Like I said my $65/ hr is a heck a lot better but of course I am a stupid independent shop owner. The local JD was at $100 the last time I checked and I saw a customer walking out because of the price so I handled him one my cards.

Yup I used to work out of my garage but neighbors and all, so our local JD was hiring so I thought what the heck no overhead, and lifts. So best move I've made great people at our local JD so far it is really good, when I graduated years ago from tech course through a college nobody wanted to hire. Now I can do my passion without the bs

That why I work for myself now. After 16yrs I got laid-off due corporate downsizing. No one would hire me due the amount of experience I had. Otherwords they were afraid I would take their job away, Instead I gave up after 5 yrs of hunting and started taking away their business instead.

Yes there are a lot of headaches that goes with running your own business but no boss to please other than myself. Right now I doing the end of the year inventory making sure things are where they are suppose to be. So far I have found several items that got NLA so I got to add them back as NOS parts. Retail value has gone from 79K+ to 81K+

Oh I get get you're too expensive on labor but when offer to let them do the work themselves they quickly give in most times. Most customers think they only paying you to turn a wrench and not the knowledge of where to use that wrench.
