attackpainter Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I did repo work for a few car lots when i was younger. Nothing like taking someones car when theyre 10ft away watching tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirPsycho Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 You need to think about what is best for you and your family. I think the main question you need to ask is what kind of longevity the Repo man gig will have. Is this just a transistion job till you find something else you like better? Do you really want to keep working where you are at now? I am not sure of your history or your responsibilties. those are some things i would be thinking about. Could be a great opportunity I bet business is up. Good LuckNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alab32 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I think there would be some advantages and some disadvantages. Do you have a CCW? Are you allowed to carry while working for the company? Do they supply any other personal protective stuff? That works off of a percentage cut of the cost of the car or something like that right? I think I would enjoy doing something like that since it would give a decent rush when people are aware of what youre doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good LuckNickwhere Im at now just bores me anymore and Ive went as high as I can go in the company can spend the rest of my life here and the only thing I can look forward to is a couple raises Im theres no more promotions to be had and Im about maxed out in pay here as well thats why Im thinking about itA buddy of mine does repos for a local bank. He loves it. Great money.They made me a great offer but its still about a $700 a month paycut to start " Ill be the first to admit Im overpaid now though" Ill get it back in time and theres advancement opportunities too plus the day to day would not be lame an drag outA repo man spends his life getting into tense situations.Im already doing that at the drama shack I work atI think there would be some advantages and some disadvantages.

That works off of a percentage cut of the cost of the car or something like that right? I think I would enjoy doing something like that since it would give a decent rush when people are aware of what youre doing. you can carry but it usually works against you puts people on edge its nothing like these stupid shows on tv you knock on the door the first time around and try to talk to them and that usually works if it doesnt you come back another day and follow em to work or the store and take it there , really not alot of confrontation unless you really want it that way but theres no need for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Nah, I knew a guy went to Los Angeles and did repo.He'd just call ahead and tell them. Then call again when he was out front.Any resistance, and he came right back with the po-po.Bi-lingual (Spanish) with black belt of some sort.

Todd#43 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I did it back in the 80's as a "second job" kind of thing. Long story...Anyway, it wasn't a bad job, decent money, and certainly no where near as glamorous as they make it out to be on that TV Show.
