This good man is one of the very best. He deserves every dollar he charges, and more. I'm commenting from a professional view. When I retired I had 2 ASE Master certifications and every certification that Ford offered, and more. Watching him solve very difficult problems humbles me.
Yea it's partly confidence,he's not scared to break anything,you can't go into it like that,that what Insurance is for,AND he gets the opportunity to learn with every new hard thing he figures out
"We were pullin' some pretty sick G's with it! " I don't know why but I find that hysterically funny.
At 5:20 Eric O says, "I'm sure there's aftermarket ones for a lot less that won't work." My fifth grade son told me, "Buy Ticonderoga pencils, they sharpen." I asked, "Why do you say that." "Because the teacher has all kinds of pencils and only Ticonderogas sharpen to a point. The lead is off-center in the others, and I cannot sharpen them." So you can save money buying pencils that do not work or you can spend extra money for working pencils. Seems to be true for a lot of stuff.
Love the logic and it is correct
"Ticonderoga...slowly I turned...step by step...."
An early lesson in life. You could say your son is "sharp". A saying I remember "You may not always get what you pay for, but you'll never get what you don't pay for".
@@aday1637 Your showing your age. Me too.
Now I have to be concerned about having enough lead in my pencil and whether or not it is off center...
I have been watching S.M.A. videos for a few years now. This is my go to channel for auto repairs. He's thorough and gets the job done right. Hard to believe how many DING DONGS give a thumbs down. What is there to dislike??
It's the other shops that dislike cause Eric found out about their hack job repairs!
A guy could post a video of someone balancing the US budget, saving orphans AND curing cancer--and a number of unhappy grumps would still give it a thumbs down. Some people just skew negative...
"It's not your first time... and if it is, I'm glad it's with me"
--Thanks for the Saturday morning laugh! Thank you for all of the great content, look forward to more.
.... I was feeling awkward af when he was staring straight at me through my screen
LoL I loved that one.
You can train most anyone to be a parts changer, but being a real mechanic is a gift that you are born with and not everyone has. Eric is one of those lucky ones that was born with the gift to learn, understand, and innovate. Having been a mechanic myself all my life, it started very early taking things apart just to see and understand how they worked. I have worked with a lot of so called mechanics over the years in shops and dealerships that were educated idiots and I would never let one of them touch anything I own. All this being said, getting some training and having a piece of paper does not make one a true mechanic.
Eric O. Has the best vehicle repair videos on UA-cam, well put together. High quality look.
He's a pro--he holds his cellphone horizontally, not vertically. :)
Great repair as usual ! It warmed my heart to see all of the American flags flying in your town !!
To find a shop in this day and age who doesn't try to milk the customer with unnecessary parts replacement is so refreshing. Eric, you are the man.
I love this video. At 17:00 Eric O leans over and whacks the blower motor to see if he can start it. Yeah! "Remember folks if I can do it you can do it." First time I have seen Eric O do something I am sure I can do.
Yo Eric, give us another Day in the Shop video. Haven’t seen one of those in a while 🎥💨
Wassup Homie
@@heyitschinoable what’s cracking Chino 😑
Homie don’t play that....
Homie Hektor lmao 😑
Love seeing all the US flags flying during "the shake"! 🇺🇸
Hopefully Governor Cuomo or his brother Chris "Fredo" Cuomo do not watch this video. The Governor would immediately send the state police to remove all those flags.
I play your videos thru my stereo at work instead of listening to the radio so my customers know I'm a real rust belt mechanic. Everything I work on is rusty, except for floorboards. They're removed at the dealership up here and replaced with old real estate signs which are perfect for riveting body panels back together.
Cheers bud, you saved me a fortune over here in Northern Ireland. Mechanics saying, "Its your steering angle sensor, its a blocked pipe, Its the clockspring, its your abs sensors, etc etc." Well it was an incorrect Collar on the clock spring connecting to the steering angle sensor. I just replaced the collar of the clock spring for £15 GBP and hey presto.
Eric stayed for the whole video. The fun part of the repair is the road test! Looking forward to repair the blower motor
Everytime i tell myself over and over not to forget, it Inevitably happens. You were going to get some data hence the plug was plugged back in. Then you went with your gut and common sense. Just remember tomorrow’s another day to forget😊. Thank you for your time.
"The Self Made Auto Channel" No other like it !
