Ok guys, we've found the winning formula for this channel. This is unofficially the Sandro and Angelina show and everyone else is a guest.
THIS!
💯
Totally agree
Legit
Yep, if these two probably weren’t under contract they could make a killing as an independent operation.
Petition for Angelina and Sandro auto repair vids and basic maintenance!
Lol you tryna get them to quit being actual mechanics and do YT fulltime?
@@dancoroian1it would pay better
Everybody like this comment
Isn't she an instructor at a tech school?
Nah she's annoying af. You know they make her explain stuff for credibility cause she's not even a mechanic
I really need a another series with Angelina and Sandro about car modification where Angelina teaches us the proper way and Sandro shows us the best way to impress the homies.
I second this shit
"Do it for the boys."
- Saint Sandros of Los Angeles
Top Gear style. One of them does it the proper way, the other does it the ghetto way... and see who wins...
This right here. Angelina does her homework. Sandro just full send
All about the boys man!
It is so clear Angelina is an educator. She does a wonderful job explaining things.
JFC kiss it long & hard.
I see Angelina or Sandro - I click
Sandro is the goat fr
@@austintate7142 based

He does it for the boys
Frfr
We need to say thank you to Sandro and Angelina for taking their time to be on this channel.
No joke
I think they're compensated
Given the views, prolly doubles their income
Especially just to watch vids, and I figure maybe Sandro toned down his cussing just a very tiny bit, but I love it still. Makes the show feel real lol@@peepthezoobazz
I think Angelina is officially part of this channel now
Somebody please give Sandro a pair of Sandals man! 😂😂 He set his heart since the first clip.
When I was living in Egypt, my favorite place to go was deep in the old town. There was a "shop" that had an old school coal fired smelter, with the giant leather bellows. In that shop they cast all kinds of cast iron parts. One day it would be brake rotors for the Peugeot taxis you found everywhere. The next day it might be heads for drill presses. It inspired me to put together my own machine shop, and to this day I do as much as I can in house and build anything I can.
Metal 🤘
Where are u living now !
HELL yeah.
I couldn't tell you what it is about fixing broken things rather than tossing them out that I love so much. I didn't have the same kind of experience that you did with a local place doing that kind of work. But like you, I got an old Bridgeport and a decent lathe, and try to fix anything I possibly can.
That earthquake was a "tell us you're from the West Coast without telling us you're from the West Coast" moment 😂
I've been in an earthquake before. I was living in Banff, AB in 2021 when the Rocky Mountains got restless.
I've been through several in California, including the Northridge. We had one not long after we moved to Maryland, so around 2005, 2006. It was a pretty good one. It damaged stuff that even today isn't right.
@@tetedur377there was one in Maryland in 2005ish?
I thought the only notable one in recent history on the east coast was in 2010/2011? The ones that damaged the Washington monument…
And Angelina didn't flinch. That's an LA Girl. If it ain't 6 or over, it's just a rumble.
@@williampotter2098 I love she said "rude!" 😂
First: you have the ULTIMATE duo for this channel. I love Angelina and Sandro together. Two: leaving the earthquake in was gold!!
Yeah Sandro reminds me of a muppet ( in a good funny way , the way he bobbed and smiled ).
@@FunkyBuddha81 like Kermit The Frog? Would that make Angelina Ms. Piggy?🤪
@@DucatiPaso750 Easy bro. Sandro got a wife too y'know XD
It was her earthquake dance that made me laugh
14:27 😂😂 "She's looking at it from corporate" I died with that comment
I love these two. Sandro is awesome and Angelina is THE BEST!
I liked that they really acknowledged that the people in the videos don’t have access to just buying new parts. That set the tone well.
Absolutely. l liked that too. I used to live in West Africa and it was amazing how long local mechanics would make things run. Locals used to say that cars died three times. First they died in Europe and then they were sent to Africa for a second life. They worked in the capital city and national highway until they died a second time, and were sent off to the rural areas. There they were revived for a third life - and by then you were riding in a bare metal shell with no interior, wooden benches, and hot wired ignition. And drivers drove those vans and cars on roads Americans wouldn't take without a lifted 4x4. When they finally died in the country, anything left that was usable was parted out to keep other rigs running.
Dude is from Salvador, i think he understands and has seen some of this stuff
As a privileged inner city iphone bozo, I'm glad they explained this to me. I would never have known otherwise.
Yes sir same thing with electronics and clothes from western countries they get sent to second and third world countries to be brought back to life.
