TV networks spend millions to develop shows and here I'm watching a guy do his day job, changing oil and fixing brakes. It's better than 99% of what's on hundreds of satellite channels.
Thank you! I truly appreciate it!
@@QualityMobileAutomotive i love the fact you got another customer simply because you were working on another customers vehicle. Ironically i am a mechanic and watched this video and it was quite pleasing lol. Keep up the good work 💪
@@wolf2179 always nice to hear from another mechanic! Thank you!
Agreed, I shut off my TV service years ago. I’m sick and tired of the evil greed and corruption of the main stream industry.
Nearly all of my entertainment comes from UA-cam, watching real people doing real things.
That's because this video has what they do not, and honest mechanic with real abilities, and does not have what they do, the stupid commercials worked into their shows. Just a dude out in the heat sweating his bawls off, gettin' it done.
Former mechanic here. I thought about doing mobile, but didn't want to deal with the weather extremes of a Michigan winter, or a Michigan summer.
Professional. Cares enough about his name to leave little to no trace of him working in the area. We need more people who take pride in their work in all fields
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
I knew as soon as I saw him put the drain pan down to prevent the dust on the driveway there was going to be some quality put into the work.
Exactly what I was going to say. Very impressed with how considerate and thorough this guy is.
@@MrBubba123bubba thank you!
@@mudpuddle8805 thank you
I used a mobile mechanic once to do some electrical work on my old Pony. Saved me an arm and a leg, and I got to support a small businessman.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
No need to comment on his height. I'm sure he was an regular sized businessman.

I was a mobile mechanic for over 20 years. I loved it. I had tons of wonderful customers. Now my knees and back are shot and my joints ache. I was able to buy 2 houses and paid them off. I'm 56 now. Wish I could still do it.
Sorry to hear about the wear and tear on your body but pretty awesome you paid off 2 houses! Thanks for watching!
@QualityMobileAutomotive I didn't overcharge my customers either. I'd rather make a dollar off of a million customers than a million off of one.
@@Sith_dude exactly how I am. Glad to meet a like minded person!
Heard the beep when torquing the wheel bolts. Nice! Did you torque to 80 lbs??? Curious... Wish other mechanics would do that instead of just jack hammering the bolts back on and I have to reset the bolts before they are practically impossible to remove.
@@DB-pz8tl if I’m not mistaken spec is 83ft-lbs on this one
I sure wish you were in my neighborhood! You are a true professional. Clean, efficient, polite and never complained about room to work or trailer hooked up or concrete too hard…. My friend you are going to make a ton of money because word of mouth will keep you rolling in work. All the best!
Wow thank you for the kind words! I am truly humbled by your comment. I try my best to be as professional as possible. Thank you again my friend I appreciate it!

....and you have one of those very trusty, and reliable Chevy trucks! I had a '92 Chevy W/T, I know!
@@carlc5748 very reliable! Mine is a 92 also!
Good one for thinking about the mailman 👍 very cool
ALWAYS keep a clean truck, many will consider it a reflection of your work.
Always trying to keep it clean. Sometimes you get I a rush to get to the next job though. I clean it every night though.
That's a boomer mentality, most people just care about the result of your work and the honest price for it.
Everyone is too stressed in life to care about pointless symbols.
@@The-Catno..your incorrect
@@MidnightPolaris800 probably depends on location/culture 🤔
@@The-Cat I will tell u in slc they all, regardless of age, want to come and take a look inside my work vehicle as if it's some indication of how well we can do our job. If your insurance company sent me, I'm pretty certain I'm capable of completing your service sir. Smh. What's worse is this will be the same customer that called 7 times wondering about an ETA and why we're 7 minutes late. When did you expect me to clean up exactly? Hopefully not everyone everywhere is like this.
As a mailman, I appreciate you not parking in front of the boxes.
Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
I have health issues so I can’t fix things myself I wish I could find a guy as thorough and as honest as you! You are a good man
Wow thank you for the kind compliment! I appreciate it very much!
I like that even though the rear brakes were fine you still took the time to clean both sides up, good work ethic.
I really appreciate the effort you go to keeping the workspace clean. I know it isn't easy.
mad respect for you, not depending on a profit hungry "company", being as pro as it is possible.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Glad to see this Mobil service. We'll done and Clean.
Thank you!
Good job. I use to have a E350 Ford Van fully equipped to do mobile restoration on Porsche & Mercedes. I enjoyed being outside, & meeting people. Most if not all the people I worked for were car enthusiasts that appreciated things done correctly. Have a good one, be safe.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting!
There’s something soothing about watching competent professionals doing their job. Well done!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
I watch a lot of auto repair videos and came across yours quite by accident. I wasn't expecting much, a quick oil change and pad slap. I was wrong. Your attention to detail and proper procedures was impressive. I liked the fact that you respected the customer's property and kept everything clean. Great job and I will be looking forward to more videos.
