Weird encounter with (I would say fellow tech)

Post by Roo »

but I guess it's officially competition to him. So, I was driving down the road today and saw a mini van with vinyl decals with "chip repair' on a side street getting ready to pull out. He pulls out and when I get up to the next light he pulls to the right side of me and as he drives by he spits(a big hawker) on my pass. side window. :o Now that's professional there Mr. Chip Medic out of Longmont, CO. I don't even know you man? What did I do to you to deserve that? You have no class at all. How do you know I wouldn't have called you at some point and referred business to you if I was out of town or too busy to get to a customer that needed immediate service. You can bet your sweet chips I won't be calling you now!

By the way I thought long and hard whether I should post this or not and after thinking about it I decided why wouldn't I? I did nothing wrong, I don't even know you so you did this to yourself.

Here are some pics when I stopped to get gas on the way home.

Roo: we have a fantastic business and many wonderfull people in our trade. However, there are a few idiots in our trade, you have just came to know one. Some people cannot stand any proper and fair open market principles. This is a free world and competition (new blood) is refreshing. Perform your work in a professional fashion and treat people with respect and people will return and promote your business.

With both vehicles being signwritten, chances are that the other people out there withnessed this and figured out that this man must be acting pathetic. It just makes no sence at all to be like that eh? He just behaved like a foolish clown and that is just his problem.

By the way: your vehicle is nicely completed now because first there was white and blue, the circle makes red-white-blue and completed the picture.
Very patriotic, well done :D

Roo!

This really speaks loud volumes to me as undoubtly he has some bolts missing upstairs.
It reminds me of a competitor of mine here in my area.

He has told people he bought me out and uses that to gain my "exsisting" and some "New" poential customers.
Now imagine doing business with someone for so long and all of a sudden a "New" face arrives and say I am here to take care of your car.
When they ask who are you and find out theres a new owner.....

Yeah! never had anyone hawk a loogie on my vehicle but again..

Vengence is my saith the lord!

I Love 4 Wheel Driving! and your in the Rockies? Literally

There is no edit option in this forum.

I only went on 3 trail runs last year. One of those was a volunteer trail cleanup run in the mountains. I hope to do a few more runs this summer and a couple of trail cleanup runs as well! It's pretty sad how much trash is left behind in our beautiful mountains.

Not nearly as strange but still weird . An area that i service has several large fleet storage lots all next to each other . Yesterday i got a call from a glass installer who works in one of the storage lots saying that his companies employees often watch us do repairs through binoculars. Sounds strange to me.
