When you open with the disclosure that you are already under suspension, you know we are in for a wild ride.
So that’s why AAA is so slow they’re buying 290 dollar lancers and coke😂😂
That’s a small part of it. Haha. There are also millions of AAA mbrs and only thousands of roadside employees.
Yea we’re slow most of the time because the majority of people are terrible at being self sufficient lol
They also stop to get donuts and coffees, and they sure take their time.
You also don't realize that while we may be 1 mile away, they are gonna send us on a call 30 minutes away first cuz its an emergency call since some lady locked her keys in the car with groceries in the trunk and her milk might go bad.
Jeff Justice haha yup, back and forth, back and forth across town
A new tactic for shrewd negotiation we never imagined.
Great to have you back in the interview chair Austin. Sorry to hear about the suspension but I am sure that job was good for lots of amazing stories.
Thanks for having me Ed!
@@AustinsGarage , please tell us why you got fired!
@@Turbo-smokey YES!!
Ed Bolian Ed Bolian officially one of my new favorite stories Ed hows the LP640 treating you
This guy brought me gas (how stupid of me) up in Milton one night and he's awesome.
i ran out of gas, like 2 miles away from my house because my mom need to make it to the post office before it closed, and i picked her up from work... i was running on E, and she really needed to make it to the post office before it close.. we def made it to the post office, but the car wouldnt start back on lol...
He even did a bump with me when i ran out
Tom Upchurch Milton Freewater??
New Hampshire? I heard him say Canton earlier, and I was like canton? New Hampshire,?... that's not far from me
@@gibby4819 speaking of Upchurch, did you catch the Ryan Upchurch "dissin' about SCRUballs crew, over the Eminem beat
UPDATE... My suspension has been upgraded to termination. SO THATS GOOD.
more work for a different company!
Austin, you're a treat. God bless.
@@jeffsmith6371 Well the real problem is Im 23 with 10 cars and no income lol
What company was it then?

Lost a well paying steady job cause of one of them people screwing up the entire supply line for 3 months.
I know of a great business by the name of Lincoln Financial Company, they hire maintenance who have been working in maintenance for many years, and train them to run their maintenance departments, this is an amazing thing that more businesses should do. I know a guy that works for Lincoln and they put him through a year of paid college, while paying him more than he had ever been paid before. Also the higher ups understand that they do not know about maintenance and they leave the department alone. Lincoln Financial is the dream job place for people in the field of maintenance.
We call them Clipboard Warriors
"I work for a roadside assistance company, not naming any names but there's 3 As in it."
7:03 they blurred out the name on the door, but not the website on the rollback
I can't tell you what hotel I'm staying at, but there are two trees involved.
This was a great story, need this guy on this channel more often lol
WhateverNevermind agreed 😂
Thanks Bro!
agreed.... he is instantly likeable
Absolutely, great episode.
Yes! I feel like he has way more to say and not enough time
"Take care of yourself...i'm getting fired in about a week..." lmao!!
“I know she wasn’t a member of my family because she was absolutely stunning”
Lol
"Let me lock myself into a garage with a running car"
Place your bets, has this person managed to off themselves by sheer idiocy yet?
Nature is pretty straight forward, so I'd give it a 50/50 chance, maybe more towards this person being dead if it's many years ago

Not allowed to ask for a phone number but allowed to receive one. Should work the same way with coke
"I don't do cocaine, I just like the smell of it" lol
Loll
i just carry enough in my nose to smell it
The only time he touched his nose during the entire episode was when he talked about cocaine lmao. I see ya buddy
Well it's a hell of a drug
Funny enough it happens at 4:20
Im glad im not the only one who seen that
Lmao
Gotta love the guy locked out of a convertible with the top down. BTW... It's not just that people are dumb about cars. It's just that people are REALLY Dumb. Nothing surprises me anymore.
I've heard this as a dumb blond joke but never thought it would happen in real life.
I once had someone ask me how much a $2 scratch off is.
JC'S Adventures shoulda said 302 and pocketed the rest
There are people that think the earth is flat. Human stupidity is infinite.
The wife saying "we waited out here in-20°C for 2 hours for this!" Was the funniest thing I heard all that winter, soft top Jeep, unzip the top and reach in and unlock the door and hand them the keys!
Potential employer Do you have any references?
sends link to this video
I work for AAA in Indiana and I can relate to every story he just told. Except for the lift deal. Haven’t gotten that lucky yet. I do come across people only having a tire that’s not mounted to a rim and they expect me to put it on for them.
I work for them too and I hate when people do that
Same had it a couple times where they pull a tire with no rim out of the trunk and ask me to put it on haha
"The company drug tests I cant"😂. Said every smoker ever🤐
“Just plates and plates of food, I sign up for those days” hahah legend
You make money and you skip both the cooking and the dishes. Definitely the right move here.
I wouldn't trust a stranger's cooking.
Now that's what you call skip the dishes. ( No washing plates and cutlery ).
