Hey Eric. Sorry about this situation. If you're in a crunch to get out, I'd be more than willing to help you pack/load boxes. Many hands make light work. You've helped me so much over the years, it seems right to return the favor. I'm in central Ohio. It's a quick drive down I-71.
Second that opinion. I'm 18 minutes away from KI. No strings, no hooks, just willing to help someone who has helped me as well. More than happy to help you out.
I was in the same situation 3 years ago. The place I thought I was going to move into fell through and not much later I found a much better place for less money.
Surprise smacks upside the head like this can sometimes be blessings in disguise, maybe it's an opportunity for a massive rethink. Not pretending to give advice, but stuff like this has the power to actually strengthen you, not weaken you. Also, the timing of finding out the new place landlord was ethically challenged like that is useful information, you may have been spared future trouble with that one! Cheers, be well!
If they're going to do something like this, are they really the sort of person that you want to work with into the future and rent from? Just food for thought...

@@rogerstephenson5639 I agree with this and is part of what I tried to comment earlier. They screw you once. They know they can keep screwing you and you'll happily just take it.
Man that makes me upset about that other guy doing a switch on you. I hope you're able to find something bigger near you while you're packing. Sorry to hear about what's going on.
not gonna lie, I like watching people clean up/pack up/re-organize their spaces. Moving vlogs are also fun. So if you do find the time, DO document it so we can follow along.
I subscribe to several automotive repair channels, but yours was the first a long, long time ago. I feel like you're my good buddy who's in a bind and I'm powerless to help. You're an upbeat kind of guy and I'm sure everything will work out to your advantage in the end. Keep the faith.
It sucks u are having to go through this. but maybe it is a blessing in disguise . maybe you will find something much better than you had originally planned.
I had a landlord for a house I was living at for years say out of the blue, just like how you described, "when can you leave, when can you be gone". Years of being a helpful, clean tenant meant nothing in the end.
Like he said. It's business. Imagine you're renting out a house and you either need money and need to liquidate to get out of a big bind (say losing your current house or medical bills) or you have family that's losing their place and you're offering your other home. You gotta take care of YOUR problems and YOUR family. If you don't want to be in a situation like that whether it's your house or business, you gotta own the building. Obviously that's never easy. But that's how it works and if you want it to work, you gotta make it work.
@@meme5887 I can understand the sentiment, the extreme of that though is of course the sociopathic nature of mega-corporations. But I was a college student who also helped manage the property, current tennants, and take care of the structure. Handshakes just don't mean what they used to.

Sorry to hear the business arrangements you had made did not go through as planned. But wanted to thank you for all your content. I replaced my timing belt with a new kit and couldn't have been happier. I'm in a rough spot financially and going to a shop wasn't an option. I did it myself and have been working on my '05 Pilot with your help in here. Thanks! Be blessed! I'm sure everything will fall into place for you! Thanks again ETCG.
When I opened my shop years ago, I bought it, just to avoid situations like this. The monthly mortgage was less than a lease. No doubt one of the best moves I ever made.
Hope it all works out for you the move is going to be a pain depending on money and space could you build a shop on you land if you have the space and money to do so
Oh my God Eric I’ve been watching your videos every the car guy or a very long time and it breaks my heart to see you going through what you’re going through my prayers are with you and I wish you the best man I know this is easy certain number hang in there my friend we all go through bumpy roads and bumpy situation there’s a race move right and something tells me you’re going to get the space that you need at me God bless you and I wish you the best. Mike.🥺😇
I’m sorry you are going through this man. I highly highly suggest you find a place that you can purchase for good. I know it’s expensive but you can make it yours and yours for good. It will only go up in value. Renting is a hell of a gamble man.
I'm so sorry to hear this Eric. Here in my area there is a CRAZY boom going on, and it's put a lot of small shops out on the streets (unfortunately that's how I got a smoking hot deal on my 2 post lift). Companies are coming in and dropping 4-5year pre-paid leases down on commercial shop space and landlords are actually getting more than asking prices. The guy I got that lift from was hit with a Rent increase, but bellied up with a a 2 year (pre-pay), but 2 other companies wanted it and started a bidding war over it. It's CRAZY what is going on here right now. Good luck in all this man. I really hope it doesn't get you down.