Us Americans live in a throw away society, and it's actually quite sad.
It is indeed a privilege to just throw away your problems and let another poor country deal with it while you buy a new one 😔
Props for listening to the audience and continuing to bring these two back
Angelina and Sandro are literally the dynamic duo
My Dad was a radiator man for decades! He could braise and solder anything to anything. Everything from heater cores to OTR truck radiators. He'd build custom radiators from bulk core materials and cut custom tanks for them. I'll always remember when plastic radiators started showing up, he hated that you really couldn't fix them very often, usually had to replace them.
The plastic parts of modern radiators are actually a huge improvement. Previously you'd have to have a mechanic who could braise and solder. Now pretty much any mechanic can fix these problems, and the parts are much cheaper.
that bugatti clip at the end was genuinely impressive AF. dude was prolly the only car in the whole town and its a "bugatti". you gotta love it
Such a great mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. Angelina knows everything and Sandro has done everything. A great team.
You mean you can do everything, but not know everything you've done? hm...
Both are ignorant fools who only have a channel because of rich clowns . Anyone who has any real experience working on things knows the difference between a "shock" and a hydraulic ram. They are jokes.
@@johnnyblue4799 I was highlighting where they seem to excel. Obviously they are both extremely knowledgeable. I wasn't implying anything negative between the lines.
That’s not true. Just because it sounds right it doesn’t mean that it is right! Those „repairs“ are fun to watch but I wouldn’t want that in my car. Also that woman has no idea how a battery really works
@@alelitre I was just having fun with your sentence... that's all! :)
That battery rebuild is way cool, but I'd definitely be wearing a respirator, goggles, and gloves when handling all that lead, acid, and molten plastic.
thats what i was thinking. i was like "lots of batteries are rebuilt and thats legit but man no PPE is crazy"
If you are doing just one battery, that acid is not gonna be any problem.
There's thousands of those dirty people around to replace the one in the video.
Safety third......it'll be finnnnnnne 😂
which is why they don't do it in the West like that any more, not osha - approved
I loved how you didn't make fun of the jobs and recognized how necessary this kind of work is in places with hard access to parts
I got mad respect for these highly skilled self made mechanics that can craft things by their own hands & actually repair stuff that is broken instead of just bolting on new parts.
15:49 "Little Nikes on and everything, Are those made out of clay?" 😂 Bruh Sandro be killin me
"I Need Sandals" :D
Lmao fam I died 🤣
@@1kingcharm ong bro it's just the way he looked at the camera and slid it in real fast that fucked me up, he made to be on the camera fr he funny af
I appreciate that nobody was shitting on these folks from other less industrially developed places, it's a refreshing change from what most car folks act like ❤
Amen. Nice to see the respect
Less industrial? Bro, these people are the epitome of industrial, we are an import, throwaway, automated society. We lost the art skill that underdeveloped nations have.
@@TheRoadhammer379 didnt say less industrial, less industrially developed. they dont have access to any of the new machines or tool, or even steady supplies of materials. the industrial infastracture ismt there, but thats why theyre so good. theyve learned to adapt and think laterally, where as developed areas only know how to do it with the right part and right tool.
@@michag4337 creative spirit at it's liveliest
you guys hit the jackpot finding these two and thank you for letting them actually fully host
It’s funny right? I watch for them and find the originals distracting.
Absolutely adore these two as hosts, they both have lived such interesting lives and share their wisdom developed from such different experiences. Love it!
Sandro is so humble that it’s heartwarming. Dude lived a life. Thanks for keepin it real bro!
Sandro: warming hearts. Yeah I used to that. They come in and they can't make it to the doctor so yeah we give them a jump start. Warm their heart right up.
Mad respect to anyone who puts in the time and effort and brain power to actually repair something so it can still be used rather than trashing it and getting it replaced.
And puts sandal while doing mechanic
Opposite of ev's.😮
It all comes down do cost/benefit.
Avg western man hour is too expensive to make it worth repairing things like batteries.
Unfortunately this is just a reflex of how poor people still are in certain parts of the world
There's alot of shitboxes out there also because of "repairs" like this too, let's not get it twisted.
The combo of the homie doing this for life and then the a bit younger teacher is a great combo. Not only does each video with Angelina and Sandro feel good but they are informative. If feels like 2 friends shooting the shit about cars and then Angelina teaching us something.
