One of the best mechanics I ever knew couldn't read or write worth a lick, but put a wrench in his hands and he was pure genius. Sad but true.

I wouldn't have even considered this guy at all because of his crappy listing. I do the same withe ebay listings and such.

But you are right, you want a mechanic not an English major. I think I should open up a little more...

Yeah, but I would want him to be able to push the spell check button.

That is a shame that we can't post animated GIF's, cause the CTT post is really funny when animated.

I think the caption reads - who needs a tire jack?

be careful with some of these Craig's List mechanics, I have to compete with them all the time on prices, I figure if some one would rather deal with them after they talk to me, I don't want them as a customer anyways, don't get me wrong, there are a few about there that are pretty good, but there are a lot of hack wrenches out there that put on a bad show for the industry. For me personalty, I've never done any other advertising than the signs on my van, business cards and personal references and I stay pretty busy year round. I don't condemn anyone for advertising on craigslist, I just been the one to break the bad news to customers after they get screwed, then they get suspect of me because I quoted them a high price for doing the same job they already paid for. BTW, google chrome spell check saves my a$$
