Wizard sees Hoovie drive up in another Mercedes, immediately calls to order more yacht parts.
I can see it now.
Wizard:”I need some more yacht parts. When is Hoovie due to come back into my shop?”
No yacht arts wiz gonna buy some lakefront property.
At this rate Wizard will have a second bigger yacht paid for by Tyler in a couple years
Says to himself: "I'm gonna need a bigger boat."
When wizard sees hoovie, he sees walking ATM machine.
Those are some damn good prices on everything that was done to all those cars if I'm being honest. Especially for the Bentley! And he's offering to take care of the detail bill for collecting so much dust and cob webs in his shop? What a stand-up guy!
I thought the same thing, the Wizard has to be giving Hoovie a discounted rate else those those prices pretty amazing for the work he's had to do.
Seriously. I wish I could find a mechanic like this in the Boston area.
@@99Vood99 They have said in a few videos that Hoovie gets a labor discount.
Yeah most shops would charge him $20 a day storage....and considering the time he spent on that? That $2400 is a steal.
The Car Wizard has mentioned that Hoovie gets fleet pricing and a special rate that no one else gets.
The Scream is by Edvard Munch. The background in that pic was Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”.
While The Wizard is gonna get himself a Van Gogh, Hoovie's got a van though
Its not van Gogh though... ;)
With bills like Wizard is presenting, Hoovie will end up LIVING in that van!
At least Hoovie had enough 'Monet' to make the van Gogh...hehe😁
@@donpardo1 but he'll be poor as a Munch afterwards ; ) ...get it?! : )))
@@OzziePete1 Down by the river?
The wizard can finally fix his ceiling
Cannot un-see!!
The yacht would be my guess
Does he take those down and serve Chinese food on them?
Yeah, that was bad...
You mean buy another boat

That is just how G-Wagen engines sit, they had to do that to clear the steering shaft. Source: I am a 15 year Mercedes Master Tech and shop foreman. Google photos can help you as well.
So ur saying u know what ur saying...ha.
You are correct. I have been working on Mercedes since ‘02.
Yeah, but the Wizard will straighten it up.
Have the same car, same crooked engine
As long as the torque converter bolts torque spec isn't finger tight.
That’s why they call him the wizard he just made your money disappear😂😂
Lol good one.
Well he certainly can't make the problems on that Bentley disappear. 6 months, endless thousands of dollars, and I can absolutely guarantee that it'll still be broken. What a cowboy.
😂😂😂 good one
And UA-cam monthly Ad Revenue makes it reappear easily. Try $5,000-$12,000 a DAY.
Matthew Godwin Think he cares? He literally makes well over $1 Million a year off UA-cam Ad Revenue ALONE. Facts
I remember when Wizard would barely talk in the videos and now he’s teaching us a thing or two like he’s our substitute teacher
most of what we do in life is confidence for some its natural (not always good) some it is learned with the wizard it learned I have watched him go from shrinking violet to blossoming flower god help hoovie in a year or so (❁´◡`❁)
whats the video called when Wizard looks into our souls?
Same with car ninja
The substitute teacher you actually want. Lol
@@keptinkaos6384 Have you seen his channel? It's pretty good!
4 cars repaired for 7k. The wizard is giving you such a huge deal. Good friend
hoovie also made him a celebrity. Wizard is more popular than hoovie
The wizard is a ridiculous rip off. Only idiots think these prices are normal. Oh, it’s a Mercedes, it’s going to cost a ton just because! Leak here, leak there. Open up your check book.
@@Jamesbond-yn3ou bro you want any fries with that salt?
@@Jamesbond-yn3ou He’s a mechanic, why do you except him to leave things broken lol
Wizard owes Hoovie big time. He started his own channel, hoovie has brought a ton of business from his channel. I'm sure he doesn't pay the amount that they say. Great partnership
It’s ok Hoovie you’re living a lot of people’s dreams.
Hoovie: i cant believe how cheap this is at 22 thousand dollars
Me looking at my "cheap" 1000 dollar clunker cause i cant afford shit.
My 2004 Volvo V70 daily driver was $900 in Jan 2020. Best sub-$1K investment I've ever made.
The Wizard saw the G=Wagon and that "AWEE YEAH" was because he's now getting a bonus check lol
its very strange that wizard does not know that all g class from that era had engines mounted at angel from factory
@@BartiFaberi yup to accommodate the power steering pump on the G500’s, assume the same for the G55?
@@Trayder27 yeap same for m113 5.0 version
@@BartiFaberi I think the wiz did say something about the engine is supposed to be at angle.
@@BartiFaberi he literally said it’s mounted at an angle but not the extreme angle that it had
Considering the amount of work done, Tyler is getting a hell of a deal.
He's getting his frequent mechanic miles cashed in, he's collect's alot with each invoice
He is not paying $150+ an hour like the rest of us.
Yeah it is a good deal. I thought it would be closer to double that.
Exactly. 4 cars with more or less serious issues for 7500$ seems like a great deal
The time, the dealer change my oil was more expensive!
I’m always amazed how cheap wizards rates are. Here in NYC these bills would be 2 or 3X the cost
Well, it's a lot more expensive to operate a business in NYC than it is in Kansas. One of the reasons why you pay almost 30 dollars for a Sandwich at Katz Deli. I live in CT and going to go have a lobster roll for lunch and by the time I am done where I am going, I will drop 40 bucks. It cost to much here on pretty much everything.
Especially since his work is being used for content. Seems like someone is getting kind of fucked if he's not getting paid extra off camera.

