No wonder all Jay's cars look and run so great, it's the team behind the curtain that makes it happen. Thanks Jay for showing the hands doing the real work of maintaining your fleet, it is so interesting and satisfying to learn about them and the jobs they do. Kudos to all.

Great to see someone as young as Ava wanting to learn that old tech and fix it.

Ava reminds me of my late Aunt Joyce, who grew up with three gear head older brothers. I remember Joyce replacing the water pump on her Impala while her husband handed her the tools.

I get unreasonably excited for these restoration updates

Jay, thank you for saving all these cars for history

It is so beautiful to see how much Jay cares about his people❤

I really enjoyed watching Ava trying not to crack up when Jay was making his usual one liners. Very nice to see someone under 60 who obviously has the passion and skills needed for Jay's Garage. She welds better than I do!

Hats off the the craftsman (and women) behind the collection. They do amazing work. Please keep giving them time in front of the camera, they deserve it.

Seeing Jimmy brought back so many memories of the early 2000s Discovery Channel era. That era inspired a generation of kids to get into trades including myself.

THE biggest car guy in the world, we love you Jay!!!

One of my most favorite pastimes is watching the Jay Leno's Garage - Restoration Blogs. It's incredibly interesting.

You can see that Jay appreciates and respects his crew. They are comfortable discussing the project and adding content or even correcting Jay if necessary. That type of relationship with the Boss is pretty rare.

Bless her heart you can tell she was nervous being on camera but her work on getting the bigger engine to work in that little car is fantastic. How cool it must be to work for Jay Leno.

As an engineer and amateur auto restorer, I'm so impressed with Jay's team and tools Jay provides to them.

Jay’s Restoration blogs are always a treat (it always takes me away from the crazy world around us). Thank you Mr. Leno and the team 🌹🙏

I always look forward to these restoration updates. Thanks for continuing to do them, as its neat to see how things are progressing behind the scenes of your regular video format.

The amount of skill and intelligence in that shop combined with the rare vehicles makes Jays garage truly a place that is priceless.

that new girl on the troup is wonderful, very sympathetic and certainly a huge valuable addition of craftmanship to the garage! Bravo !

My favourite type of 'Garage' episode! Wonderful stuff. I like the way Jay treats his employees, they are people, not a number. How about all of those skills his people have! This is so important restoring these vehicles, so that your children's children's children will be aware of a wonderful motoring history we once had.

It's nice to see Ava again. 💝

I love it when you present a dedicated show on your project updates, and especially the people behind all the projects that you have going. What I also love is the little historic details of each project, and the upgrades and the reason for the upgrades. In other words, I find every bit of it fascinating AND educational. Thank you Jay.

Real nice to hear from the crew including Ava. Great blog. Thanks Jay

Jay, this was a very cool episode with your garage and the spectacular, passionate people working for you on your vehicles. As a 34 year member of Steamfitter's Union Local 475 in Newark, New Jersey I've had both the pleasure and the opportunity to work on, and sometimes, the unfortunate replacement, of boilers and steam systems dating back to WW1, and beyond. A few of the boilers were originally installed in 1883 and lasted well into the late 1990's early 2000's. Unfortunately, they were replaced for more "efficient" systems. In my humble opinion, steam is definitely the best system for heating, and outlasts today's newest "high efficiency" systems. Another thing that definitely has changed over the years, as you mentioned, (is mostly thanks to the E.P.A.; our industry has moved overseas) the quality of materials that I install has diminished drastically. Back in the day when I was an apprentice, if it didn't say "made in the U.S.A." , it was refused and sent back. Today, it seems that India and Taiwan are the better choice; and the ABSOLUTE WORST is "made in China". It is apparent that the "quality control" is absent compared to American standards when it comes to materials either cast or forged. Honestly, if we keep pushing industry out of America, we will be at the mercy of the rest of the world. One of the coolest people I had the chance to meet was Leon Hess, at his refinery (now gone), in Woodbridge(Port Reading), NJ. It Definitely was the cleanest refinery I've ever worked in. Leon Hess said the only reason for going into the refinery business was because it was cheaper than doing electric; which was his original preference. Seeing the Electric Vehicles, but especially the steam vehicles from the time when my grandparents were born, is amazing. Once again, thank you Jay for sharing. Stay safe, God bless, and God bless America!😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Thanks for preserving Britain's history/engineering so well.

Woaaahh you guys have a DeLorean Time Machine over there? Czechoslovakia hasn’t been a country for some thirty years now.

Jay, you truly are a blessing to your watchers and listeners. I could watch these videos for hours every day. And your talent to assemble such a fine and specialized staff is amazing. It is my prayer that your lovely bride continues to be a blessing to you. I know she is your strength.

Thank you Ava!!👍😁👍

I'm so glad all these mechanical creations are in the hands of someone with the means and the love to keep them in prime, operation condition. It's fun seeing Jay indulging his passion for these historic machines.

