Another Shop "Fixed" What Wasn't The Problem. Honesty & Integrity Should Be #1 For Any Mechanic

[@deckgun31]

Story Time with Kenny WOULD BE AWESOME! It’s a great way to learn, and be entertained. Thank you for all you’ve shared so far.

[@parickaz]

could make a 2nd channel...stories with kenny...either way, i'd watch

[@petemoore8923]

Me too.

[@wayneowens4322]

Me too

[@wendwllhickey6426]

People are stupid and try to get a free repair.

[@glennfields8121]

I believe that stories on a Sunday night is a really good idea. I have watched the number of subscribers increasing since I first started watching your channel and a lot of your success is your communications skills. You would likely see a jump in the number of viewers yet again. You keep it enjoyable as well and I always feel like I am learning.

[@tonywestvirginia]

He is a great tech.

[@berty1422]

Nice Fix Kenny and a good story. You could tell a story at the end of a vid like you just did, as a sign off. That would be like a bonus to the mechanical stuff.

[@northpoint1039]

YES! I would love to hear your stories!!! BTW -- The lady complaining about her honda at the end of your video - Send her to the people that did that AC compressor replacement :)

[@dougngwenlawson3886]

Excellent job as always Kenny and I hope you get your new place soon because you will always have business and yes tell us your stories.

[@jackfuhs9998]

Good job not many honest mechanics like you around anymore love your videos

[@philliphall5198]

I agree and don’t go to a dealership period, I’m retired and other mechanics are telling me how they see the customers being ripped off badly and doing work and parts not needed

[@joen220]

Great work, I enjoy your videos. I learn something new on everyone of them. Thank you

[@maddydog]

Yes I definitely would want to hear your stories !

[@thomasseigler8875]

Absolutely... short " Tales from the shop " would be interesting to hear. Opens a chance for others to share theirs too. Great video

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

Storytime with Kenny sounds great. I`ll bet you have some real zingers.

[@wayneprice1041]

Yes I'll take the storytelling session thank you

[@nickg9021]

Story Time with Kenny would be EPIC !! LOL

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

I like stories. Thanks for the video Kenny great job fixing it.

[@haroldlamble5163]

Dude you remind me of my brother in law he's good with his hands plus he'll make you laugh just like you. Good job thanks for helping the lady out it's nice to have a trustworthy mechanic even nicer a friend.

[@bradmarcum2927]

Another good one Kenny. Cant wait to see what your new situation will be. I’m guessing you’re going independent with your own garage.

[@24roughing76]

I let the ads play without skipping. I love this channel!

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thank so much 😃

[@gerryclarke5265]

Yes I would like to hear some of your stories.

[@damnusename]

Thank god I'd just swallowed that mouthful of drink....."My Honda won't start!" OMFG.

[@thomasculligan4348]

That is an awesome idea. Yes, let’s please hear this. The stories with Kenny would love to hear it!!!

[@flight110]

Story time videos would be awesome! 10-20 minutes same as most your regular content. I can only imagine the things you've heard.

[@Chr49]

Hi Kenny i like your channel I would really like to hear more of your stories.

[@barrymccullar7934]

Yes. Please tell stories. I love em. Keep wrenching

[@rodneybrand8521]

I would love to hear your stories..

[@denniseaton3215]

This should be a mandatory must watch for all dealership mechanics!

[@carsten4594]

I'd love to hear your stories. I used to own and operate a front end and brake shop and I've got a few myself.

[@Edgarh71]

Yes, i would also like some stories. I really like your content too.

[@chrislee6377]

i know this was an easy fix for you kenny with your experience but some garages just want to rip people off at some point they need their garages shutting down its hard to find an honest and trust worthy mechanic like yourself keep up the good work

[@davidpinnix7446]

New sub, that story has me beat! I rebuilt a 5.7 l injection pump, customer complained that ever since you rebuilt the pump, when they turned left, the radio quit working ! This was in 1979! Thanks for the video

[@vehiclenanny]

Hell yeah, story time with Kenny! Sounds like a good Friday night topic.

