Kansas City Bait & Switch Outfits in the NEWS

[Mike Brummett]

This was on the Kansas City "Call-For-Action" segment of the news last night. All about the guys who advertise $9.95 per room and give our industry a bad name. Brian Bock, the good guy in the story, is vice-prez of our Mo-Kan SCRT Chapter.

The end is going to kick them all in the A$$. Any chance of this practice ending? Yes. In 2008, if you buy Shaw or Mohawk carpet, your warranty is void if you don't get an IICRC-certified firm to clean it.

I'm Sorry, If someone was that cheap and stupid to actually respond
to that ad, they deserve it!!!!



All The Best, Rob

Thanks for the information, Mike. For years the SCRT has taken the lead in working with local media to expose such tactics.

Mike, you and I occasionally find ourselves on opposite sides of some industry issues, but I find your dedication to supporting the betterment of our industry something that has continually earned my respect.

Glad to have you here.

Mike,


How did it feel to be exposed via TV news? Did it get you more or less work?


I know Chavez was impressed with the TV exposure.

Hey, I was given no advance warning. It was not my fault.

I was wearing that grocery bag because I did not have time to find my pants! :shock:




Oh well, time to change out the magnetic sign on the van and get a new phone number.

Where's my old "IICUC" logo?

Exactly what type of blithering idiot think someone can drive to their home and perform a service for 20 bucks!
