One thing I'm very thankful for this Thanksgiving is my 10 year bromance with the Car Wizard. I could not own these hoopties without him. My channel has always been pretty honest showing the good with the bad, but usually the bad only applies to the many stupid things I do, or the stupid things nameless BMW engineers have done over the years. In this instance, the Wizard made a doozy of a mistake, and I was really worried and upset about my dream car (and a huge investment). Clearly, though, I was being a bit of a drama queen here. The Car Wizard agreed to handle it immediately, and even said it was ok that we make this video on the subject before I even asked. I was conflicted about doing it, but knew would be a good, honest story about the ups and downs of car ownership. It's clear many of you think I rubbed Wizard's nose in it a little too much, and you are absolutely right. He is a great mechanic, and nobody is perfect, and I'm glad to see the thousands of nice comments showing you don't think less of him, because I don't. I also understand why some of you think less of me, being so upset about something that isn't life and death. I know many people would dream about having the problems I have, especially in this current turbulent world. I totally get it, and apologize to those I disappointed. I'm very fortunate to be where I am, and I'll never forget that it's because you all watch these stupid videos.

Guys. Mistakes happen. You all know I will remedy this and make it right. I am not hurt by this video. Its an advertisement for my shops honesty. Hoovie, should we do a video to let the viewers know that we are not trying to harm one another? Still great friends.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! Always use the right lube in the right holes or it can lead to some very painful results.

Wizard looks like he truly feels bad and is upset with himself for this. It shows his true character as a mechanic. Respect to him

I swear Car Wizard seems like the most genuinely trustworthy, knowledgeable and just plain friendly car expert on KZfaq.

The wizard is a class act. It's not everyday that someone faces their own mistake with such grace and poise. Wizard, your response to this was a masterclass in integrity. Inspiring to see.

Honestly Wizards response to this would make me trust him even more as a mechanic.

15:56 - 'Flushing & Praying" sounds like me on the toilet every morning...

Wizard is such a jolly person and seeing him deflated like that in the beginning is a such a heartbreak.

The wizard owned up to his mistake right away, that's how you know you are dealing with a real man. Real men aren't afraid of owning up to their own mistakes, real men correct their mistakes or at least learn from them. The car wizard owned up to his own mistake, took full responsibility, will correct the mistake and has definitely learned from this.

The Wizard is still the man! Sh!t happens and the fact that he’ll stand by his mistake says it all.

Too much tension in this episode...it’s much better when y’all are having fun

This shows Wizard is human and not mythical being. He is human, he made a mistake but it happens. Love you Wizard my dude.

This actually makes me like the Wizard more, if that's possible.

This is just showing the importance of having a long term relationship with a mechanic you trust. These guys are both class acts and I have great respect for the Wizard.

That feeling when Ed Bullion himself calls you up to let you know your exotic transmission is going to die. And you can't do anything but cry.

I've always liked the wizard, but i like him even more now. Be kind Hoovie.

Let's all go to the Wizards channel and give him love. He looks and sounds devastated.

Dang you can tell that Wizard was super frustrated with himself. Not as peppy as usual. Mistakes happen and he reacted to it like a true professional!

I see alot of comments talking about Tyler should of just took it to a Mercedes dealer‼️ .. Listen you would be surprised the idiots that you can find even at the dealer.

The Wizard isn’t just a great mechanic, he’s a great friend as well. Tyler you are truly lucky for having him

You can tell the Wizard is sincerely sorry and pissed at himself for this mistake. He's such a great mechanic, taking care of his responsibilities.

I’m a welder and even sometimes I get burned. It’s part of being a craftsman, a tradesman. Sometimes you just get it wrong. The Wizard made it right though!!!!

“Skeeter’s Towing LLC” How properly midwestern. lol

It’s not about never making mistakes , it’s about how you handle dealing with your mistakes that shows a persons integrity .

“The wizard screwed me in the wrong hole” never thought I’d hear that outta hoovie lmaooo

I need to check Wizards affiliate links to find the knife that is able to cut the tension in this video.

The Wizard was a champ through this ordeal. He owned it. He covered it. He moved ahead. You’ve got a gem in that man, Hoovie!

The fact that Wizard stood upright and took the hit shows his character.

Nice to see the wizard beeing a fair man, admitting his mistakes and taking the consequences.

Omg I feel so bad for the Wizard because you can tell he’s truly sorry and upset such a mistake was made. I enjoy watching Him and Mrs. wizard on their own channel now. I know it does suck when someone makes a mistake on your car but to find such an honest mechanic is almost impossible.

