Re: Advice on advertising for local help
One thought along the same line is that if there is a college or vocational school in your area that has an automotive program see if there is a student that might need a few hours of work. Most colleges and trade schools charge a labor charge if you take the rig in to the school shop and it may be a lot better to have someone come to your garage to work on it for a few hours when you need them.
Maybe even a second or third year auto mechanics student from a local high school recommended by the instructor. When I was teaching I had people calling looking for a kid who could work on something that had some skill, was reliable and trustworthy.
Then there is always Side Job Bob and every area seems to have a couple of local mechanics or body men who do side jobs. Only problem there is that they may want more money than you have to spend at one shot.
