Towns not listed are priced by distance — under 20 mi $20, under 40 mi $40, past the 40-mile radius $150–200.
Matching reads the town and the ZIP, not the street, so a job on Monroe St in Ruston prices as Ruston.

Learn a Trade.
Build a Career.
Work for Yourself.
Capers Certified is growing and we are looking for people who want to learn. No experience required. If you are willing to work hard and show up, we will teach you the rest.
What You Get
This is not a classroom. You learn by doing real jobs alongside Christian. Every step is hands-on, documented, and designed to get you working independently as fast as possible.
You Buy
Your Own Tools.
This is non-negotiable. Every professional mechanic owns their tools. It builds ownership, pride in your work, and skin in the game. You will not be left to figure it out alone — Christian will walk you through exactly what to buy, where to get it, and how to avoid wasting money on the wrong things.
The starter kit runs $150–$300 depending on where you source it. Christian will help you source the right tools at the right price before your first day — so you show up ready, not guessing.
Before your first day, you will go over the starter list together, find the best sources for your budget, and make sure you are not overpaying. No guessing, no wasted money.
Once you are set up, you are expected to have your tools every single day. A mechanic without tools is not a mechanic. That standard does not flex.

What We're
Looking For
Skills can be taught. What you bring to the table matters more than what you already know.
Reliability is the first requirement. If you commit to being somewhere, you're there.
Mechanical work requires focus. Mistakes on a car can hurt people.
This is not a job. It's a training program. You have to want the knowledge.
Every vehicle belongs to someone who depends on it. We treat it that way.

"Called Christian on a Friday afternoon, car wouldn't start in my driveway. He showed up in under 2 hours, had the battery replaced and my car running before dinner. Didn't try to sell me anything extra. This is the kind of mechanic you want in your phone."
"My check engine light came on and I was dreading the bill. Christian ran the diagnostic, explained exactly what was wrong, and fixed the sensor right there in the parking lot. Charged me a fair price and didn't make me feel like I was getting played. Will not go anywhere else."
"He came to the job site, did my oil change and checked my brakes while I kept working. Didn't have to take a day off or sit in a waiting room. He was on time, professional, and the price was exactly what he quoted. Veteran owned and it shows — real stand-up guy."