The Wizard 2020.....
Tyler: **Buys another Hooptie Mercedes**
The Wizard: *"Time to make some more MONEY"* 😈
He’s gotta get those air jordans
Wizard is probably browsing for a private jet right now.
This is why the Wizard has a boat!
Twin 502's for the yacht!
Honestly I think wizard prices are very competitive, for all work and part for 4 cars like theses 7500$ is not that expensive. I paid 2k€ on an old 4x4 just to do the undercarriage.
For everything he did, this is dirt cheap, especially on those cars.
He is actually very fair with his charges, esp. since he does such a great job.
I agree, so why the hell is hoovies so f disappointed at the cost, he should be just as happy as wizard
@@joki6395 It makes for a good youtube video.
But when you think about it, it's ~$2k visits every couple months. At least twice a year visits for old cars. That's weekend cars. It's more visits if it's your daily, but that's why you buy an economy car like Toyota or Honda (daily driving)
$7500 is crazy cheap. Any significant part (transmission, electronics, suspension, engine, etc) new or used requiring replacement on any of those cars would be a bargain at that price.
Your engine isn’t crooked, it just has “swag”.
The smile of money when that G wagon rolled into the garage....
Buys G Wagon for the price of a new Camry. Repairs G Wagon for the price of a used Camry.
@Lassi Kinnunen To a lot of Americans, cars aren't appliances, but rather status symbols or extensions of their personalities. Also, we love our SUVs (relatively cheap gas, great view of the road, large presence, "off road capability")
To be honest, without the dumb lift $4000 on that considering what needs to be done is CHEAP. I've spent more than that on a used F150.
@Lassi Kinnunen They're not. The 4 cylinder SE retailed for about $32k in 2019.

Man, I would've killed for a customer like Hoovie when I was a mechanic.
Seriously! This channel brings in so much reliable work to the shop.
I'd love to have the Wizard as a mechanic
Didja have youtube then??? Nottttt
You can run a shop and make profit with just one customer 😂
I love the dynamic between these guys. A dynamic that goes deep into friendship.
The Scream is by Edvard Munch, cool mashup with "Starry Night" though.
Tyler: buys an old Mercedes
Wizard: puts in CD Dark Side of the Moon, track 5
He plays it on the way home every night 😂
Moneeeee!!!

