I had a customers car here for a couple days to diagnose a strange noise coming from the fresh air fan. I painted part of the car about three months back and even though I didn't see any connection to the work I did I didn't charge him for the time I had into removing and inspecting the fresh air system. I had originally suspected that some debris had gotten into the system while I had the car. Which turned out to be NOT the case. When the customer came in to pick up his car he sat down and immediately turned on his radio. Nothing..... no tunes no sound of any kind. Well as might be expected he's pissed and insists that I had done something to wreck his prized audiovox and that I would have to replace it. Going into damage control mode I agree to replace it under protest.
The radio is replaced and I call this guys house to let him know its ready to be picked up. His wife answerers the phone and the conversation goes like this.
I. Let Jim know his car is ready to be picked up.
Her: Oh OK what did he have you do to it?
I. I replaced the radio.
Her: Well it's about time. He installed an alarm after you painted it and the radio hasn't worked since.