When I first found his channel a few years ago, I thought that was what he was saying too. Eric is an awesome mechanic and a supreme troubleshooter! Not everyone can be a good troubleshooter, because your brain has to be wired to think that way, just like not everyone can compose music like Bach or any other myriad of specialized skills. The best part is that Eric is a hellava nice guy, has integrity, humble, and honest!
That's clever. Sounds just like it.
Hi Eric , here in the UK, most vehicle mechanics or now as called technicians go to work from school and have a 4 year apprenticeship, then if they pass all their exams they then become a fully qualified motor vehicle mechanic , as I did from school in 1979, but you don't need any license to work on vehicles, and if you have enough money and tools you can open your own garage, or work mobile , the only licensed people are the mot testers , who can have it work in an appointed garage by the department of transport to carry out MOT testing, a bit stricter than state inspections , the same testing standards are throughout the country, in previous employment I was an MOT tester , but now just own my own garage and have done for 25 plus years , unfortunately in a rented building, great video Eric , take care 😷
Mrs. O about ready to release some cookin' vids yet? My lovely wife is patiently waiting for those for sure!!
P.S. South Main is DEFINATELY the best diag. guy on the "tubes" for sure!!!
8:34 "we got a squirter" lol. Awesome video as usual
Oh man , i replace both wheel bearing, brake pads, brake disc's,for a electronic problem! Thanks for video!
Hello form Romania!
I want to hug Eric. He is so nice and honest.
Awesome as always
You never cease to amaze
Eric, I want you to know that you are still my favorite channel on UA-cam!! Thanks for what you do!
Great diagnosis as usual.
I love watching your videos man as a professional technician work in the main dealer , love the words of wisdom end of the video
I commend you for your professionalism!
Thank you for another great video. Stay safe out there. Cheers
Love watching a wizard wave his wand!
Seriously Eric I wish you lived in my town. Always love your videos, not only for the troubleshooting but also your video quality. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Nice job dude!
WOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!....Love the part 2....looking forward to a part 3 really SOON!!!!........THEN....you can do the head gasket!!!! O BABY!!
Ah, wonderful! I replaced my clockspring on my 2008 Rogue and it started doing this. I ordered the right part but the notches got out of line. Thank you much!
I like it. Thanks Dr. O!
Love this job you are doing, well as ever I miss your break fluid episode I am an BMW guy and brought it by the case.
Your channel is gold. Hope you are having a good weekend!
You just saved me a ton of time - was having that exact issue on a 2010 frontier after changing the clock spring
i love this channel
Great video, great strategy, very logical, and the most important at the end that you have another very happy customer who will come back for sure for more service. You deserved the respect and trust.
The mechanics like you Eric should be treated, trusted, and respected like doctors in hospital cause we are doing the same thing performing good diagnose, and fixing things for clients. Big thanks from Canada to you Eric and keep up the good work, and see u soon.
Thanks Eric that was good to know I enjoyed the video and I have been there also I have been working on vehicles for fifty years and believe me they are changing more and more thanks CK
Wish I could come up with something really witty to say but that's just not me. I've learned so much from your videos and will recommend your channel to every car guy I know. Thanks for all the useful info and the witty remarks. This channel is hands down the best on UA-cam.
Thanks for the content Mr. O, I think I heard on a video you are not ASE certified. However when you were working in your Dad's shop you just didn't settle just to be a "points and condenser" mechanic. You grew with the technology and became a master troubleshooter using all reference material available to you, great job.
The old part plastic center piece looked like it was opposite of the new one to me. I may be wrong. Great job as always Mr. O!
Excellent, now have a great weekend.
That is one expensive Etch-A-Sketch.
😆😆😆
Ya get what you pay for he might cost more but he's much better
What dxt
Crap. Ya beat me to it!
That is the first thing I thought also. Good call.
Another great video from Dr. O. My favorite part was that at the exact moment you put the screws in your teeth to hold them, it was time for an ad and the ad that ran was for Invisalign.
wow
Great job ! Thanks for the video..
Nice job and video
I like the test rides. Makes me feel like we are going somewhere
awesome. good job. had my truck in the local shop I go to, a long long while ago I asked to check the air filter, said it was OK, in the mean time the engine has not run vary well for a couple of years, I looked at it my self it was so crusty it crumbled, I put a K&N filter in and the engine now runs great. crazy.
