Lucas & David are joined by Stéphane Grabina of Excluservice in Rockville, MD. Stéphane has been a long-time and very influential member of ASOG. 

They try to tackle estimating, providing costs upfront to the customer when they're dropping off, and the mindset each shop owner needs to bring when establishing their own policies and procedures at their own shops. 
 
As it turns out, the topic was larger than what could be covered in one podcast, but you'll hopefully come away with a fresh perspective on the topic.    

You'll be happy to know that Lucas managed to hold back his disdain for the group of people he disparaged in the last episode.

Enjoy!
