A Normal Day At The Shop...

[@atrahasis3899]

A memory from childhood nearly forgotten; head buried deep in a downy pillow. The farm was shrouded in near perfect silence save that one distant, nearly imperceptible, maddening sound. Like fingernails across a chalkboard it burned itself indelibly into his psyche; the sound of mice a milking.

[@collander7766]

how is being a mechanic?

[@jeffclark5024]

Collander It’s a lot of hard work, it isn’t a job for the faint of heart. I’ve been at work an independent shop for 13 years. The variety and challenges are what keeps it interesting. I’ve done everything from flame thrower installation to engine replacement, and so much more.

[@collander7766]

@@jeffclark5024 I've always slightly idolized being a mechanic, the whole self-sustaining aspect of it at least. Although currently 'm finishing up high school, I am very interested in this field in general and would consider myself well above average in terms of car knowledge and experience for my age. My dad taught me everything I know about cars, and I'm so grateful. I do my own repairs/maintenance on my old junkbox jeep, and keep that 25-year-old beast chugging. There's just something so reassuring about the fact that if something does go wrong, you know exactly what to do on your own without paying someone else a ton more to do it. And yeah, I can definitely see it being... challenging, to say the least. Sometimes I get a bit stressed during some of the longer and more strenuous repairs, just hoping and double checking to make sure I did everything correctly, kept track of bolts, etc. And those have been relatively straightforward repairs: alternators, starters, radiators, water pumps, suspension components, driveshafts, and a *slight* bit of internal engine work but I was mostly just watching. And those are all relatively simple jobs. I can't imagine the pressure when removing entire engines and transmissions. Anyways, thank you for your insight and if you're reading this thank you for listening (:

[@jeffclark5024]

Collander My pleasure. I would encourage you to really think about if you really love working on cars as a hobby and if you can see yourself doing it long term. The sheer amount of work required and related stress can in some cases take away from the love you have for it as a hobby. I can assure you not every car will be an enjoyable experience. For whatever that’s worth.. consider all the different directions of auto repair you could go in and consider the initial and long term investment in tools and what you want/ need to be making. Like yourself I started working on cars as a hobby. I worked for 12 years before I got around to actually taking time to do a project car for myself... All that being said, it is rewarding, not everyone will thank you for your hard work but a good amount really do appreciate it and taking the time to explain things to them. Best of luck in your future endeavors!

[@collander7766]

​@@jeffclark5024 Thanks so much! Although I currently have no clue where I want to go in life, I know for a fact that I will continue to improve my car knowledge and hone mechanic skills. I can't understand how some people go their entire lives without learning how to change a tire or their oil.

Anyone who wonders how you are able to troubleshoot and repair cars needs only to watch one of these vids. Bouncing back and forth from one problem to the next, testing and verifying every repair, supervising your assistant, dealing with customers, all with a sense of humor and grace. Repairs done right the first time, all while producing high quality videos. A true professional.

It just blows me away seeing what you have to deal with in that climate. I live in AZ where there's almost no humidity and never salt on the roads, no ocean nearby. A 30-40 year old vehicle here doesn't have as much rust as a 2 or 3 year old car there. I remember the first time I was in Ohio/Michigan seeing a fairly new car where the bottom of the doors were just gone. That has to make being a mechanic so much harder! Much respect!

I am a strong believer in people having at least understanding of their vehicles, and shops are founts of experience. When my daughter bought her first car I made a deal with her: she paid for the car, insurance, registration, gas and repair parts. I would help her with all repairs and maintenance. Today she is a lot more car savvy than her husband. One day she was out with my wife when I was out of state and the car died the moment it stopped at a light and was electrically dead. She remembered one of my tips... found a hammer in the back of the car, opened the hood, had my wife hold it in the crank position, and gave the battery positive terminal a sharp rap. Vroom! In hot climates (this was Phoenix) the batteries chronically overcharge, which causes the positive plates to grow because of oxidation. Eventually the connection to the positive plate cracks and can be temporarily spot welded by putting a load on it and jamming the pieces together with a smack. Next stop: battery store.

A tip for you Eric, before installing compression fittings, always debut the outside and inside, for the outside use any abrasive pad or sandpaper to get rid of any lip, as for the inside use a dedicated deburring tool or a pocket knife to get side of the interior lip, interior lips create turbulence is the piping and could’ve entirely accelerated the electrolysis of the aluminum to brass, aluminum has an outer coating of aluminum oxide that protects itself so it is usually fine with brass for a while, this turbulence in the piping wore off the coating of the aluminum, this happens in plumbing all the time with improperly deburred piping. Copper corrodes but will actually protect itself with said corrosion

I worked in a part of the country where rust isn't a problem. Now I retired to where it does snow a little. I just replaced my front brakes (and cleaned the rears) and I made sure to remove all the rust between the drums/rotors/hubs and swab it all with antiseize. When my wife asked me why it was taking so long I asked her if she wanted it done fast or done right.

[@TheRealMikeWilly]

I been turning wrenches my whole life, and professionally for 10 years, almost 2 years ago I opened my own shop and the first funny piece of signage I put up in the customer area of the shop says "We offer 3 kinds of service. Good, Fast, and Cheap, but you can only pick two! Cheap and Fast won't be Good, Good and Cheap won't be Fast, Fast and Good won't be Cheap" the sign hung in the shop foreman's office at the first dealership I worked at where it was only ever seen by dealership employees. Some FNG in the bay next to me was given a CV axle job that booked @ 1.8 hours per side, he got one side done in 4.5 hours and a little over 3 hours in, after he'd completely removed the knuckle, the strut, and upper and lower control arms the shop foreman was bitching at the FNG and wanted me to show him how to do the other side and I told him for an 18 rack of my favorite brewskis and that sign, I'd show him how to do the 1.8 hour job in 45 minutes. 37 minutes later I was lifting the rack off the locks and lowering the vehicle onto the ground. I hated that FNG, the shop foreman, and that stealership. It was nice to be a dealership princess mechanic working in a 10 million dollar shop with every SST most people don't even kno exists.

NPT (National Pipe Thread) are the most popular type in the U.S. and Canada. BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread) is similar to NPT except there are important differences. The angle across the flanks of threads (if you sliced the fitting in half long-ways and measured the angle from root to crest to root) is 55 degrees instead of 60 degrees as it is for NPT. BSPP (British Standard Parallel Pipe) is most popular in the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It is a parallel thread fitting that uses a bonded seal ring to do the sealing.

Not many places ypu drive in with a bad cv axle and the mechanic drops what he has scheduled and fixes your car. You're a good man Eric O.

Recall on the wiper heater, the fix was to disable it because the company that supplied the unit went out of business.

I'm a tech in a very busy car and heavy truck shop I flip from side to side and I love to watch your videos like this sir I was actually just thinking wondering when he is gonna do another one you read my mind lol. I definitely relate to what you deal with I have very similar days I can't never stay on top of one job always getting pulled on top of that having to go do state inspections on trucks and schools buses that come in. But awesome content love your videos man thanks for making them make me a better tech with every video.

Just started watching your videos a couple of months ago and have really enjoyed your knowledge and sense of humor at the same time Thank you for putting out the videos

I stumbled upon your videos just this week and found them not only interesting and entertaining, but educating. My hobby is automotive mechanics and I work on my own autos and motorcycles. What intrigues me is your selection and use of tools to perform a repair. It's given me knowledge on what tools to use to perform various types of repairs. I also enjoy the interaction between you, your wife, and the other mechanic. I can't believe how rusted the undercarriage and suspensions of the vehicles you work on. You must live in a state where they salt the roads during the winter.
