In this video I hurry along as fast as I can while I fix a customers Buick LaCrosse. We are down to the wire at the end of the day and still have to knock out a 4 wheel brake job, 4 tire balance, a couple of wipers and a left rear bearing in under one and a half hours. Will it get done and done well?
-Enjoy!

The customer asks if you could have it done by 5 so you rush and get it done. Then you call them at 5 to tell them its done they say, I’ll just pick it up tomorrow. Never fails.

I HATE THAT! That happens 100% of the time at my shop. Then it sits there for 3 days plus. Then the customer will complain that you missed this and this and this. Nothing related they wanted done to it. Where I work at the neighborhood isn't great. Bunch of Catalytic converter thieves are in the area. So we gotta pull in 10+ cars into the shop to prevent theft when they do this and it was not planned on staying there makes it a headache.

The instructor emphasize two things #1 do not push old burnt ( brown )fluid backwards in the system as it can cause problems with proportioning valve and switches in the line!? #2 Never pump brakes to bleed the system and they emphasize especially disc brakes as pumping creates micro bubbles in the system! I'm 99% with your brake procedures Keep up the good work you give your customers and advise for the DIY ers!

Considering his following, Mr. O has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders to set an example, especially when it comes to safety and following specifications like torque. As a semi-retired college mathematics and physics tutor, I am especially delighted that he calls out torque specs in pound-feet, rather than foot-pounds, the former being units of torque, a vector quantity, the latter being units of work, a scalar quantity. During my 29-year career as a commercial system software developer, I always wrote code with the knowledge that younger developers would rely on my code as a model, replicating whatever I did within the code base and beyond. Accordingly, I never took short-cuts yet I became evermore efficient through the decades. And when it comes to efficiency, look at how Mr. O spreads the threadlocker using two bolts at 16:15, a great spread in half the time.

Every single time, Scotty saved the ship and Kirk came to believe and depend on Scotty's miracles. Eric O. did the job within minutes to spare and with a little help along the way.

Budda boom, budda bing! Nice job Mr. O! Some rust to slow you down, but not like the the cancer cars I've seen you work on. Thanks to Josh for the help and thanks to Mrs. O for the "guidance," humor, and dinner. Mrs. O used guidance at your in-laws and on this job. Speed and accuracy are your trademarks Mr. O. Good Job!

3.2 hours sounds about right to me. I was sometimes told that someone else charged half the time I did, but I've also heard of a car coming back with a caliper hanging by one very loose screw. It takes whatever time it takes.

20:56 It always made perfect sense to me, like you said a moment before, I don't make up the rules, I just try to follow them. If ya don't like the rules, play a different game. You're good at following the rules, a true inspiration to us all.

So much respect and admiration for this business and the family that runs it. I've learned a lot over the years watching this channel, laughed and smiled many times. I'm just a part time/hobby mechanic doing repairs and restoring old rusty Japanese sports cars in my spare time, but I love watching the work that goes on in a real shop. Keep up the awesome work Mr and Mrs O (and Josh)!
