MR . CRAIG FLYING WHEELS I WOULD NOT PAY THAT MAN THAT DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB ON YOUR HUMVEE THE MAN DID NOT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WITH YOU HUMVEE DONT PAY THE $800.00 DID HE FIX YOUR PROBLEM ARE DID HE TELL YOU WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOUR MILITARY VEHICLE HUMVEE DONT PAY NOTTT
Doesn't want headaches but is moving to Florida and will buy exotics and get a whole new batch of headaches!
In a odd sence we kinda gotta enjoy being punished in this line of work. 90% the time I have sadomasochistic jokes running through my head… 🥲🥲🥲
I’ve lived in south FL most all my life and the car business here, especially the exotics, are 10 levels above anything he’s ready for. He’s got trouble running a small used car lot in a relatively uncompetitive market
@@PlutoTheGod and now with crazy storms and flooding, its concerning that titles are being wiped and flood cars are a real issue
When you buy at Barette Jackson or similar.... you paid the highest price that vehicle is likely to bring.... no bargains at Mecum or Barett Jackson
You’re paying all the money it’s ok if plan on keeping it but if you plan on selling it then you’re screwed.
Both those auctions are ripoffs
@@paulkelly4731 I would never buy or sell at any of those auctions !
Went from crying wheels to dying wheels. But this is to new beginnings. Can’t wait for the future for you
Stop!...too funny
Craig you say you don't want headaches but you buy these vehicles that are non essential & in a bad economy. I know it is boring for the viewers but you have to get back to buying cars that people need. Welcome to Florida Craig,stop stressing,you're going to die young if you dont.
Yep buying cars for YT - big mistake 🤑🤑
When you paid 30k for a military hummer i knew you were making a big mistake.
Sucks to say it but yeah you’re spot on…
Those things used to go for huge money in the late 90s. I knew somebody paid 65k for one in mid 90s.
Nothing makes sense here. In one video he complains he's buying too much crap for clicks, the next he pays 3x for old Hummer and Cyber truck.
@vadim7590 when you have his money he don't haft to make sense!
Anyway u look at it IT'S still A MILATARY !!!!
During my life I have often looked back and thought to myself….”what was I thinking?” I believe you are experiencing the same
Maybe soaking the whole electrical system inside wasn't the best thing to do? 😂
Idk who this mechanic is, but 875$ for a "diagnosis"??? I think that bridge was supposed to be burn a long time ago
And to think I used to be able to listen to a car and say what's wrong with it
Not to mention why would you wanna go back to that person anyways
@@aGuyNamedDingus I would go back and demand my money back
In Florida specifically Miami he’s sweet😂😂😂😂 jk jk but should’ve went to a big shop $150-250 diagnostic
It wasnt even diagnosed. $875 to tell him something is wrong with the injectors and cannot say which one, Guy is a clown or does not have the equipment to justify charging full rate to diagnose.
90% of us knew you fucked up buying that thing for so much
12k is a decent price
I think my wife heard me yelling at the screen a 1/4 mile away when he bid on that pile in the last video . The sad thing is you cannot trust ANYTHING these auctions say...even the high end ones. It was a 6K military truck with a terrible pain job to hide everything, with ugly ass 5,000 wheels and cheap doors.
Exactly
Just dumb
$12k is what a non-running one needing other work sells for at a military auction.
@@TheOriginalLugnuts not sure what auctions our looking at but they come up these days all the 5-6k running. This "kevlar" coated abomination was nothing but a seller dump that hooked a big fish and laughed his way to the bank. You can buy a proper museum quality military restored m998 or similar model for the kind of money he has into this thing.
IMHO the 14,000 miles are actual. Most M998 Humvee sit in a motor pool most of the time, especially if it was assigned to a guard unit. When you pulled the engine cover the motor is spotless. Nice truck that brings back many memories, I wish I could have it here but not meant to be. Good luck and God bless.
That cheesy Rhinoliner paint job was your first warning sign that the problems are all well covered up. Thats a start. The rest is a nightmare I'm sure.
If you think all your “headaches” are going to away in Florida, you are sadly mistaken.
Florida is probably the most competitive car market in all of the US, if he struggles where he’s at good luck down here even half the customers are scheming.
You might be going "from the frying pan into the fire!"
@@PlutoTheGodit’ll make for good content though 😂
Surprised someone offered 12k for that epic pos
You should have fixed the issue before bringing it to auction
You are going to run a car dealership from 2000 miles away and you don't want headaches? LOL!