Respect to the car wizard for owning up to his mistake .. also to act fast and tell Tyler to come back to fix his car shows he's truly a good person ,friend and tech

Man I feel really bad for the wizard he was so upset.

The wizard looks like hes gonna cry... I feel so bad for him...

6:02 The wizard taking a knee for the AMG 🤣

You can tell the wizard is embarrassed and he is so nice it hurts my heart. Glad he made it right. What a good dude

The Wizard’s an amazing person. The way he worries and helps him out in literally every way really proves that. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s the human nature, but seeing how he tries to make things right and admits his mistakes takes some balls! Don’t go too hard on him Hoovie!

I've never seen wizard so serious and worried..

This video is the definition of passive aggressive

Let’s all just be glad Wizard didn’t have to dip into the business insurance.

Tyler: Buys a perfect non-hooptie car. Destiny: Hold my fluids.

Wizard went from working on clapped out cars to pulling lambo motors out without issues. Dude has grown so much over the course of this youtube. He's a LEGEND

Tyler and David you guys are both classics and I’m glad that you represent my community so well. Newton Kansas proud!

So pleased to see such supportive constructive comments here. Refreshing. I’m glad to be part of this community.

lol I cant imagine how the wizard is feeling rn

Should've been an office scene with the Wizard looking at food stamps on his computer instead of the usual boat, vacation home, etc.

Hoovie reacted pretty calmly. Wizard looks like hes about to cry.

aww broke my heart seeing wizard like that

*hoovie two months ago* This sls isn’t going to make any videos *SLS is now just another hooptie*

Poor wizard he is such a good mechanic you can tell he feels really bad

Issues will occasionally happen but you're lucky to have the Car Wizard. You're really lucky he will stand behind it, more than many mechanics would do.

BAd Luck Hoovie and bad luck Wizard. Well done to both of you for being grown up, honest and understanding. By being that way you both walk away with smiles and reputations intact!

I've never seen Wizard look so pensive. Let's cut him some slack; no one iss is feeling as badly as him. His reputation is on the line, and he is going to make this right.

Hard to get angry at him when he singlehandedly keeps all your cars on the road.

His face while he was looking around the guys truck when he got in was hilarious 😆

Huge respect for the Wizard. He is doing wonders for the reputation of independent mechanic shops. But folks, really, Tyler being a drama Queen is half the reason we watch right. Glad to know it’s all biz as usual now.

Mistakes ALWAYS happen. We are people after all. Good thing that Wizard is taking it on him, like a real man of honor.

"Getting screwed in the wrong hole" - The story of Tyler's life

It's a relief to have a relationship with a mechanic who does quality work and corrects mistakes without hassle.

Car Wizard seems so genuine. We all make mistakes, i don't think any other mechanic would handle it as he did.

Poor Wizard. He was soooooo uncomfortable. I'd still bring my cars to him if I was living anywhere near him.

If this becomes a running joke that gets brought up like- "oh remember when you made that mistake" kind of thing I seriously won't be able to keep watching. The wizard really showed how great he is in this.

Even the Car Wizard is not immune to mistakes and it’s not the mistake that matters, it’s the solution that matters. Good to see honest content with honest emotions. No matter how good your mechanic is or how good of friends you are, business is business and it’s ok to be upset over a mistake. Anyone in this exact situation would have the exact feeling of disappointment. The higher up the success ladder you climb the longer the fall appears when a mistake is made.

Incredibly well handled on both sides. Things happen. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Mistakes happen Wizard stepped up to the plate. 🧙‍♂️

Massive respect to the Wizard for owning the mistake on camera. I have more respect for him now.

the office clip is hilarious 🤣

@Hoovies Garage Thinking out loud here, but to get back on the track of positivity (and reduction of stress carbs), perhaps this world needs an episode where you both work together to flip a few hooptie gems for some needy families this Christmas. Some feel-goodery to clear the air and deliver more proud moments. Your holiday episodes are always really touching, and definitely brings out the best in everyone involved. Your feelings on the SLS are completely fair, and it’s super brave to be honest with the 1M people watching. Wizard is a next level Jedi as a mechanic and human. That is never in question from any of us. Think of all the people who don’t want to turn on their cameras on zoom calls, and here he is working on cars with 1M+ people watching...Glad to be a sub

"Flushing and praying." My motto every Thanksgiving.

