Takes about five hours, so 9:30 being the earliest and 3:30PM being the latest I can start. I have a slot open on Saturday too. I'm trying to get my regiment in order this weekend, so I can be efficient when I work for teh monies. |

I'm definitely interested in this, as well. I just picked up my car this week via PCD...outstanding experience (the details of which I hope to write up soon).
Is there a recommended length of time that one should wait before zaino-ing a brand new car? |

I need recovery/study time, since I still go to school on Monday, hence no extra regular slots on Sunday. If Sunday's the only day you can make an appointment, I'll see what I can do, but school's still my priority. If I missed anything, or you guys have any suggestions, please feel free to tune in. Thanks. Last edited by shimshimhada; 07-16-2006 at 02:35 PM.. |

Shim, looking good I approve the menu structure...
I would like to reserve the first time slot for the July 29 session. Do you need a deposit? Will you provide on-site consultation to what exact treatment I would require? When is AJ getting his zaino job, I would like to go see/support/help out. Hey if this whole thing rolls out you can hire variable temporary labor to help you out.

If my car is here by the 28th-30th, then I may take you up on this that weekend.
... I should add that it's getting less and less likely I'll have the car by then, though. More likely early August.

Shim, make sure my client, AJ, gets the full run of your zaino menu...capiche
We'll help you out, its probably a good idea so you'd know what is involved with each offering.
