The One Where Daz Reveals The Untold Truth About Classic Car Metalwork Quotations

Daz, our panel beater extraordinaire, talks about metalwork quotations in our latest episode. Meeting client expectations in terms of metalwork quality is easy for the big man with his decades of experience on the tools. Meeting client expectations in terms of cost for Cip is sometimes a bit of a nightmare as we, as a company, are trying to give our beloved classic cars a fair chance without cutting any corners as others do!
Let's be fair, it's never been easy to quote accurately as classic cars are all different and metalwork exact quotes have always been a tricky one, always ending up in extra hours to achieve the desired result.
Quoting for metalwork without taking the paint off is suicidal as a company, fixed quotations are also a bit of a nightmare at times as there's always unexpected rust in places!

My friend/mentor in auto restoration used to tell perspective customers "I am slow and expensive but the work is done right. If you're going to come over to complain about how long or how much, be sure to bring a trailer."
