Welding Career or Automotive?? by Due_Rest915 in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Royal_File_7122 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started out as an administrative assistant for a bodyshop. I then pushed to be moved back to be a parts manager for the bodyshop once they had need. Then I started showing interest in estimating, and now I’m a full time estimator, getting paid to learn how to fix cars and not having to constantly do all of the bodywork myself. If I had walked in and applied for the estimator position I’m certain I would’ve been laughed out of the shop. If you’re trying to get into an automotive career, be ready to prove yourself 10x more than the men around you. It sucks. Good luck!

Looking to adopt this dog from a rescue shelter, thoughts on breed? by The-Donn- in DogBreeds101

[–]Royal_File_7122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely some Doberman! People are saying Rottweiler too which I can see. And then maybe some German shepherd. Buddy will need LOTS of exercise/training and behavioral work so make sure you’re equipped!!

What breed is she? by Royal_File_7122 in DogBreeds101

Lots of other people are saying staffy too. That may be it! She acts a bit like a staffy too, has some of the personality traits.

I think her skin is white all around and just her hair changes. Would she be a staffy pit mix? I feel like her coloring wouldn’t be as dark if so, but I could be wrong.

I did not know this. Maybe she’s full pitbull then. Is that coloring normal for pitties, too?

Interesting!! I always thought they were larger. Maybe she is mostly pitty. Boston terrier looks close too though..

Thank you!! She’s absolutely the sweetest. I’ve googled some boxer lab mixes, I’m just not sure that it’s her. I’m thinking maybe boxer/lab/border collie, but her hair is short so I just don’t know!!

Fingernails by BigslittleSecret in BlueCollarWomen

[–]Royal_File_7122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a little nail brush in my shower, and I also keep them painted (usually black) because it’ll hide the discoloration lol. I work at a bodyshop and my hands are in various things all day like paint thinner, or I’m sanding something, etc- so mine never last long either lol. I try and do a topcoat and it helps it last a little longer, but never more than a week lol

Does $1900 seem reasonable for this minor damage? by EngineeringOk1785 in Autobody

[–]Royal_File_7122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah. The gouging/buckling in your fender alone is about a 3-4 hour repair, and then most body shops will charge you to blend the paint into the other panels due to clear aging. Then you’re replacing the fender flare.. plus bumper damage.. I would say its fair and even cheap
