I would like to thank everyone that saw my post and reached out to me. Thankfully, I was able to hire two more mechanics. Bent Oaks Garage is now running strong and can handle most of your immediate needs.

Greetings everyone, with business growing at a rapid rate. I am in need of help in my shop. Many of you know I stepped away from doing Admin work for a blacksmithing organization and opened my own business called Bent Oaks Garage, doing automotive repair. I currently have one employee and am in desperate need of another. We are currently booked out over three weeks and steadily adding more daily. We do everything from general auto repair to more experienced stuff like engine rebuilds, engine swaps, clutches, transmission swaps, custom performance builds, etc. prefer to hire someone who already has experience, not an apprentice. Someone who can also Tig weld aluminum for the custom build aspect. Pay based on experience. I will also hire ex-cons and people that just got out of jail needing a job for probation!
