    that smile is priceless. yeah, brake replacement is a relatively easy/mundane maintenance item, but there are people that have no idea how to maintain the brakes on their cars. the fact that this young lady now knows this procedure may save her in the future. I'm enjoying this channel more and more with every video. thank you Eric for being who you are

    Having just watched Mrs. O take matters into her own hands and change her oil, swap winter tires for summer and change out the cabin air filter, I'm not at all shocked to see Ms. Marie doing her brakes. I loved that she turned down gloves and wasn't embarrassed to have grease on her face. You're obviously a hero in her life and that's just awesome.
    Dude, you've got a fantastic family. You and the Mrs. are very definitely doing it right.
    Can't wait to see Trinity swapping the steering rack on her cozy coupe. (OK, she was driving that around the shop 7 years ago, but you get my drift...)
    I'm proud to say that all 3 of my kids (including my daughter) can drive a manual, change tires and brakes. My daughter is the first one to get a call from any of her friends when they have car problems. She may call me for advice, but her friends (in high school and college) knew she was a the first one to ask.

      @@staceyfisher1479 I think it's common among young people these days to not do the basics for themselves. I work with a lot of twenty-something men and women who barely cook for themselves at all and when they do, it's food that is mostly prepared already in part or in full. Mostly, they just eat out and it is often food not good for them. As you said, the same goes for building or repairing stuff they use and need. I don't doubt that government schools are partly to blame, but I also blame parents who didn't take the time to teach their children the skills they need to be self-sufficient. However, everything a person needs to know is available on the internet so ultimately, it is up to the individual to learn; just have to want to do it.

      My 20yo daughter needed brakes on her 10yo High-YOON-Day. We got out doubles of all the tools and did both sides at once. Done in record time, and she's ready to do it on her own.

      That's great to hear..there's a great feeling of empowerment working on your own car instead of having someone else do it. I'd let her know that no one else will quite put the care into her car as she will (other than you of course), because it isn't their car. And plus when you do the work yourself, you know the work was done CORRECTLY!

    @talldude1701 5 років тому

    Eric.. Been watching your vids for many a year now... If Avoca wasn't over 8 hours away, and across the border from where I hail from - you'd definitely be my go-to guy for all things mechanical... This video only reinforces that - not only are you a treasure trove of knowledge and more importantly - experience - but your willingness to share it in such an easy to understand and patient manner is simply unparalleled in all the other mechanic's videos I try to learn from. Seeing this video tonight - not only were you a teacher, but you were a mentor and a friend.. Willing to let Marie learn at her own pace, let her make her own mistakes but always there to catch them so that she ultimately never had to worry about paying for those mistakes but rather learn from them instead.
    As has be already said here before, seeing Marie's confidence level grow by the minute for every successful step she accomplished was truly a joy to watch. I have no doubt that her confidence and ability to learn more as time goes on will only grow faster and faster under your tutelage sir...
    Marie - keep up the great work... I have no doubt you will be the inspiration for so many others to follow in the future. Your confidence, your willingness to learn, even your willingness to get a little dirty - is and will be truly inspirational... But the awe, the look in your eyes when you did something new, or learned something new - coupled with the laughter all the way through - just shows that with a little patience and willingness to TRY - it only reinforces that cars aren't really the big scary mystery machines so many believe. So as Eric always says (with a little editorial license for this edition): "Remember folks... if *we* can do it, so can you..." and you've proven that in spades... Now, all you need to do is get Mrs. O to help you get the camera away from the old guy a little more often! LoL...