Good job , great video...
I've been watching your video since 2018 probably. I work with routers mainly but I can easily repair cars, washing machines, fridges or anything that works with electricity.
But now something has changed and it is your fault. I started to call anything I'm working on "the apparatus".
It easier and it makes really easy to refer to the device when you're not calling it with it's name!
I was particularly grateful to see OLD GLORY flying in several places along Main Street :-)
Awesome you helped me same buttons not working on steering wheel air bag light on sensors test good!!!
Great video...
I love the sound of those old trucks
VERY good ! I have the same system on my vehicle.. wow crazy it was all in that part. They dont give those away ! Wow I wonder if this a common failure uhhhg. Great diagnosing here !
Nicely done sir👍
Good fix Eric O.
Love your show\channel. I make it through all your videos and have learned a lot! the only thing that bugs me is........"Somewhere(s)" but nobody is perfect........hehe
This reminded me of the time i believe in kansas a car load of tornado chasers who's driver thought the tornado was going northeast but in fact was coming straight at him. He tried to out run the tornado but because of the intense winds his Nissan's traction control system was misidentifying the car as being out of control and intensely applied the brakes. Multiple people in the car were killed. You can find it on youtube.
I love your town, Eric. Looks like something taken out of a Norman Rockwell painting.
Great job
Best mechanic on youtube
I 100% agree with you.
"Line your peg up in the groove just like that... Now it's touching."
Life lesson there.....
Greatest advice ever 😩💯
Job done👍
We knew you would get it fixed 😉
We need a day in the shop video it's been too long slow season is approaching us eric roll that camera mr O 👍👍👍👀👀
I live in south in the woods. Never been to New York and name of channel as south main auto one would think your dead smack in middle of city. Didnt think new York had fields and woods lmao
Really enjoy your videos. Top notch
Lots of NY is beautiful with good people.
You are opening the bag to reveal the unboxing that you already unboxed. 🤣
liked that pothole technique for troubleshooting the blower fan....
I wish you could put out a video every day I enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Be glad it wasn't bad enough for FIVE (way too long) videos.... ;)
👍Good job
Mr.O I am 8hrs late to the video I Have Failed You! For that I am Sorry!! Lol Appreciate part 2!
Eric, in Canada you have to have a journeyman ticket in Automotive mechanics working at the shop. You as the owner don't need one but you have to have one on premises to run the shop. The apprenticeship consists of working under a journmen for 2000 hours per year and going to school for two months for 4 years.
my new favourite mechanic UA-cam channel you are awesome mr o respect from the uk 🇬🇧
You mean using the wrong parts won't fix a car??? WTF??? 🤷♀️
I'm not surprised that there are people taking money to work on cars who lack common sense and good work habits, because I've seen the same in many other occupations. If more folks had those two things SMAR and I would have less work and be less valued, but the world would be a happier place. Eric is my kind of folks.
In Ontario, an Auto Mechanic needs a licence. To obtain it, the person must go through a 4 year Apprenticeship, that includes on the job training and in-class instruction.
Four years is a lot of broken plastic and stripped threads, no?
Gosh I wish that were me...
Here in Murica we don't need no stinking license, we just do it better because we do it over and over and sell parts that weren't broken and run up huge labor bills and then send it to some other shop to get it fixed cause, Murica.
License is just a tax. I worked 50 years in aviation where A&E certification is required and yet many if not most of those guys had to be watched like a hawk, or sent packing. Seriously only about 20% of them were good enough to trust.
In Germany its 3,5 years but you can't trust them after that. Some are so bad, you can't hand them a screwdriver without watching them
Eric In Michigan you need a Sales Tax License, A Mechanic Certification in each field you work on and A Motor Vehicle Repair Facility License (based on the work area of the shop!) No Safty inspection required!
No I can not do it,, great video thanks for your time..
I know this route so well I think I could do a test drive in Avoca!
Great job! I guess the Lady who own this car will finally have it working better than when she bought it. I also appreciated your humor about wrong parts and ventilation motor failure detection. I guess if it's not some bad connection, most probably dirt in or used motor carbon brushes. Video n°3?
