I’ve been following Johnathan for about 4 - 6 years now. The thing I admire about this man is, whenever he goes on a accident call he ALWAYS, ALWAYS cleans up the accident site. Not like a lot of the wrecker services here in Maryland where they leave the pieces laying at the accident site.
You don't sit in front of a camera talking waiting for people to give you money. You earn your money by hard work. I admire you All the best from Nick Jervis UK 🇬🇧 Ask the man who owns one
Thanks for showing us what happens when you get in an accident. She is lucky to be alive. A couple of minutes added to your drive on a rainy day is nothing compared to a wrecked car and body. Take care of yourself and catch you on the next one.
Good morning Jonathan! Thank you for another enjoyable video. You are truly a wonderful guy for being so helpful and making them know they’re in good hands .
Jonathan, they sure do keep you hopping! You make all of these calls look so routine when we know they aren't. And as many have said already,. it's nice that you take the time to clean up the wreck site, something that so many don't do. That just goes to show level of care you have for people.
Back when I was a volunteer firefighter in Illinois a lot of the wrecker services wouldn't cleanup more then the big pieces and just sweep the broken glass to the side of the road. A lot of the time we were tasked with the cleanup and we would then back bill the insurance company for it based on time and equipment. Semi trailers ripped open were usually a big cleanup.
Jonathan W no matter on which job I watch you do you make very hard work look easy. Apricate your efforts to make that girls family feel like not to worry you will take care of this wreck and 24/7 you are at their service.
Hey Jon, at least it wasn't the middle of the night! Good work, mate, you are a very conscientious service provider. Good to see your name pop up on Scott's live vid the other day. All the best, Mart in England.
I actually like the recovery videos as is anything Jonathan does my favorite thing he does is you know building things from scratch like motorcycles and people's yard art overall it's Jonathan's genuine wholesomeness that I tune in for
Wow, these new cars sure do disintegrate! Christ, it takes longer to find and pick up all the pieces than to load the vehicle. God love you Jonathan, for doing what you do.
Jonathan, I said there was nothing fake about you many years ago and I continue to believe just that. I really love the steam videos you have gave to us. Someday it may become a stream park for visitors. Best wishes and best of health.
Glad to see you can get a chuckle out of someone while they are having a bad day. It shows that you care. Thanks for posting on my Birthday. Best present I can enjoy. Back to my Pizza with candles
Thank you Johnathon for this great vidio. Thank you for allowing us to see what you do and go through in your business I do wish you would ware gloves so you don't get a bad cut 😢
Just a suggestion, if you come across that tire issue again. Tilt the bed and roll it on ..might have to chain it but sure is easier on the back. 👍 Nothing a little bubble gum, baling wire and crayons can't fix 🤷♂️😳🤦♂️🤣 Kidding aside, glad nobody in the suv wasn't hurt. Those air bags hurt when they go off.
Jonathan, you got me when you apologized to your back before hay bailing 200 lbs of wheel. Made my back hurt just watching you. It least it wasn’t 3:00 am in the rain.
Well I would have to say, the tree definitely won that battle. Looked like she hit the whole darn forest. It's amazing she wasn't hurt. And I bet that wheel was heavy as heck, given all of the parts that were stuck to it. And never mind your back, I'm more concerned about your emphysema. I wish the doctor's could do more to help you with your breathing. Thanks for the video
Man I can alway watch a good recovery!! Keep on keeping on!! Glad to have these car videos while I’m in Italy not able to work on my cars ect! Thanks Johnathan
Drive like hell you gonna get there . Thanks for sharing the content ) Happy holidays to you and yours . Looking forward to more steam engine content. If ya get a chance.
I’m an old guy so if I had to pickup the tire with the rotor and caliper attached I would have unscrewed the lug nuts and made it a lot lighter to save my old back.
It's good when everybody walks away but you took it to the next level & had them smiling about their 'parking choice' - l like that...the way these new rims want to break half in two - I'd be afraid to put em' on a tire machine
I like the trucks the most. All the cars kinda look the same.....well at least they end up about the same size be it a car or truck they can fit the same size dumpster. The trucks are cool because you put in the engines and picked your favorite beds. Must be a great feeling driving things you customized.
If you had a impact, should have separated the wheel from the knuckle so that you could pick them up separately and likely only about half the weight of the whole assembly. I'm guessing maybe you thought of that on the ride home every time your back twinged.
We used to throw all the pieces and shovel the road sweep into the trunk or the back seat before we pulled it up when it was a totaled car - saved the back muscles.
How far are you from a major interstate and do you get to go out on one for any calls? Course roads like that one there is almost as dangerous too, being a busy road. But my opinion the interstates holds the major award for being most dangerous, especially for any and all emergency services people.
You need to add a light lifting crane next to the headache rack to lift that stuff up. A book and cheap winch just for the junk you shouldn't lift by yourself.
And did you notice the care and concern that Jonathan showed about the people in the wreck? You hardly see any of that anymore. It's all about the money, grab and go. It's just a testimony to the character of the man.
I wonder if you couldn't build some side racks that would mount flat to the headache rack. That could be mounted in square tubing and turned 90° to contain all the debris, you could even remove them throw all the pieces on and then put it back in place.
Man, there was hardly anything left to chain on to. Save your back, add a small swing out crane on your headache bar for lifting that stuff. Ya only get one back and mine has bolts and rods in it.
Bro I know you love steam engines but can you please hire someone to record doing other things that you ❤ love like this video and working old jelopies. Know I'm asking to much bit to much but throw in a video of working on those old cars

