Customer came out down and out. But your positive energy rubbed off on him. And you can tell he was in a better mood just by talking to him. Prob a single dad trying to make ends meet .
The best thing to do in summer is remove them huge plastic engine covers, this allows heat to escape better to aid in a cooler engine, winter comes re install it.
Boy, today’s radiators are the size of the AC condensers in the past, like my 78 GMC , 82 Caprice, all copper to, if I didn’t have the $ I’d just cut & solder the leaking core & still wouldn’t overheat, but a replacement on payday 😂
@@williamclaflin7863 I used to buy an aftermarket 4 core copper radiator for my truck for $150 back then, early mid 90’s, I wish had kept some of them vehicles
Here’s the deal. Your brother absolutely has to be Peter. Imagine “just another service provided by your friendly neighborhood Mechanic-Man” 😂😂 we will also accept “Matt-Man” or “MattTheMechanic” 😂
I'm surprised you're able to fix that headrest that headrest popping out like that that's for collisions in a hard frontal collision it'll pop forward so as your head comes back after hitting the airbag to cushion your head after you fall back into the seat normally things like that for crashes once it's out it locks into place and there's no way to fix it usually you have to replace it
I been using vise grip on mine for years now but for customers cars that's a no no because it digs into the strut and tears the seals up then they leak
If the hood lift struts are broken, they are broken. Vice grips aren’t going to make them any “more” broken. They need to be replaced…in the meantime vice grips are also an option.
What is that little tool you used to screw onto the hood strut and hold the hood up? I’m boutta do valve cover gaskets on my 01 bonneville and the hoot struts are shot, I’d like to get one of these so I don’t have to use my handy dandy vice grips
Also what is the tool you used to push the brake caliper piston back? Looks nicer then a c clamp, sorry I don’t mean to sound like a dumbass i’ve just never seen these cool gadgets ya got
@@DankWheezy710 ive just used vicegrips on a worn hood strut to keep it open..and a c clamp on calipers do the same job..and you can have the handle on the vicegrips out of the way.. theres not much point in buying these besides they look cool..
@@richsweeney1115 I would just like one of those little clamps for the hood struts so my vice grips don’t eat it up after using it so many times, and sometimes I need that specific pair of vice grips but they’re holding the hood up! lol and I guess this would just feel safer to me idk, and when using a c clamp on my impala I can barely ever push the piston back far enough, I might just need a bigger c clamp though, all my tools are scattered around my pole barn so if I wanna find or use anything it’s a scavenger hunt and it’s a mix of me and my steps dads tools, I’m starting to just buy and rebuy all the stuff I want or need and keeping it separated and organized from everything else
Mathew , quick question when you tighten the oil pan drain plug do you use a torque wrench to torque to specs .. what method do you use as a mobile mechanic
So when it shakes at 60+ it could be me rotors? It’s some warping going on with them. I balanced my tires a good 3 times & my car still shakes help pls
@@jasonmurdoch9936 lol 😂 I live in Dallas TX sorry. I'm asking cause I've had my vehicles broken into and my garage too. So now I have cameras at home and keep all my tools inside my house. Just wondering I know some people rent storage.
I lost a customer last week because he called me five times in a row and then five long messages and I couldn’t stop myself from being an asshole call One message is plenty when I get busy. I will call you back promise
the owner of the vehicle is such a nice customer to deal with.

Here's the deal, you better be having a good spring break.
100$ upcharge if they watch and tell stories 😂
As a mobile mechanic, I used to get sad when people went back inside. It can get lonely out there.
yeah just a 20 min job will turn into a hour lol@@McAdamsMechanics
@@McAdamsMechanicslmao made me smile sometimes you want people to be interested in what you do
Spontaneous miscellaneous charge
For sure 👌🤣
I see you shop at Oreilly. Thanks bro. I’m a manager at one in Arizona and we appreciate your business. Truly
Have to love engineer's who design these cars with no room to work on them. You do good work
Bro id love to have you as a mechanic.

Driver seat belt unlocked 😂 Bro protect yourself I want to continue watching your videos😅

Yeah 1000 bucks for copper vs 100 for plastic and alumnium

Fast on your way to 100k brother, and you deserve it. Keep up the good work.

Would putting couple pieces of cardboard in first slide radiator in between cardboard, help against the stuff from scratching?
Cool video 👍💪

Another Chrysler

Fastest radiator install ever!😅
Put your seatbelt on brotha
Dude you're so amazing I wanna be like you
To the customer if you read this. Please stop bothering him. He’s got other jobs to do mate!
would be 100x better with full screen videos
I would like to meet you one he seems so cool lol. Matthew energy is so Great.
Love your videos but you really gotta buy an action cam that can shoot full screen landscape mode
1 person asked what can I do to help. I said leave
All of these video's I watch seem to have the same issue. They aren't Toyota or Honda. American made keeps you paid!
BROTHER PLEASE TURN YOUR CAMERA TO LANDSCAPE MODE, turn your phone Horizontally please
Can’t believe that guy didn’t replace the t junction after you told him about that.
Nice job
The world of exspensive plastic parts, Ill stick with my 67 Mustang Fastback.
How might that prop clamp
I use vice grip
I pad it and clamp it
Matt whats the thing ypu used for the hood strut
I been using vise grip on mine for years now but for customers cars that's a no no because it digs into the strut and tears the seals up then they leak

Mathew , quick question when you tighten the oil pan drain plug do you use a torque wrench to torque to specs .. what method do you use as a mobile mechanic
I don't trust Torque wrenches on most things because there is a tendency to strip out threads. Prefer feel.
Oil pan plug? Just snug it
hand tight nice n snug
My witty comment.
325 bucks to detail? I need to get out the paint and body business sounds like
So when it shakes at 60+ it could be me rotors? It’s some warping going on with them. I balanced my tires a good 3 times & my car still shakes help pls
If you want to be professional don't shake the customer's hand
Hey brother i have a question for you? How is it keeping your tools in ur truck? Has anyone tried stealing from you? Do you keep it in ur garage?
Sounds to me like somebody's looking for an easy target why would you care if he Parks it in his garage or not just saying
