Am I sensing a void in the marketplace for this service?

Am I sensing a void in the marketplace for this service? There is but at the same time, it’s not an easy service to provide. Parts are hard to get and labor to do it right isn’t cheap. There is a much bigger market to build 911 engines and the owners tend to have deeper pockets. It’s very similar to restoring a chassis. Metalwork and paint all cost the same for materials and labor but easier to justify on a $200k car (911) vs 50k (914). Eric at PMB is putting out some top level cars both four and six. I would ask him about his engine services. |

The guy is one of the nicest people I know....yet over the internet someone...also unamed posts a complaint about a favor he was doing....the OP thought of it as a service and a busness. It's about the relationship.....nothing more. Who wants to deal with BS like that? NOT me. Eric has had a fair share of that BS including all the employee problems....ect ....ect. He does great work but more....a human being and great guy. |