Thank you very much!
Nice to see the young fellas doing a great job.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I have 2 mobile mechanics that I use, i have a very high strung twin turbo car and they have rescued me many times when I couldnt get the job done. The legit professional Mobile mechanics are a God send.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
I was impressed that you torque the lug nuts. I had tires replaced at a local garage and one of the wheels fell off 100 feet from the gagage destroying the front fender. The guy denied responsibility and refused to repair the vehicle. I had to sue him for damages unfortunately. Had he admitted it we could have worked it out.
I was expecting a representative from a homeowners association screaming at you that you're not allowed to do that
I thought the same thing or someone mad my truck was parked in that spot.
Lol! Karen and Darren‘s always on the prowl!
Now this is a real mobile mechanic! Like your set up and everything. I had a neighbor who used a car and wouldn’t trust him to change a wheel on a bicycle after seeing how he worked on vehicles.
Thank you for the kind works my friend I appreciate it very much!
We need more people like you in this world GBU
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
God bless Al the hard working mechanics
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it! God bless!
Much respect for your skill set, the service you provide and the pride you take in your work, especially by the way you ensure you keep the customers’ driveway clean while you work. Says a lot about you and your character. 👍 I can definitely see where “word of mouth” will garner you all the business you can handle. Bravo!
Thank you I appreciate your kind words truly!
To me this is relaxing to watch, the effort he puts into it! Torquing the lugs shows you can just turn your keys over to him & not have to worry!! Great guy💪👍
This is great. Customer can see all the work performed if they want. Excellent.
Definitely! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Glad to see that you torque the lug nuts!
Always! Safety first!
He did use a torque wrench but they were already over the torque specs because the ratchet never moved and beeped right away
@@Turtle_toys lightly put on with the Milwaukee set on 2. I doubt it’s over torqued my friend. Set just right from the impact.
@@QualityMobileAutomotive
But how do you know for certain without it turning a little before torque setting. Maybe it’s wayyyyy over torqued and don’t know it. A garage did my daughter’s car that way and broke the stud because of over tightening.
@@halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550after 14 years of doing this everyday I have become 1 with the impact 🤣 but in all seriousness You develop a feel of when to stop if you know your impact. The garage breaking your daughter stud probably had a half ass mechanic that didn’t know what he was doing. Unfortunately there are a ton of shops that have those guys including the dealerships. The stories I have of the things I’ve seen “technicians” at the dealerships do is crazy.
Nice customer service! Very efficient.
Thank you!
Got to love the walk ups!
They are awesome!
You know you're good when people come up to you and ask if you can work on THEIR car!
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it
I wish you success with your channel! Thanks for posting!
Thank you my friend!
Quick little tip, It seems counter intuitive but if you spin your oil containers with the opening on the high side, they will pour a nice even stream the whole time without all of the glugging which is usually the cause of the splattering. Give it a try and I think you will like it.
Thank you for the tip! I forget about that trick sometimes! I appreciate any tips or input from everyone!
That's not a tip, that is the correct way to do it. It's no different than pouring a 55gal drum. When the drum only has a little left. Lay it on a bench, and roll it until it starts to pour out the bung, don't tip a drum.
@@RandomsFandom thank you for watching and commenting my friend! I appreciate the input
Yes its part of the design.
@@westcoast3595 definitely
I am impressed with your cleanliness
Thank you! The last thing I want to do is get a customers property dirty. It makes us look unprofessional and it could be costly. Now inside my truck is a different story sometimes 🤣
3 things every person should know. A good doctor, lawyer and a mechanic.

I had no idea this was a thing. Absolutely fantastic watching you. It’s like ASMR for car people.

You are THE MAN....and THE DAD...I hope your range includes San Bernardino. I will need your services soon.
Thank you! Yes I do service San Bernardino.
Dude awesome to see young man like your self hustling away at it, it reminds me of Miami back in the day
I appreciate it! It’s awesome to read comments like this!
I started wrenching in 1987.. I traveled the country working on Semi's for Caterpillar. I never saw a single mechanic use latex or Nitril gloves, except me. I also owned 2 hair Salons with my wife and had meetings where I did not want to have mechanic hands, so I used latex from the salons. I got a lot of runny looks. No mac,snap-on or Matco sold latex gloves.
One day in the shop I gave a box to one of the PM mechanics and I told him I would supply him with all the gloves he needed in the shop if he tried them for one week... he loved them.. within 1 years, every Mechanic wore them. It was nice as people lined up to wash their hands, I just walked by, took off gloves and tossed them in the trash and hands looked like I just washed them.