@@Apethgrader : When you go to a restaurant, and you don't know the people there, your putting trust in strangers and strangers cooking too, the waiter or waitress, chef or chefs, etc.
If they give I just take it an throw it away when they leave
I was a pizza delivery guy for several years. The number of times I was offered dope as a tip (weed or cocaine mostly), man, I could've been Pablo f*cking Escobar.
“Oh the top was down...” LMAO! Good stuff Austin!
If it was still the Stone Age, people like this would definitely be used as bait when hunting Saber-Toothed Tigers-- #Truth
Maybe that is why we still have them as their useful talents as "live bait" has kept them valuable and their gens past on@@pastorofmuppets325
If someone offers you drugs you accept it and say thanks because drugs are expensive
lolz in drug snob
I get it, drugs are expensive, but also its illegal.
If you got the drugs, you will be in troubles, with the authorities.
Not taking drugs is better than to take drugs.
You be better off to accept fake money, than drugs, at least you can honestly say you were paid for automobile roadside services, ( jump start cars etc. ) and that's how you got paid for it.
Fake money is not legal as well, but some look so good, its extremely hard to tell apart.
Honestly never laughed so hard in my life. 😂. I wish the best for this gentleman and he finds employment soon.
I can’t believe someone asked him did he want some weed or coke 😂
8:34 - 9:08 😂
Love the super effective way you masked all the AAA logos 😂😂 Except for the 30 you missed lol
I’m pretty sure the scrap metal value of the lift would be more than $400 bucks....glad you talked them down to $300 😎
Steel must be damned expensive where you are. Most places simple steel is hardly worth hauling to the scrap dealer.l
@7:44 7:44 finds out he just called his 1st cousin “absolutely stunning”
Please have this dude in some more. I would love to hear more of his stories. Dude seems cool.
Awesome video you gotta do more tow truck driver stories these were hilarious.
Thanks ed bring on more towing stories.
And bring some strippers the AAA guys will bring the cocaine
This was a great story, the convertible one is killing me 😂
"the top was down"
I audibly laughed.
The guy in the convertible made this video a great ending!! LMAO! “Youre an idiot”....”Yea i know..”
Thanks Ed & others at VinWiki for such great content!
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching!
I definitely appreciate you taking the time to reply as well! I’m 25 and I buy n sell cars myself.. I really look up to you so thank you for bein so informative and such an inspiration!
I wanna work up to flipping exotics
Great stories! I was a tow truck driver for a while, and yes, you never know what's around the next corner. I kept seeing photos of the old suicide door Lincoln. I was hoping you'd have a story on that!
Stockholm syndrome is when you fall in love with your captor. But yeah, sometimes the tow bill might make you feel that way. :-)
Actualky, Stockholm syndrome is a situation where a captive begins to SYMPATHIZE with their captor and will often begin to help them in their goals.
Nevertheless, he did say that what he experienced wasnt that anyway, which is correct.
What he was describing was closer to Nightingale syndrome, but the syndrome describes caregivers falling for those they're caring for, although the reverse (like in the case) has been noted as a form of "transference"
Ed. How do I acquire one of the four remaining Murciélago SV's with a manual? I need the Murciélago king to assist me.

This is great lol
I wouldn't want cocaine but I will take it and flip real quick. 100% profit margin is pretty nice
And get thrown in prison after selling to an undercover cop
@@jonwayne1276 because that is so common........
@@xeldinn86 common enough. One sting is all it takes to get sent to prison
First time offense for an amount someone is willing to get away it wouldn’t even be a felony or jail time... and yes its rare... in NY bartenders sell it to customers in the club...
@@kingcrowns8801 ya not worth the jail time
That guy with the convertible was smoking some good Sh!,t, LMFAO what a legend.
I had my truck towed by AAA recently. Called and said it wouldn't start and needed to be towed to my shop. When the driver showed up I popped the hood and showed him there wasn't a motor and the trans was held in by a 2x4 and some ratchet straps. He got a good laugh and 20 bucks for helping me out,
I like this guy. Good job Ed.
And he’s honest.
I like you. good job me.
Fuck! I remember you now! You had the Yugo and was sick as fuck with Doug Demuro 🤣. Thought you looked familiar
I can't believe he came back the next day for the lift and it was actually still there
So true...I've been doing this work for 10 years...only thing is you're probably only scratching the surface on the amazing shit that happens working roadside...rewarding work & amazingly unique.
I feel them damn toyota locks 😂 I had some ditzy blonde locked the keys in her moms 06 highlander that was fun
Northern Redneck Boyz same happened to me, had to bust the window after 2 hours of trying
I do roadside and damn these stories are spot on!!!! I probably saved at least 4 people closing garage doors after starting the car. Don't get me started on Toyota lexus security feature...
I used to dispatch for the same "large company" in Atlanta. I had the same call. Lockout, "Keys in ignition, and priority, top is down and it's starting to rain". I called the member, and I glad I did because her first words were "I'm not a blonde". The keys were jammed in the ignition and wouldn't turn. That was a call takers error because it requires a locksmith. Called a locksmith and got her service.