I really don't want to sound like the "dirty local" Idahoan but it's the mega corporations moving/being pushed out of CA. Amazon & FedEx are putting in 2 mega warehouses in s.e. ID and all the smaller sub-contractor businesses that go along with that are sprouting up all around them. That shop my friend lost, its in an industrial park in Rigby that has 10 separate 4 bay shops and a string of storage units on the other side. The company that got the lease on it kicked everyone out (including the storage units) and are going to use the whole complex for cardboard boxes & packaging to sale to Amazon. 2 years ago we where number 3 in the nation for most affordable housing, now we are number 1 in the nation for most overpriced housing. It's beyond crazy.
@@JimmyMakingitwork I think we know. lol.. the PPP fund gave one of my buddies $20k, just because he owns his own small business laying tile; and it was based on your income (I think he made nearly $100k that year). So, I'm sure a lot of shops got at least that much money. If you were self employed in 2020, and didn't get a PPP loan", then you missed out on the Trillions of dollars that they wasted on everyone. I know that there were many companies that got paid over $10 Million-- because like I said, it was based on your income.
I wouldn’t be too sad about getting a place that’s not as big as you really want. There’s ways of organising your cars and your stuff to maximise your space. I have a shop and I really try to maximise my space and it works. And I know you’ll make it work. Keep us updated and keep the videos comin. Best of luck.
I just want to wish you well Eric. Life happens and things pass. You are one that has the ability to make bad situations better through good decisions and hard work. Just wishing you well while you're going through it.
Yes that certainly does suck! That said you have a great attitude, you certainly have climbed a few big hurdles but Eric a good place is out there and you will find it. Best wishes my friend
I look forward to watching your videos on Friday. I'll miss them while you get things taken care of and I'll be eager for their return. I hope that something incredible opens up for you. You deserve it.
You take care of your priorities! I look forward to your videos whenever your return later in the year and will always be a subscriber. Sometimes life throws you a smelly surprise but have faith - the future will be brighter!
Eric, think about all the crazy repairs you've done and seen in your time. Your a problem solver, you'll get thru this. Sorry to hear the other guys are treating you like that. Praying you find a place that meets your needs!
Man. I feel you now. My landlord decided to sell building overnight .. nd got it into escrow in 3 weeks. You are very calm which is good. 1st 3 weeks I went into depression. I have 9k sf warehouse full of parts. : - ( but then I think this is life and I got to get ready to move no matter what. Hope you already found your new place and wish me a good luck finding one in California..
as a long time viewer i would gladly come help for a day or 2 of moving, if i was not 10 hours away. life happens my friend keep your head up and keep moving forward
Hey Eric, I've been watching your videos for years and I love your informative content and I am sorry to hear the troubles you are having. I look forward to new content when you have moved. Good luck and thank you.
I know for sure things will work out for you Eric, because you are determined they will! All the best wishes with packing, sorting (a) the new place out and moving Eric, as most loyal subscribers, i will be waiting patiently for you to come back with new awesome ETCG video's!
My partner and I went a little over a decade of leasing a commercial space, and after several broken promises/leases, causing several moves. We bit the bullet and bought our own place, big commitment yes, dread of having to move again in a few months, no. Hopefully you find what you're looking for, love the content!
I completely understand your desire to lease. I’ve thought about the pros and cons myself. However, this type of situation is exactly why I wouldn’t lease and instead build my own building, especially after reaching a certain point. I don’t fault you for leasing, I completely understand, but this type of stuff bothers me more than maintaining property. Anyway, good luck with the move. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing more.
I had an escape clause on a lease with a 90 day notice . The landlord decided to sit on his hands and just hand me his lawyers letter telling me to be out in 90 days . I ended up in a storage warehouse with multiple units . Lucky it works for me . I don't know if you can comb the area to find a place , possibly not advertised . Sometimes someone may be thinking of downsizing and just asking makes them decide . A free wanted ad on Craigslist is a possibility . But moving SUCKS . I've done it 3X . Good Luck .
Be well. As many others have said, we'll be here, take whatever time you need. I understand commercial real estate (at least the Australian version) and don't envy the task ahead of you.
