COLD, FRUSTRATED & WRONG PARTS AGAIN! A Week In The Life Of A Mobile Mechanic | Kerbside Weekly EP25

[@andy2a2m]

no idea how 1 person can handle calculating business expense & income, customers booking & queries, order & collect parts, working in rain & snow & wind, and so many expensive diag tool and power tools, not to mention you film and edit videos. Just out of my mind.

[@mossiejonas8534]

and with replies too..!!!!!!!

[@stefanobio7045]

A mobile mechanic is very demanding as you're working outside in all weather conditions without a ramp, crawling around on your hands and knees and laying on your back, how many old mobile mechanics do you see?

[@carvanplace]

I was a self employed sparky like you. 7 days a week...even on holiday I was getting calls.. at mynoeak had 3 vans and 6 guys working for me. Roll on 10 years later and messy divorce, ex took nearly everything with her new man Now I work for a housing association and do my passion of repairing cars from auction as part time hobby/job.👍👍🙏❤

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Anyone who works on cars as a hobby or enjoyment must be mad 😂😂 but fair play mate 👍🏼

[@bennewland3933]

Ironic the sparky van had a bad earth 😂

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

I know 😂😂😂

Top work Kerby, great to see you keep a smile on your face, even on frozen days !! what a great channel, love watching the vids, that Jenson looked a bit tasty tho.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Really appreciate that and glad you enjoy the videos👍🏼

[@Ed-ToyotaEnjoyer]

Another awesome video dude, keep it up King , the struggle never ends 👑

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Thank you sir 🤝

[@yueru33]

Nissan are definitely on another level to the other main dealers when it comes to customer service and treating you like a normal customer who's buying parts and asking normal questions.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah very impressed

[@derbyjohn972]

Brilliant channel Kerby 👍🏻. So interesting in what you do in the week. Been binge watching all weekend 😂

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Haha brilliant, glad you’re enjoying the videos 👍🏼

[@jamescollins6210]

When you are a good honest mechanic you'll never get home at 5pm

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

I feel guilty sometimes if I’m done early

[@michaelthompson6885]

Anyone that enjoys watching mobile mechanics earning a living the hard way needs to be watching Kerby and Marvelous Lara, these guys are top notch and very entertaining along the way.

Definitely a handy addition

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Good video kirby hope your ok mate very well explained thanks for sharing that information 😊

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Nice one 👍🏼

[@SimonShort-p5w]

Great video, nice to know it’s not just me that things go wrong for . Wrong parts is a regular thing these days, but I try to look at it that the person behind the counter is only using the info they have to hand so not there fault either. Keep up the good work and stay warm, I’ve got several battery packs for my heated body warmer and make sure they all charged ready for those cold days.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

I think I’ll need another few battery packs too now you say that actually mate 👍🏼

[@Dunc121]

Enjoy your content, Kerby. Keep it coming. You have to be the most honest mechanic I've seen here. Merry Christmas.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Thank you very much, hope you have a great Christmas period 👍🏼

[@TheRepairman1978]

I feel your pain i am in between still working for a day to day employer but do private out-of-hours ...working very long hours the joys of being on demand 😂😂😂

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Go totally self employed you’ll never look back

[@GedNEUK]

Great channel & content mate. Always enjoy watching. The strange thing is I've been watching your vids for ages, just noticed I wasn't subbed (typical me!) 😂 tbh I think it's first time I've even commented. Anyways as you dabble in car dealing a bit you should drop Shifting Metal or Car Dealer Pro here on YT a message & get on their podcast about the highs & lows of the motor trade. Good bit of networking & I'm sure the viewers would love to hear about your experience as both a car dealer & a mobile mechanic. 👍

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Glad you’ve finally subbed 😂 and yeah not a bad shout that 👍🏼

[@sprautos]

Come on we need an update on the SL 😊

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

👀👀 what SL 😂😂I’ve almost forgotten about that thing

[@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491]

That VW crafter has turned into a right money pit 😂

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Not tooo bad tbf, all part of owning a older vehicle really

[@RonWandersOff]

I do love watching these videos. I mostly work on my own cars but yes the last week has been terrible for weather but you throw on a few layers of clothing and you just get to it. And yes, I’ve had my fair show issues with parts. Be mindful of buying eBay “new” parts like brake calipers as the returns process can be sooooo frustrating! If time allows a rebuild kit just gives you peace of mind there will be no come backs

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

I very very rarely get parts from eBay for that reason

[@P963_21]

Cold weather bad enough at home mate working on a laptop still got to put extra layers on to avoid heating on all day up full. But working outside no siree so kudos. Could you in the winter switch to a garage mechanic where people can come to you except for total breakdowns?

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

I sometimes wish I had a office job in the winter but then I just work a little quicker 😅 the garage is a little bit out of the way, I do bring some work there though if it’s too wet and windy, the cold I just get on with it👍🏼

[@user-ox4eu3xi3s]

that tt.. the joint wouldnt go back on i imagen because you muschroomed the end, even if not visable, enough to stop it going back into the hub.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yes most likely 👍🏼

Self employed mobile mechanic. 6years in. Only now I'm getting time to myself. No weekends. Work is regular enough to relax a bit. Lol😂

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

6 years good going mate 💪🏻

[@MX5MAN4]

nice one kerby i can see how stacked out you are!!......one thing i got that neck torch the other week (JML FROM ASDA) for use around my car and house and its brilliant!!

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yes mate so good for the price 👍🏼

[@davidbonnett5441]

Now working double the hours, albeit I get to sleep at night instead of working.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Always a bonus being able to sleep at night hey 😂

[@redzed40]

Great video

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼

[@Crazy-Caveman-qh2dz]

That Jenson looked amazing. Its always great to see a car of its age still on the road today. I can understand why you want to wait for black friday for the DJI pocket 3 as i looked on yahoo and fell off my chair when i saw the price. I do want to buy a jack like yours though because they seem to lift slightly higher than the standard ones. Hope you and Mrs Kerby have a great week ahead

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Not many left in the world, think he said about 9?

[@OgKroniK]

Next time when you have to swap out a belt tensioner/idler, get the whole kit and do it once and for all. Saves time and money for both ends. Atleast that's what I always do

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

In hindsight yes but just got what customer asked for this time around 👍🏼

[@adrianmassey6673]

Have you tried using one of those induction heaters instead of gas? The mobile guy I use was raving about them

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

I keep looking at them thinking I should probably get one to be fair

[@KCMoloney137]

I’ve had the same issues last week, all parts wrong, wet, cold and shit haha. Us mobile mechanics have it rough

I really don't know how you cope with everything doing everything to run your business and the head aches with fixing some vehicles and getting the right parts and working out in this weather fixing my own focus MK1 is enough for me but it's simple for a 20 year old car and it's only 30 thousand miles and its solid for a ford but I can do everything including the welding just takes me longer now as you can understand mate

I don’t know either 😂😂