.......Yeah, Maryland must have a system . People smash up every few hours so maybe they think they'll get it next time (next time as in tomorrow)
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals the problem is, tomorrow never gets here.
@@davidjenkins1958Oh yes it does, Today is yesterdays tomorrow.
Hang on, let me think about that.
Hmm, say no more I will leave by the back door.
Dear davidjenkins.
👍👌👏 Same here too, definitely. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 thank you, same to you.

That's the fastest way to remove a strut and wheel! You're the best road janitor I know! Thanks Jonathan!!!
Thanks for the ride along. Shows how some forget how to drive after it rains on the roadway.

Interesting to see the business that fuels the steam engine restoration.
Hey there Jonathan I'm glad to see that you're keeping America clean you have a good day my friend be safe out there
Are you whistling while you work ?
You got to appreciate a man who enjoys his work !!
Wow, these new cars sure do disintegrate! Christ, it takes longer to find and pick up all the pieces than to load the vehicle. God love you Jonathan, for doing what you do.
Very true.

I like theses video, good variety
"Sorry back" as he lifts the 150 pound wheel assembly....hilarious as always.
Good to see some of the ‘day job’ 😊👍👍🇬🇧
Dang rims are heavy when the spindle and rotor is still attached! I felt that too, rest well. :D
👍to the Best Road Janitor I know!!!

I was thinking about you pulling that far off the road that you could get stuck, and you might have to call a tow truck 😂😂😂❤FINS UP ❤stay safe 😊
Man I can alway watch a good recovery!! Keep on keeping on!! Glad to have these car videos while I’m in Italy not able to work on my cars ect! Thanks Johnathan
Careful where you connect that chain, ya dont wanna scratch the paintwork
🤣🤦♂️
Drive like hell you gonna get there . Thanks for sharing the content ) Happy holidays to you and yours . Looking forward to more steam engine content. If ya get a chance.
I don't know how you do it! I cuss and swear every minute on the job. Thanks for teaching me a better way! Watching you for 6+ years.
Be safe out there JW , too many people in a hurry and usually distracted .
God Bless you brother !
Thanks for another great video.