I've been a tire guy for over 20 years and I had a customer come back from a trip to Mexico with a sidewall of his tire 'rebuilt' like this. I give the tech who did this props, they stayed another 2 weeks in Mexico and drove around for a week back in the states and the repair held up. I replaced the tire but not because it failed, they just didn't want to chance it.
Seeing Sandro and Angelina appreciating the work of a craftsman is top tier wholesome content.
A: I'm impressed
S: I need sandals
15:51 this is the facial expression of Bugatti's engineers when they see that copy.
Angelina and Sandro should become permanent cast members
Let’s keep this channel and hosts for long as possible!! Love this series and hosts!
They are the best
The 1st minute of this had me smiling like a fool, love to see the passion in these two when they see something cool.
Same with me. Although I'm deeply in love with Angelina . 🤣. Don't worry Angelina, you are much too young and much too smart for me.
Angie just said it doe...
" Save some for the rest of us " when talking about pulling tHOse
*Sandro is our dad and Angelina is our mom in this channel*
Angelo is just buff skrillex lmao
I live 10 miles away from the only place where someone will rebuild your radiator. I'm there every year with some equipment radiator. He is a saint and expert!
There are a lot of supposed radiator repair places around me, but none will replace the fins apparently.
What sort of equipment radiator is worth repairing rather than replacing?
I used to work 5 minutes from an awesome radiator shop. Wirtgen road mill radiators can be $1200-$3000. Repairing was less than $500
@@ChristianStout A metal one when all other options are plastic ones. Plus some radiators can't be found. Took me four years to find a radiator for my truck.
@@ChristianStout That's just whole ass ignorant kind of question. Repair price vs replacement price/availability. There are a shit ton of people who live in places where parts aren't easy to get and/or are using equipment that's old and either replacements parts are stupid expensive or just plain impossible to get, at which point what, you buy a whole new piece of equipment just cause of a fu@$ed radiator? FML.
Yeah, being from Canada, I get how priveledged we are with the spending power of out money, and the easy access to parts.
Knowing people from Benin, or Vietnam? They will find a way to make shit keep working. Even shit that is "factory sealed, 1 use only," they can find a way to take shit apart without causing catastrophic damage, and then just put it back together. I have nothing but respect for them, fucking smarter than I am.
As a society we've lost a lot of skills on the whole.
Yup! Also Canadian, but my parents are from Poland. I've seen some people do stuff in barns in small villages there. Incredible work that you'd never get here.
Agree with all that you said, but would also add that "Factory sealed, 1 use only" or "lifetime" doesn't mean anything. They just want to sell you a new unit, and every year prices go up, it's a whole scam.. if they can put it together, you can take it apart.
Don't worry, once society collapses people will figure out some stuff again.
Can you Canadians even qualify as a first world nation anymore 😂, your overlord Trudeau is destroying Canada
I really like just how well they actually explain how things work. They are genuine great educators.
The real stars the technicians and mechanics shown doing the work! 👌
I love when there is an update on the Sandro and Angelina channel. They don't even need to introduce themselves anymore.
I thought his name was Miranda.
@@Okurka.that’s his shop name
@@410cey5 Miranda's Shop is the shop name; he also has the Miranda name tag on his shirt.
15:53 - Lmao I love the random call-back to the sandals here.
_Get that man some chanchalas!_
I'd buy Sandro sandals merch. Sandrals.
@@rjmariThat's gold, Jerry! Gold!
@@rjmari🤣🤣🤣
Sandro is pure full of experience. That’s the real mechanic
Back in 2005 I paid 200euros a radiator technician to manufacture for me a triple row radiator for my ford escort. When the car went for scrap in 2018 i removed the radiator and gave it back to the technician. It was a masterpiece and i couldn't leave it for scrap. The technician was very pleased with the appreciation i showed for his craftsmanship.
Iam so glad this channel exists. These two deserve youtube fame
These videos are getting better and better. They had me at the “getting intimate with that trans”. Keep these videoa coming. Sandro and Angelina side by side are the best.
12:13. Excuse me? ……Say that again…..
12:59 “Don’t be looking at me!”
LMAO!!!🤣😂
Angelina is SO good at explaining things!! I was really impressed by how she explained batteries and their components. learned about it in class but didn't absorb anything until I heard her explain it lol. thanks Angelina.
also love how Sandro says "yeah, I've done that" to like half of the hacks
8:03 dudes pump was INSANE😂
Love it when pro's like Sandro and Angelina are respecting the skills on display. Pro's respect Pro's.
