The sign is a great idea and looks professional.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback very much!
I like that idea pulling the alternator off at the same time and switch it over off the truck… I’m gonna steal that trick sir
Being a mobile mechanic I think I just found my new favorite yt channel.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Love the sign and the channel homie. You're a great dude doing honest work helping people.
Thank you my friend I appreciate the support very much!
That pulley ringing like ding ding it’s on ! As a retired mechanic/electromechanical tech I like watching other guys go after it and see the different styles. It’s funny but sometimes you have to go slow so the customer doesn’t feel ripped off. I’ve had them say well I could have done that? Yeh after properly diagnosing, the problem lol anybody can be a parts hanger. Keep us posted brother ✌️🇺🇸
Man that pulley kept ringing most of it got edit out 🤣 it’s awesome to get feedback from someone retired who worked in the industry and knows the struggle sometimes. I’ve had a couple customers say the same thing then I look over and ask ok where’s your tools and it’s always “ummmm I’d go buy some”. Most customers understand why the price is set where it is but there is that one customer that just wants to argue. I appreciate the comment and thank you for watching!
@@QualityMobileAutomotive thanks a bunch for responding my friend, be safe out there, I’ll bug ya more in the future lol.
@@deborahchesser7375 I’m looking forward to it!
Good work is not cheap!
@@discovery2727 no it sure isn’t, I always asked them, do you want it done fast or done right ? Never put yourself in danger trying to hurry up for some idiot.
I just subscribed, reminded me of my younger days laying in the dirt fixing my friends cars. A little more work without the power tools, but fond memories.
Awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
@@franks2524 power tools are a must have these days. All labor guides include them in the time of a job. Most repairs cannot be done in the time the guides call for with basic hand tools. Also, it is wrong to charge by the actual hours worked vs. the labor guides. This is where many shops rip their customers off. They will charge full shop hours for a brake job then when adding a rotor or caliper they will charge full shop hours for each individual job instead of adding the partial. But I will tell you, my power tools were the best investment I have ever made. When starting out I made the mistake (eager) of buying all of my tools from the snapon truck. They are quality but I could have save so much money to put into more specialty kits and diag equipment. Once you spend tens of thousands on tools you eventually learn what was actuall a good investment and what would have been smarter.
So far I've seen 2 episodes of your show man! Someday my buddy & I will do our mobile mechanic on call here in the Philippines. It's convenient for customers to service their car at the comfort of their own home. And we can save on overhead costs of owning a shop, too. Thanks for showing man!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Just found your channel and I’m subscribing as I type. I love mobile mechanics. You seem to be one of the honest ones. And that’s why I’m subscribing.👍🏾
Well thank you very much! I appreciate that!
I LIKE THE SIGN IT PROMOTES YOUR AWESOME WORK
Awesome sign, Robert!! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you!
That's awesome man that's the way you do it
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Yeah, not only having to do the hard work of being a mobile mechanic but then also having to be a video editor! Keep it up, you're on your way to 1000 subscribers in no time!
Thank you! Editing is the hardest part! It takes hours to make just a 20-30 min video. I’m currently using open shot to edit but open to hearing suggestions on what everyone else uses. It’s the fastest one I’ve used so far. Also interested in finding out what program everyone is using to make the cool thumbnails that stand out.
Brilliant idea on the sign, loving the content 👏
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words! Definitely motivating
Love the New sign, Robert!!!😊
Thank you!
Yeah that sign is a great idea
Thank you!
Excellent idea buddy good luck 👍🏼
Thank you my friend I appreciate it!
Ringin' that bell, great tone!
🤣 I enjoyed the sound! Glad you did too
"Ring the bell if you received excellent customer service!"@@QualityMobileAutomotive
Nice sign. Great thought. 👍👍 Good luck!!
Thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
Awesome sign and great work

Good idea on the sign!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Another great job!! Your sign was a good idea!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I truly appreciate it!
Hopefully we can collaborate and share stories. Even tips and tricks. Thanks for this channel. People have no idea how challenging being a mobile mechanic is when your in direct sunlight and have no lift. Also you have to make all the calls, pay all the bills, do all the paperwork, and deal with broken bolts without shop tools. It’s a fun life!
Hopefully one day! Where are you located?
@@QualityMobileAutomotive south Mississippi! Not far from the coast. Send me your email please. Also I’m curious what kind of diagnostic equipment you use. Do you pay for all data? What are your expenses on diagnostic equipment? Not being nosy just trying to up my game. I am one of the very few mobile mechanics in my area and I stay busy but there is so much work I have to turn down due to inability to diagnose and of course I have no lift.
@@QualityMobileAutomotive plus, bless you’re viewers for the kindness they showed to Mr. Ray. That warmed my heart!
Great idea on the sign!!!
