[@jimoliver5758]

My father was in the automotive business for 40 years. I honestly believe the only way to make good money is to run your own shop. I enjoy your videos Jimmy and I can relate to your struggles. Keep rowing my friend

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Great point! Some day I just might do that, but the years are flying by lately.

[@oldbiker9739]

Paul Harvey , I loved his FREEDOM TO CHAINS talk .

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Good stuff!

[@brucemcneice8559]

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Bruce, hope your day is awesome too!

[@dangleebols]

[@guyconnell2250]

Gotta love it. Jimmy jammin Black Sabbath on his way to work!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Oh yeah! Pandora Metallica radio every day!

[@redcarbon4395]

Torqued at 232 BMW dirty cabin air filters. I should claim a tire shake on my truck that you never worked on because I watched this video. Thanks Jimmy! Hope your day get's better tomorrow. Tomorrow and in the next video. The joy of having a subscriber behind in watching videos. Twice the goodness.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks, I really appreciate you watching all these to catch up!

[@Brian-nf6bt]

Never mind Jimmy keep rowing you are doing your best

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Brian!

[@johnn2557]

How many of you know who Paul Harvey is/was? I remember as a kid hearing him on the news radio AM station out of NY, WOR 710.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha according to my analytics only 25% of our community knows who he is firsthand. ;)

[@mph5896]

I own a BUNN coffee maker I purchased based on his review in the 80's.

[@charliec.3347]

I heard it chime and throw the code when you popped the airbag off at 18:26.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah it got mad, I should have followed directions. When you’re frustrated, best to take a break. But I knew the customer was waiting. We made it work!

[@tom535]

I'd be a little scrambled as well after the mess you went through Jimmy your still the best.. FROM TOM..

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Really appreciate that Tom!

[@bryanalbright3019]

In N.C. a "BBQ" is chopped pork. A grill is a grill. You had grill troubles. 😅😅😅.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Hahaha, truth.

[@tombeilman5579]

Hate it when I have to fight the BBQ

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man it gave us a scare. Didn’t know pellet grills could explode (loud bag forced open the lid) if not maintained enough. Now I know, clean every use. ;)

[@tom535]

OMG,, wow that was so much over kill!!!! Hat's off to you Jimmy thank God the wife Owns a Toyota,, that is crazy un real.. again Jimmy you are the best.. thanks for showing how it works.. FROM TOM..

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Really appreciate you Tom!

[@warrantyvoid100]

Thanks for the video Jimmy! I fixed up a 21 inch Honda mower today, probably not worth the time it took but once you're a few hours in it gets hard to pull the plug. A good result in the end anyway, the motor was about the only thing that didn't need some love.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Right on! That is how you do it, spend the time if you have it and save some money when you’re able!

[@NikHimself]

Hi Jimmy. Sorry for the drab start to the week. I also get quite grouchy when I spend time spinning my wheels instead of being productive and make money. No need to apologise for that. It is only human after all.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Nik, it was a rough start to the week, but it all works out by Friday! :)

[@MitchGaar]

You handled that bad day at work, way better than I would have Jimmy! It is so wrong to not get paid to replace bad new parts! Not your fault they are bad! I think shop owners should pay maybe a lower rate but at least something for you to do the job again, because they got aftermarket junk! Ok I am done now!!! lol hang in there my brother!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Mitch! They do pay me, I was only frustrated that it feels unproductive for everyone. Customer, shop and me to be doing that same repair over and over. :) Appreciate you looking out my friend!

[@MitchGaar]

@@JimmyMakingitwork that’s cool they paid you, I know a lot of them do t! Seems like a good shop where you work! Just another typical day in the auto repair world! lol

[@Sand-man1124]

Jimmy your videos are always worth watching. Appreciate your effort.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I appreciate that!

[@on-site4094]

Bmw are amazing vehicles there just not for me all that just to chance the cabin filter ‘ Jimmy didn’t your mama tell u there’d be day’s like this as long as they don’t turn into weeks Keep on living the dream ✌🏻

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Good point, haha thank you!

[@kathysexton4554]

Always worth watching Jimmy! Thanks for the video, have a great day!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Glad you enjoyed it, you’re awesome!

[@AutomotiveEvangelist]

JImmy, I've been driving BMWs for almost 30 years (and always do my own work...) Anyway, you have to disconnect the battery when working on the airbags. Otherwise you get a code because the module will still be awake when you have the door open. Also, raw dog is slang for sex without a condom...

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, that is correct. I just didn’t want to do window learns and clearing codes seemed easier. Probably best to disconnect the battery like the instruction say though. :)

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Another Great day in the shop!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Thanks Scott!

[@jefffch]

You're absolutely right about Chinese parts. The U S is not a country it's a corporation. Corps want very cheap, to sell for a good profit and China will make it very cheap. China also makes good products but it's all about money.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I’m not sure about the corporation thing, most like profits and not too much debt, haha. But yeah I agree.

[@giggiddy]

The US is very much a country that has many corporations located in said country. Unfortunately, too many of the corporations become to influential.

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

Paul Harvey is a legend just like Jimmy. Wow you had a day like mine. They are not easy when you’re videoing for other. As Bob Marley says “Don’t worry,Be Happy “ see in the morning Jimmy -Spanky

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

So true, sometimes I want to put the camera down and just knock stuff out, but hate to disappoint anyone with short videos. Always a work in Progress! :)

[@shanestrains2849]

Jimmy I hate seeing you struggle, but it helps me to know that I'm not alone. Not paid enough to do what we do. These last few weeks for me have been comeback after comeback, and other BS! Keep Rowing!!!!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, I prefer not to even show it, but I know it’s real and most will know they are not alone. Thanks, keep rowing!

[@jamesu]

Remember, your AWESOME!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

You too!! :)

[@imbowser]

is rob the owner?

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Service manager. :)

[@samrugtiv3839]

Butcher shop and 2 bit parts.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Boom!

[@mlieser1230]

BMW seems to love overcomplicating things.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man they can make some things complicated for sure. Great driving cars, but I struggle with them. My son loves them. lol

[@ToddMcDonald-zh4ym]

Jack Nickilson smile. Blue point mirrors overrated, bought a good set off Amazon, they work great for the price. German engineering is overkill. BMW=broke my wallet. Good video. Keep rolling with the punches.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Haha thanks very much Todd!

[@giggiddy]

Too bad the owner of the bmw thinks the glossy interior cleaner is the way to go. Cant stand that high gloss armorall look. Especially in a car that comes from the factory with a satin or dry look.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Yeah, I like clean interior, not shiny. I suppose some think a shiny dash boards look good, not us, :).
