I love how Angelina breaks down what's actually going on inside the car and sandro breaks it down...for the boys

Sandro is hilarious - “if you roll back the clip…he’s in F-ing nowhere” 😂

Don't know how many times I've heard Sandro call them "zippy ties", but it never gets old. :)

Can these two not just be a part of the team at this point, they're so great and y'all need mechanics 😂

I swear Angelina and Sandro get better every episode. I didn’t know I could want to have a beer with Sandro anymore than I already did!

I like how Sandro doesn't even bother explaining stuff anymore because he knows that Angelina is going to do it, so he just does his own thing 😎

Crazy to discover Ms.A is on here. Being a former student. Loved her amazing personality. She had endless knowledge. She was a is a amazing teacher in RCC automotive program

Sandro is 100% a real dude. Such a genuinely nice funny dude.

Angelina&Sandro best real mechanics

You can tell Angelina's been teaching for a while because she takes time to explain things calmly and slowly so people have time to hear and process what she's saying.

These two are such a great duo. Want to see them all the time! Sandro understands the boys mentality, and Angelina explaining the actual "science" behind it for dums-dums like me is just fantastic.

That last clip looked different than Angelina was describing. The brake line was shot near the master cylinder. MacGyver pulled the line off of the MC (this part was not shown) then reconnected the line to the MC where it was punctured. Then he refilled the reservoir with the PS fluid. That said, I don't know how MacGyver would figure out that the line was punctured in the engine compartment rather than anywhere else along the brake lines. Also, PS fluid can be clear, and brake fluid can be red. This was also the 80s.

Angelina is great at explaining things. her students are lucky to have her

Man, I need a video with Sandro and Angelina together. The mix between Angelina's knowledge and Sandro's mechanical debauchery would make a video for the ages

The driveshaft bushing fix and Sandro’s response for how long it’ll last had me in tears!!!! I’ve thought about that but never executed!

the honking part from 6:18 🤣even the edits for the hand honking, im in tears

I love how Sandro is always like “oh yeah that’s sick” then on the other hand Angelina explains every clip to us. Dynamic duo

Such a good duo. Angelina is so knowledgeable, Sandro is here for the boys

One thing to know about the window hack -- which is undeniably badass -- is that parts designed for 120VAC get away with running 10x the power through the same gauge wire as 12VDC, because amperage is what determines wire size. What that means in English is that if you have a 15A cable in a house with 120VAC, it can carry 1800W, enough to run a space heater. That same 15A cable in a car can only power 180W, enough to maybe run the radiator fan. 12V systems hold cars back and have led to lots of sleepless nights for electrical engineers on how to not spend $$$ on copper for all the wiring, plus the weight of the wiring. There are two reasons we still stick with 12V instead of going higher voltage: higher voltages present more shock danger because they can overcome skin resistance, and the most reliable lead acid batteries love to be arrayed in 6 cells of 2V each.

Man, I love these dudes. Sandro's the most chill, the funniest mechanic I've seen. Would love to spend a few days at his shop, he has the best delivery. Top skills to you all. for bringing him on.

I get the feeling that Sandro is the kind of guy who is always thinking "I mean it's not how I would have done it but I appreciate the creativity"

Between Sandro's "zippy ties" and Angelina's "honk honk" and "the squish", this episode was awesome lol

Fun story for the throttle cable thing. Years ago, i was working at a gas station, and one of the guys there had an old firebird from the 70s that was sitting behind the garage forever. While i was dumping trash at the dumpster, one of the techs came out to move it for him. It was then that i realized that there was a string routed through the hole in the firewall where the pedal was supposed to go. So he turns the thing over, and goes to pull it up behind the boss man's new Escalade, and tugs on the damn string once too hard, and bumps straight into the Caddy. We all rush to see the damage, myself, the tech that was moving the car, and one other tech that had come out for a smoke. This was the generation of firebird with the pointed sheet metal front end, and lucky for the guy messing with it, it only touched the toe hitch ball. His exact words were "just walk away". No sooner do we do so, and i go back to the dumpster, than boss man comes around the other side of the building, and goes to his Caddy, none the wiser.

