Mando,
Usually the customer will call you in which case you can offer two week time
frame until you get to their
set. This may defer them to another shop.
I've only been ASC for almost two months and in that time, the one rental
company has kept me pretty busy
with RCA sets as well as one Ho-Jo's I went to and they had ten sets sitting
that needed repaired.
There are ways to defer customers if you are getting too much work.

Don't mean to interfere here but my business insurance is running at $1900 per
yr.Has a 2mil coverage for
liability among fire and other coverages.Thats besides my mortgage
payment.Thats why I don't want to have
to
buy too much more test equipment.I know that this is going to sound kind of
poorish to the dealer but I
might
just have him talk to the rca rep and see if we can't get away with just what I
have now.I don't mind the
$300. for the service lit.Also,another question is? If I do become the rca
sc,will I also be required to
do
the wally-world sets too or do they ship them out for repairs?I don't want to
get over my head on this
matter.I like $$$$ but I also want to keep my health.Thanks for all the
proffesional feedback that I have
received.

PS RCA also wants pictures of my work area,pix of my test equipment,and store
front.
Also, the sitting area for customers.I wonder if they are confusing my shop
with a burger king being that
they
also want a sitting area.