[@preethamkumardh1115]

Hello from India 🇮🇳 Love watching your videos.

[@fsaenz34]

I prefer Knock-Knock Jokes and limericks to shop stories but your videos and tips are great.

[@petepeabody8905]

Kenny, it's nice to see how well you treat your customers by checking everything. You know how ignorant most people are mechanically that bring you work. That's OK because it keeps your bills paid. Great job as always..Pete

[@MrZookle]

I would trust Kenny with all our vehicles, knowledge and ethics, excellent. Please start the stories!

[@ronaldlake6305]

I would love to hear your stories. Love learning from you.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Thank you for watching!

[@Dusty_Roads]

Yes!!! Tell us stories. That would be very entertaining.

[@oldbiker9739]

Saturday story time is good Kenny , I'm all in .

[@Bertuslouw76]

I always take pictures with my phone when I’m dismantling stuff, especially wiring. It could happen that certain parts I need are out of stock at the parts store and when they finally arrive, I could go back to the pictures on my phone to refresh my memory. 😂

[@mikerawaillot9343]

First off, love the channel. And yes, I absolutely think a weekly storytime video would be a great idea.

[@boomer_bob6493]

Kenny, a couple of years ago a friends mum was having trouble with her Ford Falcon (yes I'm Aussie) going into limp mode. She had it to 3 different shops, the transmission was rebuilt twice and still not resolved. So being a retired mechanic my friend asked if i could have a go at diagnosing the issue. It took me all of 5 minutes to correctly diagnose the alternator was failing under load and causing th3 voltage to drop below what the ecu was happy with. So I fitted another alternator and to this day it still hasn't let her down.

[@derekhobbs1102]

Lucky her car didn't the typical milkshake in trans from failing radiator. My dad's BF has the engine light on permanently for last few months, but we don't notice anything wrong with it, so keep driving.

[@boomer_bob6493]

@Derek Hobbs obviously you didn't read it very well, it was the alternator not the radiator.

[@derekhobbs1102]

I read it just fine, but AU onwards Falcons and Territorys have bad reputation for trans failure caused by radiator.

[@FishingLuhrs]

Story time would be awesome. Anyone that has done whatever job or long enough will have them. I know I have some good ones. Would love to hear yours.

[@DzevatS]

If you want Kenny to give us some good stories, give me a HELL YEAH!

[@GNX157]

Also with the belt, before you remove it, put a directional arrow on the belt showing it’s direction of rotation before removal and make sure to install going in the same direction.

[@ACDC5540]

Wut

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

Great point! I will note it on the next video when I have to pull the belt off.

[@davidbates7322]

Yes I would love to hear stories.

[@guyfranks4354]

Hey Kenny, from late 2007 until Feb 2018 I lived with a friend off the grid. In order for me to read after dark, I used headlamps. I wore 3 of them out over the years. After about 6 months of wearing them every night the elastic bands would stretch out. I tightened the headbands up with a safety pin and used them until they worn out. By the way, my hat size is 7 1/8.

[@kenc.9067]

I'm a tradesman and big headlamp user (basic, $15 ones from Hone Depot) and the elastic stretching out is super annoying. I wish they sold replacement bands.

[@glennfields8121]

You are a good man Kenny. Nice video with excellent tips along the way. You really are about helping others, very commendable. Your honesty and integrity speak volumes about who you are as a person.

[@brad6665]

Glad to see that you can actually find the source of grinding noise, rather quickly. and fix the clients problem. the other, so called mechanic/ tech, needs to go back to wrench school and learn how to avoid come backs. Can't blame the lady for not going back, I sure wouldn't.

