- A day in the life of a mobile mechanic. We hit the road in an old UPS truck turned mobile car repair shop and see what it's like to fix vehicles on the side of the road. How much do we make and what do we do. Thanks for watching! 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤, 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫.

Bro props to u. U have kids, ur own company, and u go to college. Awesome
Autozone, please man, sponsor this guy ! What are you guys waiting for ?! He’s smart and honest and he uses your store everyday !!! No Brainer!
Plus he even looks like he could be the Autozone repair man dressed in his orange jump suit
they are a multi billion dollar company they don't sponsor people
@@startingtech3900 Multibillion dollar company that in my opinion sells subpar parts for the cost of oem parts.
@@mph5896 most stuff ive used is decent got to know what to buy like ernest and i
@@mph5896 i use the ngk spark plugs for 2.69 a pop never let me dwn oreillys wants 6.99 for the same plug
Shoutout to this man for actually doing diagnostic work instead of just throwing a fuel pump at it just to find out it's bad wiring/relays.
@Kid Ko If it's not broke, don't fix it.
@Kid Ko you start doing stuff like that and you’ll never make any money or you’ll never have any money
@Kid Ko I have the feeling a good portion of his customer base just want their cars running as inexpensively as possible.
@@craigcurtis9781 if it looks like garbage and is nearly 30 years old, replace it. Especially while you're already down there.
Good job! I do this stuff only I'm not currently mobile they come to me.
Mobile Mechanics are a blessing when your vehicle won't start, or you're like me, a Hot Rodder who needs some expert help, or an extra hand,hope the day never comes when there are no mobile mechanics.....Thanks to all the Mobile Mechanics out there ,you provide a valuable service..
Great video. I used to be a mobile mechanic also. I worked out of 1978 toyota celica, very tough too lol. I like your truck set up and integrity keep on bringing value to people my man God bless you and your family.
Thank you. I appreciate that. I’ll admit you’re videos have helped me out a time or two!
$500 for a little more than a half days work plus time with the family and time to take classes. You're killing it man, good for you, keep it up.
" AIN'T GOT NO GAS IN IT " 😂😂😂
It's cool seeing a young guy with some hustle, stay after it.
What a great business concept, I've never seen a traveling mechanic, that's thinking outside the box, good for you. I used to be a mechanic back in the day, in the 70's, cars were a lot simpler to work on then, a tune-up was points, plugs, condenser lol. Now it's more complicated, I give you a lot of credit. God Bless you and your business.
@Michael bell it actually is, I went from fixing helicopters to being a collision tech in littler over a year , disassembling and repairing almost anything , suspension, condensers, radiator, AC systems , frames, it’s really just your mechanical aptitude that holds you back
@Michael bell It really all depends on the car. My 2010 Camaro SS, plugs and wires are a total piece of cake, all the room you could ever need. Almost everything is easy on that platform. My old 1995 Trans Am? That car was a nightmare, enough that a lot of used 4th gen Camaro/Firebirds will still have the factory plug for the #8 cylinder still installed. My 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer and 2013 Chevy Cruze are also very easy to work on. A lot of the older cars are easy to work on as well as a lot of the newer stuff. But there are also a ton of nightmare cars from each era. That said, I will work on nearly any modern car over a 1980s - early 90's GM product any day of the week. Vacuum line hell with nearly zero clearance for anything - they just packed things in there so dang tight.
@Michael bell I got the tools and the speed, it might be a tie
My father in law is a mobile mechanic. Started his business in 1999. Going 21 years strong. Aka “Extreme Mobile Mechanic” in Arizona.
I can barely fix a sandwhich. You do good work...rock on!😊
This is how 90 %. Of all your videos should be shot bud this is by far the best and definitely sets your absolute abilities apart please please continue doing this!!!!!!
Thank you!
Hey don't sell yourself short...those no starts should cost a lot more. They can't even bring it to a shop for a diagnosis and having you come to them is priceless!!!
Tell them you'll be there and...don't go no where lol.
Yea if its a no start they would have to pay to have it towed and then worked on. So even charging them at the same price of a repair shop or just slightly under your still saving them the tow fee. Unless the car insurance they have covers it.
Where i am from, mobile mechanics are alot more expensive than the shop. after all they come to you.
Agrees
Exactly. Being cheaper isn't always better. Especially when offering a premium service.
I bet a tow and diagnostics are $150 combined.
@@kevinconquest3473 no start diagnostic in my area is $150 plus what a tow cost. 😲
Utah's not a bad place to have a mobile business. Beautiful scenery in all directions!
