I needed work done on my Jeep Compass,to pass state inspection.
I texted Watchman a pic of all the work the local shop said that my vehicle needed.
Watchman doesnt do tires,but he saved me $1000 by working on the control arms and ball joints.
He showed up on time,when he said he would and completed the job in 4 hours.
I later informed him that there was a bolt and nut missing,causing me to have to leave the Jeep at Discount Tire.Watchman showed up the next morning and fixed the problem,making sure everything was tight and in place and safe.For this bit of extra work,he didn't charge me a penny.
He is a good honest mechanic.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do bundle discounts on about everything. Longer recording/production sessions get discounts, bulk buying guitar or music production lessons reduces the price significantly, longer live entertainment gigs are cheaper by the hour
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Long story short… I’ve been doing music since I was 5 years old, piano at 5, guitar at 8, drums, bass, singing and recording/production at 15, around the same time I started playing live music. Basically, as long as I can remember.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Live Entertainment
I have played several birthday parties, a graduation party, a couple office parties, and I used to play weekly at a breakfast restaurant.
Guitar lessons
I teach students of all ages, elementary school age kids to people who have kids in high school. I teach acoustic and/or electric. I can teach most genres,
if you’re looking to learn jazz or classical I won’t be of much use, but I have people I can refer you to.
Music production/audio engineering
I specialize in indie/alt music production. I am comfortable producing and engineering that, hip hop, pop, modern rnb, and others. My current recording setup does not allow the simultaneous recording of a full band.