Ah yes the famous Scream painting by Van Goo
You and the Wizard seem to me ,to be the most sincere guys on UA-cam....love both your shows!!!!
Finally a major success video! Whole bunch of your rides are done and ready to roll baby! Mega bonus: Car Wizard is happy and that's all sorts of special! Way to go!
Tyler looks like he's thinking - "now that all of these cars are done, where the hell am I going to put them"
And also a bit of "how the hell am I going to get them all home"
Are you kidding??? He knows where to put them....on "Cars & Bids"! LOL
@@moneygeewtee That´s where the shrewd negotiators hang out.
haha I said "he buys broken vehicles so he can store them free at the wizard's" lol
Tyler! I have a W463, the tank sender has a little door accessible in the trunk under the carpet. I also have a set of Bilstein reservoir shocks for sale!
Love the video someone changed the converter and did not use lock tight. Love your show
Elite Hoovie & Wizard here.. Best of the year!
The most I’ve ever believed in trickle-down economics is watching Wizards shop flourish and hire and get new equipment because of Hoovies stupid cars 😂
@chris younts That would probably be Mississippi.
"...the prices to repair have not depreciated." Well said.
I tell customers that all the time when they come in with older euro vehicles.
No but they’re tax deductible and paid for with UA-cam Ad revenue which is literally $5,000-$12,000 a DAY
Repair prices have done better than the markets for sure.
@@j_freed used car prices are so high dealers cant buy auction cars right now. MMR is through the roof on everything.
@@sukmidri I lost my job of 15 years at a dealership due to Covid. Feb-Apr has always been our boom season due to taxes. Used car prices have been going up at auction since 2008, but, for some reason, near the end of 2019, it went crazy on our top cash cows.
Chargers, Crown Vics, Chrysler 300s, Navigators, work trucks (running, manual, little to no rust, dents don't matter), Caprices of all years, amd even 90's Roadmasters.
Coronavirus was supposed to bottom out the used market. It didn't. It bloody made dealerships/private sellers increase car costs and ANYTHING near fair market value got snapped up instantly, or bid out of price range on no reserve.
I dig car sales, but working at a small lot sucked when vehicles increase 1.5x in the span of a week.

A wise man once said, "There is nothing as expensive as a Cheap Mercedes"....

There's a vintage Mercedes lot and service garage I have to walk by near my work, I always love the fanatical dedication to keeping old ones going as these are beautiful cars.

I love the end of these videos when it all gets added up. Makes me not feel so bad about my own car addiction problem!
It's been a while since I laughed this much at one of your videos. Well done sir.
Those axle joints at the wheels aren’t “leaking” because they are empty/dry...
Most likely. Needs a big shot of grease.
I have a 2000 one and had a 1985 before that. Your fill them as a service item and they ‘weep’ slightly to self clean when your off road - grease out Vs dirt in..
I agree!