What if there’s no business 😂
@@jonathangomez8269 with the amount of off roaring and mountain riding up there that’s not likely lol
No rust either!
PROPS BROTHER, i am a 40 year transmission tech my self and i see real talent when i see it and you have it.
Whereabouts do you work?
Hard working American man. He ain’t looking for no handouts. I clean carpets for a living. Being on the grind 6-7 days/week. Hard work pays off.
Keep up the great work, brother!
This guy radiates positive attitude. Positive about people, his work, his supplier. Please emigrate to the UK.
That was a smart and quick way to diagnose that fuel pump on that first non starter car. Keep the good work 👍
Bro that's how we're trained in roadside
Nice video! I ran a Shop out of my garage on my days off on Nextdoor for 2 years. I had awesome reviews and had no overhead. I only worked on cars 10 years old and newer. It made life so much easier. Everyone tried to convince me to open up a real shop. My workload got so insane. It affected my main mechanic job. When I changed jobs I quit my side shop. I still get calls 2 years later from my customers and friends of customers. I took a picture of my old parts next to the new ones. I took pics of every conversation etc. It saved my ass from 2 bad customers. At 47. I just want to work 40-45 hrs a week and go home lol
You're doing a great service. Wish you were near my town. Try to remember to wear safety glasses whenever working under the car, from experience‼️😉😎👍🏻
Gotta love those mobile mechanics. I have driven truck over the road since 1998. They have saved my day several times.
Bub I see your a family man nice seeing your kids playing I think every little town needs a on the go pro like you nice work give your self a real pat on the back
I repair forklifts own my own business, I use u haul trucks i currently have a 17 foot box i dont know how you work without air but you seem to make due, much respect to you.
I really like how the roof of your truck allows light to come in, less lighting needs to be on during the day
I use to drive one. In the summer in Florida the roof is like a greenhouse. It let's in light and heat.
Delivery drivers use those roofs, yes like the others say the greenhouse effect is extreme with them.
Been mobile for 20 years. I’d say it’s been pretty good for me,lol! Keep it simple, sleep better, live longer!
You should grab one of those 20v leaf blowers, blow out under the car before you start working so you don't get as dirty! Just a thought! Love the videos!
Scrolled down here looking for this comment!
Thought the same exact thing!
Pick up some moving blankets from Harbor Freight and they'll cover the dirt and give a more comfortable spot to work in. Their very inexpensive for the big ones....especially when they're on sale.
Harbor Freight sells the blower for $ 50.00 cordless 😉
This man will always do well he's honest and he does great work
Greetings from a fellow mobile mechanic. Much success to you!
What vehicle do you use im looking to get into the trade
Thanks, you too!
Get home from work to watch more work. Understandable
Dude I don’t even know crap about cars nor do I even do any mechanic work myself but I just like watching you do it, very knowledgeable, legit didn’t even know mobile mechanics were a thing until I found your TH-cam by accident keep it up man 💯
New sub here. Great channel. Honest!! I like and respect that.
Thank you! :)
All explained very well.
Really good what you do for people.
Top video.
Gaz from the UK.
I enjoyed the whole 43 minutes. Great video! I was a technician and fixed machines 2 years ago. Now I work with computers somewhat but I’m going into business. Never been my own boss like you until later this year cause I just got some money to invest from my dad. We’re gonna be partners even though he doesn’t his money back. He just told me to formulate a business plan and that he’s going to fund it. Not a day goes by without my dad telling that he loves me. Man I was born so lucky!
That is awesome!
@Alfred Ripley I just spoke to my dad’s friend who is a business advisor and accountant just like his wife. He already told me to try the markets I’ll be pushing before throwing money at it. Man he treated me like a son because I went there to help them unload some stuff for an apartment they’re fixing to rent. Things are just being handed to me. God is so good to this fool!! Wonderful great Jesus Christ.
We enjoy watching your videos, however, the music playing while you are talking, is very distracting and we feel takes away from the content and information you are trying to get across to your audience. Your videos aren't the only ones that do it. Maybe you & other creators could refrain from music during your content or turn it down so we can hear you over it. Just an idea.
You never realize how strong plastic is until you’re trying to open something in a hurry
Great video! Mad props for owning your own business, being a family man and going to school. Stay humble and honest. You have yourself a new subscriber.
