workshop or body shop owners

[d247806y]

Hi guys

Can anyone help me out? I am fed up with my job, and looking for a career in the motor trade. Ive always repaired my own cars, including engine work.
In return for practical experience you will get 7 days a week from me with no complaints, I would be happy to work for free during any trial period, so what have you got to lose, or even if you know of someone looking for staff then could you pass my details on. I am in Southyorkshire and have transport but would gladly travel.

thanks guys

Dave

My advice is don't do it mate, the car trade is on it's arse at the moment, especially the body side! I'm a panel beater with a good reputation for the quality of my work, I was told on friday Lookers is closing our shop down, and I doubt i'm going to find another job as a wacker, I'm looking to get out of the motor trade, and try and get back into welding or electrical work. Unless you are seriously well qualified and lucky your not going to find anything thats worth a biscuit.
