That shop is waaaay to nice for me to work in lol.

I was thinking. "what kind of Canadian doesn't stop at a hortons" then bam! hortons

good to see that im not the only one that uses my 3/8 cordless impact to snug lug nuts. thing is a beast

Awesome! I bought my first snap on 10pc ratchet set and I'm hooked! Sweet tools and really cool video!

This vid was a nice change of pace. It's nice to see somebody on KZfaq that's a tool lover that actually uses their fucking tools! Also, this makes me realize I need to slow down a tad and be slightly more efficient in the way I do shit. Sometimes I just get too wound up. Keep up the good vids!

Awesome video man. Nice getting to see some of the tools you've reviewed in action. Definitely will be looking forward to more of these!

Keep em coming! I find it interesting to see what others have to deal with on a daily basis.

Wish I had that many techs around my shop, especially in todays world lol. Good video

Did anybody else hear Terrance and Phillip when that talk radio show came on when he fired up the truck?? Haha, cheers from Northern California! Just found the channel within the last week and I've been binge watching. Thank you and please keep it up!

Fun shit, don't think I'd win over any hearts doing a video of my day job haha

Definitely need more videos like this!

Great video Joel👍🏻I am a 17 year old from Ireland and think your channel is great.keep up the good work

keep up the good work the guy in the white shirt had me rolling. I've watched a lot of your reviews on what to buy while in tech school thanks again

Wholey shit.. I am a heavy truck mechanic for a fleet and our days are very different but also quite similar, I even start my day at the same time with a tims, I've also worked that same shift, I love having 3 days off in a row every week. I was in automotive before and was offered a job in heavy duty so I started all over. I miss having a lift, everything is done on the ground with jack stands and a creeper. However I don't miss working on the general public's shit or the dealership politics/upselling. I often think about going back to automotive, but I'm probably behind now in knowledge and my 1/4" drive selection haha.... plus bending over hoods kills my back. Thanks for the vid it was a nice look into a current day as a dealer tech.

Didnt know you were a Toyota Tech nice!

Your toyota dealership is soooo much different than mine. Kind of jealous, lol. Our dealership provided toolboxes are all black. anyways, loved the day in the life style video.. do more!

Great video. very tastefully done and it did a great job of capturing what the day is like. 4 10 hour days is sweet and it makes for a short week for sure.

I love this video format. Please do more of these @ the new shop. I really think it will take your channel to the next level.

I miss working at the Toyota dealer having the hose reels from up top stupid things like that that are nice. Very very nice work man I can tell you take a lot of pride in your work that's rare these days

Hope to see more like this one!

I don't understand how Toyota techs stay alive. the friggen things never break!

Love these kind of videos, you should do more. Also, I've never seen lifts like that, they're really interesting

Hell yeah man! Love these type of videos keep it up

That work shop looks awesome

These videos are helping me out a ton. Im deciding if i want to enter the trade or not and im going to go to tech school in the fall for automotive technology!!!! Thanks!!!

I'm only a trainee right now at the moment. Watching you work motivates me to keep hustling some more. Awesome video Joel!

some clean ass floors. I work in truck shop no why in hell can keep,floor that clean

hey there Joel new subscriber here,Joe from crownpoint New Mexico...I really like ur videos,especially ur dealership repair videos...reminds me of back in the day when I use to work in chevy/Toyota dealership in Gallup New Mexico...the great old days,learned alot,got alot of experience also....had to move on cuz business was slow,wasn't making enough money/hours...so yeah Joel keep them coming...oh and I do watch the ads haha...can't wait for ur new videos.....Awesome channel bro..👍🔧

Really like the video, was very intresting. Like the way the wheels are hung on the ramps during a service. Keep up with the great vids

Stumbled upon your video. Your shop is clean and love them toolboxes. I work for BMW dealer. Surprised when you said you get deducted time if you finish a job too quick. Love the jacket btw might get one myself. Great video.

nice shop

Thanks for sharing, would love to see more "A Day in the life of..." videos from you.

I just purchased the ct761 2 weeks ago, and it's the best tool ever made up till this day

You have such a wonderful garage. Literally jealous 😅

I love trucks especially tundras and tocomas so if you ever get the chance to do this type of video again please do

Wish my shop was that nice!

Awesome video. Was curios to see how these bigger dealers were ran day to day. Love to see more just daily footage like this! I work at a mid size Honda dealer in Illinois...US haha. No rust on stuff there or what? Everything went too smooth.

