Genuineguy

Hi.

I am living in athlone, and i was wondering does anyone know of anyone that is looking for a hand in either fixing cars or panel beating in the athlone area.

I am free after 6 in the evenings and would like to get a bit of knowledge in repairing cars,either body work or mechanical.

If yeah know anyone that would be looking for a hard worker to give them a help in there garage in the eves, Please let me know. i am looking to gain experience.

Thanks

Most garages etc close around half 5, so doubt you'd have much luck there.

Well if there was anyone that does a bit of work on the side in the evenings fixing cars, That would be more suitable. Thanks

Currently what is your knowledge like. Can you do basic servicing, pads etc. If not do a nightcourse or something. Also do you want to do this to get into the trade or to just learn about cars ?

Well, Just trying to get more familar with a car,

I would be able todo a basic service, Oil, fuel filter, Brake pads.

Would like to gain a bit more knowledge on engines. Ie Clutches, Timing belt etc. I have done a bit of spray work on my own car, would also like to gain a bit more knowledge on that to.

Its for my own personal knowledge more than anything else, just have an interest in cars.

If you can't do an oil change, filters or plugs at the moment a Haynes manual or similar is your friend Or an evening course, they are very basic but will cover oil changes and plugs etc.

I can do all of that, The spark plug, oil filter, More or less looking to gain experience from working with a machanic on cars, More hands on approach.
If there was a mechanic that was even doing mixers in the evenings that would suit me also.

Sorry I misread your post
