It sounded like me this week. Two guys didn’t show up, and I was in the shop wide open. Salute to you, Alex

He seems like a very nice genuine guy. Has a very calming voice- could be a therapist.

Alex, I feel your pain. I was in business 25 years. No show, no call, first day, no shows, all of it. Just finding good help is almost impossible. When I closed I went to work as a store manager, same crap. Did that for about 6 or 7 years and just got tired of it, being the boss is no fun, and the boss's boss comes around, you are the blame for everything. I finally ended up in the retail sales and merchandising, loved it, stress level was down, my yearly evaluations were always exceeds expectations, it was great. That was what I did until I finally retired. I had to tone it down. Busy as you are I can't believe you took the time to make this video. When you own your own business it becomes your life. The only advice I can give you is, you must take some time for life. A work, life balance is necessary. All work and no play is not going to cut it. You have a good wife, just like me, and if it weren't for her, I don't think I could have made it. They are always there to help, they don't call out. I will shut up now. I didn't mean to write a book. Thanks for the video.

Try to take it easy Alex. Don’t burn yourself out. Remember, family first because they’re the reason why we work in the first place. I wish you good luck in finding some reliable employees.

hello Alex and Shon, hope all is well, wanted to tell you about a tool I made it is great for diagnosing abs sensors on gm cars, I just made 2 wires with connectors so I can plug the left side harness to the right side sensor same with the other side then if the code stays on the same side it is the hub, if it goes to the other side, it is a wire harness, it saves a lot of time

Aye man, you got a subscriber. I appreciate your honesty and real skills. Keep it up brother

Hey Alex..I love watching your videos ...love the way you just do what you gota do !!

Hard work. Good job. You're appreciated.

I know how it feels to have to do the work of two. Keep your head up and keep going forward my man

I love yall and the wifey is correct dont let nobody run over yall.

Alex it’s Taj. I’m going to be there bright and early on the 26th! I’ll be ready 💪🏿

Would love to see alexes attack on some eletrical diag and wire repair just because alex is awesome and tells it legit how it is. Kinda wish yall was closer ide be more than happy to work for such amazing and skilled folks like yall.

Love the videos.

It's hard to find people who actually want to work instead of living off of the government. Now I do not know what you pay but that has a huge factor. One of the reasons why I left the automotive industry for an office job is due to constantly being on your feet in the freezing heat and cold and getting treated like garbage by Management ( Not to mention working on people's filthy cars). I worked in a large chain auto shop that treated me like a number more than a person. Me being an ASE mechanic leaving the automotive industry was the best decision I ever made. My injured back from being on my feet all the time and slipped spinal disks in my back can finally heal.

Keep up the good work Alex and remember one day at a time:P

We see and feel your pain :-( It's tough to run a business if employees don't show up!

Great job of maintaining your professionalism, integrity and consistency. 🙏 that you get the type of techs you need.

I'd like to see a wiring video, it's always nice seeing a new way of doing something

Seen ABS codes a few times on that generation impala. Issue was broken WSS wires where the harness bends around about 8 inches from the sensor every time. Wire breaks inside the conduit with out the conduit breaking. Its a tough find if its your first one or two. Causing the good ol' intermittent issue.

Man it’s literally always the owner of the Mopar. But I know the fuel pump wire do get fried for some odd reason. Mine was fried and was reading wrong on my fuel gauge. Order both pumps and replace the wiring on the driver side pump & never had an issue after.

Peoples work ethic these days is sad. And after watching you and Mrs. Doctor in your live streams and your videos, people would be smart to come work for y'all.

Expedition have that same issue with the relay behind the fuse box also

We definitely want to see some wiring videos 👌

Hey Alex don’t know if you fixed that impala or not but I believe dorman makes a abs pigtail for that car . They go bad where the bend is . Very common bad spot that causes the abs traction lights and when turning from a stop will cause the car to jerk and the abs to activate. I would replace the abs pigtail . And fix all the wires that are not mounted correctly . Love watching your videos

Employees have excuses like my dog gave birth to kittens and my cat gave birth to puppies ! Employees been working for the same company for 10 years and have zero sick time because as soon as the build up 8 hours of sick time they take off.

I would love to work for you guys. I am currently a student at Davis Tech in Utah. I’m in my advanced automotive technology program. It would just be hard to move out there.

I hope you find someone dependable, they are hard to find seems like you get a young guy that shows up but is little more than a helper, the older guys like me ( I am 63) can not do 40 hour weeks anymore I wish I lived closer I would help out on days like this

Wow you are crazy busy to be alone hopefully you get some good people to work for you soon…👍👍

Great video, do some wiring videos 😁👍

good stuff 💪🏾

24:37 This ones for you Scotty K those "stupid Beauty covers" do have some use

🤣 23:09 lol omg j laughed so hard i had to replay and understand the joke 23:24😂😂

Wassup up Alex. Is pennzoil a good oil for my 2011 Acadia? I recently switched from Mobil 1. Before Mobil 1 it was AcDelco. Delco was getting too expensive and killing my pockets. I needed that extra few bucks. Especially now that’s I’m changing my own oil and filter. I also stick with Ac Delco filter all the time.

Would love to see some wiring videos !

Ur covered up with work man. Biz is slow in TN

I need a job there I work hard everyday and on time

What is the starting pay rate for a guy that is still learning, but will be there everyday, early?

Alex i'm a bussiness owner have had the same problem i have firring friday's never had that problem agin.

Finds some young hungry techs that match your energy…

are u hiring techs??? i met Alex once last year around early Feb . i have mechanical experience and i love to be taught. as long as you guys are fair and pay reasonable ill work

So are you regretting having a shop vs your mobile service? Since now your wife and you have to make sure the overhead costs are met and still turn a slight profit?

Hey alex whats going on with the chevy traverse

Do yall pay flat rate or salary pr hourly?

Where are you located???????

Start 📹 #DayInTheLife

Start with the supposedly easiest/simplest jobs save the hard complex jobs for later on.

Yeah,.my 2014 RAM 2500 is starting to sound like a diesel without the whine 😂😑

S/O to the WIFE at least she's there

Respect you and your wife alex, she got that mentality that is needed to run a business, Let me tell you "Nice" aint paid no bodys bills or help them grow their business, your in the game to make money and for the love of working and helping people get back on the road. Nothing worse then " taking" advantage of someone's kindness for granted and disrespect " your business" that yall work so hard for to keep float and make profit with. I would drop all those mfers today. Just a txt message, dont bother showing up because at this point yall disrespecting yourselves. By letting ungrateful workers take your check. This that " new shit " generation employers"

hey bro wen I come down I'll help you out

No sound

They don't want to work SMH... HIRE ME Alex I got you...

Am a mechanic 2 side to story maybe the pays no good or the benefits

You guys hiring lol

It sucks when ya have a business and you have to rely on other people to make that business a success. And you’re also the one that has to explain to the customer the what’s and whys. And then add into people suck these days and they don’t understand that the business is what pays there check so if the business isn’t successful and making money it can’t pay you I tell my guys. “The company rights the checks. The first day the company can’t pay your wages we shutting down. I ant paying shit out of my pocket. I take a check just like yall”. So think about that everytime you “just take a jug of oil home for the mower”. Or just throwing a box of rags in your truck for home. Ya steal off the business ya just stealing off yourself. If not present then the future for sure. Most of us that own a business if we gonna have to work 2x as hard we mights well shut down go work for someone else lol
