I totally agree with Jon Goffinet. Wouldnt be the same without the "click" or "Ray wrench" as i call it. The "do de doo" and "gravity!". Love the videos Ray and greetings from the UK.

Do not underestimate the power of the wobbly bits

I am convinced saying “change the angle of the dangle” is a magic spell he learned at Hogwarts that makes socket wrenches function at impossible angles.

Man i even miss the " door dee doo " when he doesn't say it haha

You're easily amazed.

Better headlights so when they break down at night. Lol

There’s the other side to it… I’m an apprentice mechanic of 3 years now working at a small garage in a country town… I always conduct myself in a manner as if I was working on my own vehicle, especially during service work! Am certainly not into doing dodgy shit or ripping people off. That said, I absolutely hate it when the customer hangs around in the workshop and watches! It’s a big pet peeve of mine… Unfortunately, being that it’s a thing that a lot of the old customers to this joint are used to doing, I can’t really turn around and tell them to go away, so you just deal with it… but it’s not a nice feeling knowing you’re being watched like a hawk, knowing that they’re judging you’re every move… You wouldn’t be allowed to stand in the operating room while a surgeon performs open heart surgery on someone you know… so it’s the same deal in a workshop…(not to mention that technically it’s a dangerous environment for someone to be in that’s not been through a safety induction, and the liability if a non-employee did get involved in an accident)

I don't want people watching because they don't shut up, and keep trying to tell me how to do my job.

If there was a local mechanic that filmed everything and put it on KZfaq, they'd 100% get my business in a heartbeat.

@@GARDENER42 at least he will have some money to pay off the lawyer bills… won’t be enough but at least he will be able to buy the guy a coffee or two.. I remember my first car… When I found that my car had a rusted through rear axle I scrapped the thing. Could probably have got the parts but it would needed to have been parts from the scrapyard as it was an ollllllld car (a Vauxhall Viva… UK car) and I wouldn’t have trusted it. Edit: I scrapped my Viva in 1984 and Vauxhall stopped making the car in ‘79 so it was only 5 years later so I may have been able to find part… but back then I couldn’t look that data up… damn… I loved that car with its short throw gearbox and green paint… I currently have a 2021 Vauxhall Mokka in bright green as opposed to the dark green of the Viva.

I just learned a tough lesson, don’t drink hot coffee while reading these comments. Oooops. That’s hilarious dude

Anti Clickers, never use a torque wrench.

Or maybe update to the digital beeps.

I like 5he noodle arm torque click beep to modern for me

Heaving on a wrench and saying "Click" is ok but beware the echo "Kcilc" it may have sheared!

"Click" first seen (more than a decade ago) from elderlyiron channel, on the series 'Redneck Restorations: This Old Truck' by Jeff Bradshaw an archive of greatness.

OSHA's gutted budget is probably the reason behind them doing basically nothing. OSHA has fewer staff and less funding than OSHA itself recommends for developing countries' OSHA equivalents. They have so few resources they can't afford to investigate properly.

My truck has a slight oil leak, it's engine is getting rebuilt 10 grand, 1 week in the shop. At the end of the day, you are the driver, if your employer disagrees with you, fine. But it's your duty as a operator of a vehicle to maintain safe condition of the car, if you know it's unsafe have it fixed. It's sometimes easier to ask forgiveness then it is to ask for permission.

Thankfully where I live commercial vehicles with a registered gross weight over 10k lbs get an annual inspection. And there's TONS of roadside enforcement.

I own an 06 Chrysler Pacifica. Everytime I fix something, another thing shows itself. Good stuff. LoL And even the air filters are a total pain whilst looking SO EASY. Gonna make a lot of other cars less challenging for me in the future. ^⁠_⁠^

Sadly, I've had it happen many times.

YES TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have experienced this particular (phenomenoma) frequently!) I have later found the lost tools of other mechanics, as I have driven or rode a bicycle down the highway. I am quite sure that others have experienced the same, as a result of my misfortune...

Click!

Love the click!

That is, keep broadcasting the click, not keep it to yourself.

Preventative maintenance is key.

So true. Modern vehicles are a sophisticated computer yet people leave them out in the weather and neglect basic maintainance.

I watched as my dad neglected his cars cuz he was impatient. So I learned a bit of what to do and keep on the maintenance.

Or bolt the cooler on then do up the clamps so the lines are held steady 😂

Was the highlight of my career.. I remember seeing the cube sticking thru the roof as I was walking back to work with my gyro lunch.. “yep, the bozos did it”

I was loading a Bobcat attachment in my truck one day. Unlatch start lifting, boss comes over and starts barking to tilt it forward...No Idea why made no sense. So tilt full forward it slips off hits the ground flops about a foot from his feet as he jumps back. I smirked...asked him if his life flashed before his eyes. He replied I'm not ready to laugh about this one yet, turned and walked away. That'll teach ya to stick your nose in MY JOB LOL, you don't know what you're doin might get hurt. I got assigned elsewhere a while later so another guy had to fill in where I was.