You work fast for an old man . Your beath has the rithum of a steem engine. Love your show . Ceep saveing thouse old engines.
Good Public Service Statement for The Holidays - Be Alert - Drive Safely - Thanks Jonathan
Sir, thank you for bringing us along!! the "lidCam+" is great.. wish it had better audio, but hell, at least we get to come with!!
Your the finest of men Jonathan..thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Appreciate your content very much! Like vintage rescues better. Hope they're ok.
It's good when everybody walks away but you took it to the next level & had them smiling about their 'parking choice' - l like that...the way these new rims want to break half in two - I'd be afraid to put em' on a tire machine
Something needs to be done to prevent trees from jumping in front of vehicles. 😉
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎
Thanks for sharing. Looks like it will be totaled. . Main thing is everyone was okay. 👍 🇺🇸
Tree definitely won that one, The airbags did their job.
Thanks for the ride along
I like the trucks the most. All the cars kinda look the same.....well at least they end up about the same size be it a car or truck they can fit the same size dumpster.
The trucks are cool because you put in the engines and picked your favorite beds. Must be a great feeling driving things you customized.
They need to put a three day cooling off period, on any new tree sales in your area.
Zero chances of that trooper getting out and helping you lift that wheel hurt my back just watching
If you had a impact, should have separated the wheel from the knuckle so that you could pick them up separately and likely only about half the weight of the whole assembly. I'm guessing maybe you thought of that on the ride home every time your back twinged.
Another fine job!!!
Thank you for sharing the towing an recovery content
not to many clean up like you JONATHAN especially here in L.A
You would think that the officer might have offered to help get the tire and rim onto the rollback. Maybe a liability issue.
Thanks for the video Jonathan.
👍🏻🍻
Very nice work Jonathan
We used to throw all the pieces and shovel the road sweep into the trunk or the back seat before we pulled it up when it was a totaled car - saved the back muscles.
Great work ethic, sets a good example of how to do a job properly.
I love your show. Thank you for being of service. Great job
You're the man!
How far are you from a major interstate and do you get to go out on one for any calls? Course roads like that one there is almost as dangerous too, being a busy road. But my opinion the interstates holds the major award for being most dangerous, especially for any and all emergency services people.
Wow ... the plastic vehicles really fall apart!
Nice job getting this one out and the site cleaned up.
👍👌👏
That’s one strong winch you have Johnathan ! Do the Troopers ever give you a hand ?
Stay safe out there …
Thanks fer postin lad !!
WAVIN a hand EH !!
Lost it when ya said not a good place to park ))
👍
And the winner for the most totalled cars is...
THE TREE!
*applause*
A small boom with a hoist could help you with the heavy stuff.
Just imagine how heavy that tire and wheel would have been if it had 30 lb of air in it! Lol
You need to add a light lifting crane next to the headache rack to lift that stuff up. A book and cheap winch just for the junk you shouldn't lift by yourself.
And the trees win.....almost everytime.
I agree, with that hard of a hit, they need checked out.
And did you notice the care and concern that Jonathan showed about the people in the wreck? You hardly see any of that anymore. It's all about the money, grab and go. It's just a testimony to the character of the man.
JW is definitely A1!!!!👍👍👍👍

Man, there was hardly anything left to chain on to. Save your back, add a small swing out crane on your headache bar for lifting that stuff. Ya only get one back and mine has bolts and rods in it.
that's one hell of a way to change a tire
Another fine job
Please wear gloves when picking up auto parts from wrecks, to protect your hands, Jonathan!
Hope no one was hurt. You MIGHT want to get a back support belt to wear.
Took a big hit... them trees always win.
Hopefully no one. Was. Hurt. They. Had. To be. Movin. Wow. A mess. Thanks
Thank you, Sir.
The trees will always win no matter what
There's a huge tree down here that is almost in the road the powers that be are wanting to cut it down to save on wrecks.
Were those two people in the wreck?
I hope they are ok
I think I would keep a pulley and rope for something that heavy
Well, that one is toast..
Is that the same road as last week?
Not all tow truck drivers do the clean up they just grab the vehicle off the road and leave all the pieces behind
That was a bad wreck. Hope everyone is okay
At first I didn’t see all in beyond the trees
Thank you.
we have nissan Xtrails in UK, but that looked a bigger model, was it 2 or 4wd
keep up the good work

The trees always win 😏

There's bound to be another, don't forget to make time for pie and icecream sometime.
