Anybody know of some good schools for Auto Body Collision around Gwinnett? I keep looking, but I'm only finding a few schools and I don't feel like commuting from Snellville to Valdosta.
Any help is appreciated...I can't stand my job.
Thanks,
Justin

I do some stuff in my garage, but I would like to learn on a more professional level what needs to be done in certain cases. That's a good point though, about getting hired on as a shop boy. Thanks!

In that case, I have a few questions about the whole shop boy thing. I.e. What all does the shop boy do? Also, the 4/5 shop boys statistic, is that because people just don't like the job after a little while, they can't handle it due to being lazy, or because it's that damn hard? Even bigger question is what kind of money does a shop boy usually make.

BTW, I was up at YRC a couple weeks ago and saw your car. nice job man!Originally Posted by 5thgcelica

^Yo, that seems to be normal everywhere you go. My deal is that I like doing it already and I have this thing about having to make sure the work I do is perfect.Originally Posted by VinhBodyS
Anyways, what's wrong with that school? Other than its location?

lol alot of good laughs.Originally Posted by 5thgcelica
But dont buy anything from the school. They mark up the price 10%. If you need paint, buy it at slacks or if there is an autocolor by you, do that.

blablabla... craigs a little dipshit he doesnt knwo nothing... he just sits around and tries to :idb: everyone then thecome for me every once in a while.. while we have a wannab
in the class who all he does is smoke pot and runs into the paint booth cuse he cant stand up.
lol then why did u ask me to set up your spray gun for you? toolOriginally Posted by rickgiblin
are you starting the actual course or are you starting your core classes?Originally Posted by h22racer
im just playin with you ninja... you know that pimpin. but today was a bitch day and i was only there for like an hour i know... i arrived late, o well.Originally Posted by Bishop
, i wonder who all is starting the acctual class. well, i guess were gonna be fixin our own shit next 1/4 cuse of the bs school. hopefully some noobs come in so we can perform plan a... its gonna be fun
lol. I think we are going to have to work on our own shit for the rest of the time there i bet. Fuck that, if he didnt charge out of the ass i would actually work on my own shit. Fucking fag. Its soo much bullshit too. Why does he charge it? For using electricity? Filters for the booth? The school pays for that which in turn, the government pays for it. He's just pocketing that money just like he did with the paint today.Originally Posted by rickgiblin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
WOOOOORDDD NIGGAAA that bastard..
i dont know what the hell we are gonna do for the rest of the time there.... burn shit i guess. lol!
lol that was some funny shit. If this really does happen (only working on our own cars) i;m going to try to talk to him about lowering the fee....like $20 or $30 for all quarterOriginally Posted by 5thgcelica
word. cause i cant afford that shit.
i mean ill do some minor stuff. but woooo...dis nigga be broke.... espeically w/ whats goin down now...
yeah, thats some gay ass shit. i say we all just don;t bring cars in. lol seriosuly....we wouldnt have anything to do. Its genius! He will ask why we dont bring anything in and we will tell him that the fee is fucking rediculous. Then he will drop it or lower it alot...We should go talk to someone like the president and see if that fee is legitOriginally Posted by 5thgcelica
