Needed new side steps as the originals were rusted. So bent up some new outer shapes from some 2mm steel and bought some chequer plate to weld on top. Went a bit thicker on the steel to make them strong. Got the lower section that mounts them bent up at a local metal shop. Got quoted $70 then when I picked them up a few days later he wanted an extra $40, so after telling him that he quoted me he said it was only an estimate so he took a $100. Really hate getting anything done around here as everyone is either out to rip you or not interested unless it’s easy money for them.
Then l got home and found his bending was out and he bent it out of 2mm instead of the 1.6mm from OEM. So got him to redo one of them.
