Because this has come up multiple times unfortunately: if we agree to services and I show up to you having done some of the work, other items will go up. I cut the rates when you book multiple services. I’m not out here trying to make a killing, I do this to save y’all money and have my own freedom. But this is still my livelihood.

Booking jobs starting May 1st. I’ll be in the area for about three weeks(depending on volume of work).

Much cheaper than a shop, and I come to you. Discount through Cascade German, references available, NO AUTO DMFS. No SUVs or 3L motors.