Those lifts are damn sexy! I need me one of those types that goes into the ground and gets out of the way. Probably a pain in the ass to install though! BTW those crows are a bad omen haha

Jaja dog the bounty hunter! And 3 day weekends are awesome. Haven't had the opportunity to work that schedule yet. But thanks for the videos!

Dude Nice shop and sparkling clean..🖒

Loved the vid! This is actually great exposure for me because I am hoping to land employment at a dealership my own within the near future.

ah, I love the lay out of your workshop and job system/assignment. In my workshop we have four 2 posters and only two work. plus the manager never knows what's going on so the job system is f*cked

Awesome video

Wow, your dealership looks like a palace compared to mine. Wish we had that RO system as well. I'm a Ford Tech so cool to see how other dealerships of other makes run. Do more of these!

I just got hired by the Navy as an Auto Tech starting at $14/hr as light maintenance / repair tech / part's runner. The flat-rate guys only get $19.75/flat rate hour. But as a full time we get full Govt benefits. I'm ASE informally trained but not certified. I was thinking about getting the new ASE cert so maybe the full ASE techs might respect me more as I'm going in with all Snap-On tools... I saw a lot of Craftsman. It's my first auto tech job. I've been turning wrenching since I was 6 with my father who was a ASE / GM Master tech.. 7AM - 4PM with 1hr lunch, M-F. I'm using my father's Snap-on tools, he bought them early 80's, after a brief check of the date marks, oldest ones I've found is 1964... When I told him the price of them today, he laughed, "I only paid $75 bucks for that rachet new off the truck now it's $175"

oh my god great vid. Did i from 17:54 to 18:15 time in the video, the tool that i have been asking for for months? Yes it is baby. The split-beam! kick ass. woo-hoo. you sure love to go fast to torque the wheels. Ask your dealership to get a CDI Digital torque Checker. It checks torque wrenches for accuracy up to 1% ft-lbs or N-m. I know i have one. it kicks ass. thanks again. Its okay if you have a clicker wrench as well.

Love seeing you work on a Tacoma, I own one and man once you start upgrading the suspension are they a beauty!

love how your work orders come in. you still need to deal with service advisors or is it all done through the computer. awesome video man keep it up!!

Love the video cool to see other people day thanks

awesome video!!!!

new sub and new to seeing your videos but honestly thought this was bad ass and would love to see a couple more these kids of day in the life

Hey sir very nice post. And I love your jacket

Dude i love that snap on jacket!!! Ive never seen one with the high vis shit on the inside. Do you have the part number?

Moreee please

awsome video man would of like to see more of the step by steps on the some of the repairs ( i don't know why not like i haven't done them more then once lol). That trans....the noises wtf, had a dude bring me a geo that sounded like that trans was trashed when i looked in it but still man. that light bar from snap on is nice wish i could afford one but i got to hold off for a bit, and just guessing your paid by the hour?

you got to do more like this. does your shop ever get busier? That dealership looks new I'm jealous.

Wish the Toyota dealership I work at was as nice as that one

favorite part is the Tim Horton's stop in the morning..the Hip is big in my town too (Buffalo, ,NY)

Why is it, the larger and more complex the machines you work on, the less Snap-On matters. I know in schools, Snap-On sponsors automotive classes the most as a way of initial marketing. As you go up the ladder to your A&P license (meaning you are an aircraft mechanic), Snap-On is virtually not present? Once you hit heavy machinery, factory machines and air planes, the tool ego is just mostly gone. Oh well I guess, but it's a thorough reminder why I don't buy parts and avoid service at dealerships. That shop is nice, but it's a major reason why a $20 part costs $150 at a dealership and why plugging in a code reader for a minute costs $100. I'll use a local GM dealership as an example, very pretty shop. A flap actuator by AcDelco at the dealership cost $220. I ordered the same part by AcDelco from a local parts store for $30 with the same warranty. That's a wide spread, but it makes sense when you look at the buildings.

really enjoyed the video! sorta looks like your work mates are doing a lot of standing around while ur working lol thanks for the video!

love this sort of video....got to say though 3 jobs In one day at a main dealer is a very quiet day haha

Look at getting a mechanic belt, they wont scratch the vehicle. Mac tools has them in their flyer every month

Great video

Hey man great videos! Keep it up! Quick question what model was that snap on light?

looks alot better all around than a certain "stone" place to me

Hey man what brand are those black nitrile gloves you have on. they look pretty good quality! awesome video btw!

must be kinda of a bummer to clock on and then Waite for repair order? and if you Finnish a RO to quickly they take time away WTF? Also fender covers wow! iv just realized I'm a spoiled brat. keep up the good work Joel

great video joel!