Yeah, that's not going to happen...if you're not sitting on top of your business...it'll float away and be absorbed by others.
yes , you did great . going to the auction , diagnosed the leak , got it fixed for 300 . the auction was the best place take a leak .
There's more headaches in Florida than you'll ever dream of in New Hampshire
AstroAi. It seems like the mobile diesel mechanic sized you up and was taken advantage of you. 🐶😊
Military hummer with truck bed appearing stuff all over it. That's a very limited buyer pool. 🤣
When it comes to my own personal taste yeah I think doing the whole vehicle is stupid. However I am an authorized dealer and do spray in bed liners at my shop just as another source of income for the shop
And we get on average two requests a week to do the full body sprays on jeeps and off road mud park trucks 1 guy even wanted his AC vents done kinda stupid but hey if they are paying me Im not about to try and talk them out of it..
However I do think Barrett-Jackson kinda misrepresented the Hummer though by saying Kevlar coated
To be fair yes most 2 part spray in bed liners has some Kevlar in it. But by them advertising it as a true military jeep and Kevlar coated most people is going to think they are bidding on a bullet proof jeep and that's just simply not true.
They should have promoted it as a retired military Hummer with a full body bed liner for added durability
Maybe he should call Arnold the terminator.
And crappy doors and wheels too!!
BEFORE you consider burning the mechanic, try having a sincere and honest conversation with him. Let him know that his diagnosis didn't solve the problem. Show him the receipt for the work you had done that fixed it. Ask him how he might like to make things right with you. I wouldn't feel right about charging someone for an incorrect diagnosis. Maybe he won't charge you. Maybe he will discount the amount. If he still wants to charge you the full amount, ask him if he would explain his perspective. I think it's worth a try because then he gets the opportunity to have integrity and try to work something out with you. Good luck! Love your content!!!
He wanted the jam him up with a 3k job after charging him 875. The mechanic is a scammer. F him.
There's way too many mechanic scammers/ fraudsters...!!! Especially the dealerships...!!!!
Wouldn’t never agreed to that regardless 🤦🏿♂️ hopefully he doesn’t do it in Florida fck it hire me man
Dr. Phil said it best..."you've got issues!"
so true on that VW van. Mechanical is where it's at for me. After paying too much money for electronic gizmos that fail all the time, I want less electronics.
Look at the bright side, Craig. Your future is full of more Humvees and Audis. Cheers!
So ? Why didn't you just have your brother take over the business back home ? He seems to know what he is doing and all.
he's not the guy. he's more of a fix it sell it i believe
Trust me, he's the guy.
I’m sure they discussed it. Bro is probably bummed he’s moving to Florida, although he can buy Florida rust free cars and ship them to his brother.
He said in another video he’s keeping the business just not running the day to day operations.
Because now they both own dealerships. His brother is still in the beginning stages but he's coming up. I would imagine his brother is too busy running his to take on Craig's operation too.
AstroAI . Glad you got the H1 running. I hope you get what you want for it.
Pay the mechanic for coming out $100
And for changing the battery terminal thats it.
Show him you fixed it for way less and the truck is running good now without a single injector
This is how I personally feel about it. Why pay for diagnosis when it was not accurate. Pay the fee for coming out and the new battery terminals and call it even. The guy won't like it but you will never need him again anyways. 😂😂😂
Also you're not worried about him smearing your name cuz internet trolls handle that for you already.
Come on man, you should know not to buy a hummer for that price in that condition. They don't go for that much. And also paying over $800 for a diagnosis just seems excessive.
don't pay him for his incompetence
You need an old sergeant from the military motor pool that are familiar with those Hummers.
His wife probably stressing him out big time
I noticed that too . I think that he has a sidepiece and going to give her an ass rocket hence the Florida move .
probably going to leave his ass for losing so much money
@@scotthayesproductions5715 Especially when she realises it half her money he is pi**ing away
AstroAI
Thanks & much appreciated
Definitely will put it to good use!
At 1 point I wanted one of these really bad. So I know you can find them for 12K if you look.
Hard enough
I changed my mind when I actually sat in one
Craig, consider approaching the guy who mis-diagnosed it and just explaining what you learned later was the real issue, and that you're frustrated about the misdiagnosis.... without directly asking to not pay him. Ask him what "we" can do to settle the bill for the mis-diag. See what he comes back with. I have a friend who is a kind and soft spoken lawyer. She often finds amazing results for her cases when dealing with aggressive or unreasonable opposing lawyers by simply and kindly posing the question: "How are we going to resolve this?" It seems to make the opposition's demands melt and they generate a first attempt at a solution.
