I think things will evolve where the customer will be asked to come by 
and "front" the parts  part of the invoice before ordering. But now 
along with the deposit and final bill this repair will require three 
checks! Have to either figure a flat labor in advance or something. 
Gotta front these parts.Even with an open acct what if customer defaults 
and you're stuck with a DLP now must be sold within the 30 days net to 
reimburse the parts invoice.
