depending on what you're getting done... tell them shit like its got fake rego, bad clutch, whatever to stop them laeving the shop... often i cant hang around to watch them myself, but i too always mark down km's, and when i ask why the km's have increased... its always "had to take for a test spin" to which i reply "when did i authorise that"... and thats usually when u get free shit or damn good discounts.
however i dont ever go back to those shops anymore. anyone who hassles you out of the shop doesnt deserve to look after your car.
I used to work as a car audio fitter, and would often get people wanting to hang around in the workshop and ogle - or "inspect" as they would say - at what im doing to their car. Unfortunately we had no isurance to cover them in the workshop and they would usually always want to touch shit and end up breaking stuff. I understand how people feel about their pride and joy, hence why i would ask them to watch from outside the workshop and to please not disturb my work, so that i can comlpete a professional job quickly and correctly. I would also explain that by them watching it would often disturb me and i ake me nervous... which it did.
Too often we got d!cks who just keep asking.. what are u doing man??? .. DONT DO THAT!! etc etc,... without any knowledge of what i am really doing...
that said i have total respect for people working on my car, and i watch from a distance after asking if its ok. Some guys are so nice as to show you how they are doing what they're doing and involve you.... techies out there - take a page from these guys' books!