In the Army we called this BDAR(Battle Damage Assessment and Repair). We had kits which provided material which would hopefully get our equipment back up and running. As the Marines like to say, " Improvise, adapt and overcome!" Whatever gets you back home 😮😂 Great video guys. I'm a retired military mechanic and enjoy these videos. Keep up the great work!

5:30 Sandro proves again he deserves his own show.

Hands down my favorite segment. Sandro's the man

Sandro is such a chill dude. He funny af, and quick with the jokes. Great person to keep bringing back.

I can't even drive but I still love learning how cars work from you guys, especially Angelina and Sandro. Appreciate Justin's concern for safety too.

I'm happy that Sandro and Angelina continue being so prominent. They're powerhouse members of the crew at this point, and they always deliver!

Damn Angelina is an encyclopedia, awesome to see a woman be the knowledgeable car expert

Angelina is AMAZING. I learn so much, while having a great time. And Sandro is always fantastic.

Aight I got to say it. I LOVE way Sandro is SO interested watching all the hacks. You can legit see him totally soaking it all in when it's playing!

I love these two so much. And that Sandro has finally been allowed to swear naturally xD

Sandro's answer on why someone would wire a window is hilarious. Best mechanic personality next to Angela and Paul.

That power window hack is pure genius! 4:56

Angelina and Sandro are both freakin awesome! Looking forward to more content with these two mechanics. Also, I love the "zippy tie" belt fix, it's just A/C, it's not like they're running a camshaft with it so let's go!

please keep this pair of mechanics together! they should have their own channel!

5:25 Sandro understands what those of us who live in the literal middle of nowhere sometimes have to resort to.

11:23 okay the KIA boys are going for Honda too lol 😂

Angelina is the best mechanic on the show for the detailed explanation of each scenario

I'd love to see Sandro the vampire mechanic and Angelina the mechanic teacher host an entire episode solely by themselves.

Angelina out here trying to educate us and Sandro just understands all of the jokes with the boys. I just love every video with them.

I love the light switch one. Did something similar when the connections went bad in my 89 Mustang, used a “doorbell” button zip tied to the steering wheel. Lead to an interesting exchange one night when I got pulled over. Cop saw it, leaned his head into my window and promptly banged his head on my doorframe when he pressed it and the horn went off.

Sandro is hilarious. He could be a comedian for sure. For the boys!

Angelina and Sandro are the greatest duo ever. I love how Angelina is full of info, details, and advice. While Sandro is just a homie that’s there for the good times. Never change

I love how Angelina does all of the explaining. Santos would be like, bleep, bleep, it's for the boys, bleep.

Absolutely in love with these series!

Here's a fun one for you. When automatic windshield wipers were first developed they ran on vacuum. The engine would build enough vacuum in a vac can, and the wipers would be pulled to one side and would open up a bleed valve to vent into the vac-can. Once the wiper completed its pass, a spring would return it to neutral while the vacuum can recharged. Most folks would just disconnect the arm going to the vacuum system and manually run the wipers.

Angelina is great at explaining things. Sandro is great at reacting to things. Perfect combo.

If you're gonna drive out to the middle of nowhere make sure to take a friend like Sandro... No matter what goes wrong you're sure to get home 🤣😂

Thank you Sandro for not over explaining every video! More of him please!

1:20 One of the things I love about old G body Chevy Van's with Inline 6 or V8 engines in them is how easy it is to improvise missing parts or to get them running enough to get them home. I once drove an '82 Chevy G10 Van with a 250 Inline 6 home after buying it by bringing a junky spare monojet carb with me to swap out the dead one, pinned the choke open on the carb with a spring from a dead Gamestop PS2 steering wheel set, used a throttle return spring from a '91 Cadillac, and left the engine cover off so I could use my hand to work the throttle. It was positioned perfectly. Since it was an automatic and I'm ambidextrous I could steer with my left hand and use the throttle with my right. With my Van a '79 with a 350 V8, I've driven the throttle by hand on my Quadrajet to get to work and to get a replacement when my cable snapped one day. My shifter lever broke off on the column one time in a parking lot on a hill one night after work and I had to keep my foot on the brake while I undid the engine cover. I managed to get my L shaped tire iron within my reach in the cab and slid it into the shift linkage to get it into park. I was then able to disconnect the linkage and secure the iron into the fork. I drove it home that way in below freezing weather. I made a new shifter lever from one I took off a 2004 GMC Envoy in the junkyard. Writing this I starting to think.... If someone wants me to do some videos on my van give me a like XD

Sandro is a cool ass dude. Cracks me up every episode. Donut struck gold with Angelina and Sandro. (Keep them coming) 🙌🏼 SANDRO FACE STICKER STAT, FOR THA BOYS, and ZIPPY TIES merch STAT! Make it happen donut!!!!