I got this story from my mentor when I was a 1st year mechanical apprentice, it goes like this. When he was a 2nd-year he bought up an old non running ford for himself to fix up and use and when he got it all in place and started up the car he couldn't figure out why the battery light keeps coming on, so he called his older brother, which is an auto-electrician, to assist him. When his brother got there he started laughing and showed him the fan belt which was still in its packaging on top of his work bench, it's 30 years later now and when his brother comes by he will still say, 'remember the fan belt'.
"The top was down" lol
“People don’t know anything about cars” shows a boosted 2jz sc300 lmao
I thought the picture was meant to show us how stupid people are, the car is jacked from under the intercooler
This guy is great! A lot stories on the channel are about expensive super cars and things like that. This is just a real dude trying to hustle!
I love this guy.
I love you too.
Go away gus
these stories were great i want to hear more of this dude's stories
Had me laughing the whole way through, good shit hahaha
FINALLY. SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME LAUGHING AT MY JOKES.
This is by far my favorite automotive UA-cam channel lol. I love the stories
Nice job. Great stories. Thumbing up
“And he handed me some like cocaine and I was like I really don’t want any”
Yeah that's what he said
Bolt that’s crazy
this is some honest day to day stories i can say i have been offered food too
pesky rules hahaha
Great video and I do hope he can keep his job - he seems perfect in that job. I have a local tow service on speed dial (not kidding).
TBH it is very hard to make me laugh through the screen cause I just feel awkward laughing on my own, but this time... you did it twice in a row :D well done! More stories from him please!
I drove tow truck for about 4 years for AAA. This is way too relatable haha.
The last time I was this early DMC wasn’t bankrupt yet
JP B
Damn, stuck in the ‘80s much?
The Disco Mix Club is doin just fine!
Damn bro you were here before this channel was even invented
DMC... NOT Bankrupt... Are you Marty Mcfly by any chance?
Possible that this is the best story to air. We need more stories
I'd love to hear more of this guy's stories.
“Pot, Marajuwana, the devils lettuce” u mean weed?lmfao
Bring this guy back to talk about the stupid company rules and some examples where he ignored them.
This guy needs to come back for more videos. Great story as always. Hopefully you find a place to set up that Lift and good luck finding a new job, hopefully you find one soon.
Mountians and 4x4's gotten pretty good on the auto lock system for Toyota’s and Lexus, just pop that lock on the inside with the reach in tool, and at the same time pull the exterior door handle, easy once you get the timing down but it’s a bitch when the alarm goes off and you keep messing up.
Good stories and nice to have something a little different from the usual.

I knew this was going to be good when saw title... worked 5 years on breakdowns myself and so true. I ALWAYS volunteered for Christmas & New Year shifts for the crazy tips and the food supplies lol
This guy is on point. I worked for AAA Texas for a couple years
8:58
I like you, Austin! Hahaha :D.
Sketchy apartment complexes. Yeah, they always have garbage Malibu's and Impalas.
True
6 months being a road side/tow OP? Try 15 years of it. Drunk customers, pissed off cops, "distracted" drivers, packs of dogs, fatal recoveries, bad situations, awesome customers and amazing people!
Quality story teller would love to see him again
Good job blurring out company logo. But it still says AAA on the side of tow truck. 7:03
Let evolution take its course, hahahaha, loved it
Loved this. I too work the same job but with a small personally owned company and love it. But he definitely hit it all on the head. Hilarious
Bring this guy in again! I feel like he has many more stories to tell!!! and I also have the time to listen to them!!!
Great stories from this guy! would definitely want him more on the channel telling more stories!
These were some good ones best one was, "Should I let nature run its course?"
LOL "the top was down" was where I lost it completely
We need more of these stories!!
I met a guy who works for a tow truck company. He showed me videos of himself doing burnouts and drifting in some of the cars he impounded. Kinda pissed me off tbh. Lesson learned, never get towed.
The convertible with the keys 'locked in' HAS to be the mechanic equivalent of the IT guy's 'broken cupholder' (Optical Drive)
"Hello; IT department. Have you tried turning it off and on again?" 😅
This was a great guest!! Very very funny
"Man, take care of yourself, I'm getting fired in like, a week." I fucking died.
THE "DEVILS LETTUCE" ?!! SWEET JEEZUZ....
Yes! More Austin!
Okay this guy is great. I want to see more of him.
YES! I do realize that this video came out half a year ago, but still. I was missing this guy’s customer service stories so much after his Nissan knife story, he just sounds like he has so many crazy, weird-ass stories. But who could forget about his Yugo?
Great Video 🐧🚗❤️
Last time I was this early, John just thought he was way faster than everyone else who knew what yellow flags meant.
Nightingale syndrome is what you were thinking. Great video
A new Thing!
Roadside assist stories YES!