Thank you! And Thank you so much for watching and commenting we really appreciate it!
Great job, really hope your business does well, clearly you deserve it 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Wish you were here in new jersey you do great work
I appreciate the compliment! Thank you!
Sign came out great! Best of luck
Thank you!
I like the sign a lot, very professional
Just subscribed and best of luck to your channel. You’re going to do great!
Thank you very much! The motivation is appreciated!
I like it.
Free advertising 🙌 👏
Excellent sign it works!!!
Thank you!
Brilliant sign!
Thank you!
Good job my friend I’m a locksmith, we need professional and honest people like you
Another wonderfully done job!
The sign looks great, and now your truck interior and the back bed look as great, how nice that would be. Keep the sign in the box when not in use and keep it looking nice...
Awesome sign.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Great idea making that sign. Works for safety and advertising.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Bet that stealership pump was higher than a cats back lol
😂 the pump was about $350 plus tax
Great idea
Thank you!
Mobile Mechanic Pro Tip: Buy the small and large moving blanket from Harbor Freight. Adhesive glue tarps over each blanket and cut tarp to size. The wind will be less of an issue, and it will be more comfortable laying on it. Each one lasts quite awhile and is cheap.
Works wonders here in Colorado Springs with snow, rain etc.
I’ll have to make one! Thanks my friend!
Awesome job! Thanks for the video. The sign is a good idea and may help someone to not run you over. You will do well. you can be honest but don’t be scared to change what the job is worth. I have done alot of jobs too cheap over the years. You can be a good guy and still make money just a tip from my 17 years being self employed. Good luck out there.
Thank you for sharing! I do appreciate all the support!
Sign looks awesome, great for promotion and safety
Definitely! Thank you!
Nice sign and a good idea
Thank you!
It must have a drunk engineer who came up with that system
Quite possibly
The sign is a great idea!. I’ve done some mobile mechanic work and having a big sign like that while doing a job would have been great. I would have never thought of it
Thank you! It definitely has got some attention lately.
Sign is a great idea! Just a thought, you could consider some kind of flashing caution light on top of your truck also.
I got one just have to put it on! Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
The sign looks great!
I was going to say, the other day you mentioned replacing the big sticker on your floor jack, and I thought, that sticker is upside down while holding a vehicle up, advertising oppertunity gone upside down, but now this new sign is much better 👍😎✊
🤣 I noticed the sticker on the jack also! Next one I’ll flip it correctly! Thank you
Ill be doing this on monday on a 2020 gmc, thanks for the tips and tricks 👍
Great idea 😊
The sign looks great. The next one should be designed with safety orange. Then it can serve to caution oncoming traffic as well. 🤔
Thank you! I was thinking of painting the frame orange also or just putting some reflective tape on it.
That sign is a great idea
Thank you!
I must've missed the part where he spun the water pump pulley by hand to find it was seized....
Sorry I may have accidentally edited that part out
Yeah great video u had some work to put in on that 🚘 geesh 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Robert, that's a very nice sign :o)
Thank you!
Great idea, nice sign. Love your videos, learn a lot!
Great sign. 👍
Thank you!
The sign is bomb! Good marketing
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Honestly your videos are real good i like them alot...
Thank you my friend I appreciate the kind words! I am still learning to edit and find the best angles for videos.
Lionel here in Central California. That’s a great idea, should help your business.
Did I see that right, the water pump and alternator as a unit. I bet that’s pricey! I hope my Corvette and Avalanche aren’t like that. I’ll have to look.
Thank you! They are separate I just pulled it as an assembly. The water pump is the bracket for the alternator though.
The water pump was $400
Good thinking there kid.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
great idea help help with being safe also !! great content
Thank you! Hopefully some people see the sign and move over just a bit while I’m grabbing tools.
Thanks, good idea!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Cool video's..... keep it up
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Be interesting to learn why the water-pump locked up / froze. Video looked as if dealer parts had a pump on a shelf already. (Popular / Common part replacement).
Bro put a 90 * bend on your compressor stationary motor’s exhaust. It will stop the black sort on your tool box and the sound won’t resonate off the box lessening it’s decibels it’s generating.
Other than that ….. well done
Love the vids , keep up the good work
Thank you for commenting and watching! I was supposed to put a 90 on it when I first put it in but everything got super busy and it ended up staying. The truck bed has been reconfigured recently and that problem has been fixed. It will take a few videos for the change to be shown.
I like the sign ! Used to do this when i painted houses
Thank you!
i have a question, what back up camera is that you are using in your truck. i like where you mounted the screen. just started watching your content and it is amazing brother!!
You get another sandwich board sign and Saul wear it when he is working with you. That sign is a great idea for those distracted driver who can run into the back of the vehicle you are working on.
Cool sign I like it good idea
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Sign is a good way to advertise ur services.
Thank you!
