its hard  enough to get them to spring for stainless
fastners and lubing fastners up  with anti-seize.  it all adds up and they
complain that your taking  them to the cleaners because actual time was
more than "book"  time.

I don't even ask any more.  I just lube all  fasteners with anti-seize and
use only SS hardware when replacing ANY hardware  !  If the customer does not
like that then their free to go elsewhere  !  Point finale !