Y'all struck such a nice balance in this video, Miss A the Shop Teacher living up to her name and Sandro's delivery being just perfect. I really click quickly when I see either of them in the thumbnail

I've done a few dodgy repairs to get by over the years: * Hose clamps and drink cans to fix a split exhaust * Hose clamps and some coolant hose offcuts to cover a hole in a metal cooling pipe * Zip ties to hold the shifter cables in place after the boot that holds them and lets the cable slide tore. * Jump pack in place of the battery to get it home when it kept dying * Terminal block to adapt stereo wiring * Stockings as an airfilter on a carby * Manual floor switch to bypass broken headlight relay Im sure there is stuff I cant think of right now. Edit: OK that carrier bearing hose fix is amazing.

Angelinas knowledge and ability to convey that to others is astonishing !

These two ARE the Crew! I see Sandro and Angelina, I hit 👍. They do not disappoint!

Angelina herself is doing better on every vid she joins in. The way she explains every bit has a fun twist. Id want to attend her class if I could

I have a radiator hose that rubs on the frame rail so I wrapped the hose with layers of duct tape. 2 years later, it still works! 😅

On my 1982 Goldwing with sidecar, my Pull-throttle cable end snapped off, going uphill, passing a semi. Having the throttle immediately cut off and managing to coast over to the side, then remove the carbs enough to connect the Push-throttle cable in it's place was real fun since all the throttle cables have custom ends on them designed to fit nicely into the controls and hold them in place. The "im just gonna ride home tonight" turned into "guess im going back to that last campground" by the time i got that swapped over. If i'd had a tiny set of visegrips with at the time, i would have tied or taped them to the throttle and would have been on my way. Got those in the trunk now, along with a replacement cable set.

Angelina’s vast knowledge and ability to break stuff down on the spot is amazing, much love

OMG every time Sandro is censored with a car horn my dog loses his mind barking at the door and it's actually really adding to the experience of how funny this video already is.

The broken cable @ 1:20 ... i have DONE THAT in an old Bedford van ... only the cable was so short, that I had a friend sit on the floor, and pull the cable, while I was driving ... well, we got home at least. 🙂

Wait a second, I remember that episode of MacGiver. That's a 1970 Volvo 164, and thats a washer fluid hose he's squirting fluid in the master cylinder with! Never noticed that until now...those cars have pretty big hoses with braiding over them for the power steering! Dang TV shows!😅

sandro is an absolute gem lmfao

Angelina makes the animators earn their keep, I don't think there was a single clip where her great explanations weren't paired with an animated diagram 😂

All of the mechanics you have shown are great in front of the camera and know what’s they’re talking about! Love this show!!

Angelina & Sandro are THE best two people on the mechanic reacts series

can yall hire these two for the channel? they are great

Angelina and Sandro is a killer combo

Best Duo on this channel so funny and i really like the insight on all of the videos. Such a great show

I learn a lot from just listening to Angelina I could probably listen to her talk about cars all day

these two are such a vibe. other dudes are cool too, but there's something about this combo...

Guys, this series is a masterpiece. Don't stop it, and with Angelina and Sandro. Tks

The one jury-rig fix I've done was using a large paper clip to reattach my throttle cable to my 1986 Cutlass Salon's carbeurator. This was in 1995-96. The clip that was holding the cable to the carbeurator broke when I was in mid-turn. It was enough to get my car to the shop for repair.

I love yalls videos, on all channels, keep it coming!!!

I just love Angelina's explanations, she looks like a very good teacher. I'd love to attend her classes

Listening to Sandro and Angelina explain things makes me feel good about what I've learned over the years. I know exactly what they're gonna explain every time. I never went to school and learned on the job. I always felt slightly inadequate in the field but they make me realise how much I actually know and I feel like that's a special ability in its own they provide.