@@stuartgreenshields5591 Thank you! I didn't catch that one as I usually do. Corrected!
The wizard's prices are a fraction of my local mechanics.
That is what I was thinking. I always took my cars to his garage. :D
Welcome to Kansas
Probably lower overhead like rent etc
Hoovie probably gets a bulk discount
Only because they are friends. ;)
The wizard has come so far from his humble beginnings! Love it!!!
The wizards favorite song.... hoovies garage intro... guaranteed cash flow.
$2k to sort out your Bentley is reasonable, from all the video's it looks like the Wizard spend ages on it and had that whole unit rebuild
Wizard is losing on that one, you are right. So much diagnosis time involved
@Von_Satan Redshield I mean, yeah, it’s been explained in a few other videos. Tyler gets a good discount because he has a fleet of cars, so he still spends more in the long run. Also him and the wizard have been friends for years
Hoovie should be awarded some sort of eco prize for keeping these bangers running
wizard gonna be in a purple and gold pinstripe suite sittin behind a cocobolo desk writing w/ his teak fountain pen next time hoovie show up.
I appreciate the transparency of your Chanel.
Open up the “Busted Benzes R Us” shop already.
it's a 'slant 8'
OK, the ending is pretty funny. I've never seen The Wizard so happy before, he was really smiling. The Turbo R was not bad at all. As long as it's been there and with everything you already showed us, I really was thinking it would be at least $6,000. You got back 4 really amazing vehicles for less than half the price of what my 2015 Mustang is worth. You did very well I think. That G Wagon though, again not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Sure, some of those parts are pricey but still you're not even close to $50,000 all in. You did great, I think, and you made The Wizard really happy. Win Win!
Time for hoovie to start an onlyfans
2 Mercedes, including a v12 one, a Bentley and a conversion van ALL brought up to speed for under 8K, Wizard is a good deal. The CL65 @ the MB dealership alone would have been 8k.
Yeah I was surprised with those prices. I mean changing a single front brake caliper and rotor on my 07 mazda 6 cost me 900 Euro work included (only dealer had the parts and I needed it ASAP) in central europe. I can easily see CL65 invoice being aroung 8-10k here.
$750 for a driveshaft change incl. labour on a 22k luxury SUV? That's next to free. I can easily see an MB dealer asking 10x the price. Same with the motor mounts... like just the labour to have them removed would be 2000 EUR at least here. Having the G wagen with everything fixed by a guy who knows what he is doing for less than $30k (excluding headliner)? That's a bargain.
@@VanBourner yikes, that seems like highway robbery. In the US that caliper is an $80 part pads are about $40 and a new set of rotors are 65 and that’s for premium stuff. Maybe a $200 job with shipping. Changing calipers is a pretty easy DIY job sucks though if you dont have a garage you get ripped.
I wish I had a Wizard like this in my town!
@@David.. Mazada's can get real funky to work on sometimes
The Wizard offers Hoovie a substantial discount on his work because, A) Hoovie has a never ending supply of work for him to do, and B) if you pay attention, Hoovies stuff sometimes takes a while to get fixed. Hoovie's hoopties are worked on when his full margin paying customers are taken care of first.
"Its the Scottsdale Camry".
Truer words have never been spoken.
Except the 280k mile 305 is still ticking in the Chevy..zoom😎
The single reason I love both Hoovie and the Wizard : both laughing away at the end of the video.
Tyler and the wisard have such good banter... They are the funnies in the office...
"There's a story to be told here that we are not being told." What happened the day I walked into the Marine recruitment office....

