Get me a quote on putting a drivers quarter on my 95 bird. Probably going to be a while before I can afford it but the sticker covering the hole won't last long.

preach it brother:bigthumb i was just pitching a bitch this morning got to work and wasn't but a few jobs to do,the paint special comment was ment for sarcasm i hear it turned into an issue of advertisment with some moderaters go figure:rolleyes: sure isn't the same with out vinny it never would have been an issue with him i guess the economy crunch has got everyone money hungry . but god damn i hope we get some work at work:lol: or i'm going back to slingin crack in da hood or collecting pop bottles one of the two

Amen... It is slow. I left one dealership to go to another just in time, like the next week, for the last dealer to fire one tech and lay another off. I now drive farther, have the same workload, have less managerial supervision, and get paid more. It's all a tradeoff.
Doesn't help when people are being "frugal" ("I can fix that myself.") over stuff that needs to be fixed immediately.

A lot of businesses are slow right now. I know the company has been slow for a while now.

I know what your sayng Chris. Thats why I finally got out. Tired of the up and downs and not being able to control your own pay. I went to work every day ready to produce but without cars there no pay. Flat rate is great when theres work to do, but most shop owners I've seen dont take care of the guys that take care of them. Good luck to ya.