Anyone who’s been in the military and drove one of those knows you gotta ball up your shirt and cram it into the exhaust for some back pressure.
The sad part is that Hummer is probably only worth $12000. Just look on the government auction websites and you can buy them for under $5000 all day.
link?
@@chrismemphis8062 Google Gov Deals or Gov Planet
@@chrismemphis8062 gov planet
There's a big military vehicle seller on I-15 in California before apple valley. He's got a website also but I haven't looked in years.
I think the mechanic saw a sucker who paid 30k for the junk and figured the money is better in his pockets. the diag seems to high and it was wrong. agree to pay something more realistic.
Having worked in the passenger and classic car auction industry for the past 15 years, I dread the days I have to deal with people like this. They know good and well that the vehicle has issues, don't bother to fix them before sale, try to hide the issues to make top dollar, then always complain when things don't go their way.
EXCUSE ME SIR….ARE THOSE FROSTED TIPS…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's auditioning for the backstreet boys
Zesty. He cant burn money fast enough to look like an idiot.
Its common for a diesel mechanic who is not a good diagnosis'rrrr to jump to injectors or pump that the highest reason a diesel runs for sht So he screwed you baby COME ON MAN 7hrs he couldn't find a fuel leak that allowed air to pass into the fuel JEEZ
AstroAI, don’t give up ! Times are stressful but you’ll get through it.
Congrats reach out at www.flying-wheels.com
@@FlyingWheels did I win the jump starter ?
Call the mechanic and offer to pay half. He did come out to he auction. Neither party is going to be happy.
Painful to see you struggle. You are a smart guy that gives good advice. Sometimes you do not follow your own advice. I hope to meet you again now that you are here in FL. Saludos from Viva La Máquina!
I'm not a diesel mechanic, I'm a professional UA-cam viewer. I hope Florida is everything you hope for you and your family. I always enjoy your content.
Florida has more headaches…trust me.
But hey, it doesn't snow once a month 😂
home of the $995 doc fee too
U got this man don’t let anything bring you down it’s life we are all suppost to get dragged down but it’s our duty to push thru it you got this man I love you have a good day
Kevlar coated?!? It's spray on bedliner. I don't think firesale is your best option. I just started watching but if you can't sell it... you decide to go no reserve?? That could be a legendary fail, but I guess we will find out soon enough. Also why are the give aways in the US only? You have a lot of watchers in canada like myself. Make it for north America only. The last thing you want to do is make us feel alienated. 😊
Should have been selling the shit off instead of buying the second he decided he was going to move
Great video. I have a FatMax but it does not have that much cranking power. Having the AstroAI would be a great bonus.
Keep up the great work, hope the move works out great for you.
Glad the stress is leaving. Enjoy the moments with the family. Great series! Blessings.
Complaining while sitting in front of that pool is criminal lmao
AstroAI thank you for this opportunity.
Great video! Would love an AstroAi for the wife.
Love that boxer roaming around in the background, best dogs ever. He looks happy as a clam in the new yard.
I'm sure you would have been upset about the actual miles if the shoe was on the other foot
ASTROAI thanks for the opportunity.
“Crying” Wheels is actually fitting…. :-)
When you only have problems that your made your self, you are good...
Astro AI ….. We enjoy your videos Craig! Thanks!
The AstroAI looks like a good jump pack. Thanks. I am surprised the humvee didn't sell in Florida. That setup is a southern vehicle all day.
You will fit in great down in Florida, Craig, with those frosted tips! Lol
Man I love this guy . I can feel him , I have 12 cars , I am trying to sell them , just too much headache , battery , here in Mexico every 6 months I need to verify in car control department , constantly I pay fine for the delay o I left them there and I can’t drive them .
It would of been great to ask ur subscribers if there was a diesel mechanic from the army or something that would join you there that day.
You could of probably found someone to help you
Loving the recent content Craig!!! It seems much more wholesome and back to grass roots. AstroAI FTW
The AstroAI looks so compact compared to the jump packs when I was in the car biz.
As a former mechanic i would bot expect someone to pay close to $1000 for a diagnosis let alone an improper diagnosis! I love the videos and a huge fan.
