G'day Trendsetters!

Could i please once again call on your good natures to put your feelers out for a possible job for young Matt. He is a qualified diesel fitter and is in need of urgent work. If i had the money i would invest in a mobile diesel/4x4 tuning, accessory fitting and mechanical work-shop.

Those of you that have had young Matt work on your vehicles know how good of an operator he is! I know it is tough times out there at present. However, i do not give-up on a causes helping people and finding Matt a job is in my book a good cause.

If anybody can help Matt or recommended him to a possible employer could you please do so ASAP.

PS, at present the poor bloke is selling one of his Patrols and other personal equipment to financially survive. This is a man who would at a drop of a hat help anybody in need!

I await your kind responses!

Regards,

Paul (RLI)

Posted this in that other thread Matty....." Where are you from".. but thought better here?


I would really consider this option seriously Matt.. look into your outlay and a starting client base and so on but you would be surprised at how well you could do from something like this mate.

I run my own business and am slow now due to down sizing for a bit but I was working 6-7 days a week no problems and will build up the business again this spring.

I have not advertised in over 2 years as I got more work through word of mouth and just chatting to people and so on...!!

Someone like you that has a broad knowledge base that can do the little extra things at a job not just mowing the grass (wink wink) can do really well.

It is a scary step at first but after a year or so you find it easier and the clients seem to come with little trouble.

If you do try not to borrow.... start small and build with your own money that way there is less pressure if it does not work out.

My 2 cents anyway

With BA there are no dedicated 4x4 Mechanics for want of a better word in a mobile platform.
I can actually seeing this kicking on and franchised out. Find a reliable source for parts {Gary @ Nizzbits}
Approach some fuel depots for fluids, Turn a GU or GQ into a trailer not hard to do, Logo and away you go.
Set a limit on distance travelled before a surcharge applies.

That's if you like working on other ppls 4x4.
I used to work for Honda in Alice But got sick of ppl saying
Fix my bike but don't spend more than $100.
Then you get non paying ppl, shite I'm talking myself out of it.
But you know what I mean

I'm not sure if you will consider this option for you Matt but for the time being to generate an income you could consider it untill you can get back into diesel fitting. If you are on the dole you can do a couple of short courses paid by the government, 1 a food handling certificate so you could get into hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants etc and be a pot washer ( doesn't sound fancy but the afternoon shift from 4 to 9 pays around $25 p/hr here in Melb) or a carers course and work with the disabled or senior citizens. There is a high demand for carers here in melbourne but pay is not great but its better than nothing.

The mechanical trade is a dieing industry coz people are afraid to spend money to maintain the car coz they don't know what tomorrow will bring so they rather wait till it breaks down or try do the work them selfs.

Best of luck Matt i hope you find something soon!!

Hope so, affects a sh*te load of people in various different sectors. My job appears to be safe at the moment but things can change very quickly as the company tries to reign things in, in order to save money.

Its a job though all the same. I think they are aligned with 4WDAction??
