I'm sorry to hear that Tony, but glad you're boss managed to sort you out with another job. That at least, was a decent thing for him to do and reflects well on you as he obviously thinks a lot of you to go out of his way to line you up with another/rival garage. Good luck with it Tony. Have you done body repairs before?

You may well find that this might turn out to be a move for the better - here's hoping so
