About Connie, she does know what she's doing. She just does things different. but she gets the job done right. She was picky as hell, I know. She never really got too crazy on buffing which I hear she is doing now. She also is a very good business women.

About SLD which is where I work now. We also do an exellent job. Kevins 3 stage buff is superior and he also nows what he's doing and is very picky too. I'd say we do some things differently but we get the job done.

So I guess what I meant to say is this. Every shop has their own way of doing things. It's doesn't matter how they do it as long as the customer is happy. That's what people go in to business to do. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG???????????!!!!!!!!

so, compare and contrast. you dont gotta be so ignorant just because connies been doin it for 26 years or whatever. it's not the hardest skill occupation wise so stop actin like its some sorta challenge or whatever.

Unless you didn't see the pics that Kevin posted, you forgot about mine (http://www.fargostreet.com/showthread.php?t=5014) and those who dont know mine is the blue one. I will NEVER take my car elsewhere. NEVER. He did such an excellent job, Id like to see someone compare to his....especially the price. I felt that I cheated him out after he did my car. And as for the Lexus IS, that is gonna shine like hell better than mine turned out afterwords.....WOW, Im excited to see it and I really wanna bring mine in later this summer. Kevin, I got your back.

experience of 26 years doesnt matter since 99% of the cars most of the shops do are newer that 1995.. The paint changed along the way and so has alot of the interiors. There are new way's of Buffing/Polishing/Micro-polishing..New ways of shampoo'n/Steam cleaning.. I know everything and anything there is to know about Auto recon..

I Have seen many other places work and know what they charge.. and for some place's thats why they went out of business (harolds)

Please tell me what harolds, hutton, proficient, Corwins, Ad&A Charge for something comparable to a 3-Step heavy cut , Polish swirls, and micro polish holograms, Sealant, Wax..
I think harolds called it a MING?? and that cost 200+

I Will not bad mouth any Auto Detailing shop... But I know Im the BEST Around !!!
Just wait you will see Nicks Lexus Is300 Spotless and Swirless We can compare it at a Hot Imports!!!

Kevin, Connie charges about 100-175 for a 3 stage buff(not quite sure so dont quote me) and a "MING" is a joke, i told you that myself. She also offers a new product that she ordered from i believe chicago, which is a "paint sealent" and i think its the same pricing not quite sure though. Also she has done older vehicles than 1995.

Oh, and Freitag, you need to come back up here to Grand Forks and dick around like last time, once the 240 gets done. Maybe the next time there won't be ice all over the fucking road.

You have very good work i have never said different. Yes i have compared both of their work and they are both really good,but you have to look at it in a buisness perspective, would you want to go to a guy that has been in town for 5-6 years(not relating to kevin) to work on your car? or to someone that has been doing it for 20-30 years? Thats my take on it. But as we all know when someone states an opinion he is always rong on here,i stated what my opinion was, it was not disrespect. Someone was talking down on my closes friends buisness and i dont appreciate it would you? Let me clear it up one more time, i appreciate kevins work i like kevins work, i have seen kevins work. Connie and Kevin are the best in town, they are the UNTOUCHABLES. So is that such a bad opinion now?
lol.

but atleast you avoided kevins questions

Just becuase you've been in the game a long ass time, doesn't mean your the best in any area. Here, let me put it in your terms: Is vanilla ice the best rapper becuase he's been in the game longer then alot of the new rappers?

50 times better... right...

I'm sure your clown act isn't appreciated by other people on here either, so why don't you start by showing some respect for your peers before you go opening your mouth again.

Have you even compared the two people's work before or are you just saying this shit cause

1. you work for her
2. she's your friend

but honestly, this thread was not started by kevin, it had nothing to do with SLD in the first place, it wasn't a comparision, and he's been mature in the way he's handeled the mockery; get a clue and get your mind right and start acting like your not in highschool...
