Message	Running a shop can be a pain in the ass...Running ANY type of business can be. Unfortunately, that means absolutely nothing to a consumer. WHY would any rational Z owner go to a shop that takes an exorbinant amount of time to do overpriced shit work when they can go to someplace like Z1 or to Dupree and have it all done properly the first time at competitive prices?? Boost Solutions' conundrums are theyre own problem and if they dont get their act together, they wont have business problems to complain about.