The world would be perfect if every service people in garages had the same dedication to good work and fine results, with or without any licence, green plate or any sort of religion. Of course depending on local requirement a special licence or degree is needed to run a shop. Some States don't and it's the market's law only... Anyhow, here in France where many things have to be done by the books (it's not an easy process to open a shop or company), or by tradition, it's not necessary the local Nissan or Ford, or Citroen or VW or else garage who's the finest shop to repair your car, they're generally the most expensive... You also have like everywhere in the world many auto centers, who do a massive assault with TV ads and sell chinese tyres and do oil change with the same oil forever for everycar... And you also have small shops generally working fine, some without a special trade accreditation. These generally do the best job with no fuss and no specialized info tools or courses from trades... Some even end doing the "dirty jobs" for others or specialize like body and paint repair, electrical repairs... However, these guys are few, and I wish anybody who does not have the knowledge, time, tools and dedication, to have a shop like South Main Auto Repair in their neighborhood to take care of their cars and find solutions where others have failed!
Here in Nova Scotia you need a red seal mechanic to sign off on the MVIs (safety inspection) anyone can pretty much do the work. You also pay a license fee to have a shop and be licensed to do MVIs. Most shops have a used vehicle dealer license as well. (And to be a dealer you need to be able to do MVIs as dealer sold vehicles have to come with a new MVI) And some shops have a appraisers license as well. I don't know all the ins and outs of it all but this is what I understand of the system from the mechanics and shops I have ever dealt with.
Awesome videos! Is resetting the steering wheel angle sensor as simple as hitting a button or is there a process to it?
Trying to get first comment. Looks like I missed! Just happen to be standing here with Mr O in person...
Insider info and ya still missed it haha
She put a swerve in your concentration, I see her do that with Mr O sometimes.....
Probably got distracted by the donger
Like the "if I can do it..." Catch phase. All you need is ..public liability insurance ...£000s of test equipment, years of experience and an understanding of what it is your doing !!!! Other wise ...keep a fire extinguisher handy remember folks if its not broke Keep fixing till it is
Hey Eric have you ever actually had an airbag go off on you while handling it? I think we're all so careful it never happens but I'd love to hear someone's story!
Here in the great state of Michigan you can work in a shop as long as one of the mechanics is state or nationally certified and checks your work.
Afternoon Eric
Hey canadain here. Yes you have to be licensed through an apprenticship or challenge the tests. There's 4 levels but either way to need a full licensed mechanic to sign you on.
Yet too many mechanics still don’t understand how these systems work at all nor can understand how to properly fix it with the right info
Just finished the first part less than ten minutes ago. Perfect timing on the fix!
0:17 dislike! That was a terrible unboxing, i will be looking elsewhere for a nissan cable reel unboxing video! How did the plastic feel? Was the box fairly sturdy that it came in? lol thanks for the share! Looking forward to the next one!
That's funny
How did you feel about the rest of the vids? Specifically, where he diagnosed the issue and showed how he solved it? I am curious to know how the 'unboxing' upset you... 🤨
@@hobbesip1 Alec, some pretty obvious sarcasm evidently flew over your head.
Another fine diagnosis and repair. How are you liking those new lifts?
Yep, in Onscario, Canaderp, you have to be a licensed shop, and must have at least one licensed technician, qualified in certain areas where you intend to do business, ie. brakes. As far as changing batteries, installing bulbs, body and paint, and whatnot, sure... any ding dong can do that stuff, but when it comes to brakes, safeties, stuff like that, you have to have someone responsible either doing the work, or overseeing and signing off on work that was done (if done by apprentice or some junior grease monkey). When signing certifications or annual safeties, the shop license number as well as the tecnician's license number must appear on the certificate. Licensed technicians come into play even more so when you get into truck, bus, coach work. 310T is an often seen term when a shop puts out an ad for a technician.
Thanks for the vijeo on a Saturday morning. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Hi Eric love all your videos, quick question was that a red 1992 Buick Park Avenue parked outside?
At least you didn't have to align the toe plus that expensive steering angle sensor should be returnable. Fix the blower and another happy customer. Nice work.
Lot of places have no returns on electrical parts unfortunately
With these Nissans, it's usually not the blower motor but the resistor pack that is inside the blower housing. Just had to do one on my Titan......it connects on the outside but is cooled by the air inside. Weird little thing......same symptoms though. Worked when it felt like it.
Nice - Hit those "bumps" after she just had a wheel alignment.