AstroAI👏
I agree. Craig probably hired the cheapest diesel mechanic he could find. It's not like the mechanic is going to place an artisans lien.
Thank you for moving your car lot to Florida. We were running out.
(ASTROAI S8 ULTRA) KEEP DOING YOUR THING BRO & HOPE YOU GET THAT HUMMER RUNNING AND SOLD!
Craige, Welcome to the war! I have had a dealership in Florida for 40 years and have done well. I avoid buying toys; they make for entertaining vids, but if you open a toy store in Florida the lack of good help will drive you crazy!
You're moving to Florida, we don't "winterize" anything here...! Heck, here in Sarasota, Florida, our backflow preventers and water meters are outside and above ground...!!! I was born here and never knew about, heard about water pipes freezing until I was in my twenties...!!! We have summer in Florida for 10 months and 'winter' for about two months...!
hang in there and dont stress out too much
Astroai, got to admit that was a lot of money for a hummer, guy in my area was trying to sell his for 15k and didn't, pretty sure he took like 8k for it.
I feel you Craig.
Just keep talking yourself through it, find an avenue that works for ya.
Everything will inevitably day come together at the same time but it’s the journey there.
You are learning even more lessons everyday and teaching people how to control their emotions throughout the process.
God bless brother you are doing things right man.
Take pride in knowing who you are and what you’re doing and how you got here.
You put yourself and family in the position to do stuff they would have never been able to do.
An amazing person you regardless of how this goes.
Thank you, you ground me sometimes when im going through things and I see what you’re going through as well.
It makes you human man, nothing is perfect or works as exactly as described.
Keep going strong, love your family. That’s all that matters brother.
Craig, I feel for your pain and stress. Good luck in Florida, but for God's sake, Stop buying questionable cars 😂
You will be a better man in your next phase for sure.some scars are necessary
Bridge 🔥’d😂. I’m not paying for a misdiagnosis. I’ll show him the receipt for the actual repaired suv. A good shop will eat the $875 knowing they were wrong &😮 would be glad for the customer that it’s fixed…. And learn from it.!
Wish you all the best in Florida... please provide more content..
AstoAI S8. Love the channel. Good luck in Florida and get a little rest. I am not a big fan of burning people who did work for you, but you have to see the guys response after talking to him about the misdiagnosis. If he is not accepting of his wrong doing and tries to play the blame game back on you, maybe offer him half and walk away with a clean conscious?
AstroAI good luck with the H1! Hope you sell it soon.
Welcome to Florida. I've been here for many years now and will never go back up north, unless north Florida counts 😂
This all sounds and looks stressful. Wishing you the best Crying Wheels.
You can win in a fire sale but it depends on the market and what you're trying to unload. That Humvee, though...Not exactly a 'flip' vehicle.
ASTRO AI!!!!!! Hey Craig, many best wishes to you and your family with the move. I wouldn't pay such an stupid fee. Slimy mechanic!!!
I love your videos, my son loves your cyber truck I just had to pay $40.00 for a hot wheels cybertruck. I have other jump starts but they never work that AstroAi loves like a beast. I'll have to save up for the ASTROAI since 8 just got a 2005 HUMMER H2. Best of luck and safe future for you and the family in your new adventure..
Love the honesty. Some days just really suck.
I would definitely sit down with Mechanic and have a conversation and see what you could hammer out as far as a price
Did you call a Mark V a 1976 Continental? The Mark V ran from 1977 - 1979.
You can have fun with the Hummer in Florida.
You need to turn the ignition on let the glow plugs heat up then you try to crank it over
be the master!! You know what the observers viewpoint is! love and light
How can you expect to ever get a bargain at Barret Jacksons??
AstroAI Love car gadgets like this. Also, would live to have a running military, Hummer. ;)
No headaches, and you are moving to Palm Beach County? Go up to St Lucie County.
Astroai S8 looks awesome..had a couple cheaper ones this looks better
Good luck on your move to Florida (astroai).
AstroAI
Good luck with the move!
Best of luck in Florida! I clearly need an AstroAI in my car.
AstroAI. That was an awesome looking hummer with so much potential! Unfortunately the mice killed it. Best of luck, you will make up for the loss with future sales.
AstroAI great video good luck on the move.
That’s great that the auction was able to find the problem. I wonder if all auctions have onsite mechanics. Great video but a car not running right can make anyone mad.
Astro AI Love the channel Craig !!!
