I went to a local trade school and I am an Auto Mech Grad (I graduated in 2013 at WICC) and I help people out on the side to try and make a few dollars but they are usually friends so I don't make any money for most things but I have a lot of fun lol.
I talk to so many people about their cars all the time I am moving towards sending people to get quality work done at good prices and to help them get better pricing. It seems to be people love the help so they just don't get ripped off or to reduce the fear of paying way too much for a repair that may not be needed.
If anyone needs a link to my school I went to let me know, I can get work done there for donuts.
Yes I can get work done for pizzas, donuts, coffees, but you are REALLY helping out the students.
It is in the West Island on Pierrefonds BLVD across from the City Hall and I will gladly hook ANYONE up for free repairs of any makes and models. The German makes, sadly, is very hard on the teachers as for those cars the teacher would end up doing the repair for you but the students will watch and take notes and videos off of their cellphones but I'd have to talk to the teachers to see how they feel about the level of involvement they would need to spend to fix a German make.
The only thing you have to do is fill out a waiver as they are only Students.
Honda tends to be the strongest repairs the students do as many are Honda Acura owners (old beaters they are kids), but they will do great work on Toyota, GM, Ford, Chrysler as well pretty much in that order.
Anyway anyone PM me, this is important that the Students get as much work as possible to practice on. They get to fill out customer complaint, and go through their module books. They love it then pig out together on Pizzas (Sources Pizza IMO is the best Pizza in the West Island).
So no fantasy from me! I can be standing with my old teachers looking at repairing a BITOG members car at any time. I just get a kick out of it as a hobby for now I will see how things grow, I will definately keep my day job for a long time to come.
Cheers for all your help guys!
