What got my goat   is that the Feds want quarterly income taxes paid before you make a dime. Then, April 15, you'll probably owe more, if you're lucky. And April 30, the State wants their property taxes, and the Feds want another quarter of income tax. It's just too much all at once. I will admit, that it's easy to make a small fortune in business for yourself, but you'd better start with a large fortune.

PS: Wait until the WA EPA wants their special fees and wants you to attend classes.....

I'm a mechanic myself.  I wish you the best of luck, your rates are good.  I think the shop rate at our Ford Dealer is $87 an hour, not to mention parts prices +++, $8 for a can of brake wash etc. 

Oh yes, the govenor wants his piece of the pie, and to keep out of trouble i did get a license and am all legal and all. And no government dept. want's people to be independant. But I don't care what they want, I'm tired of making someone elses payments at my expence. If I'm going to bust my hump, I want the biggest piece of pie I can get my hands on!!

So, any takers?  I can't believe there isn't someone out there who needs something fixed ???

I'm sure he has a WA state business license and turns in his taxes. They just want their cut that's all.

"you're gonna find that the Fed. Govt. and State of WA do NOT want you to be in biz for yourself " - why not - duh.....?

I had Dr. Bob do some work on the GMC 4X4, and it  ran like a champ.   

However, Bob, you're gonna find that the Fed. Govt. and State of WA do NOT want you to be in biz for yourself. 

I think You'll all find the very affordable rate of $52.50/hr, for experienced, certified,automotive expertise quite a supprise, when the average shop labor rate in the area is about $95.00/hr. and you still have to get your car there.   However, at this stage of the game, I may concider special rates.

I'm sure there is a club discount.....

Greetings fellow club members! Many of you know me, even more know of me, and even more of you are wondering who is this guy? Well, for those of you in the last two catagories, my name is Bob Brownlee. I'm an ASE Certified auto and truck mechanic with 15 years experience in import and domestic repair and service.  I have recently found myself in a position to start my own mobile repair service. Although not really prepaired for such a business venture, I thought I would give a go and see how things go.

That's where you all come in! As I mentioned before, my repair service is mobile! Meanning I come to you! In doing so, I am able to offer my services at a much lower rate than a shop, as my overhead is much lower! I'm proficient in most areas of repair from something as simple as changing a lite bulb to the complexities of rebuilding engines. About the only things I don't do are body work, and emmisions; I'm not state certified. Other than that, I'm up for almost anything!!

The name of my new business is:
Dr. Bob's Mobile Auto Clinic

The number to call is:253-931-0395

Please, if any of you need some work done on a vehicle, or know someone who does, pass on the word and or the number. I may be the hinging point on wheather I will be able to fish tournies this year, let alone eat!

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I'm looking forward working for you, and fishing with you too!!

Your friend and fellow club member,
     Dr. Bob