I worked at 3 other shops and started all those on them.. then the tool trucks started selling them and the last shop actually supplied them ! lol
You gotta use nitril if using brake clean !
Thank you for sharing that!
Wish we had a mobile service where I live. I'd be a regular customer.
I’m surprised you don’t. They are all over here. Only a few of us are legitimate companies with license and insurance though. Thank you for watching!
You do quaility work, it shows and you have an eye for detail. Continue with professionalism and honesty as you have demonstrated and you will build a fine business.
I love when clients just walk up to you like this . 👍🏼
Me too! Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Takes me back four decades to grandfather and I doing his work in west Texas. We fixed cars and tractors, combines, and all kinds of farming equipment. Thank you for your hard work.
By far this is ingenious a mechanic that can show up anytime is what this new era needs there needs to be mobile mechanics in every state
Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Always treats his customers with respect and honesty. He also treats their vehicles like they were his own. What a concept? Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
Just a dude changing brakes until 17:00.
Definitely
A competent mechanic that takes pride in his work, and does so with integrity is a rarity! I have no doubt that you will continue to be successful!
Thank you very much!
Excellent very professional work. Cheers.
Thank you!
You mobile mechanics are the greatest. I had an EGR valve problem one Saturday, I called the local mechanic who happened to be a mobile mechanic close to my house and he was able to help scan the error codes that day at my home, and he ordered a new part and fitted it in a couple of days!
Thank you for watching and commenting! We try our best!
You make it look so easy. I wanted to be a mobile mechanic when I was young (30 years ago). Sadly the company that I worked for went bust and couldn't get another job. No-one at the time was employing 1st or 2nd year apprentices, only 3rd and 4th year so I had to change career. My state was in a depression in the early 90's with 75% under 25 unemployed.
I promise sometimes it’s not easy my friend. It is unpredictable. You are always 1 broken bolt away from a very bad day. I appreciate the view and comment very much! Thank you.
I didn’t know mobile mechanics existed. That’s cool. I’m going to have to check my area for one. Thanks. And I love your professionalism.
I like how the gentleman gets in the zone of automobiles.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Top job! You did everything just right.
Thank you my friend!
Is anybody inspired? The quality and professionalism was top notch.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Good job professionally done
Thank you!
I have nothing but respect for hard working honest mobile mechanics like this guy. Without a hoist and shop equipment this is hard, back breaking miserable work! If a bolt snaps or some other bad thing happens they are screwed. You won’t see guys much over their mid 40’s doing mobile work. It is simply too hard especially in summer heat or winter rain and cold!
THANK YOU for not blocking the mail box!! My mail person will not deliver if the box is blocked😢😊
Same with mine 🤣 I’ve been yelled at before. Thank you for watching!
You have a great occupation that is set to grow enormously which I'm sure you know already. Car owners are holding on to their cars longer and your mobile service is a great value to people who work all the time. I like how your supplier supports you.
Thank you! I definitely appreciate my parts people.
Having all the right tools to do a proper and quick job ....priceless .
Definitely have to spend money to make money
I was a mobile tech for 28 years. I remember people driving up for check engine lights. But so many people want you to work dirt cheap. They think it's easy and cheap to run a mobile service. I'm glad I'm retired. 28 years was plenty.
You have a nice set up! And seem like you know what your doing. Best wishes!
Thank you! I appreciate it my friend! 14 years experience and I still learn something new almost everyday.
@@QualityMobileAutomotiveI’ve been at it for 40 years and like you said, your always learning. Be safe out there and keep the vids coming, thanks brother ✌️🇺🇸
@@deborahchesser7375 always! Im trying for a short video everyday and at least a long video every Friday. If I can figure this editing out better maybe 2 a week pretty soon here! Thanks for the support!
Auto Parts are very Competitive and the Customer Service sets them apart. Your Time is Money so it was Smart to have it Delivered to your Job Site. 👍🙏
Definitely! I love my Autozone as they make sure to give the best customer service?
i read the title and was 90% sure it was going to be a cop trying to jam you up for something that never happened
Thankfully not this time
From the UK.
I can see you're one of the good guys 👍
That would be a great side hustle for a good mechanic or maybe even a great fulltime gig. The jobs you can do are the most common and also priciest at a full service garage. Your overhead is minimal, and parts stores are just about everywhere. You charge the right rate and you'ld be so busy it would crazy.
Great video!! If you were in Winnipeg you would be doing my cv axle and ball joints.
Definitely a great business opportunity. I love what I do! Thank you for watching and commenting my friend! Much appreciated!
not in the snow no thanks
Done it in Scotland weather was the only drawback.
I consider myself a pretty good judge of character. Just happened to view one of your videos for the first time after it popped up on my feed, and I can just tell you are very honest. Very impressed how you conduct yourself while doing business. We need more like you. Wishing you great success. Take care
Thank you so much for your kind words I really appreciate it! And Thank you so much for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!