I tip my hat to you did this for 2 years out of a 6x8 enclosed trailer , got in a lot of bad situations , cancellations , wasted trips , people not answering the door when it was time to pay, calling police saying I'm trespassing when they go in to get money after I'd finished, going for a call no car but 4 guys trying to steal my truck trailer and tools. I'll still go to customers cars in a emergency but a lot less stress maid a deal with a small towing service $75 tows for service without all the running, fuel, part issues I make twice as much out of a 2 stall garage . keep at it man
Where do u live sounds bad i live ina bad area and ppl still wouldn't try n rob you like that dam shady ass ppl
Same problems I have then add Snow and Rain I live in Canada. It Sucks!
Alright, new sub here, and I love your channel. Any service where you go to the customer in lieu of them coming to you is solid gold, in my opinion. The idea of a mobile mechanic is smart. It ranks right up there with mobile auto detailers and mobile personal trainers (the trainers who bring their gym/studio in a cargo trailer or box truck). But here's a bit of advice... stop mentioning Auto Zone's name and merch. Don't even show their boxes or house brands on you videos. They don't have to sponsor you, you're advertising for them for free. But keep hustling and building your brand and channel, and soon the sponsors will come. I've seen channels, not auto mechanic channels, but channels nonetheless, with less subs than yours with sponsors. They're coming. I promise. But in the meantime, stop giving the milk away for free. I look forward to your future content.
Man being a mechanic and technician for the last 20yrs brotha my hat goes off to you brother. You are very honest and humble and good mechanic. Like the time with the diesel truck u guys just got u wasn't afraid to reach out for help and made a video about and learned ur self about powerstrokes too. Bro God bless you and keep up the good work. Ppl like u give us a clean image. Also quick thought on that neon I seen those injectors go bad as well. Just something to keep in mind. Check the fuel trim of when the code was set. Take care and God bless love watching your videos
Haven't been around lately but I'm glad you are talking about prices now. All the upgrades with the truck are nice! Keep at it
Love this vid ! Thanks so much for all that you do, and for sharing your day with us. You have a new subscriber.
This is so cool man I didn't even know mobile mechanics were a thing, great content, subscribed!
A little trick I use on those troublesome gaskets is a thin layer of Vaseline.
Gasoline is petroleum oil vaseline is petroleum jelly.
So they don't interfere with each other 😎👍
Glad I found you, I get to learn how to diagnose my own vehicle at times
Gotta respect this guys abilities and to be able to work on the fly like this. I couldn't do this for the life of me!
I don't know you but you don't know how happy I am to you see or anyone do what you do. I love the fact that you have your own mobile business and I sense that it's given you a lot of pride and peace. You have a great attitude which is great especially since you have little ones. This is what our great country is about working hard and paving your own way. I love everything about this channel, you now have a new sub.
I was a mobile detailer and people were always crying about parking spaces or noise. Almost like they had nothing to do for the day so their daily activity was being a miserable Karen.
You seem like such a good dude. I credit you for this so much as so many people these days lack compassion and the ability to treat others how they wish to be treated. I wish you the best of luck in life man. I hope you have a ton of success for you and your family. Take care brother.
Enjoy watching your videos. You seems like a honest and good person. Keep it up!
Awesome video my friend hope your well lovin the amount of content lately keep it up bud
I’m very very new to auto mechanics but I’m trying to be like a sponge and learn as much as I can from watching these kinds of videos as well as just personal experience and trial and error. I want to commend you on your troubleshooting ability. I think most would agree the implementation of a auto related fix is such a small part of it and what makes you so good at what you do is the ability to quickly and efficiently use tricks you’ve learned from years of experience to help you narrow the field of possible issues and diagnose a problem. Really cool to see how you go about that. Great videos and all the best. Thanks!
Great video man! I'm a mobile mechanic. You were spot on about how much can be made in a day. I get exhausted from all the driving. I find that almost 50 percent of the time I'm working, I'm on the road. Keep up the great work!
Excellent video. I appreciate you sharing this. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for sharing your experiences as a mobile mechanic. You have inspired me to do the same thing. I plan to apply for my LLC in January and get rolling!
Man that $200-$500+ range of money per day sounds really nice rn. I just started and I’ve made about $320 doing basic maintenance for others. I enjoy watching your videos and look forward to learning more from you
Tip of advice. If you are doing work on other peoples vehicles, get insurance to cover you in case of claims. Have work orders for the exact work done. Just so you are covered.
@@maverick29 how much is ther insurance and what type
@@joeysanchez5926 Mechanic Liability Insurance and prices can vary. It is well worth it as all it takes is one claim to lose everything. Check around there are many companies that offer it and see what works best for you.
