I watch all of you, Scanner Danner, disgruntled mechanic, humble mechanic, Eric the car guy.... However SMA is one channel where I have literally watched every video. As a professional technician myself, I gain new knowledge from all the KZbin channels I have listed. However, the SMA videos are in depth and are enjoyable to watch. To the point that now I say at work "There's your problem lady!" Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos Eric O.

I bet Eric's throat was hoarse by the end of the day. I've hosted a few meets (in bars!) and they went on for a long time with continuous technical chat. It's pleasant to meet so many technical people who are all on the same wavelength.

This was awesome seeing several of my favorite online mechanics meeting up having a blast. I had goosebumps watching the Erics talking to each other, it was surreal! I was looking for Chrisfix also in that group. I want to thank all of you for saving me over $14,000 on 4 of my cars in the past 9 years. I have become a go to novice mechanic in a short time for my church, friends and family. I also enjoy fixing cars for free due to all of you helping me with my hobby. I owe it to you 4. I just realized I do not live far from ETCG'S shop. Keep up the awesome videos.

Hey Eric, I own a 96 Toyota Tacoma with almost 300,000 miles and I kid you not, with out the great videos you and ETCG put out, that truck wouldn't be running. You guys have saved me thousands and thousands of dollars on repairs. You have given me the knowledge and the confidence to make the repairs myself and there are no words for the respect I have for you both. Thank you from the bottom of my heart...keep up the great videos!

This was great, Eric! Thanks for taking us along. ETCG has been around a long time and I've watched his videos for Hondas in the past, however, your channel was my first ever "subscribed" channel and your videos have made me re-think how I work on cars. After watching all your videos I moved on to watching all of Ivan's, Schrodinger's Box and ScannerDanner's. I've run out of free videos to watch so it's probably time I hit the SD premium and get his book but that's a bit of an investment for me still. It's your videos, though, that sparked the interest to finally get a handle on diagnostics. So, you too, are having a huge impact on people. Your videos have brought me from being a pretty good (usually lucky) parts changer (I've worked on cars for many years but some of their systems progressed over the years to beyond my knowledge while I've been busy earning a living) to now having the desire to learn the theory behind newer automotive systems and then the diagnostics that is needed to repair them. Keep up the great videos.

Hi Eric, I just watched the 2016 ETCG meet up video and concluded that you guys are the real deal. It was great to see the true desire to help people and the sincere appreciation that you have for the people that you help. Anyway, not to get to sentimental, from the bottom of my heart, and from the scars on my hands, I truly appreciate your videos. Please keep them coming, especially the ones for Acura and Honda cars. Thanks, Scott

I came to this car repair just recently and SMA has really grown on me . What I really like is how we see every thing from start to finish warts and all . Eric O's personality IMO is perfect for the this type of format , the whole thing with his family and the dog all makes the learning process enjoyable . I also like Scotty Kilmer a lot . Watching Scanner Danner gives me a headache ,(my fault) mostly because I haven't a clue to what he is talking about for the most part , but I am catching on slowly ........ as in VERY SLOWLY for the most part . Can't really say anything bad about Eric the car guy , he is good too . A big thanks to all of them for sharing their hard earned knowledge . TheReaper!

THANK YOU! It's because of your time and experience that so many people have the confidence to do simple maintenance on their own vehicles In my opinion, it's actions like these that regain trust in a profession that really needed it! You need to know that your valuable contributions have pioneered so many "DIY" videos on a whole host of topics, not just automotive mechanics! You were and ARE ahead of your time! In the end, it's these videos symbolize people helping people, wow!!! It's also something that will outlast you after you are gone from this earth! This philanthropic gesture on your part is so greatly appreciated by all of us!

Well im so freakin glad you guys have met up and that little ball joint nudge didn't create any animosity between two great guys, really enjoyed watching this meet up. I watch both SMA and ETCG religiously and have watched ETCG come up from his old shop to this great new shop and I know hes worked hard for it for some time - Im an old school mechanic that stopped going to auto school years ago and I feel like I know nothing of the gadgetry on the new cars - so I try to pick up what I can from both you guys and learn so much as do so many others, and also like Erics fixing it forward videos, helping those not in the position to help themselves at no charge is a truly noble gesture when possible, even if it does involve impossible cases like Chrysler minivans-. Good job helping others to both you guys-!

That would have been sweet if Ivan could have fixed that bobble but that could be so many things you could chase it for days eliminating possibilities. I can only imagine the campfire conversation.

Eric O, I made this suggestion on Scanner Danners awesome meet up video.....you should make a compilation video of all the times you ripped on the ball joint (yes, Vanessa O included!) and then end it with Paul's "healing moment" bit from his video. This would probably be the best KZbin video of all time. Seriously, this years ETCG meet up was some of the best KZbin moments in its history.

+Eddie Martinez I've a subber of ETCG long before I found SMA channel. I think you missed my sarcasm. Who hasn't butchered a repair job? Nothing wrong with a lil hazzing. ETCG has saved me thousands worth of repairs. He still is a good Mechanic, just like Eric O and the rest of my auto repair channels. I think every repair channel needs an inside joke, only the long time fans would get. 😂

+Garrett Martin Also I like how these guys choose not to edit out thier snafu's. It adds to realism, that these are not actors.. Just everyday guys trying to help others out, and maybe make a few extra bucks from subs. Eric O has a vid where he spent most of the day diagnosing, then traking down a new piece glass for a truck. Hours later after the repair, he showed the viewers this big ass crack in the window he just spent all day on. I kinda laughed with Eric O, being I've failed to notice an abvious error many times. Thats why we should all laugh off out mistakes/ learning experiences. 👍

I did the same thing year's ago on my friend's car and that car was fine till he junked it due to rust but the joint never gave him a bit of a problem. But i welded it all the way around.

Just wanted to say that you were very patient and handled the onslaught of questions and introductions really well. It was very clear to me, and most likely others, that you were all enjoying the meetup just as much as we were!

Eric the Car guy, is looking a bit Hollywood these days. I can see you all following suit. It looked like a brilliant day. I've learnt so much from you all, keep doing what you're doing. Would love to come over and do the meet up, from England. You never know. Thanks for all the videos.

I'm so thankful to all of you guyes: Eric O., Eric, Paul and ivan. I've learned so much, and I am still learning alot. I'm even getting into diagnosis with my own Autel Maxisys and Pico-scope. I fix my own car, my parents two cars and some friends cars. But I'm still a rookie compared to you. Looking forward for more awesome vids :-) Greetings from Norway
