Default Re: Mechanic on the go.

The biggest issue I see with the concept is that you can seldom "fix" the issue without down time for sourcing parts.

I was a packaging machine tech for years. Flew allover the country. Nine times out of ten, I made two trips. One to assess the issues and then to install the repairs. With all the retailers around I'm sure this would be to a minimum with e Crossfire but still, it could run into prohibitive expense.


I charged $550.00 per day plus expenses, making the minimum invoicing close to a grand plus parts. I never got rich at it and frankly the Customer got hosed. This might work for high end Exotics, but not so much for the Crossfire.


That said, it might be fun for you and enjoyable for a few members here who can afford the luxury of paying for your presence and time with their "baby." As for me, I would love to have you work on my "babies" but, I would have to pay you off with 50 cent coupons and Doggie treats from my packaging factory.
