Auto Related Job Opportunities?

Post by MtnManMatt »

Jeep = Bottomless Money Pit. Therefore, I need a job...

I've applied to the campus jobs and whatnot, but if possible, I'd really like to work somewhere auto related. Some kina shop preferably, but the problem is I have no official training :mrgreen: I learn fast though and have figured out most all of what I know through my own experiences...

Don't really have much of a feel for what's available in Blacksburg though, so ideas/suggestions would be appreciated :thumby:

Christiansburg is better than Blacksburg. He agreed and said that he works in Christiansburg. I did not realize he worked there. I was asking when he started working there.