Great way of keeping the drive clean, my only fault which I am unsure if you did, you used your impact to fit the wheel nuts but when you use the torque wrench you hit the set of the wrench immediately in most cases, could that mean you are bang on with the impact first or did you skip a bit? The reason for asking is the nuts could be over tightened with the impact, it could be safer if you back them off first to then get the correct torque when you check for the final setup.
Thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it! Almost all lug nuts did turn with the torque wrench. I have it set halfway and I just get them snug. I have used this impact long enough to know where to stop and not over torque the wheels. I can guarantee these are set perfectly.
I have watched a Mobile mechanic He was honest and stayed at the job until He got the repair Wright
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Job well done sir. Carry On!
Thank you my friend I appreciate the support! It is humbling to hear all the positive feedback from everyone!
I use to go on runs with my nephew. Mobile mechanic is not an easy job. Spend a lot of time chasing after parts, waiting for parts. Getting defective parts or parts we had to take back to the shop and work on them to fit correctly. Some customers can be a pain. You fix something and something else breaks a week later and they think you should fix it for free. All kinds of dumb stuff. Try to explain that you can't just change a brake rotor on one side. While other regular customers can be very nice and thankful.
It is a tough job and yes I’ve had parts problems from all the different stores lately.
Man. That service body has to be nice to work out of. I'm not a mechanic but I do use a lot of tools and work out of a regular f250. I use milwaukeee packout boxes in back seat and its all organized but dang that service body would be epic.
It is absolutely amazing working out of a service bed! I don’t think I would want to do my job without it.
17:32 that’s not what I thought would happen. Slick work
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Like the channel, you seem to know what you’re doing, which is refreshing lol only advice I would give you and it’s personal more than anything is by a tripod for your GoPro. The camera moving around so much it’s kind of hard to follow.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback! I actually just got a tripod in yesterday. Will start using it in future videos. I’m looking at getting another camera also to have 2 points of view pretty soon!
I was just going to say the same thing. Hard to watch with the camera moving around all over the place.
@@jt9498 I appreciate the feedback! Thank you for watching! I’ll be using the tripod soon and as often as possible.
I was going to post the same when I saw yours.
@@968porsche9 thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated
This is why it's important to know the whole story before passing judgement. My info was for others and not a criticism. You obviously know your stuff and it's even cooler that you're mobile. Please do more videos and show how valuable your service is.
Thank you I appreciate it!
You don't play! Superfast!
Thank you! Efficient with time to stay on a schedule.
I'm a mechanic also i really enjoyed working outside on the road it was calming with the birds in the background just not the best when over 100 (40'c) bit warm
Yes the heat is terrible. Anything over 100 just sucks. It was 112 2 weeks ago here.
You might wanna invest in some knee pads for real
I recently purchased some. I’m not a fan of them. Im looking for something a little less bulky.
@@QualityMobileAutomotive Arc'teryx knee caps. Kind of pricey, but they were made for the tactical crowd, very low profile, maybe on the market. Slim, goes on easy, comes off easy when you try to take them off, and does everything a knee pad needs to do.
My brother was lucky to find an honest mobile mechanic husband and wife team in our area .They fixed his 06 F-150 4.6 litre. He'll never take his autos back to shady dishonest garages or dealerships .They showed up on time and didn't try to rip him off.
That’s great! Thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Nice Job,, you should pour the oil with the spout up which will go quicker.
Thank you! I’ll make sure to remember that on the next one!
I have been working on my vehicles for over 50 years doing everything they need and, I just learned this a few weeks ago, and you are correct. Of course, back in the day we had round oil cans you had to shove a metal spout into, so I have only been doing it wrong since those new designed bottles came out, ha ha.
@@OverlandOne as long as the oil level is full when we are done pouring we did something right 🤣
Also stops it running back down the bottle and eiminates the risk of glugging and missing the 710 filler hole.
Yes I do remember those round oil cans and metal spouts. We use to oil our skates and box scooters with them
Does anyone flush out the brake fluid anymore or is it seldom necessary?
I recommend it at the manufacturer intervals or if it’s dirty but most of the time the customers decline.
I do a partial flush by sucking it out of the reservoir at interval. You get 90% of the benefit with 10% of the work
@@drewschumann1 maybe I should do that as a courtesy when I do brakes? What do you think?
@@QualityMobileAutomotive It really doesn't take much. No bleeding brakes necessary. I say go for it
@@drewschumann1 I think we are going to start doing that. Thank you for your input! I appreciate it!
I broke down pulling a camper,and luckily i turned into an auto zone.They gave me a phone no.to a road mechanic.He showed up and replaced a water pump,and then he went on his merry way.Did stuff by the book.
