yeah the way sears techs get paid from their labor i can see why a tech would get mad about not putting the install charge on there. they get a percentage/fixed amount (depending on job) of each job they sign their tech number to in the computer system/paperwork. saturn sl1 would be a crappy front of motor job too.
im not speaking for all SAC's al, just saying the most of the SAC's ive seen have a lot of hoopla going on. i cant speak for your wheel clamp machines but what models are you guys using at your jobs? it wouldnt happen to be a coats 9024 would it?
