There’s pretty solid money to be had in the auto body industry around here
Most auto body places around here won't touch a vehicle unless it's a insurance claim. Other areas like machining they don't want to pay their employees a fair wage. This had to do with customers demanding a lower price all the time and demanding a higher quality part. We have some parts where we are trying to hold +-.0002 and only charging $3 for. The only shops that do pay decent are the ones that are producing their own products.

Yeah, thats definitely true around here. There's one or two custom shops that will take on cash work, but 90% of places won't touch anything if they can't bill insurance to get paid.

shiat, it'd be nice to have 30 minutes so I can put my fender liners back in and melt them up. So I can install my tires. But no, can't even do that.
