Thanks so much again for reaching out to me, it helps to know that things will work out as they're supposed to and that I'm not alone in feeling this way. It really hit home when you said you tried your best for the shop but it wasn't sustainable and I am definitely feeling that I am in that position, as I have given it my absolute all.
The lease on our apartment is up this year so the wife and I are talking about moving back to my hometown. It is a much bigger city and I feel there will be more opportunity for me down there to really find the right shop/pay. I also have quite a few contacts down there that I met during my years doing dealer work that I can reach out to but unfortunately, I would have to stick it out another half year here.. which, to be honest, I don't know that I can weather this storm as it already feels like I'm drowning.
You offer a nice service here, full of awesome resources and I thank you for that tintdude.. as for your time as well.
