What Vice Grip Garage Didn't Tell You About Derek Bieri
Subscribe for More!
Right off the bat, Derek Bieri gives you the heads-up: don't expect a classroom lesson from his KZbin videos. But the 1.9 million followers of Vice Grip Garage might tell you otherwise. Sure, Derek's videos are packed with car revivals, racing shenanigans, and all sorts of mischief, but don't be fooled; you'll end up learning more than you bargained for if you keep your eyes peeled.
Not too long ago, Derek was just another auto mechanic with grease on his hands by day and a corporate suit by night, soaking up episodes of Roadkill on KZbin in his spare time. But with Vice Grip Garage, Derek’s success has become so massive that his chance to star on TV finally happened when his show “Roadworthy Rescues” premiered on MotorTrend in late 2022. Join us as we roll back the curtains on what Vice Grip Garage doesn’t tell us about Derek Bieri.

VGG, Vice Grip Lodge, and Little Grip Garage are BY FAR my favorite KZbin channels. Derek and his family bring a smile to my face every time I see them. Good people doing good things!

[@johnlangford7336]

Well said! I agree wholeheartedly!

[@billmitchell7731]

Hey I didn't know about vice grip lodg or little vice grip garage. Awsome. Thanks 😊

[@PizzaMan-ItsaRomethingeveryday]

You'll never find a better guy here on KZbin, there's a few that are close but VGG is prime

[@RicnHermano]

Derek’s genius is being able to talk underwater, educate underwater and entertain and impress millions with his genuine wit and hard work. We love his respect and love of his family.

[@terrenceolivido741]

again, sigh. more very special people are commenting. years ago, after watching the first videos i said " Derek is a very superior person. " well i see comments like yours that show other very intelligent people are giving him special credit and thanks. seems amazing to me.

[@tomgarner553]

You see. Even a "Truth about Derek" video can’t tarnish him. He’s a great guy that used his corporate knowledge to gain just enough wealth to buy into his true passion. Love hearing these success stories.

[@etceteraleatherworks1103]

I showed up looking at the title, expecting the video to be some low key click bait smear campaign, and I was pleasantly surprised to watch it all the way through, and it's just praise for how awesome Derek, his family, his work ethic, and the quality of his KZbin content it. Bravo, sir, as little as I like these videos because they're usually negative, you gave me a bamboozle. Thanks for that! Keep those fuel make it happeners and lightning cables working!

[@NotAnybodyElse]

I mean, it is clickbait because here we are after seeing the title and jumping into the fray. But I'm glad it's not a negative video.

[@joefortman989]

He definitely shows what people from ND and MN are like and I know that were all very proud of him and his family up here

[@charlesbass5856]

THIS IS A GUY THAT HAS A WORK ETHIC THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE- AND HE STILL MAKES TIME FOR HIS WONDERFUL FAMILY- AND THE FARM HAS TO BE WORKED OR IT WILL FAIL! I HOPE THIS CHANNEL STAY GOING FOR A LONG LONG TIME- I'M AN OLD MECHIC SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD AND I'M 78 YEARS OLD NOW AND I CAN RELATE TO EVERYTHING HE IS DOING! ONE GREAT THING IS THAT HE KAKES ME LAUGH ALL WHILE DOING AN EXPERT JOB AT WHAT EVER HE DOES. FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD - HE CAN PAT HIS FATHER ON HIS HEAD FOR TEACHING HIM THE ROPES IN THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD- I LEARN THING FROM DEREK EVERYTIME I WATCH HIS SHOW! GREAT GREAT FAMILY OREINTATED SHOW- SHOULD BE A PATTERN FOR ALL FAMILIES-AND HE IS TEACHING HIS BOYS JUST LIKE HIS FATHER DID FOR HIM!! REALLY GREAT CHANNEL- I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND ITS CONTENT! GREAT JOB DEREK AND FAMILY!

[@steveedwards4495]

I only came on here because I thought someone was ripping into Derek lol. Was ready to tear someone a new one. VGG has been a favourite of mine for a long time, due to his laid back friendly style. Genuinely seems a great bloke and big family man. Learnt a few things from this vid I didnt know. May he long continue. 👏👍

[@mikkelwynkoop1014]

I agree with you on everything you said!!

[@hillbilly3331]

I thought the same thing, was ready to defend Derrick, goes to show you that a family style show that you and your kids can watch together. I love he came to Tn, broke my heart when he got his shop broken into. He and his wife are outstanding people, we wish their family all the best.

[@jameskwaka]

Me too!

[@robbyk5266]

[@jessed3884]

he doesn't even use real words and I learn more from him lol

[@terrenceolivido741]

sigh, Derek is one of my first discoveries on youtube and he still has never let me down. he has been one of the most consistently talented presenters, generally changing and understanding his viewership and keeping values we agree with. It is amazing as i look down the comments so many are sharing my sentiments and expressing them in heartfelt and articulate ways.

[@matthewlampe2384]

Love VGG & all the corresponding projects & I never miss a VGG episode & I watched the first 2 seasons of Roadworthy Rescues. His content is something I look forward to weekly as well as the "budget build" shows. I want to meet Derek one day & I was bummed when I couldn't get up to Jefferson Wisconsin to see him during the annual car show.

[@robertpimpo4698]

I must ofseen every episode since he started in his little 2 car garage hes a good family man

[@daveblevins3322]

His key is that he's relatable. Outstanding guy with an outstanding woman and family 🙏🔥🔥🙏🇺🇸

[@thesaltlifemanshow5522]

Derek bieri is a damn legend. So is puddins fab shop and junkyard digs. I had the fortune of meeting Derek down in Florida and he wanted my Buick which is similar to his 56. He fixed the timing by ear and it was spot on. Not to mention he's genuinely a good guy and funny to boot. We will all be dipped.

[@johnleclair663]

I am not a huge car guy - but I watch his videos religiously. He and his family are just the perfect family.

[@tandtadventures3645]

He is an inspirational guy, his boys his lovely wife are just so real and enjoyable to watch, I hope to meet him someday, on my bucket list

[@user-mk4ix7jq5t]

Awesome show, great mechanic but seems to be a even better family man! His episode on route 66 with his son was awesome.

Love it. Iv'e been watching VGG for the past 4 maybe 5 years? He has an awesome down to earth demeanor. And a dry sense of humor. Yes and crazy yankee ingenuity. I could go on about the family and just good stuff. Keep it up bud.

[@Bad-decisions-and-good-times]

Vgg is one of the biggest most successful channels on fb that hasn't sold out to a corporate business for some big money. Yes some of his phrases get a little old. But I always enjoy his videos. He's also a extremely good driver

[@Rodeshion]

Hes a good actor for sure. People that talk on their channel like they talk in everyday life is better to watch and support . Its hard to be a fake so just talk like you normally do when the cameras arent on.

Derek is also a veteran. He spent time in the military. Let's not forget that. I have watched his shows. And have commented on some of his builds. Of which he has answered me.

Derek is fantastic on VGG. I don't watch Roadworthy Restorations.

[@tetedur377]

I can't speak for how Derek pronounces his last name, but this is the pronunciation as I know it: Beer-(long e). The family crest is literally the implements used to brew beer. There are two ways of spelling the name; the way Derek spells it, and that's not my branch, and Beery, which is my branch. There is one other way of spelling it, Beeri, but I've never met or read about anyone in recent times who uses that spelling. In German, as a general rule, the second vowel of a diphthong is the pronunciation. If it were spelled bEIri, then it would be pronounced Bye-re (long e).
