    Wrench finally taking on side work

    Hey guys how's it going happy to say that with the new job I'm going to have weekends off and be local and start taking on side work agin and since I will be working out off a service truck I will leave all my good tools at home so I'm fully stocked up.anyone know my best bet for rounding up some work I already put a couple ads up on Craigslist.thinking of getting some b business cards made in the next 5 years I'm going to open my own shop Hipps Diesel Repair I figure ill start with side work and then word of mouth will hopefully give me some business what you guys think no other shops for a hundred miles each way I figure the o/o will be some good customers if I treat them right.where should I post an ad other then Craigslist?thanks for reading guys.

    Have you considered a bill board? They are pricy, but I know for us, when we were on the road, I would make note of the local diesel repair shops advertising on bill boards. We did call a few on occasion as well.
