Registered: October 2002 Re: Setting up a new Car Shop Sun, 03 April 2005 21:23 I highly recommend against getting in the trade or going anywhere near it. TOTALY AGREE the money you have would be better off invested in other places not to mention the stress involved being tied to shitbox cars. The whole automotive industry bar maybe wreckers is FUCKED, to repair a car for $4000 - $8000 may sound like a lot but it is not if the car requires a qualified tradesman on even the shithouse base rate of pay ($18 a hour from memory-not much more than some moron who left school straight for a factory job doing sweeet FA, particaraly as you have to buy your own tools and put up with shit pay for 4 years) to be on it for a week or two then at the painters for another week or so, moral in these industrys is low nobody gives a shit because of the low pay and hard work, so dont expect hardworkers. The smash repair shop is the only industry I know of where some arsehole assesor can walk in, have a look of a quote for a job and then write his own times/price on it and the bosses just sit there and sucks arse. Imagine walking into cash converters say and because your a regular customer you feel you have the right to write your own price on items which infact you know VERY little about, at best the owner will tell you to fuck off and dont waist my time more likely police would be involved. Tradesmen are hard to come across simply because by the time they "graduate" they have been treated like shit for so long the smart ones fuckoff out of the industry to cleaner better paid more respected jobs. could keep going on and on but hopefully the message is clear DONT-DO-IT, custom shops are even worse by the way!!!
