Smile Star Diagnostics Lowering?

The fellow on this forum that has been doing this lowering now wants you to buy other services/accessories from him before he will lower the car for you and I don,t need any other accessories. So, now I am in need of someone in the So. Cal. area that can lower my CLS55 via. Star Diagnistics. Anyone know of someone that can do this for me? - Bob

which is only caused by the fact that I got stood up almost 10 times in 3 trips by people who have their lowering scheduled and never show up (no - we did not require a deposit for lowering)...and that sucks big time as I usually am short of time as it is already...I do not want to waste my time on people who do not show up after they get scheduled for something.

With that being said, we still offer (and already accepted) lowering for people who do not take anything else (and do require a deposit nowadays) but the first step in getting something worked out involves emailing us rather then posting on a forum - Bob.

greetingz,

Ah gotcha Bob. Your OP wasn't too clear on that. Nevertheless you make a point.

You can't argue with Steve here...he makes a valid point. His products and service are first rate, so I recommend paying ahead of time, showing up, and not complaining about it.

Life in general, isn't it?