I broke a clutch cable on a bike and used a vise grip on the end of the cable to get going again. Rode it through Vancouver traffic to get home, then replaced the cable. I've also definitely had to jumper a few starter solenoids. One was a similar old ford pickup with a broken linkage in the column, and I ran a wire to a pushbutton in the dash to fix it. 15+ years later and it still works.

When I was a kid fishing with my dad the belt broke on his old '71 F100 on the way out. This was way before cell phones, 5 miles down a gravel road which connected to another 10 miles of single lane country roads before even getting to a highway. He used trotline for catfishing, wound it around the pulleys and drove it 45 min to Autozone and bought a new belt. I've also heard shoestrings work.

Angelina and Sandro for the win. As always it’s an instant watch when either are on the thumbnail. Great stuff y’all

These two are the best guests you have on this show, I love seeing them react.

Another great improvised belt hack is the elastic waistband from some pantyhose. Works perfect to get you home if you don't keep a spare belt in your car. Route it to run through the crankshaft pulley, alternator pulley, and water pump pulley and you'll be golden. Just gotta strong arm through the no power steering until you get home haha.

That first clip, done that with various rope, to get alternators running, after throwing a belt. We where young and broke, belts (not cam) ran until they fell apart. This is from way back, when the only electric motor was in the GFs drawer

Sandro cracks me up man. What a great find.

one of my favorite channels - kinda hit or miss lately with the donut channel but feel like every one of these videos puts a smile on my face without wanting to skip any of it.

Back in the 90's when we were dating, my girlfriend (now my wife) was driving a beater Vanagon. The throttle cable snapped while she was driving up a hill, so I bailed over the back seat, pulled up the engine cover, and ran the throttle manually all the way home. I earned some SERIOUS mechanic cred that day.

Yall make me happy everytime.

I’d love to see Sandro and Angelina guest star in one of the Donut challenges where they challenge someone to fix a car. Could even work them into it and say any time you ask their advice it’s -10 mins or something

I love when Angelina goes into Teacher Mode. 'Splain it to the people! She and Sandro continue to outshine the regular Donut guys...which is saying something. This is the best Donut content since High-Low, IMO.

LOL I had my hood pop up while driving. Sandro is absolutely right -- it slammed on my windshield then bent back on my roof! These guys know what they are talking about! 💯

Sandro can't go one sentence without cussing, authentic mechanic right there 😂

I gotta say, I love watching Angelina and Sandro do these RMS. They're down to earth.

I'm a simple man, i see Angelina and Sandro anda like it immediatly

For the wipers (9:50 or so) I remember my first car I got at 16. 2001 dodge dakota sport. Little black truck just like I wanted! A couple years down the road my wiper motor blew so I got a new one, and the switch blew after that so I got a new one as well. Both ended up working fine, but the new switch was being finicky with the wipers! So I wired a little lever switch to the motor, and put a battery in the motor. I’m a pilot, so I was already familiar with it. Sorry if this was hard to read, english isn’t my first language.

A good friend of mine picked me up years ago in his VW Squareback. The throttle cable had broken and he was waiting for a new one. He did the same thing the guy in the van had done. He removed the engine cover in the back of the car and ran a string from there to the front and was using the string to work the throttle. This car had a manual transmission, so it was quite a feat of coordination. I couldn't believe it, but it worked!

Angelina explains why some of these hacks work and Sandro has put some of these hacks into practice. A perfect combo.

I love how Angelina is perfectly educating about the stuff done in the clips and Sandro is just cracking jokes lmao

I had an AMC Pacer Wagon. Pushed it too far with a failing U-joint. The U-joint cut loose on the freeway. I got it over just in time to have the driveline fall out on the shoulder. One of the caps was still attached by the saddle clamp. The other was missing. I wrapped a piece of thick hard plastic around one of the stubs of the U-joint and replaced the missing cap with a Craftsman six point 3/4" socket. I shoved the plastic into one side and mounted the socket on the other. It ran surprisingly well. It got me home and I fitted a new joint the next day.

Haha I've literally had to drive my motorcycle home with the exact setup before. Broke the clutch cable, walked to the walgreens down the street to buy a set of pliers, rolled the clutch wire around it, and drove the hour back like that. Worked great to get home!
