Ok guys from my time here on SON ive realized that alot of you seem to be mechanics. I am doing a mechanic program rightn now and its not co-op.

That means i have to find a job on my own and its proving to be very difficult .  
I have a lot of basic knowledge and have always been a do it yoursef type of guy .

I was wondering what tips u guys have for getting my foot in the door!!  
Maybe even some known businesses that hire apprentices.

Any help would be deeply appreciated Very Happy

(How about giving me a chance to fix my avatar before!! you lock the dam thread man… geezz) :o

Its mainly a rad and gas tank shop, but they do everything else aswell. Its a cash job as far as i know…hes not a class A mechanic but has owned his own shop for 20 years…and has has a race car since the late 80’s…but retired last year
