That’s for sure. Had a guy call one day and ask about rebuilding his V-12 Jaguar Engine so I gave him an ESTIMATE between $xxxx.xx and $xxxxx.xx and he said that he would let Me know. A few weeks later I have a Wrecker pull up to the Shop and the Owner was behind it. As it’s being unloaded the guy starts telling Me how complicated the engine is. I said yes they are. Then he says some stuff is in the trunk and the rest is in the backseat !!! I looked at him and asked if he took it apart ? He said yes. I told him that it was going to cost WAY MORE !!! He says but You gave me a “Quote” !!! I said No Sir I gave you an ESTIMATE. Long story short the Wrecker Driver didn’t leave the Vehicle with me.
