Sort of petty, but sometimes it has been a very good indicator of the professional or serious nature of the business. Other times, it just arose from a frugal business owner who is trying out FrontPage to save several hard earned dollars and better the bottom line for his or her family. I definitely respect that...

Certainly no offense was meant toward the business, other than to offer what I saw as a possible "red flag" for me personally. I certainly hope they acquired that collection of turbo parts because they are good and busy selling and rebuilding turbos not just receiving/buying other shops' cores!
I understand what your saying. It irritates me as well but I don't let it bother me to the point that I would rule them out as a possible vendor. On a side note the label on the side of a box of ARP head studs say "98.5-02 cumming".

Anybody that's seen under the hood of my truck can vouch for the fact that I'm too lazy to polish anything.

I have a bog monster to donate to his collection.

If all ells fails with the business he can at least make some interesting wind chimes.
