yup, never had that happen.Very strange.. at a minimum, you would think they would have mentioned this before having you bring it over there..
But no, no mechanic has ever charged me up front. Not even for parts..
Nice, so you are saying Mike must look like a bum that can't pay.My family Has a Repair shop/Tire store. We usually only ask for Payment up front if it's a special order item, or we think the person will not pay.
I can deff see that. Plus ALOT of atv's are stolen so this is a way of making sure they are paid even if it turns up stolen and the police impound it. Also getting a shop Lien is expensive and a pain. Did they ask for all the money up front? if so that's odd, but if they asked for partial payment or part money I'd say that's normal.they said because its an atv that they typically get money upfront because people tend to not show up again but the thing is the atv is worth way more than the work being done.