Like your videos, just found your. Sorry to hear about situation. I know what your going through. Happened to me after 10 years guy would not renew my lease. So I went out and built my own building. Was there for 20 years and now selling and retired. Just do they right thing and things will go good for you! God bless you
Ain't life grand! You'll find a place Eric, hang in there! You're such a great help to so many of us DIYers, I'm thinking the Force will smile on you soon and that tradition will continue. Dayton is certainly too far to go, but there are empties to spare up there. I would mention crime is high there, but after watching your CatCon thieves video, where isn't it... WELL!
Hey Eric you got this don’t worry about the pause it’s needed to grow further. I love at the end when you said it’s part of being in the big league is so true. I was told once sometimes you gotta take a step back to move forward 🙏🏽🤛🏽
😑 Oh Eric, what a situation that has been thrown at you. So very sorry for the disappointment over the timing and switcharoo... Hope you have enough people you can call on to help you relocate. I feel terrible for you and pray for a successful outcome that will be better than you expect at this point. My prayers and best wishes to you and all involved. I will certainly miss your terrific videos bit do understand your priorities. Not fair of the new owner and the current owner. Just stay healthy, not over stressed and know you will triumph overall... God Bless Mr. Eric and all taht help you!!!! 🌟
I am sorry the real estate system led to this situation. Dealing with the same thing with purchasing a home. I know you stated it is just business, but it doesn’t make it less stressful
Good luck Eric, sorry for the frustrating position you are in. I don't live any where near you but sure you could find local fans if you extra lifting power, once you find the destination of course. Fingers crossed!
I feel for you Eric, fingers crossed that you get sorted asap. In the mean time... waiting patiently for your return 😉Kind regards from Galway, Ireland 👍😉🍻💚
In a previous reply, you said you didn't need to charge family. Well, in this reality, money apparently does make a difference. Make and save as best you can, so you can have better control of your destiny. This current situation does suck big time and I hope you come out of it with a better deal than before.
I've been saving for more than a year for this. As I mentioned in the video, I also planned for this eventuality, if I haded't, the new place would not even be a possibility. Money isn't the issue here, it's available space. Thanks for the comment.
You got this bro! Great words of wisdom on business ! Nothing personal right. I have been watching your vids when you were in that little dark shop. Your an inspiration!!!
Eric, I hope you find a better place soon. I watched your video on renting or buying and was convinced that renting is the way to go, at least starting out. I have been thinking about starting an auto repair business and I find your input very valuable. Stay strong and and take care of business. We will be here when you come back.
Hang in there Eric! You're going to be fine. Just focus on the problem. There's always a solution. Look forward to seeing some more of your videos in the new place
Wow! That is bull****! I wish I could come and help too! By the way, in response to your take on commercial real estate, Louis Rossman (the Right to Repair UA-camr) has merchandise available stating, "It's not lying, it's commercial real-estate!" based on his own experiences in NYC. That statement couldn't be more appropriate now. On to bigger and better for you Eric! I hope you find a space that's better than you could imagine. And I'll be here too, ready to watch whenever you return!
Good luck, Eric! You know your shit when it comes to these things, so I know it's going to work out. I suppose the worst case is a few large storage units. The hard part is keeping the riffraff out of them. It was inevitable you would need to take a break to deal with this. I know many followers are fickle, but I'll be waiting for that notification bell when you're back online.
I predict 6 months from now we will be watching a video where Eric says "You know what? I'm glad it turned out the way it did because...".
Hopefully it will be that way. 👍
Hey Eric. Sorry about this situation. If you're in a crunch to get out, I'd be more than willing to help you pack/load boxes. Many hands make light work. You've helped me so much over the years, it seems right to return the favor. I'm in central Ohio. It's a quick drive down I-71.

I'm about 3 mins from your current shop. Would be willing to pitch in as well.
You guys are awesome, I just wanted to say that. God bless!
I wish I could help, too! (Please keep us updated. What's your favourite beer?)
Same, had no idea you were even located here.
Do what you gotta do!!!
We will be here when you return…
Hey be safe during this move man!!
Hang in there Eric, this too shall pass and ETCG will be better than ever in a new space. We'll be here when that happens.
I was in the same situation 3 years ago. The place I thought I was going to move into fell through and not much later I found a much better place for less money.

What's there to lie about

I understand commercial real estate (at least the Australian version) and don't envy the task ahead of you.
