Freelance Body Shop Guys (Plymouth)

I don't mean to undermine your profession by any means, I am just looking to save a little money. I have a van that the lease is due in February, it has some body work that needs to be done, I got a bid from the body shop and it is $2400 to fix the bumper and some damage to the right side. I am hoping that there is someone that can do it for less. I am planning on getting a new car by the end of January, so you can have the van for basically the whole month of February to fix on your own time. I hope I can get this done for $500 plus parts.

Let me know if you are interested and what experience you have.

Need loading/hauling of concrete w/rebar (Llano, TX)

We are taking bids for someone to load and haul away a demolished concrete slab. The slab was for a 2 car garage. The garage structure has been hauled away, but now we need someone to load and haul the demolished concrete. The concrete contains rebar. There is easy access to the vast majority of the concrete. A small portion of it was mistakenly dumped in a low area close by. Job is located in Llano. We don't think the Llano dump will take the concrete if it contains rebar. We hear the Llano airport is taking some fill but we don't know if they will take this stuff. Call (512) 689-6280 if you are interested. Bidders are welcome to go by and take a look at what's there. Low bid may not win the work....we want a reasonable quote in $.

Rigger needed to move a lathe 1 mile (Georgetown)

I need a rigger(s) to move a large lathe (about 2,000 lbs) about 1 mile.

You will need a large forklift and a truck, as we do not have a crane to load. I assume you will use the truck to first transport your forklift, then the lathe. Or we can provide the truck if this is not an option. There is a steep rise to the machine shop.

Please make your very best offer. Our business is closing due to many clients going bankrupt.

Email through CL for more information.

I need you to fix A/C and fridge unit on boat air conditioner (Jonestown)

The fridge is a norcold RV type that was working great 3 months ago, then it was unplugged for 3 months to clean and so forth and now it does NOT get cold. It gets cool, but the freeezer part is wet and doesn't freeze and the fridge part is cool, but thats it. I don't know if it needs refridgerent or the thermostat is busted or if it just gave out. The second problem: The A/C unit needs a new compressor, which i have in store. So ineed someone to change the compressor out and place a new one and then fill with R22 refridgerent. Please let me know if you can do either job or both. Thanks..... Let me know your price or come and check it out for estimate on how much to fix it. The compressor for the A/C i think would be the hardest...... I think the thermostat on the fridge can be checked with an ohm meter if its working........

Mechanic with Porsche experience needed for 944 Turbo (South Austin, TX)

I've put a rebuilt motor into my 1986 944 Turbo and all that is left is to hook up the engine wiring, radiator, vacuum lines and try to crank it. I've run out of motivation and am getting sick of working on it alone, I'm willing to pay for someone who has experience with these cars to come out and assist me, or even just do it.

I'd take it into a mechanic and have them do it but the good porsche mechanics I've talked to are understandably hesitant to accept responsibility for my 80% completed project.

If you're willing to drive out here and get this thing running with me, I'll happily pay any reasonable price. I'm happy to let you come check out the state of the car before you commit to anything.

Mercedes Mechanic (Lala land)

You want a specialist, for a 22 year old car, that is worth $1,200.00 dollars, who is Bonded and Insured, to work in your driveway?

Dealership Mechanics aren't bonded.

The car needs basic maintenance, IE: windows, sunroof, radiator fan, and you want to upgrade it to SVO, and add a trailer hitch?

Then you want three references too?

Whoever posted this, put down the crack pipe, call somebody to tow away this junker, and take the bus until you can addord a used civic.

Seriously, if anybody knows anything about cars, this posting needs to be in the Craigs Best of, but most folks won't get the joke.

This poster is the Joke.
