Correct. You need to be a tad more specific.

Once you find one, if they actually show up, and on time you will be lucky.

I always look at the vehicle that they drive. It if is new and expensive I get a little nervous about the price.

Wow, as "The Professor" I would expect that you would use more research than that to come to a conclusion.

Instead you could actually ask the contractor why their price is higher (if it even is).

I certainly wouldn't let quality of work, work experience, reputation, crew experience and how your job will be managed, be your judge.

Definately let the vehicle type and trim level be your guide to whether you should trust your contractor.

That is the funniest statement I have heard all week, thank you.

Default I agree

Even though I don’t drive a new vehicle, during the summer I always try to make it look good when meeting with a prospective client. Even if I leave a job site and look like crap myself.
I paint for a builder who although has a not so new truck, it looks brand new.