Call me bro when you need help

I do PCs. Nobody wants to fix them either. Scrap + Replace

@@richardscathouse gosh I can only imagine

@@richardscathouse I'm sure you snag the gpus first though :)

Out of sight out of mind. I can’t physically see all of the problems with the car, therefore they don’t exist.

That’s why you stay far away from Altima’s during bad weather.

you need to understand not everyone can pay for what is actually the problem vs what they thought might have been the problem. changing out the entire suspension vs a brake pad change is very very different in price.

Main problem is the fact many people are conditioned to not trust mechanics and that every problems they talk about are made up for them to earn more money. I'm sure its true in some cases, but I would rather not risk it, because automobiles are extremely deadly, and if a mechanic tells me that there is something wrong with the suspension, steering, wheels, etc, I will have them fix it. If I can't afford the fix, Ill total the car if the fix is worth more than the car itself and get a new one. an Automobile should never be in such a state of disarray, and that's the problem with US drivers, we don't take our cars in for regular checkups and such. Even if a regular check up costs you $50 or more, it would be worth it because it could just safe lives and it will be a hell of a lot cheaper than fixing the entire car.

@@shiroikin Sure but if a car is unsafe to drive, they shouldn't be allowed to drive it. Its not only their lives at risk, its everyone on the road with them. This Box truck is unsafe, and it shouldn't be allowed back on the road until its been properly fixed. If the owners can't fix it, the best chance than is to total it and get another vehicle that is safe.

a cutting torch and a sledgehammer are my favourites. nothing can be tight if its liquid!

A cold chisel and a mash hammer has been my friend many a time for rusted bolts.

@@johnt.848 That's what my X'wife used on me. I still set of the metal detectors at my proctologits office 🤪

All true, but for me when I'm working on a new car you never know when you're gonna break something that costs 5 dollars or 500. Never hurts to be careful when you're broke lol

That's how we do it in rust country.

not too bright lol

So many companies like that. "It's too expensive to fix the suspension and the brakes, give us brighter headlights"

I would say screw the headlights and rebuild that front end before they end up killing someone when it all comes apart.

Nah, dude. Arduino vs Everything made it popular.

Moved to germany because of the army and driveways are all cobblestone here. so even using a creeper is out of the question. i had to use a piece of plywood under my jack so it could roll properly while lifting the car at my other place. new place has a concrete driveway surprisingly but the garage is too small for any of my cars to fit. great. Gotta love laying out a cardboard box to slide around on.

I bet that same boss complains about “nobody wanting to work”

You know the boss and his old lady both have 80k dollar SUVs tho. But his employees get to drive around a death trap to keep his lifestyle going.

@@TheCrustyFry That's cringey

@@debeste95 the truth isn’t easy to digest

MrP - Absolutely charge for diagnostics. That is more valuable than wrenching.

an MOT test is not a proof of safety, the test it self only proves the vehicle condition at time of test, 5 minutes later on the road anything can fail and not be a comeback to the test unless it is corrosion related, i was a tester for nearly 40 years, never use an MOT as a proof of the condition of a motor vehicle. as for the repairs required on this van they would not stop the owner driving away from the test station.

Yep, that car would have had a list of Major Fails and advisories in the UK and would not have been allowed on the road.

@@alanlawz majority of it is for safety esp when it comes to brakes and a wheel collapse or any leaking fluids

@@alanlawz _"an MOT test is not a proof of safety"_ It's proof of a basic standard of roadworthiness at the time the test is performed, and even then the tested is limited in what they are permitted to inspect (e.g. no covers allowed to be removed). I've always thought they don't go far enough, and then I see the rolling piles of scrap that are permitted in the USA...

Regards from also cold, also wet New England.

This one is close

True... The only thing they really cared about was the AC. lol. Seeing videos like this makes me happy state inspections are mandatory where I live...

5 grand worth of work, cost of repair more than the vehicle.

"I’m genuinely upset how disposable and carelessly people treat cars like this" it not the disposable car that gets me it the disposable life! of the guy coming the other way

There is a scooter we have borrowed from another shop and it arrived with the engine light on. Of course we all know that if the light is on and it still runs it must be an error and still fine, right? I'm using it trying to decipher what it is and I know now. It's fooked. Seriously though I think it's a fuel delivery issue as it keeps surging and can't keep idle and has less power than the mopeds. Engine light comes on, you get it looked at. I had a wheel bearing issue, tried to get it fixed when I noticed it but was declined a repair as they couldn't replicate it. As time went on, it was clear and the exhaust went. I only had money for one or the other, the other had to wait until the week after. I got an engine code on my car and as I have it remotely hooked up, I got a call telling me about an engine light so I asked what it is, they tell me P0500 VSS. Speed sensor. Oh, yeah, I know. I can see it not moving. Fixed that later. OEM for the win.

I’ve seen them burn up the first 5 minutes if you don’t do that

Good to know, thanks!