[@philliphall5198]

Dealership mechanic are told what to do and they just do whatever there told because of very low pay and they know shop boss will starve them out if they don’t

[@brhyno9752]

Great video. I work in parts for a dealership and I cannot tell you how often the techs will price out all kinds of stuff not related to the customer concern or try to play “parts darts” to fix a problem then act like what they replaced needed it but also needed other stuff. Glad to see there are still some good technicians left. God bless.

[@kevinritchie9227]

Stories! Either at the end or as some have said, at the end of each video. Looking forward to your new adventure. Hopefully everything is good with the guys you work with now.

[@rongraham1730]

Nice to see you point out to check for pulley match. Learned this the hard way on an ac pulley I changed for a bad bearing. Turned out a different depth(a/m) so the pulley moved closer to the motor. Initially nothing than a squeal. Turned out where the belt went from the ac pulley to the crank pulley the edge was now rubbing at the engine oil pan edge. Needed OEM pulley and redo and I hate redo's😂. Love your channel and I would definitely watch Kenny's story time.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

I'm glad you worked all that out. Thank you for your comment & watching the channel. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@ricksfixit8577]

I vote yes for stories!

[@jeffreyhawkins9579]

That’s hilarious about the Durango and the Honda! I would love to hear a story time with Kenny!

[@michaelszczys8316]

One of the main reasons I never became professional car mechanic was because of too many of those occurrences while still in high school. Since you fixed this my other thing is broke and it's all your fault. Plus too many repairs to peoples cars costing ME money. I said screw this and became a welder.

[@dougschenck976]

I'm a carpenter for 42 years working in people's homes, boy could I tell you stories

[@lesterscroggins]

Like the channel I have been a mechanic for twenty years glad to see an honest man out there

[@hazeljohnson6396]

Story time with Kenny...............can't wait............

[@claudiolorenzon1997]

Yessir onboard with the story times!! I'm an industrial refrigeration tech story's are always a blast when the boy all get together lol.

[@Pantherman1979]

Storytime sounds like a video I would gladly watch. Got a few stories myself, but never a customer that claimed fixing one vehicle broke another.

[@michaelhammond3069]

Thank you for sharing your work. It’s nice to know there are people that still care about there job.

[@genedunn9283]

Story Time with Kenny? Heck yeah!!

[@Moultrie31768]

Great video. Stories of your experience would be great.

[@regcrompton2006]

Amazing story, I was mechanic working on a large fleet of delivery vans a driver came in the workshop and reported his van was not charging, I checked it out and found no charging fault, he came back the next day and reported the van was still not charging, I told him there was nothing wrong with electrical system to which he said no no it’s not charging up hills 😂

[@philliphall5198]

Lololo 😊

[@davidrobinson4486]

Kenny, as a 40 plus year dealership master tech who always prided myself in my workmanship and diagnostic abilities, I applaud you for your ethics and straight forwardness to diagnostics! The last ten-fifteen years I had to work with a bunch of guys that had no idea what they were doing and were crooks at the same time for years. I hated that but the dealership kept hiring them, seemed they loved it cause they made them tons of money selling stuff that wasn't needed. I guess the damage control didn't offset the profits. I was glad to retire.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

It's hard to work for & with people like that. Thanks for trying to do the right thing. Keep wrenching 🔧

[@booterone1]

Can’t wait for, Story time with Kenny!

[@darwin9141]

Of course, I would like like to hear some of your ventures.

[@Oscar-kb4wf]

YES lets here the stories. that would be great.

[@collins-fy2rr]

U do a good Job thank u for doing so

[@worldtran5511]

Haha 🤣 "My Honda did not starting up" cracking me up.

[@jethrobodine9617]

STORIES..... YES!....

[@michaelturner7641]

Thankfully I just watched another video of yours so I knew if you took the belt off you could see if it still had the same problem. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I know you must be busy at your shop. But yet you still take time to do this and it's much appreciated.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank you so much for watching!

[@edfoster8128]

Story Time with Kenny would be great , i enjoy your Videos !

[@HoundDogMech]

I got Stories with Kenny Can't wait.

