    You Know What`s Nice???

    I did two cars over the weekend, one brand new customer...08...550i BMW...totally trashed on the outside, inside was OK...I don`t take pics that much...anywho both cars that I did, I got tipped for my work.

    The BMW is a doctor that my wife works for, has two more cars for me to do...tipped me $50 on top of the $250 I charged...needless to say I was floored!!!

    The MB steady guy tipped me an extra $20 on the $120 job for buffing the outside up


    Its nice once in a while to seem more appreciated for this work, rather than the car wash guy in the driveway!

    I have got tipped on my last detail from a new customer (50.00) and that was the first time anyone had done that to me. It made my day.

    That is cool, it is nice when people show you that they really do appreciate what you do.
    One day one day I will get a paying customer lol.

    Its a great feeling when people appreciate the work you do. I just love when someone can`t stop staring at their car in amazement.
    I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

    As a paying customer, I`ve done that!
    I think it amused my detail guy too!
    When I first bought my car it was so unbelievably filthy I called it "my allergy car" and he cleaned it up so well that the interior was a totally different shade of tan.
    I was floored and couldn`t stop staring at it.
    I probably looked something like this:

    Needless to say, he also got a nice tip!

    Beemerboy-- I`m glad your customers also acknowledged your hard work!

    Keep up the good work!