The fact the *Wizard* is taking full responsibility on this one doesn't speak of him as a mechanic but as a person. Mistakes can always happen. Good luck Wiz!

I love wizards response and way of handling this. Mistakes happen and he’s fixed basket case cars like the bentleys and yet this little thing was clearly not being careless it was just a quick mistake that could cost a lot. Of course he knows that and is a great person and is showing he cares. I admire and love that. I was a service advisor for a few years and techs would break or make mistakes and get mad at me or the situations versus being like hey I messed up here’s how we fix this. Love the way this situation is being handled 💙

Owning up to a silly mistake is something that separates the good mechanics to the great mechanics.... Humble lessons to be learnt in this video! Keep up the great work guys

Please everybody don’t give wizard a hard time for this. He’s only human too. Be grown up

Am I the only one who feels bad for the wizard? Mistakes happen, plus he’s happy to remedy it.

I'm so sorry for you, well and your wizard!! You have a wonderful attitude and you are very calm person!

Hoovie, glad to hear nothing worse happened to your gullwing, Wizard stepped up to the plate

This all happened because he didn't taste the fluid first.

Tyler: "Do you have any good news?" Wizard: "Yes I do. My yacht is running really well...." 😁

I want to say that the position of the Wizard of taking the damage in front of all net, aknowledging his mistake and repairing it. It is very professional of him. Congratulations to both of you to not put it under the carpet!! You two rock!!!

Glad your taking it easy on wizard. He’s a good dude and an even better mechanic. The guy goes above and beyond and I’m sure hoovie takes care of him.

The Wizards best magic trick is being an honest mechanic. Great guy.

There was so much tension in this video and not the usual sexual type either.

ugh! Tyler keep doing your thing! YOUR REAL FANS UNDERSTAND and WE LOVE YOU AND WIIIIIZARD! You are allowed to have emotion and as long as you both decided to post content, screw everyone else.

Hoovey, you are lucky to have an excellent mechanic, who, in addition to the big jobs, is happy to do the little jobs for you, too. Also, restraint of one's emotions is always preferable in dealing with anyone.

A Hats off to the user alerting Tyler of the mistake and saving Wizard and Tyler from grief later on.

You can tell how deflated The Wizard is here, it's a sad sight.

I totally get how you're feeling. My diamond shoes get really slippery when I walk upon the rose petals thrown in my path. So I feel your pain, brother.

The more I watch Hoovie and The Wizard, the more I know that I would genuinely like them personally, as good people who would make great friends. Their videos reveal that honest and truthful human nature that not many other content providers on YT can get close to displaying. It must come through simply from them being themselves. Fortunately for them, I live no where near Wichita (although I do come out to visit LearJet occasionally), or else they're patience would be tested by me just trying to hang out with them all the time.

At least the wizard owns up to his mistakes. Hey we are always human, he’ll make it right

The true test of a man. admitting mistakes, respect for the Wizard. "The road to experience is paved with mistakes".

I hate seeing other people make mistakes ☹️ happy thanksgiving I’m thankful for hoovies garage and the car wizard!

WIZARD your THE BEST,,, Honesty and integrity is paramount and you show it WELL DONE

This is why you shouldn't distract the Wizard while he is working.

That sounds like an expensive problem... for the wizard.

Very good vid nice to see honesty.

Never a dull moment on this channel. Thankfully you have an amazing relationship with your mechanic. 🔧 #wizardrocks

Easy on the Wizard Tyler. He stood up and fixed it and offers a warranty. He has been a good dude for you. Cut him a little slack.

I got stressed just watching Hoovies and Wizard talk about wrong fluid change. Wizard looked like he could cry any time

Dude stuff happens. Wizard has been SOLID to you for a long time. Anyone can have a mistake but finding a mechanic that stands by his work and even goes beyond that. Dude thats golden

I had a similar "we screwed up, but we'll fix it" issue with a local BMW shop a few years ago. In retrospect, it made me a more loyal customer. That said, given libel laws in the U.S., there's absolutely no way we'd ever see this video if all of the economics (including permission to "take blame on video") hadn't already been worked-out (in writing) beforehand. Thankfully, you've got two honorable parties who have mutual respect and a long working relationship--both in and out of public forums. As much as Messrs. Hoover and Long would like to cite this as a policy example for others, this outcome would be extremely exceptional (cussing or no cussing) for your average Joe attempting resolution of a negligent repair by your average repair shop. I wish this "exceptional context" was more explicitly highlighted in the video.