Always great to see another restoration blog...but Jay, its not cold war era anymore, Czechoslovakia is now Czech republic and Slovakia :D, two seperate countries!

Thank Jay for having all this restoration being done all those cars and bikes. History is so very important and few of us can afford to do what you are having done. Please stay in good health.

Ava standing next to George gave me Stanley and Olie vibes. Awesome to see someone learning and retaining the necessary knowledge to keep these jewels on the road for another 100 years.

Jay, I love how your passion results in the preservation of vital mechanical skills in your workers. We live in an era when hardly anything is repaired; items are so often tossed and replaced with new instead of being fixed. Luckily, your garage is a temple to the guy who can put things right.

Jay Leno and his crew and collection are a National Treasure

Amazing how Jay has survived very serious injuries from members of his collection and still has such enthusiasm and devotion for them. ❤

Imagine going from GM to JL? A very fortunate young lady that one. And, how many bosses would pay for two hips, two wrists and an eye? That's 100s of 1000s in the US, you are a good man Jay.

It really is amazing to have younger people working there! Nice to showcase Ava, and her work.

Tell Ava she can relax. She's an artist ! Speaking of which, in case Jay and the subscribers haven't heard yet, we lost Marcello Gandini yesterday 3/13/24 . Designer of the Lamborghini Miura, Countach, Diablo etc. Tip a cold one to him 🍻. That man had a eye for automotive beauty. The world is a little darker without him ! 😔

Jay Leno is a one-of-a-kind American, and I love what he does for automotive history. Learning about Ava was great and more power to her and her career. Glad to hear the mention of Bernard.

We need to protect Jay and his team at all cost. They are a national treasure.

Hello Ava! Welcome, your craft is needed.

I don't think it's people 'not wanting to work', it's a combination of people who don't think some of these technical skills are important anymore, or those that think their value is gone. For example- try to find a good shoe repair person. It can be hard, because shoes have reached a 'throw away' level of value rather than having them fixed.

Thanks for introducing your staff Jay, they are clearly all honest, hard working devotees of the arts and crafts involved in keeping a collection like this in good shape.

those restoration blogs are the best :) cant wait to watch new one.Jay youre legend !

Good to see Jim Hall again. You have a great team Mr Leno. Thanks for the video.

My favorite episodes. Thank you for bringing us in the shop.

A brief glance behind the scenes of JLG, a rare peek under the skirts of some of the worlds rarest vintage cars and motorcycles. These are my favourite JLG videos.

I look forward to these restoration episodes. I bet Jay Leno is a good man to work for. It is good to see younger people like Ava learning from the best on restoring classic & rare cars. 👍

These are so much fun. Czechoslovakia ceased to exist in 1992 though

As has been mentioned before, the stewardship of these vehicles is so appreciated. The cost to do what you do, Jay, is so far out of most peoples range. Thank you so much.

Jay’s Garage is like heaven on Earth for gearheads and car enthusiasts. Love watching these update vods. Thanks Jay!!

Nice to see so much metal and so little plastic! Appreciate everything all of you are doing!

8:15 Much respect to those that designed and built things in 1920 that would require, at least, AutoCad today. I am just old enough to have taken a two year course in drafting and design in which every dimension was either solved by hand or chart. Our first year we were not allowed to use any form of calculator. Every assignment was checked with the papers or reference material we used to solve all the work. The second year we could use an engineering calculator (which back then were almost as expensive as a phone today) to check our work but we still had to show the math that we used. There is a reason that steam vehicles that are over a hundred years old still work but a Tesla can't charge in the snow.

Thank You, Jay! Love this Show!

The whole staff is incredible...wow.

Not only this is a great car collection. But also an amazing collection of talented people. Jay is an institution!

Thanks for sharing Jay! Beautiful work from all your experts!!!!

Thank you Jay .. I enjoy the restoration side of the shop ☺️👏👏👏 Happy Motoring Everyone ✌️🤠🙏

So good to see automotive history being preserved. Thank you Jay.

So great to see #MrJimHall !

Love your honesty Jay, hitting all the marks. ❤

This really is the best car show on KZfaq. Jay’s garage is the living definition of scope creep. Can’t wait to see the Aerial Atom. That will be crazy.

Yep, Ava is every car guy's dream.. A woman that knows what she's talking about and how to fix stuff is an amazing thing. I'm glad that the world is changing and there's getting to be more women like her.

Wow , #Ava is cool as a fan ! You guys should maybe think about a resto blog w/ Ava & her co-wrkrs update every other week . She's clearly an awesome mechanic just like the others @JLG , well spoken & not camera shy . I love the resto blog guys & gals , thx so much !

C'est super cher Jay de vous avoir en direct ! ❤️👍

Ok Ava is super impressive. As is George. Jay your the best man, great video, very cool.

