Purchasing and Service Consulting
10
Before you buy any big ticket item, or fork out your hard earned cash for services, bounce whats happening off me. I have extensive experience and education in a wide range of topics, from I.T., Automotive, Pet Care, Consumer electronics.
I am a I.T. Professional and DIY everything possible. as a result, I've become rather thrifty and over the years it has saved me a BUNDLE of money.
Example: Dealership tells you that you have to get XYZ done to your car and its going to cost your first born: Send me a picture and some details, and I'll tell you if its reasonable!
Example 2: You need to buy a big ticket item (TV, Surround system, Computer, Phone, etc) and want to know what you should be looking for, or for my professional advice! Drop me a line with what you're thinking of, and whats important to you, and I'll recommend what I believe suits you best!
I have a passion for these things, and over-research everything I buy, have to fix, or replace.
I leave you with my particular passions:
