  Our local rebuilder has gone pretty much that way too.  Apparently 
he'd sold the place and ended up getting it back after the other guys, 
had spread out into various other repair as well, had the profit margin 
a bit tight, then the economy went bust and they pretty much gave it 
back to him.  Now I guess he doesn't do anything that's not at full 
margin.  They do good work but no "help a guy out" anymore.  :-(
