I learned the verbal contracts, I drive the car wherever they give a written quote. A few times I agreed with the workshop the price before the repair, but I immediately made a reservation that if the costs increased, he would inform me.
Usually it was so that I made an appointment, for example, for PLN 500 in the afternoon, I come back for the car and the payment is PLN 800, and once even almost 100% more than was agreed. Although these prices, fixed before the repair, were the maximum they could be.
People are abnormal. I am asking, where is the price coming from? Because it was still necessary to replace this, that and that. Why didn't you call me to inform me, I might not have that kind of money? There was no time. Well, I replied that I also didn't have time to earn him twice as much as he demanded at the outset and good bye! I paid what was agreed.
From that moment on, no more dating. I am asking for a quote, if something comes out in the process, the phone is necessary, otherwise I will not pay more. And I will say it works.

Boy, that 750 grams will be expensive and he wants to load only 300 grams. Translations that it will do nothing and instead of cooling it will heat it does not work. In the end I got pissed ... I pissed me off and chased him away.
Do you also come across such idiots?
Why idiots right away. It could have been done otherwise. Fill him with these 300 grams and write it down on the protocol that the factor was supplemented according to arrangements of the customer in such a quantity at his express request.
Get paid for the work and for the factor and that's it. For labor, you would get the same amount as you get for filling it to 100%, while for gas you would charge a little less. I don't see any problem with being ambitious about such crap.
As for the first time in 13 years, I went to replenish the air conditioning factor (it cooled but rather poorly), it was missing more than half. However, the air conditioner worked.
So it would probably work poorly for him too. However, that would be his problem.
