn't?

They would not earn that
your forgetting about business running costs

i got quoted 2600 to supply the interior including

retrimming the seats not just covers

i am assuming his price included his running costs

there always someone who can do it for less.. just how it goes.. just like you can get a paint job for 1k

 

$300 covers on ebay .. not the same as 1.5k covers

 

as much as people say black and blue that its same.. its not

 

 

people will pay what they can afford and same goes for everything in society

Of course.

Most people want shit done for nothing.
Finding customers that don't is like fishing in the desert. Lol

Don't under-estimate the cost involved with Dynamat (or equivalent). I have started doing my wife's EH with Stinger Roadkill. Will probably use 2 boxes worth, and they're over $200 per box. That's the easy part in buying it. The time consuming part (ie. Labour cost) is the installation.

I can't personally comment as to the end result as I'm yet to finish it, but I have heard several good reports (reduced road-noise, less drumming etc). Whilst others have commented they noticed bugger all difference. Jury's still out I guess.

I can fix $300 eBay covers........by throwing them in the bin. Fair enough if your restoring a ford fiesta but a Tory deserves better.

Material makes up a small fraction of the total cost, what your paying is labour and quality of install...

Tight arse always pays twice in the end.