Love the theme music Hoovie! Find myself humming it all the time! 🤗
Me too :O)
The engine is supposed to lean like that... it leaves clearance for the steering shaft. Your motor mounts are fine.
Yes, exactly. It looks odd, but that is normal.
Was looking for this comment! It’s normal for ALL these G wagons(2002-2018) for the motor to sit a little sideways. I was honestly expecting Hoovie or the Wizard to know this as they both have stated to be Mercedes guys!
I was wondering if maybe that was the case from the 1st time Hoovie pointed it out in the previous video...it'll be interesting to see if they mention that in the next video. I almost recall Doug Demuro pointing out that interesting quirk back when he reviewed his own G wagon.
@@caseyhubbard4350 Well, they actually say it's supposed to sit a bit tilted, but they think this one is sitting tilted too much.
I think its a bit more tilted than normal.
THE BENTLEY IS FINISHED??? I thought I would be finished first!!!
Its only finished for now...give it time !
I bet he sells the Bentley before it gives him another issue lol.
Not for long, i asure you!
Give it a week...
@@Blasterxp I can Azure you something else will break first.
This is great! Many thanks, you are both brilliant!
Greatest episode ever. Fabulous soundtrack.
The wizard's face in the thumbnail is priceless
those engines are put in like that from the factory
yep, supposed to be tilted , needs space for the steering system
Old one's...
Yep.. I have a 2000 G 500 and the engine is exactly the same. Serviced by a Mercedes specialist who work on a number of them. That’s the way they are.. at an angle
You just saved this guy a lot of money😂😂
Needs some loctite or some washers to cinch up the bolts
Oh that blue XJS in the background! Fantastic!
I love Hoovies Garage 💕💕💕💕
t's so nice that Tyler is paying for Wizard's Boat repairs with that G Wagon!
The wizards a genius, the cost for all those expensive and tricky cars to repair was more than generous 👍
Nice W463!!!
Instead of lifting the car 3" with an expensive lift kit, and resulting that the car will ride very bad, because there are a lot of changes on the suspension geometry, I would recomend to use a 1" budget lift kit, swaping the used shocks for a new ones with stock lenght, I would use the stock 17" wheels with some 1,25" spacers and AT tyres 265/70R17. It will ride like stock, and it will have an appearance of bigger vehicle, like an offroad special edition made by MB factory.
All the saved money can be spent on doing an automatic transmission flush, for example.
Best regards.
Very honest shop and good quality work
Lol at “repair price hasn’t depreciated!” Hahahha
Hahaha I was saying to myself like why why it should depreciate as well
That one was good but "the shifting isn't finished yet" was my favorite.
That's the most important point, that repair price has not depreciated. Same with parts.
Wizards needs to use the 7k to fix his office ceiling 😂
So many people would love to have a mechanic pal like the Wizard. I'm jealous of you two guys!
7K is damn cheap for all the work he's done on those cars (not referring to the G-Wagon)
“I got the cheapest Mercedes in the US”
Facebook market place: “Am I a joke to u?”

I gotta say, I so wish I had a mechanic like the wizard near me. He’s one of a kind and just incredible at his job. So knowledgeable and honest and best of all has a great personality.
I love seeing the Wizard in such a good mood!
Why is it so satisfying to watch him squirm at the repair bill? Lol gotta love hoovies
The Scream isn't by van Gogh, it's by Edvard Munch. It did however have Gogh's Starry Night in place of the original sky.
I saw that too. Must be twice as expensive then, huh? ;)
Maybe wizard stick to fixing cars....
They collaborated like snoop and dre
Are you saying it's a fake?! OMG, warn the Wizard before he buys it!!
It pretty much is a "Van Goo" painting...the Wizard had that exactly right.
the reason hoovie gets such good prices is cause he spends them most and helped wizard get to where he is name and ad wise. those prices area really good . a regular shop would not keep your broken car for 6 months . good job hoovie on supporting local economy with your bad habits!
I love this episode, why? Because this routine never gets old.
Wizard was genuinely tickled over dropping the bill! So great hahaha
Tyler be like “oh no“
Wizard be like “oh yes“
Junior mint be like “I’m going to college!!”
The engine had to be mounted on a slant due to the placement of the AC compressor on the 113 motors. It’s referenced in the intro to service manual and was addressed in both service and sales training.
Gotta Love how Tyler looks like a lil kid; so excited while the Wizard is lifting up the G
this is gold thanks for this cheered me up great video 👌👍
I love the Wizard: that's not Scottsdale certified!! 😆😂🤙
And let’s not forget, Hoovie keeps the Ninja busy also, in addition to the Wizard. I know he does well enough from this channel to afford it, but it sure is fun listening to him whimper like us regular guys do when hit with the bill. That part made me laugh. I tell you which one I would take out of all those, I’d take that conversion van. Flashbacks to childhood, there.
Ya I love how Tyler acts like he's devastated at the bills but he loves buying junk cars and spending thousands to fix them up even though he can afford brand new supercars.
I have to agree. That van is beautiful. I'd so want to do a cross-country road trip in that, just to say it did it, and in style.
Awesome to see the prices included with the projects
Seeing the wizard do a lil jig while the hoovie theme song playing made my day
