I can't relocate, have a family here. i would think the body shops around here would have plenty of work, we have had snow and ice here also. but i call every week, no openings anywhere. i have heard a lot of people who are having minor accidents are just pocketing their insurance money and not getting their cars fixed.

Not much work down here in Indy.
Maybe check out the body repair school and see if they are looking for instructors?

They wil remember your face and will know that you need the work and wand the job, not some kid just looking to earn a few bucks.
I knew a guy that called GE once every few weeks to the same person for almost a year.... one day he got a call and they wanted to interview him for a GOOD paying job.... he did and got the job.
Get straight to the point and leave.

Thanks for the advice guys. Just have to be persistant with it, can't give up. Hopefully this economy turns around soon, but i have a feeling its gonna get a little worse before it gets any better. I would like to move, but girlfriend and her kid are not down for that.

The economy sucks really bad man. I am in the automotive industry as well and It seems to be getting more scarce by the month! If I hear anything opening up for a position, I'll contact you.
