Congrats to you, Banjo! I'm glad to hear your toolbox has wheels on it!
That independent garage is lucky to get a skilled tech like yourself. Take advantage of this opportunity. Make it work for you and your family.
Enjoy the ride, man!

Sounds like a great move and a perfect fit. It is important to be comfortable in a job, and to feel like there is some stability there as well. Hoping for a long and happy employment for you!

Thanks all. Any of ya stop on in anytime.
Russ, Mechanical only. but I have a guy here in Horseheads that is a fabulous bodyman. I'm always happy to refer work to him.
It is a risk. Being an independant shop is getting harder and harder. The technology in cars is advancing at an alarming rate. Lots of schooling, and keeping up on things is going to be required.
But on the other side, this is an oppertunity to be in a small business where I can be more than a number, and Newfield has a touch of "Mayberry" to it. It's a small town where everybody knows everybody else, but it's also just outside of Ithaca where there is a huge customer base (of very diverse people thanks to Cornell)
I worked at this shop for 2 years, 10 years ago, right out of school. It holds fond memories from then, I hope to make lots more.
