Aloha Everyone - quick change to our fabrication policy and pricing - take note:
From now on, if you need a bumper, a body, or any significant part made with less than 48 hours of notice there will be a rush job surcharge. It will be 50% of the original job cost extra. I will always try to accommodate everyone right up to the last minute if possible, but it’s getting harder to budget my time between the job that pays the real bills, the job that pays the kart bills, and my family time. Not to mention managing the materials I need to keep on hand with the number of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday requests for parts needed that weekend.
Also, I will always try to do the best I can to get you your parts, I have no problem bringing them to tracks I’m going to or sending them with a willing courier if possible and convenient. Your parts are your responsibility to get picked up promptly tho. Imagine giving up an hour or two of your own time going to the shop early on a weekday, or spending your weekend working to help someone out in a jam only to hold onto that unpaid part for three weeks after, that’s frustrating. If you need your part before race day, you might have to plan on making a trip to Hancock or Deposit to pick it up or I can ship UPS.
I’m working on coming up with a quick order form for you guys who are doing it the right way and getting your orders to me at the track the week before to fill out so I can keep things better organized on my end. And the surcharge doesn’t apply to parts that I have in inventory prior. (For example, I try to bring an extra bumper with me at most tracks, if you need it and I already have it, it’s not surcharged, but it is first come). This message really doesn’t apply to 90% of my customers and supporters, thank you all for trusting me with yours and my craziest ideas, I love being there for you when you need a custom part, and bringing those ideas to fruition is the most rewarding part of this venture.