You provide such a great service to your community, you make things look so easy ,but I know better !
I loved it man. I'll be watching more of these.
Stumbled on your video by chance Earnest watching you form the UK really enjoyed watching your day unfold love that old mail van you use it's huge compared to the mail vans we have in England keep the videos coming👍
Dang $80 for a diagnostic is super cheap! Blessing to your community
@Kid Ko Prolly for a friend but I never heard of a shop only charging $80 for a diag. Especially now days.
I can't tell you how many times I've done diags for free lol.
@@c.o.p.civilian_on_patrol9754 Cool can you help with my car?
Im currently studying to be an Auto tech and eventually I would like to get to a point where I can do what you do! Being an honest mechanic feels so great and is so rewarding especially cause you get the most consistent and understanding customers! Great video! Subscribing!
You are a awsome mechanic! Stay humble and honest and you'll always have work!!
having a hand handle leaf blower comes in handy when leafs are down and to blow them away for a cleaner work area :)
You're business is awesome! I would like to suggest using wheel chocks as an added safety when jacking up a vehicle.
Dude this channel is awesome amazing troubleshooting skills!
Great detailed video! Been loving watching your channel lately
just started whatching your channel and super repairs pal keep up the good work you deserve it pal
My OCD keeps saying “Why’d the customer park so close to the fence with the door that’s being fixed” 🥴
Great Video, you show the truth about hard work and honestly.
My father and I have a mobile forklift mechanic service. Were full service anything from flywheel ring gear to hydraulic repacking
hey! fellow lift truck mechanic!
Got urself a sub my friend. Love the vids attitude towards your daily goals great work and pretty fast far as I can see. Love from nc. Keep on keepin on.
Great video as always, love how you explained your pay
I really appreciate your videos man. Im currently a mechanic for my uncles shop and getting completely screwed on pay. I always assumed that since i didnt own the shop that how it was but not anymore. As soon as im able to make the same or even slightly less from mobile repairs I'm cutting ties and and going completely independent. Thank you so much for these videos theyre such inspiration for someone like me who loves the work but hates the circumstances around the work.
That's right run with it free thinker haven't you ever wanted to tell your boss I want to do this or I want to do that with the place but he just wouldn't do it now look who the boss Is I think he'll listen LOL
Yea some people just don't get how organized disorganization works 😏👍🏾
I call it organized chaos
I find these videos so relaxing. Great job and I’m actually learning a lot.
I subscribed and I liked this video. That's the content I'm looking for :D Keep up the good work!
Just some advice, stop saying "A***zone" until they pay you. Contact an ad marketing agency to help you get sponsors. It's not that hard and you have the numbers to start doing it with smaller companies
Exactly! Because autozone gaining
I was a mobile detailer and people were always crying about parking spaces or noise. Almost like they had nothing to do for the day so their daily activity was being a miserable Karen.
Just curious how the other local stores will treat you or a bad experience with them if so then autozone's praise really is in order if they never were a sponsor
@@danlevesque5437 This conversation if above your head friend, there's an understanding in what I'm saying for those who know what I'm talking about.
@@AndersionJaksion-to4tv wtf does you're comment have to do with autozone?
I love the Scenery and the Mountains in your town. Really nice. Be safe, Keep working hard, be happy, smile and stay blessed.
Thank you, I will
now so pretty when it's winter with snow on the ground and he's freezing his ass doing those same repairs!
Hey bud I just found you on TH-cam and I enjoyed watching this video. Keep up the good work and don’t stop making content-wish you the best 🙏🏼🤙🏼
What a Great Channel! I love the way you talk through everything you are doing. You are Honest and do Excellent Work, Something that is rare in the mechanic world! I am not mechanically inclined, and to see someone that is a very good mechanic show how you do this work is amazing! The way you position the camara makes me feel like I'm there with you. I am definitely subscribing to your Channel! Plus, you are a family man! God Bless You! Please keep making videos, I'm going to tell my friends about you. Thanks!
Dude... you had me at screenshot. Using a "bread" truck for a shop truck 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 never thought about that! Such an awesome idea. I thought about doing a mobile mechanic business myself, but it's been years since I've laid hands on a car for maintenance. I'm super rusty and wouldn't even know where to start. Also thought about auto detailing. Anyways, I think I'm gonna stick around and see what you got going on, bro. Keep up the good work and stay safe. 😁
Sad part is it’s a mess to everyone else but us people know where everything exactly is just cause you made the mess
I'm totally with you there brother. Unless something I have isn't in my box it's laying either in my truck or somewhere around my workspace.