I had an oil change done at Toyota dealership ($100.00+). They will never see this vehicle again. I hope they are happy now!
Dealerships are expensive
Awesome work! Where are you located?
Yeah that's a good signage man! Very pro looking, so onlookers in the neighborhood will know that you're a pro mechanic, who is licensed & insured, too. Looks more legit! That was funny, you're trying to load it up in the back of your truck! Well, it's heavy enough that it didn't fly out when you got home. Maybe some organizing & cleaning up a bit in the back of your truck after each vehicle service. Do a video of it about how you organize your tools & stuff to get the job done. So we know what you carry with you anywhere you go for your auto mobile services.
Thank you! I did reorganize the truck recently. maybe I’ll do a small tour video. I appreciate the comment!
Cool sign! That's a great idea.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Did I miss something you pop the hood and saw the broken belt and immediately went to get a water pump?
Sorry it got edited out as the customer didn’t want to be in the video. I do show it a little later in the video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
We have Staples in norway to but it have changet name to Lyreco
Thank you for watching and commenting!
That is awesome work 👍 what is the area you serving?
Nice sign
Great work..🙂👍
Thank you my friend! I appreciate the kind words!
@@QualityMobileAutomotive That sign is a good idea, it looks good.👍
@@RaimoLehtinen thank you!
WHY did you go to the stealership for parts and coolant????? What about reman and aftermarket GM coolant? I do like the sign.. I would have gotten TWO!
Only place available for the water pump. Oreilly, Napa, and Autozone said they would have to call the supplier and see if they could even get one. Even if they could it would have been 1-2 weeks at the earliest. Dealership had it in stock and the dealer is 5 mins from the customers house. It was honestly the only way to get the customer back on the road in a reasonable amount of time.
Also didn’t want to drive 15 mins to get coolant from the parts store when it’s only $5 more at the dealership and I had to go there for the water pump anyways
@@QualityMobileAutomotive Got it. Been there, done that. Just wanted to know.
@@myfastcars understandable as I questioned why only the dealer had the part available. Also appreciate the feedback on the sign! Honestly if they weren’t $230 I would have probably bought 2 but for now 1 works.
What software package do you use to get book time on your jobs I use Real Time labor not bad but wondering if you use a better one.
I have never used that but I use Mitchell 1 and it has worked great for me so far. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Lmao I don’t know why I just watched every vid I n this channel
If I had to guess it’s because you find working on vehicles interesting like I do?
Because mobile mechanic videos are hardcore
Hell yeah they are!
@@dricklorenz9340your right, being out on the road is way tougher than being a shop mechanic. You really have to think on your feet.
I BEEN LOOKING WHAT FEALD OF WORK I WANT TO BE IN I THNK THIS IT
Cool sign I didn't know that you could get them at Staples 😊
Thank you! They are a little over 200 in this configuration
Cool Sign, Should Have Made It Safety Yellow.
I wish it was an option but we will be adding reflective tape. Thank you!
I've done of quite a few of these .....So nice of you to completely skip the whole a c compressor project that comes with it 😆 it can be a bish! But People should learn some of the things themselves..
Awesome sign
Thank you I appreciate that!
Gone are the days of the 20 minute water pump swap on small block Chevys. 😭
Definitely! This one calls for 4 hours of labor.
You should change the color of your sign to Orange like a construction cone or like a diver color when there's someone in the water recommend putting the phone number up high in bigger letters people driving 45 mph won't be able to read the entire sign logo number
Thank you for watching and commenting! I will take that into consideration when I order the next one.
@@QualityMobileAutomotive keep the box to keep that white sign clean
*The dreaded Dexkill coolant. Im glad i flushed it out of my 3800 and replaced it with the green. No matter how much i changed it, it would always build up orange residue in the radiator.*
I’m not the biggest fan of it myself either. Thanks for watching and commenting
How much does business insurance costing you
How many miles were on the truck?
If I’m not mistaken it was between 100,000-120,000. I know over 100,000 for sure
Looks good should drum up some more business
It's a sign of the times.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Cool sign, good advertising and maybe other drivers will take care passing when you're working on the street rather than running over your foot 😉 🙂
Thank you so much for your consideration I really appreciate it! And thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Sad that our manufacturers can’t make a water pump that last longer than three years. Make um fast not to last is their motto.
What is a stretch belt?
A longer belt or is there something specific to it
this was 3 months ago ? .... how am i so late ?. .. :O
How do you price your jobs?
Mitchell labor estimator tells us about how long the job should take. Then we multiply that by our labor rate
Is Mitchell cheaper then all data?
@@jacobdykes6736 I think they are similar in pricing.
Do you do engine and transmission removal?
@@jacobdykes6736 not mobile it’s too messy to do at a customers house
Man it's dirty under that hood
Definitely is!
Good sign get more business