Angelina and Sandro are naturals in front of the camera. Pure charisma.
I love these two. I want tours of their shops, tours of their cars, tattoos, car museum visits, a day at Disney, anything.
5:57 - "Let's switch to the next clip'' was the cutest thing I have ever seen 😍
LOVE SANDRO AND ANGELINA
Angelina and Sandro are my favorite duo and that earthquake reaction was gold.
Two of the best on the web. Never disappoints. They call it like they see it but what I really appreciate is how they acknowledge good work when they see it. So many people could have just mocked the folks in some of those clips. They both clearly know their craft.
"Honda, it runs no matter what"
my Honda C100 with nearly split in two-missing half its balls wheel bearing, broken switches that still works, 27 years old components and wiring that's still somehow working, all leaking oil engine block, recently flooded engine from the air filter, carburetor, exhausts and even some in the combustion chamber (and it ironically runs better mpg after its flushed and cleaned), and running on whipped mix of oil+water for dozens of km while still running smoothly
yeah. they're immortal man.
I’m a lead-acid battery formation technician for what is formerly Exide and I approve of that battery rebuild except for the terrible soldering of the cells. The plates were ok but those burns on the cells were junk and that being a truck battery, those will fail later from vibration.
But the good thing about lead-acid batteries is they can be rebuilt and are 99% recyclable.
I honestly love how insanely recyclable lead-acid batteries are. I used to deliver car parts and one of the most common types of core returns I'd have to take back were used car batteries. The chemistry is so simple and so easily reconditionable, but also so toxic and nightmarish to the environment, that there's literally no excuse for not returning old battery cores. You might as well get a few bucks back for the return.
Love this duo. Straight up reminds of school when the two chillest teachers would combine classes for a specific lesson.
Angelina explains things in a way I can understand. I really appreciate her explanations
Excellent hosts. Could watch these two all day.
Again, as many of us have said. This is how this show should be presented every week. “Real Mechanic Stuff hosted by Angelina and Sandro” they’re amazing and should definitely run the show. Love it, love it, love it
The guy taking the motor out of the car with his hands was probably at a "U-pull it" during a Anything you can carry out sale!
When I was a kid my dad was working on a Buick with a V-8 motor that he stripped down to the heads and block before he lifted it out of the engine bay with his bare hands cracking 2 ribs doing it! Then he comes in the house asking why none of us came out there to help him! Pretty impressive!
Yup I have a few friends that helped me with getting a motor
That guy better not make a habit of taking an engine block out that way. That's a herniated disc waiting to happen.
When I was younger I used to deadlift fully built Subaru engines and put on a stand to mess with new guys in the shop…. But I couldn’t have walked with one and I stopped when I hurt my back one day picking up an unmounted 14” tire. 😆
I used to deliver car parts and one of the really cool things I learned about car batteries is that they are the most recycled product by a large margin, with paper and aluminum coming in a distant second and third. If you buy a car battery "new" odds are its guts have been extracted from an old battery, reconditioned, and then stuffed into an entirely new casing to be sold as if it's new. Lead-acid batteries are THE recyclable rechargeable battery chemistry.
These repairs are awesome! We gotta have a part 2!
Absolutely love the radiator repair and battery rebuild. These guys have the skills to do what we no longer do.
We have skills to that, not sure about you, we are not doing that because we want to live and enviroment around us clean. Also it's more expensive to do that than earn money and pay somone to do that correctly.
You want to be around melting lead all day? I wouldn't.
This only happens in places where labour is super cheap. Shops in North America charge $200 an hour and it takes 4 hours to repair a rad. You might as well get a brand new one with warranty at that point.
They're such a great combo. Channels usually never evolve this smoothly. Yall killing it STILL
This is the format. Angelina and Sandro. rms most watchable ❤
“Let’s spin into that next clip”….i fell in love with
I remember when the Paris-Dakar Rally first had to avoid Africa, they drove Paris-Moscow-Beijing, and somewhere in Kazakhstan a random nomad helped one car by repairing a punctured fuel tank with some sort of tanned hide.
The Dakar rally legit drives from Paris to Dakar?
I thought they just did like a 10 miles stage or whatever and then packed up the cars and flew them to the next one…
@geterhero Yeah it was drive or ride the whole way, what a crazy, amazing era
I sincerely love both Angelina and Sandro, and their chemistry together makes their work with -Donut- Real Mechanic Stuff even better!