Like your videos, just found your. Sorry to hear about situation. I know what your going through. Happened to me after 10 years guy would not renew my lease. So I went out and built my own building. Was there for 20 years and now selling and retired. Just do they right thing and things will go good for you! God bless you
Ain't life grand! You'll find a place Eric, hang in there! You're such a great help to so many of us DIYers, I'm thinking the Force will smile on you soon and that tradition will continue. Dayton is certainly too far to go, but there are empties to spare up there. I would mention crime is high there, but after watching your CatCon thieves video, where isn't it... WELL!
Very sorry to hear of your plight. Shit happens with increasing regularity.
Good Luck.
Hey Eric you got this don’t worry about the pause it’s needed to grow further. I love at the end when you said it’s part of being in the big league is so true. I was told once sometimes you gotta take a step back to move forward 🙏🏽🤛🏽
Bummer, do what you gotta do, got alerts set up for both your channels when you’re back.
Excited to see the new shop you end up going with!
Eric, sorry about the situation, I wish you well !
😑 Oh Eric, what a situation that has been thrown at you. So very sorry for the disappointment over the timing and switcharoo... Hope you have enough people you can call on to help you relocate. I feel terrible for you and pray for a successful outcome that will be better than you expect at this point. My prayers and best wishes to you and all involved. I will certainly miss your terrific videos bit do understand your priorities. Not fair of the new owner and the current owner. Just stay healthy, not over stressed and know you will triumph overall... God Bless Mr. Eric and all taht help you!!!! 🌟
I am sorry the real estate system led to this situation. Dealing with the same thing with purchasing a home. I know you stated it is just business, but it doesn’t make it less stressful
Exactly. When I'm told "don't take it personally" I've noticed it's never when someone does something kind and thoughtful.
Good luck Eric, sorry for the frustrating position you are in. I don't live any where near you but sure you could find local fans if you extra lifting power, once you find the destination of course. Fingers crossed!
I'll pray for you ETCG. Sometimes we get what we get.
I'd love to see a timelapse video of the shop being packed up
I feel for you Eric, fingers crossed that you get sorted asap. In the mean time... waiting patiently for your return 😉Kind regards from Galway, Ireland 👍😉🍻💚
That is a real bummer , hopefully it gose smooth.and best of luck in your endeavors. .......cheers
In a previous reply, you said you didn't need to charge family. Well, in this reality, money apparently does make a difference. Make and save as best you can, so you can have better control of your destiny. This current situation does suck big time and I hope you come out of it with a better deal than before.
I've been saving for more than a year for this. As I mentioned in the video, I also planned for this eventuality, if I haded't, the new place would not even be a possibility. Money isn't the issue here, it's available space. Thanks for the comment.
@@ETCG1 I wish I could help you find, or build your own shop. You deserve it as an honest and articulate guy. Best always!
You got this bro! Great words of wisdom on business ! Nothing personal right. I have been watching your vids when you were in that little dark shop. Your an inspiration!!!
Good luck to you! I'm sure it will work out somehow.
Eric, I hope you find a better place soon. I watched your video on renting or buying and was convinced that renting is the way to go, at least starting out. I have been thinking about starting an auto repair business and I find your input very valuable. Stay strong and and take care of business. We will be here when you come back.
Hang in there Eric! You're going to be fine. Just focus on the problem. There's always a solution. Look forward to seeing some more of your videos in the new place
Good luck Eric!
Moving is incredibly stressful. See you on the other side!
Sorry to hear about your problems, that really sucks, but, it’ll probably work out good for you in the long run
Damn that sucks. Hopefully you'll find a even bigger and better place.
Wow! That is bull****! I wish I could come and help too!
By the way, in response to your take on commercial real estate, Louis Rossman (the Right to Repair UA-camr) has merchandise available stating, "It's not lying, it's commercial real-estate!" based on his own experiences in NYC. That statement couldn't be more appropriate now.
On to bigger and better for you Eric! I hope you find a space that's better than you could imagine. And I'll be here too, ready to watch whenever you return!
Hopefully everything turns out for the best.
Good luck, Eric! You know your shit when it comes to these things, so I know it's going to work out. I suppose the worst case is a few large storage units. The hard part is keeping the riffraff out of them.
It was inevitable you would need to take a break to deal with this. I know many followers are fickle, but I'll be waiting for that notification bell when you're back online.
Thank you!
