Ever get taken advantage of by a "service' org.?
Lenny Bruce wanted to write a book of phrases that you could use when
getting
an estimate on some repairs, like a stereo or your car.
Like if the stereo went out, you could use a phrase from the book ,
Well, I don't
have time to fix this stereo because I'm busy putting in a Microwave
tower on the hill.
and the "Car Talk Guys" always warn you against getting your car fixed
when the mechanic's boat payments are due.
Really, sometimes you just are at the mercy of these petty criminals.
My advice , getting an estimate or two.three? Or deal with a friend's
reccomendations
and Good Luck !

If you are, youre doing it wrong.

bad idea - always get quotes.

many such recommendations come from one or few purchases, sometimes
from sellers with a very high incidence of complaints.
This is all very basic stuff that shoild be taught in schools.
