A day in the life of a mobile mechanic. **SNOW Day** roadside rescue

A quick update. The Jetta is starting and running great. No issues whatsoever on the way back to Tennessee. Thanks for a job well done!

[@rwandersonut]

Got to hand it to you, you are a decent guy. Most mechanics have a very different attitude and always look to making more money, no matter what. Your approach of letting the customer decide what they want to do is admirable. However, while this is a great long term strategy, your short term bottom line will suffer. Keep up the optimism and it will serve you well. Good video btw.

[@hwbt]

That's probably minor compared to what the road salt is doing underneath.

The coldest I ever had to work on anything outside was about -30 F (not factoring windchill) and hated it. Every time I have to work on something in the cold I think about the people in Siberia working on a Ural or Kraz truck in -70 F and can only imagine how much that would suck.

I once had to replace the thermostat on my truck in -45C (-49F) and i can confirm that it sucks, especially since my hands were covered in coolant and i had to thaw them out inside every 10 minutes.

@@Anarch3y There is that scary moment when your bare hand touches against a cold piece of metal and you know its cold but you can't really feel it because your hand is that numb and cold. Its just sometimes you have to take the gloves off even though you don't want to.
