Would a Snap-On dealer take something like this back or if it is financed through Snap-On corporate; she would be stuck with it? Seems, I heard of dealers taking tools back all the time when the buyer can't afford it, by losing their job, etc.

Actually, if you read the fine print on Snap-On invoices (the ones I get anyway) the most Snappy can do if you don't pay your tab is take the tools back. Seems the dealer wouldn't have much choice anyway.

However, if it is was bought right from the website, I'm not sure what the deal would be.

A woman who wants to work on cars, and blonde as a bonus?!

I wonder if she's married? ;)

[dxdexter]

It may be legit, but it sounds like a scam.

Some questions pop up:I can't understand why she sell the last tool she apparently has. Is she giving up on the mechanics business and why is her web site still up, if it even is hers. The site indicates they have many mechanics hired so why wouldn't they use the Modis?

what a retarded business model , nothing stirs up trouble in a small town quicker than a fly by night mechanic in a van ......
sounds like she was the boss , her mechanic was a crackhead

[SpiderGearsMan]

modis is up around 10g ?? if not more

[MachineTech]

It says right on there that she has never turned a wrench in her life. In order to run a biz I would imagine you must have some idea or else all your employees are going to take advantage of you. It really looks like she has invested a very large bundle...I agree...very sad.

It gets more interesting, apparently she's an ex-actress,

might be fun to work on cars ........

[MachineTech]

That web site is loaded with sentences missing words and poorly structured. I'm not saying I could do better but clearly she was taken advantage of by more than just her coke head mech.

[billymade]

Her website isn't quite up to professional standards.... maybe they didn't hire a marketing firm....

honestly...what can you be capable of working out of truck ?
things take a billion times longer without a lift and a shop

I can't imagine working everyday in someones driveway. It would suck hard.

[MachineTech]

lmao - lets go over-haul an engine in January. First dig the car out of 5 feet of snow from being plowed in. It's been broke down since last summer and it's not even in the drive way but around the back of the garage next to the swing set.

I can't see how anything like this would take off other than to just go and give folks jump starts...which is already a saturated market.

[5wndwcpe]

Her ass is waaaay too big.


I'm just sayin'...

[dxdexter]

I wonder if this is the crackhead trying to hide from the camera, so he won't be recognized by "Americas most Wanted" ?

I was actually wondering the same thing.

If she is genuine I feel bad for her, she made a foolish decision to go into a business that she knew actually nothing about ..... (Like one of us trying to start a hair-styling business)

Just not a smart move at all.

If your gonna haul tools around and work out of a vehicle, wouldn't you atleast get a panel van or delivery truck style vehicle? Something easier to work out of is what I mean.:lol_hitti

[Moose-LandTran]

I can't believe no-one else has said this..




I'd hit that.

I thought about that when I came across this on her site:

MIMI....she says YESSSS!

[MachineTech]

I'm thinkin' she's a "butter-face"...everythings good...but her face

[bmwpower]

They have something like this where I work. A local garage has this mobile box truck and shows up at work and they work on people's car in the parking lot. You'd be surprised how many people show up to have their oil changed, etc. I think this kinda business is really for the easy stuff, no clutch jobs or anything like that.

Sounds like the last shop I worked for. Brakes and front end overhauls outside on jack stands in the rain.
Visions of WWI trenches and shit.

yeah, nice pooter. Assuming that's not the MODIS box up under her skirt.

I kinda like it ... :) the two piston's form a M

[paramudduck]

I wonder why two stars? The M kind of makes sense. Her name and company name.

[dxdexter]

The logo looks like two eyes a nose and a mouth to me.


I found this interesting quote on her website:

"We require dealership trained ASE certified master techs with minimum 5 years of experience. Background checks, alcohol and drug screening without warning."

Obviously they don't practice what they preach.

[billymade]

How could they afford to pay a master tech with that type of business?

[paramudduck]

If you read the other item they solds page it reminds me of a teenagers work. And why if in Virginia use the screen name nycmimi2002 Item location newport news, VA?

[SpiderGearsMan]

too many 'street mechanics' in nyc
she had to go with less competition

[Moose-LandTran]

Turn 'er over! :thumbup:

I thought she had a nice face, looks like she has a nice everything..
