Unfortunately there are a lot of cowboys in the motortrade and in the construction trade.

All of them talk as if they are masters of their trade and some actually believe it.

I have been more badly burnt by conmen in the construction trade than in the motortrade. There are good craftsmen out there, but I don't believe they are the majority. Let us also bear in mind two points:

1) The cost of labour is about 3 to 4 times the cost of materials in construction work. How many customers are willing to pay for the extra time for a much better job?

2) Bad workmanship is usually apparent but how many customers understand the difference between good and mediocre workmanship?
