GoPro: Life As a Mechanic

[@ksjazzman]

My grandson (4 y/o) loved this video. He is in a mechanic phase and you used pretty much every one of his play tools. Thank you for sharing this.

[@sarfaraz697]

Ron Gutierrez I hope he had fun!!

[@adrianbrogan1061]

Keep at it bud you've got a lot to learn

[@TheNikonic]

As a service tech my quick advice is when taking off the lugs, gather all 4, 5, 6, or 8 lugs in your hand and then put them on the rack. Rather than putting them up one by one. Its a lot faster

[@RyMann88]

He looks new at the point of the video, he'll learn. It's more important to do each step slowly at first as it helps build muscle memory.

[@nathandomican5890]

Haha yous are some mechanics hitting a drum from the side and resting your tools on the alloy wheels great work lads keep giving the trade and good name

[@adrianbrogan1061]

Nathan Domican ikr I'm a student and I've already learned not to do that lmao

[@godhatewatching4107]

Getting my car fixed. I could never be a mechanic because I don't know how cars work and I don't know how jean jackets work either.

[@408jesusg]

It’s wierd how I work on cars all day an come home to watch videos of this shit 🔧👌🏽

[@hiphomeschoolers]

This is awesome! Thank you! I'm teaching my son about community helpers and what each person does to help the community and this is the exact sort of video I was hoping to find.

[@sarfaraz697]

hip homeschoolers I am honored to have helped! Your being an awesome father!

[@Bassin_withaustin]

I’m 16 and am gonna be a mechanic soon

[@theyoungoutdoorsman8252]

I have a question, I'm 15 and very interested in becoming a mechanic even tho I know absolutely nothing about it how hard is it to learn to the point where you become a mechanic I'm going to start. Night classes in July

[@adrianbrogan1061]

Dylan f Hey bud I'm in a post graduate program at a local tech school and, depending on the program/class you go into and thwe insructors, it's fairly easy. You really just gotta mix book learning with hands on learning and you should be able learn the basic stuff (common maintenance, tool names and how to use them, safety, etc.) in a month or two

[@theyoungoutdoorsman8252]

Adrian Brogan ok sounds good, thank you

[@1hectorivan3]

Clean up your workspace a bit. You might not know it, but custumers pay attention and notice this type of thing. And its very un-professional.

[@Mikeyyakson]

^ this, as a mechanic I can't understand how somebody are able to work under such conditions, I take 30 minutes at the end of every day to clean my station, even though I don't get payed to do it, it brings me happy repeat customers which in the end earns money

[@quickscopemaster2444]

michal erga I get the customer part, but I would die if my shop was that disorganized. And if they treated there equipment like they do, I would die

[@thetexaschainsaw9366]

True but just because a shop is clean doesn't mean they do good work and vice versa

[@vsteele1672]

@@thetexaschainsaw9366 You are so right about that

[@cristianelvis5788]

Love it!!!! #MechanicsRock

[@lukej557]

Hey I'm thinking of doing mechanics does it suck? Haha I really have no idea what career to aim for and I can't think anything else then mechanic

[@sarfaraz697]

Luke J you can always go in and work for a shop before you go to school and see if you like it or not!

[@stackstv367]

SM Adventures how old do you have to be to work for a shop

[@elonsus9747]

TM Staxkz Tv I think you have to be 18. I worked at a shop for about 2 months last summer. I mostly did tires and oil changes.

[@vinnyintheoutdoors]

Cool video man! I know a full shop is a busy shop but take a few extra minutes to clean it up. I'd get tired of stepping/tripping over stuff. You would be surprised how more efficient you guys would be if it was all clean and organized. Instead of being hunched over on the floor swapping the cooling fans it would be easier to set it on one of those work benches. Trust me, you'll appreciate it after you've done it for 20+ years.

[@sarfaraz697]

I Appreciate the feed back man! Thanks!

[@chiefeaglebear2320]

i second that my good tech a clean shop is a happy shop and more productive and safe huaaaahh but i love your passion for the trade now tell me which way current flows in a bias circuit

[@quickscopemaster2444]

Vince Gagliardi a full shop for me is five cars up front including a old mustang and Ford that have some serious issues, and six cars out back, including a old slam van, and an impala with its engine sitting on a stand, and one box truck.

[@tricksone5163]

Is it a headcam video ?

[@itsjust.business.6156]

hope you guys are doing great :( (im just worried..)

[@Average_Enthusiast]

This is awesome !

[@Booki89]

How did you mount your go pro? Head or chest?

[@sarfaraz697]

Head!

[@TheBigDee705]

Im doing a tech coursw for cars, but im looking one that does like, putting downpipes on, would u be able to help me if uve the chance, just the name wld be great of the job thanks :)

[@2wheeledtom249]

So 2 years down the line, are you still a technician? Qualified? Update us!

[@sarfaraz697]

I am now an accountant, but am really happy that I got to learn so much about cars in those couple of years I worked there!

[@ekku259]

SM Adventures I recently changed my college course form business to a motory vehicle and I don’t know whether I want to change back once again to business, which has a higher rate of success for me?

[@sarfaraz697]

Ekku it all depends on where you want to take your degree, I really didn’t see a future for me always working under cars and needed a job that had more job security, I chose accounting because it is the best business degree there is, you get to study the business from a very in depth level, you can end up being a public or private accountant and if you don’t want to do that, you can open your own business. You can open your own business and already understand the basics being an accountant. But then again, I would advise you to work in a car repair shop and see if it’s for you, you never know if that’s really where your heart is

[@liamweare5399]

Thanks great video is this you straight out of school?

[@sarfaraz697]

Im pretty much a noob at this point haha

[@antoineroy5876]

every body pass by there once a while ;)

[@lukaskaciusis1839]

is it a good career to be a mechanic. im dont know if i should do it or not

[@adrianbrogan1061]

Lukas Kaciusis it depends on if you're pasaionate about the field! Honestly the industry is having issues with people being interested in being mechanics/technicians for many reasons but the main one being that the most common form of pay for a mechanic is through a system called "flat rate" (you should look into what that is and why mechanics generally hate it)

[@gasperajdnik5627]

I'm a heavy equipment and farm equipment mechanic

[@drhashim1786]

how to become an automotive mechanic I mean do I need to study something or just join a mechanical workshop and start an apprenticeship???

[@JoaoChimay]

S Muhammad Hashim Raza thats right

[@Davido50]

Find a trade school is best way

[@thetexaschainsaw9366]

Thats like asking how do i become a doctor do i just go to a hospital and just start giving patients shots

[@nrm736]

Hahahaha very good video, reminds me the good old times when I was a student 4 years ago. Anyway, I suspect your master told you not to keep tools on the floor or in the engine bay ;)

[@sarfaraz697]

Haha yeah leaving the tools in the engine bay is not a good idea, the only way i learned my lesson was from experience, its such an easy way to make a costly mistake!

[@FLIP203CT]

Seen a few mistakes but u learn from ur mistakes as i still do, one main thing to remember is try to stay alil organized and dont be afriad to fuck up because good techs fuck up but learn at the same time, but i usually pay for my fuck ups lol knowledge aint free and theres no financial aid in this trade lol

[@bernhardleitzinger4529]
