Default Tired of getting over charged...

I and a buddy started up a business out in Gurnee Ill. (About 10 mins from Six Flags Great America) Were looking to expand other than the couple of locals we help out. We do professional... Detailing, stereo installs, and painting, along with other services (oil changes, header installs, etc...)!

Those who are interested about anything we offer just PM me or E-mail me at mooley@comcast.net and let me know what you want done, when your looking to have it done, etc. If it isnt listed above and you arent sure if we do it or not... Just ask, and I should get back to you within 24hours.

I will be posting a flyer that we will be going around handing out to promote us.

The reason we are doing this... My buddy and I are sooooo sick of decent stereo installs costing people 200-300 bucks from circuit city, and detailing places charging 300 bucks for a full detail including buffing and stuff. Painting stuff like the berger panel and hoods, costing hundreds of dollars.

We dont shortcut on the quality or the time put into it. We have access to about any tools you could possibly think of. We have a welder under our belts who has been doing this art for well over 25 years. We are out here to help people and show that quality work can be done without charging TONS of money!

So once again, Thanks for the time reading this and if you are interested in anything we offer or want us to offer anything, just let me know.

Thanks again,
John

Hey it's Chad, I didn't know you painted as well. Can you send me a PM with a ballpark idea on what you'd charge to paint the VFN Sunco hood. I know it won't be exact by any means but I'd like to get an idea. I currently have a friend of a friend do all my paint work but I'd like to see what you have to offer.
Also what kind of prices are we looking at to install a car alarm?
