      It's hard to do work for customers and charge them money. If I'm fixing my own car, I can cut corners. I can use ebay parts. I can plan to change my brakes next week, and I maybe I can push a serpentine belt to it's absolute limit.
      That all changes when I fix your car, truck, or air condition system. I know you'll be pissed off if you have to make a return visit. By your second, or third visit you'll tell your friend my shop sucks and this car you own is a pos.
      This is often tines why the cost increases. I have to over fix your car to make sure you won't need to make the return visit.
      I would have sold this guy an engine, or an engine rebuild. It sounded like he had money These folks live in this van, so downtime is the issue as much, or maybe even more than money.

May other businesses would fudge around the subject, or downright lie to the customer and just give excuses as to why they couldn't do the job in the time promised. Part availability and suchlike. You on the other hand not only admitted you had made an error in estimating you could get the work done for them with regard to other shop commitments and boy 140+ cars is a lot of prior commitment. But you suggested alternatives to the customer one of which they took. You have one of the very best customer services I've ever come across. More power to Dave's auto's elbow!

    50% of the job is hand holding/customer service. You can fix a problem in 10 minutes and not communicate to the customer, and they will feel like they didn't get the service they deserve. On the other hand, you can work hard on an issue and not solve it straight away but keep the customer informed and included in the work that you're doing, and they'll feel like a million bucks even though it will cost them. It's not always the technical aspect of the job, it's how the customer perceives they have been treated. Great job as always, keep up the good work. Unplanned work is the antithesis of a well-run shop. You turned unplanned work into a planned event, something that is very difficult to do and maintain.

    I could never be a service writer because situations like this would make me incredibly stressed. Kudos to the team at Dave’s for handling it so professionally, and shoutout to the amazing couple for being so understanding. I lived in Arizona for a few years and I miss that beautiful state everyday.

      It is a sprinter but when they first went to America they probably teamed up with dodge to get into the American market

    The first couple minutes I felt for the tech, he seemed to not want a TH-cam video lead by Dave, then Dave showed what leadership looked like by listening to the folks he put in place to do their job and ultimately the whole shop looked like a winner. That decentralized command is key to keeping people and keeping your sanity

    I own a 2000 year model Mercedes Sprinter here in Australia 🇦🇺 . People tend to forget thede 5 cylinder engines are really a 30 year old design and done keep up with modern traffic . If you warm the engine up for 3 or 4 minutes before you set off , drive gently , ie cruise at 55 - 60 mph and let the tirbo spool down at journeys end before turning the engine off . Regular oil changes at 5,000 miles with a semi synthetic and you will have reliability .
    In Africa and the Middle East , these vans are very popular and capable of in excess of half a million miles or more .
