as title. I will start first lol. I work for the royal mail. I work in the vehicle services department. I repair and look after the vans. Ive been doing the job for over a year now. Ive always worked on motor vehicles since i left school at 16 and im now 30. I have hated working in the motor trade but since i started at the royal mail i can safely say i love my job. I get to see some sights too. Some of the damage to the vans in unberlivable. So what do you all do.

i had a look around at the time i decided to get out from my old garage but know where was paying what i needed,

so decided to take some time away from mechanics, might go back one day, would really like to start up on my own

I bet its hard having your own garage.My wifes cousins opened up there own garage last year in june time.Its now closed lol,they just couldne find the business.

I dont think i could be arsed with the hassle of it all myself.I like to go home at the end of the day and not worry about my job.If you have your own business i think you would end up worried all the time about paying bills and keeping the garage up and running.
