Thank you comment icon I suggest you stop in a place in your town and ask some questions. Share that this is your dream to work in an auto place. They will give you ideas and share if they have tools for you. I believe in some locations you can start as an appretice. Trisha Borme

Rene’s Answer

I've never worked in a body shop but I know that body work is mostly labor. There's not a lot of highly technical things you'll need to know. For a lot of the things that go on in a body shop you'll need to develop technique as opposed to gathering a wealth of knowledge. Body shops use a lot of metalworking tools. Oxyacetylene torches, plasma cutters as well as hydraulic Porta powers. There's also a lot of sanding and polishing that goes on.
