 | I want to know what kind of automotive job pays well and also interacts with cars.

 | With all the advances in car technology these last 30 years, why does the slightest knock (like from someone opening the door of the car parked next to it) or scrape from a bramble bush result in such an expensive repair job? Can car bodies not be made tougher, or is it just a racket for the car industry?

 | The new car I bought wasn't properly prepped, and now -- three months after buying the car -- the rail-dust residue has to be un-done.
My concern (worry, really) is that it won't all be attended to; that it wil be done in patches; and that further down the road, more instances of rail dust will present themselves.
Should I insist that the entire car be treated, whether or not rail dust is visible? I suspect they'll simply treat the spots they can see. I do NOT want to have to be running back to the dealer every few months to have this fixed.
What do you suggest I do/say to help insure the problem gets fixed once and for good? Should I involve management? I definitely will tip the dude who does the work (though I don't expect to have to pay for the repair service), but should I tip him up front and let him know there's more if -- and only if -- he does a boffo job? Is that insulting? I do not want to antagonize the guy who's gonna repair my ride, ferchrissakes. Advice?

 | I have an 88 Honda Civic that is starting to blow blue smoke from the exhaust and probably needs at least a ring and valve job if not a full rebuild. Is getting an automotive school to do this repair a good idea? Has anyone else ever gotten their car repaired using this method? How did it go?

| I'm looking for a welder for home automotive repair, just off the top of my head I know I'm gonna need to do some sheet metal and some steel around 1/4 inch. If you could only have one type of welder what would it be? I'm thinking i may be best off with mig because of sheet metal but have heard some people claim to be able to stick weld body work and mufflers(thin stuff) while others clam stick is terrible for thin stuff ( burn throughs). Anyway I know it is mostly a matter of opinion so what are your opinions? Stick, tig, mig, other? Throw out your opinion and get some free points, can't hurt right haha. Thanks!
