I understand you have to cover your ***, but for someone who doesn't know you personally, they have to cover theirs too, you know?

IMO (if you haven't already), get licensed, bonded, and insured if you want to start taking deposits. Trust has to go both ways.

Wow, dude if you're doing this stuff without your paperwork in order you need to remedy that IMMEDIATELY. You seem like a cool guy, but all it takes is 1 mishap and you could be sued for everything you've got.

A friend was doing alarm installs on the side, and got sued for his wiring causing an accident. I've seen dozens of his projects, and his wiring was always super neat. Some kid rear ended someone, and said the alarm wiring cause his foot to get snagged up. I believe the kid lied, but his parents ended up suing my friend.

Get a small garage rented and do it ligit already, this way if you are not done with their car and they don't pay, you can lock the car in the garage...

You can't even put a mechanics lean on a case like this because, you are just doing it as a hobby, making cash on the side... As good as you may be... you are still not a business.

Incorporate yourself, self employed... get a tax id number... get a name registered... get a business licence for installing car audio.. Start printing receipts for your work and get deposits with a written document... Yes you will have to pay some taxes, but that is part of owning a business...