Look at the Toyota newb checking ball joints haha.

ive never seen someone have 2 lifts, i work at a dealership and the only time we can double dip is if someone is sick or on vacation then we can use their lift, but thats not a common thing

Glad to see Michel Bolton jamming out at the bar to 'poke her face' at the bar. Not sure if I'd like the tires perched on the lift like that. Do they ever get in the way? I'd prolly knock them off and send them bouncing into the vehicle next to me or they'd roll out of the shop. Mother fuckin crows, ha.

It sucks leaving in the dark and getting home in the dark!!

You make great videos. Keep it up man

Is that the 14.4v snap on led light bar? How do you like it? I run the line with the 14.4 3/8 impact and 3/8 ratchet, 14.4 cordless screwdriver, 14.4 mini recip saw, and the led had held work light. Been contemplating adding the underhood light bar as well.

you should make a video of snap on torque wrenches..

Love this video. I'm a yota tech from West Monroe, LA. Been with them since 08, love it man. Just curious, do you have any pics of your personal box or have you always worked where they provide boxes? Idk how it works up there. Keep the videos coming!

Just curious what do you mean when you say get time taken away from you for punching out too early? I guess I've never payed much attention to the different methods of compensation out there for techs. I'm a tech at an independent shop where we get paid 45% of labor and we just grab tickets at will with no dispatch. It works well for us because we tend to stay plenty busy. I do work in all areas and handle most of the diagnostics/driveability as the other techs aren't really as knowledgeable with automotive electrical systems. A lab scope and wiring diagrams are just really therapeutic to me lol

Really interesting video Joel 10/10 Darren uk

Yeah get gone you fuckin crows! Made me laugh

So I have been wondering if battery powered tools are taking over air powered tools. And if the impacts like you have are better then the air and how long they last I have shop air in each bay so which do you prefer and why?

Did the dealer provided everyone with a tool box?

That transmission sounds terrible did u figure what was the issue. I think some have chains in them find of like transfer case. I bet it was worse in person. We ran a transmission on cool aid before was working till it boiled. Watched slant six run wide open for 10 min with rod knocking entire time finely blew hole in block crank was glowing red no oil left in it. Did some messed up stuff just to see what would happen. We put v8 in the duster after we killed slant 6.

You must live in Maple Ridge. Haven't seen a sweet mullet like that in a while:)

So if your service ad quotes a job at 2 hours and you finish in one the customer still has to pay two hours?

Fucking A Tim fucking Horton,s I can remember when my Mom and Dad were still alive and we would go to Canada to see relatives my Dad would stop at every Tim Hortons on the 401 to Tilsonburg,he would say he had to pee but we would always walk out with a Donut and coffee.

what Toyota Dealer do you work at? I work for Toyota in California. wish our shop looked like yours lol. I miss in ground lifts

Question: Just getting into the world of torque wrenches... That wrench is probably +450 ft-lbs on a car that probably needs 100 ft-lbs of torque on the lugs. How do you regulate the torque without a conversion stick? After taking my car to the shop I usually need to take my lugs off with a torque wrench, but I always put them back on with a tire iron cause I'm not sure how to keep from over-tightening with my DeWalt wrench... Any advice?

does your dealer provide your box and work station/hutch? looks alot different than the toyota dealer i work at haha

What about more videos of the common problems you come across on different year trucks and stuff like that!

On the massively beating Book Time... I imagine there are some jobs where you have trouble hitting book time...where a particular job you wonder WTF?? or do most of the times seem to be fair ( I know that book Time is supposed to have been done with hand tools. but a real mechanic does it with electric or air )

It looks like they provide techs with tool boxes? Are you allowed to have your own?

Good video bro!

I wouldn't be recording myself shamming at work but thats just me. Eventually your service manager is gonna use it against you and that would suck bro.

Love toyota.

Which Toyota dealer is this? Shop looks mint hahah. I work at coastal ford Vancouver.

Snap on makes torque sticks for 1/2in drive and you still torque your wheels on the ground?

first stop tim Hortons mornings are the same for me lol

Love these fuckin vids man

Hey man the yak was heavy there id be playing the air guitar too 😂😂😂

I world love to stay in CANADA