Working on cars and wearing sandals while doing it AND having all toes. A mighty flex
7:06 thought Sandro was going to say.. I've done that 😂😂
Miss A and Sandro!!!
I love how their personalities play off each other. Sandro is goofy and cool and Miss A is knowledgeable and nerdy; chocolate and peanut butter, cereal and milk, salty and sweet, Abbott and Costello.
Love them!!!
"my dads gunna watch this clip and be like 'lets start doing that again'" and he goes NOPE. haha i feel that prim
Love this combo they compliment each other perfectly. Harmony and chaos you guess who's who.
the radiator repair, tire repair by sewing and diff repair, are from one country of Pakistan, where repairing is a custom rather than replacing.
they even repair, broken rear differential lockers which is basically too hard,
and even repair the burnt or totaled cars and buses.
I love it when these two team up! Especially like how Angelina explains how things work. More please!
Well, her claim that electrons pile up on one side of a battery is nonsense, so there's that...
The way they reacted to the earthquake reminds me of Clarkson with his "Oh no, anyway"
Thank you for this channel. Never knew I needed it- but always stoked when something new drops 😂
Such an awesome duo for the show! Make them permanent on the show! :) I wish all car mechanics were as honest as them!
Love these two. This girl's knowledge 🫨👌🏻
I love that you can hear people giggling behind the camera at their jokes lmao
These two are really good together. Fun to watch.
This is such good content. I love how the hosts contextualize what we're seeing.
Angelina & Sandro ... the best combo ... like... ever!
Sandro and Angelina are such treasures!
The clip at 13:07 he was vulcanizing a tire. My Dad used to do 1000's of those a year and I have done 100's myself. That repair is actually stronger than the rest of the sidewall. It is still used today but more for Farm and mining equipment in the U.S.
I used to be a Taxi driver at one of those " fix it all" places and i can tell you first hand that the radiator would ended up overheating, the battery dying, and rotors shaking, and you most likely get an electrical fire. I wish you had a clip of the "Ice Box" AC system though !
These two are the best, love Angelina and Sandro, they are superstars
12:17 and then Sandro's "Excuse me?"
Sandro and Angelina are so awesome together haha, love both of them
I'm a private contractor in the middle east and my Rubicon broke an axle in Shehn on the border of Yemen and Oman. A young fellow took off my rear axle and took it apart, used a rudimentary lathe and welded a new shaft together, repaired the cast housing and everything. The entire back end of my Jeep was removed. Total cost was about $300 and took 1 day. They only had hand tools.
The guy @17:06 pulling the motor out, then carrying it was a Superman flex! Hat`s off to him! Hey, it`s the Angelina and Sandro show! Awesome.😁
All I could think was "Lift with your knees, not with your back!"
16:19 i don't even know if that sounded mexican but this is the most mexican sandro would get saying mechanically 💀
These are the best two people always. They should always do it instead of the others
Angelina missed that comment about the Nikes " Are those made out of clay too?" .Angelina and Sandro are a killer set of guest, always. Both funny AF and make the show
What a treat watching Angie and Sandro together. They should open a shop together Sandro would go buy old cars and Angelina would put them together. What a great tv show that would be. Isn't it?
11:57 Y’all were so chill about this 😭
Happens all the time in Southern California
@@HondaCivic-lj4riThat reminds me of the time there was an earthquake in New Zealand during an interview with the Prime Minister, and she was pretty chill the whole time.
@@Nefville The earthquake that interrupted the interview with New Zealand's Prime Minister was 5.8, and she took it in stride.
Had a plastic-top radiator crack halfway back on the way home from vacation. I made a band-aid out of a piece of a pizza box wrapped in electrical tape, used liquid gasket for the adhesive, and then strapped it on using twine that I threaded through the fins and "Sewed" the thing tight. Made it 3 hours home plus the rest of the week doing short trips in town.
I was just volunteering on a tall ship recently, this reminds me of all the weird stuff we had to do to re-rig her spars and sails, because the infrastructure that was designed to do that kind of thing doesn't exist any more. Everything has to be improvised with modern power tools and parts of the ship's rigging. Replacement parts have to be sourced cross-country at great cost, and it's hard to get wood that's both ethical and has the right properties. Also, the last professional wooden-boat shipwrights are aging out, and there aren't many people who will be capable of replacing them. Pretty soon, the world's tall ships, both historical and replica, will be maintained and repaired entirely by improvised and makeshift means... fortunately, there will always be people who can make that work!
