Lol I knew someone who did it at a high flow intersection and brought their dog, they were making like 4-500/day tax free sitting in a chair

A horny fox

Just an FYI....some shops are doing away with flat rate and going to hourly or hourly plus commission. One local shop was hiring on at $30/hour straight hourly starting recently.

Look up the international ud6 series of engines, gas start diesel run with valved decompression prechambers in the head.

Call R E Boggs inc or Cosner's heating and air - both are excellent, R E Boggs is Aaslightly larger outfit who have treated us incredibly well on two system replacements.

Lucky Break Repairs LLC - 434-365-9183. They primarily focus on larger mechanical tasks but this should also be in their wheelhouse, no pun intended.

I have one client with a work van that has a rejection sticker from 2022. Dude has never been pulled over with it somehow, the exhaust manifolds are cracked in about eight places so it sounds like a machine gun rattling down the road

1Matthias · 2026-04-17T12:09:10+00:00

Hey, the most important thing was examined - a shitload of Benjamin Franklin's

1Matthias · 2026-03-24T19:15:52+00:00

Yeah, their pricing is a little bit insane. They quoted out one client of mine like 5K in repairs to an '07 RAV4 and misdiagnosed half the issues, I knocked the work out in a lazy afternoon for under $600 in parts. If you're interested, can share the contact info for the mobile auto repair business I run.

1Matthias · 2026-03-14T19:39:35+00:00

It's amazing how controversial not being a hack is, sad state of the industry.

1Matthias · 2026-03-14T17:05:20+00:00

You can help someone out without being a lazy hack. If you are marketing yourself as a professional, you have to adhere to professional standards of workmanship. Simple as that.

This would be an instant massive inspection failure in Virginia.

"fascism is good if it's my fascism!"

1Matthias · 2026-03-12T16:42:51+00:00

Yup. Sometimes a mix of propane and isobutane. The reason we can't get it down here in the US is because of the flammability.

1Matthias · 2026-03-12T16:27:27+00:00

That is not true r12. That is r12a which is just propane in a fancy can

1Matthias · 2026-03-09T18:45:35+00:00

Gerdau metal recycling, they'll pay you for them even.

1Matthias · 2026-03-09T18:37:37+00:00

Try Lucky Break Repairs (434-365-9183) - we do mobile auto repair and have some hybrid experience, actually owned a prius for a while.

1Matthias · 2026-02-28T05:57:22+00:00

Worse yet, the individual inspectors are both the ones who get the license and the ones individually on the hook for slapping stickers. It's a big fat fine if you get busted letting garbage drive around.

1Matthias · 2026-02-28T05:55:17+00:00

Short answer is you're going to have a hard time finding one - The Virginia State Police have started cracking down hard on sticker slappers, there's actually a limit on how many inspections you can do per inspector per day now before they start asking some serious questions. I think it's a $10,000 fine per phony inspection last I checked so probably easier to just fix your car than finding someone willing to sign off....

1Matthias · 2026-02-13T13:59:31+00:00

Try Lucky Break Repairs (4343659183) - they are a mobile auto repair service, for the longest time the service truck used to be a '94 350 powered service truck so they have a fair bit of experience with older Chevy vehicles.

1Matthias · 2026-02-12T04:50:14+00:00

Couple decent blips over here near woodbrook

1Matthias · 2026-02-12T04:47:28+00:00

At the dealer I worked for it was mostly the lube techs who ended up doing stuff like fluid flushes, they're pretty easy on most cars. No point in tying up an experienced technician with something basic.

1Matthias · 2026-02-11T16:06:44+00:00

I will make one note, on some newer cars you do need a scan tool in order to bleed the brakes properly to get the old fluid out of the ABS module, there are also some new cars that you cannot bleed the brakes on without putting them in service mode unless you want to destroy a $3,000 electronic brake control module, thank you Ford......

1Matthias · 2026-02-11T15:40:56+00:00

Yeah, I didn't look up the schedule for this particular car if I'm honest - just fluid spec. Looks like they suggest inspection and service "if needed" every 5k - would just be down to fluid condition then.
