    Beer. Beer always opens doors an helps set the tone for all future business. These are mechanics...the average man, blue collar, apple pie and football! Ok....so maybe some mechanics don't fit that stereotype...but still, it sounded good.

    Seriously..beverages. Adult or not. Or...Pizza. Everyone loves Pizza. Buy that shop some pizza, an watch the lead weights from wheels be thrown at you! In a good way...unless the pizza sucked then you deserve it.

    It's the same as networking with yards, computer store owners, customers, etc. I find pizza(lunch) or beer(beverages, adult or not) are always a good way to break the ice, or further along a business relationship. Bring me free beer an watch how quick we become friends. lol.

    Oh an don't go in an start asking for all the good stuff either. Take it all. All the metal. Parts, broken metal, etc etc. Don't cherry pick. It all adds up especially if your just starting out. Plus it'll help you learn what the hell your doing. Heh. You'll learn the metals, what to look for, what is worth it or what isn't.

    Anyhow as one of our members once said..



    If you never ask the answer will always be no.

    YMMV.

    Good luck.