Jay, I love your Doble. I grew up restoring and polishing my dad’s 15’ T touring. My father was a founding member of HACO, historical automobile club of Oregon. We toured with some amazing cars, Deusenbergs (Charlie Norris), White touring, Rolls, Portland Oregon had a lot of great antique cars. I ended up going to a marine engineering school and sailed on steam ships for many years retiring in 13’ as Chief Engineer, Steam, Motor, Gas turbine and Motor Vessels. My first love was always steam and yes I’m very familiar with packing steam valves, pumps and all boiler fittings. Our high pressure control valves usually had stellite valve surfaces and seats. It’s a cobalt Chromium based alloy.

Restoration Blog! YES!!! Thanks Jay. 🤗

Rebuilt the Indian "so I can crash again on a more reliable vehicle...." HA! Gotta love Jay!

The biggest, most humble, the happiest car man i have met. Eva is an incredible addition! Jay lenos garage for life!😊

I am really digging Ava. She is more than pulling her weight with the "boys". You're a rock star.

Great update! Go Jay and crew, keep moving forward and thanks to all of you for your dedication to the craft and keeping these amazing machines alive!

I really do love Jay Leno's videos but whoever decided to use this funky script in the thumbnails really needs to rethink the target audience.

Greed of Americans lead to selling out of companies. Workers still want to work.

We had a 1956 Roadmaster Buick. And the projects are totally awesome. Loved seeing them all Jay. Thank you for sharing your work! 💯👊👍

Jay it is so admirable to see how passionate you are about this automotive hobby. The fact that it's clearly about keeping the hobby alive and preserving the history more so than looking at them as "your" cars is so admirable. Thank you for keeping automotive history preserved.

Americans want to work, but we also want to get paid a living wage for our labor, you can’t expect people to work 40 hours for their bosses making them rich while not being able to afford groceries

whats up with the cancer patient?

Thank you Jay for the awesome decades of your passion and love of restoring, preserving and sharing historical to modern evolutions of the mechanical transportation revolution like no other.

What a crew! These folks are amazing! It's great to have Ava there among these Masters.With her talent along side these others they are literally recreating old masterpieces. This is a very special team. Thanks Jay for assembling not only the cars but these gifted workers as well.

Thx for the video Jay love thiese restoblogs. There is no Czechoslovakia anymore for 31 years now just Czech and Slovak ..

The skills of the staff are to be cherished... you do wonderful things Jay that we all get to share. Thank you. John.

Thank you all for your work.

These are my favorite episodes, thanks so much for sharing the work done in the garage, and for giving shout-outs to the talented people there.

Yes!! My favorite videos! Thank you Jay!!

Ava is one in a million. A smart young woman with a great skill set in the automotive industry. I am glad to see her at Jay Leno’s garage.

Jay, another great blog. It is fascinating to see the variety of projects you & your team have going on--well done. :)

Wonderful that you found someone with her skill.

Always like these updates, great to see young people being involved as when we are all gone they will be the ones that keep these machines running.

Thanks for the update, Jay. I really enjoyed it.

We love you, Jay. Thanks for all the automobile preservation.👌🏻

What a crew you have at the Garage! All are experts in their fields and seem to be really nice people.

Jay Leno is a National Treasure.

This must've been a couple of years now but i remember seeing Jay talk about restoring an old Volvo Amazon estate,i think it was supposed to be finished in polestar blue and have modern suspension and brakes etc. Would be fun to see what happened to that one.

Love all you people doing this great work on these beautiful cars! Thank you.

thanks Jay & Crew good to see you all doing well , great JOB!!!!!!!!

The garage videos you do are the very best, you and Sammy Miller shop updates are incredible!! Thanks for sharing Jay!!!

Love the restoration videos, thanks for sharing your time!

More of this please Jay, its just wonderful!!

I love Jay, he is a real treasure trove of knowledge, a real car guy who loves all vehicles. I know he probably doesn’t look at the comments, but I’d like to just get it out there. In 2021 I got sick with COVID and pneumonia at the same time, I waited too long to see a doctor, due to this I almost died. I was on the ventilator and completely sedated for 2 full weeks, I had the most vivid and crazy dreams during those weeks, and most of them included freakin Jay Leno! When I told one of my nurses about my dreams, she immediately brought me a notebook and told me to write it all down. All the dreams were crazy, weird but good, in all my dreams Jay was fantastic. He saved many families from COVID by letting them live in his hotel, he had his own staff of nurses and doctors who were way better than “regular” nurses and doctors, they fixed me and other people, regularly. That’s just a snippet of my dreams, but they were so vivid that when I finally woke up, I wanted to leave the hospital immediately, and I pleaded with my nurses to let me go because I know Jay Leno damnit! and his nurses will take care of me better!😂 They wouldn’t let me go! But, then I had a window of opportunity to escape, yea, that’s when I realized I wasn’t strong enough to even sit upright. It took days and nights of thinking to come back to reality. Anyway, thanks Jay! You have no idea how much safer I felt (in my dreams) cuz you’re a good dude!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

What an amazing team you have Jay. I know that you value them. With such a large and valuable collection I suppose you have thought about the future of it and the team. Thanks for sharing all the trials and successes.
