we have that same scam here... the kids make minuim wage and dont care what it looks like and its a $100 bill, for something you could have done in about an hour.... while drinking...

that highschool kid used to be me . I worked at a carwash/detail place all though highschool (3 years). Most of the guys wo did the detailing were making min. wage and had no experience... we didnt give a chit what it looked like, as long as the customer payed. When the boss is bichn to hurry up and get it done you cut corners..
We also beat the hell out of customer vehicles ... unless they were there watching. oh the storys i could tell... i could write a book on that place...

That is why I dont let anyone touch my truck unless its something i cant do like an alignment, even then, i watch them

Could never understand someone who was physically capable of doing something paying someone to do it...
100% agree . why waste money
