Try any car dealership. Honestly though, I had a tough time finding a job as a first year apprentice. Nobody's looking for someone like that. They want at least a 3rd year. And I'll tell you right now, a first year apprentice won't be working on diesels, unless it's in a truck shop like where I work. And even then, you won't be doing any engine work until 3rd year.

If there is any way for you to stick it out and get 3rd or 4th year before you move, you should. Have you got the schooling done yet? Are you sure you want to go automotive? Or would you be okay with commercial transport or heavy duty? CT mechanics make way more than automotive, but HD mechanics make a little more than CT.
