Came here in early May to have my horse trailer looked at. Needed some welding done. Snake and his buds came over, looked at it for a long time, chatted, and Snake complained about the broken hinge for a while. It was a long pleasant conversation about the trailer. In the end he didn't provide a quote, said he charges $65/hr, and to get a needle scaler at it so he could get a better view of the steel on it.
Sounded like a plan. I went home, bought a needle scaler, protective wear, scaled the he'll out of it and got it perfectly ready for a good review of a quote.
Then on May 19th at about 10:45am I called back to bring it by. I let the gentleman know on the phone that I wanted to bring it by for a round 2 quote after removing rust on the frame. He said I could bring it by but that they were all leaving for lunch at 11:30am and that the man I talked to before is busy welding so I'd have to be there by 11:45. Before I got off the phone I asked him really quick if that shop bows and bends metal. I asked because every other welder I took the trailer to said they don't and it seemed to be an issue.
The guy on the phone immediately became incredibly rude and said with a very aggressive and louder tone, "Look, like I said before, the guy you talked to either isn't here or welding and you'll need to talk to him. So if you'd bring it by before 11:30 before lunch. I don't know what else to tell you." What's also weird is that I don't know this man on the phone nor does he know me and he has no idea who I was wanting to even meet or talk with
How about this? No. I won't bring it by and provide you my business. This isn't the only shop in Florida. When my husband called for the first review the man on the phone was super nice to him. Thanks for being a royal rude jerk for no reason. I don't need to be disrespected like that b/c I'm a woman asking Welding questions. read more