[@rlw3154]

It might be nice to have stories, I liked the comment about the Durango and Honda.

[@car_thief]

I love stories about cars you have a awesome channel, my friend keep the good work going. I love it you explain what you are doing that helps blind people and also a visually impaired people understand what is going on in to the mechanic stuff

[@jeffreyevens2033]

Nice work, great stories! I'd love story time with Kenny!

[@barbmelle3136]

From Leo: You are a patient man, nothing seems to bother you. I think there should be open season on Auto engineers where mechanics are allowed to beat them on sight. Miserable designs that take three hands to work on while not enough room for the fingertips on one hand. I just spent 3.6 hours fighting clips, connectors shifting the engine around on the mounts, etc to do a job that used to take 20 minutes start to finish without even raising the car in the air.

[@reddsaxxmike2865]

YES on the stories!

[@jeffbrandt6790]

Stories with Kenny!...👍👍👍...Love your channel!!!

[@marcdrouillard4055]

Hi Kenny. Stories are welcomed!!

[@kimbalharris6720]

I would love to hear Kenny stories, I enjoy your videos please keep up the good work!

[@FredMiller]

Write a book! What a hoot it would be for a Christmas for the mechanic who has everything!

[@dbspecials1200]

If the woman sues the other shop she can take your paperwork and testify to the judge that the very next shop she took it to, yours, did indeed correctly diagnose and fix her problem. there's very little mystery for the judge to unravel here and she will win that case.. as she should. and you get to be the hero who instantly identified the problem. and I think you got a new customer there. make sure you take her along when you go-go. 🏁

[@kevinmaxwell7554]

Kenny I just love the stories of customers that dont have a clue, after working in the automotive business my working career and ended up at gm proving grounds working for engineers your stories are the best, KEEP WRENCHING tommy.

[@ollimakkonen2818]

Another excellent video. No nonsense, just a straightforward following of available evidence. The story about Honda cracked me up. Been there, done that. Worked on several thousand cars during my career and like many others, have listened to the odd one or two over the 50 years or so I was involved in the repair business. Would love the opportunity to hear a selection of yours. Keep up the good work, all the best for future. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@kcsavers]

I would enjoy " stories with Kenny". I'm sure you have some great ones!

[@michaelbolton2741]

Great Scott! When I heard that...rattle(?) from the alternator, I thought it needed an EXORCIST, not a mechanic! 😲 Yes, please tell your stories. I'd love to know what you've seen. 😉

[@georgeswindolljr1980]

It’s really good to see a knowledgeable, and honest mechanic still around!!! Bravo to you sir!!!

[@abodao]

Your tips/suggestions are invaluable. Great job. Thanks, again.

[@dennisdarvishian5919]

Shotty wanna be technicians everywhere! Glad to see other techs with good diagnosis skills. Diagnosis is everything!

[@richardsauer599]

Yes! Story time would be great. Love your videos. You obviously enjoy doing quality work.

[@dennisstahl6996]

Awesome videos Kenny! Story videos would be great. You've told a few that I've enjoyed.

[@360fanboy360]

story time lets do it. never a dull moment in the car business

[@gantmj]

"Why would you charge somebody for something, and not even fix the problem." The majority of my dealings with mechanics were me (or the person whose vehicle I brought in) being charged for things that didn't fix the problem.

[@richshaffer985]

Story time with Kenny will be welcomed!

[@Billdavis1974]

Yes the stories would be awesome!!

[@c.e.anderson558]

Thanks for the Honda laugh. Keep the stories coming.

[@robertotoledo1910]

By the way fantastic job on taking care of that noisy alternator, and yeah by all means please share your story so I think those are gonna be hilarious

New Subscriber here! I would definitely be interested in hearing stories!

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

I appreciate you. Thank you so much!

[@user-ARK1547]

👍 Those qualities in a mechanic are why their never looking for work or customers, they flock to you by word of mouth and reputation of your character for being honest and a quality mechanic....👍
