A surveillance video shows man pouring gasoline.

No, the customer isn't always right. 

Security video shows someone who is allegedly a disgruntled customer on Friday night trying to torch Frank’s Auto Center repair shop on Harper Avenue on Detroit’s east side, Larry Spruill of WDIV reports.

Owner Frank Hachem tells the staton the shop got into a disagreement earlier in the day. 

“We had a customer come in. He wasn’t happy about the price. We gave him a price up front, fixed his car. He comes picks up his car. He said that’s not the price we gave him. He said he already paid us but he didn’t pay us.”

The video shows a person pouring gasoline around the exterior of the shop and a second person handing him a piece of paper on fire.

A customer noticed the fire and called 911. The damage appears to be minor. No word on any arrest.
