Yeah warhorse I've got another five years and I'm out,the trade has changed so much in the last ten years with insurance companies buying big panel shops turning them into high output sausage factories that keeps every-ones hourly rate low ,high material cost ,trick colours that require more time than you can charge for and the Australian attitude of being cheapskates when it comes to skilled labour won't bode well for the five man or under shops ,as far as i know I'm one of two one man shows on the southside of Brisbane
But enough doom and gloom I'm still doing well but I do have a skill set and drive that makes it work and I still enjoy repairing cars.