Unless it's that damned 10mm
Can never find that fucker
@@terminat0r414 lol the 10mm for me is always at the bottom of the box when I leave it at the top but where I live is bump city and potholes always shaking everything lol females don’t understand it I be like don’t touch nothing then your gonna make me forget 🤣🤷🏽♂️
My plumbing truck is the same but I have no issues finding everything I need.
There is always a pather in the chaos some enjoy it that way.
Literally spent my entire childhood explaining that concept to my mom. She never bought it lol. Still had to clean my room.
Love to see the "Day in the life" videos. Give us a true prospective of what you have to go thru.
Dude I don't know much about cars, but I'm proud of you. You seem like a stand up guy and a real good member of society offering a great service. Hell I wish you lived near me, but I can tell that you don't base on the mountains in the background
if u need a easy way to remember if u locked your boxes or not without having to check them before leaving? when the box is unlocked keep the key with you in your pocket or chain or something, and when the box is locked, leave it on top of the box. Works great for me
Seems peaceful working going around working on cars by yourself I'd enjoy that!
Thumbs up and just subscribed here! Thanks for the show and keep up the great work!
Just discovered this channel. I love it! So much good content on youtube.
You are very honest and hard working this is coming from a subscriber that has been with you since the beginning.
Thanks for sharing all the info and continued success with your venture!
Thanks steve! I remember you from the beginning!
Could be a bad ground to the fuel pump as well. You will get bit calling bad fuel pumps like that. Take a test light from positive and hook it to the feed spot on the relay to the fuel pump. If it lights then you know your wiring is in tact feed and ground. If it doesn't then you need to trouble shoot back at the pump and verify ground and power to it. Plus you need to see if the computer is commanding the fuel pump on or not.
@Hank Bridges But it doesn't identify the technicians lack of training, their lack of knowledge or their lack of practical skills...that only comes with taking an interest, training and experience. No point having thousands of $$ worth of equipment if one doesn't know how to use the equipment, has no basic electrical knowledge and no basic skills right?..🤣lol
@@simonilett998 I am not talking about thousands of dollars worth of tools, I am talking about a $3 Harbor Freight Test light. Yes he needs to know how to do the test, but that why I am telling him how to do it. He will get there.
@@frugalprepper My apologies, I think you mistook my post as a reply to yours. I wasn't questioning your method using a test light at all, I actually clicked the like button to this post but pretty sure that's all. A test light is one of the most reliable and cost effective tests to confirm cicuit integrity 'before' firing the parts cannon...lol. I was simply replying to Hank Bridges' post about using much more expensive equipment, as it would be a substantial investment for the tools he suggested and the time it would take to learn some basics, before it would be much good to someone with little experience. Perhaps my post ended up in the wrong place, as I've seen that a few times on YT recently, and also don't see Hank's post here now either👍
New subscriber here! Honestly I enjoy the video keep it up man.
Really like your day in the life and repair videos you give me a good idea of what it’s like to do your line of work good video thanks for posting it
U ought to look into quick jack... or another mobile hydrologic lift system like the scissor lift and a gas powered air compressor
No disrespect, but being a mobile mechanic seems about as bad as I imagined it being. I hate rolling around on the cold, dirty ground working on my own cars at my own home. I can't imagine going to a strange location to work on someone else's hooptie, particularly to apartment properties where people might give you lots of grief for doing work in the parking lot. Feel like this is a job that would be infinitely better with a buddy/partner, but I get that the financials don't work out. Major props to you though, good sir. Subbed. Very interesting stuff.
I’ve been a mobile mechanic for 20 years and if you saw the cars I get to take care of you would probably want to become one yourself!
They make better money than us ase mechanics. And if I did it I'd definitely want an assistant but, that's a slippery slope. They will soon start taking their own jobs.

ASE is a waste of money.
@@righteousone1 will it hit me higher pay at the dealership. 18 -$32 was a big difference back then
I was just thinking yesterday about Mobile auto repair and find this TH-cam video. I like cars. I really do. I always wanted to be in some way in the Automotive industry. I know cars. Took one apart at twelve. Come a long way myself. Autism should never stop you from being you and achieving your hopes and dreams.
Good stuff my friend ran into your videos and I can relate. I do the same thing run around town helping out as many people as I can with their vehicle needs. Too chicken to go live like you do on your videos. Good stuff keep it up God Bless.
great video buddy like always stay humble you going places
Agreed
When I was young I didn't wear safety glasses under cars either. The I got a piece of metal in my eye.
I did too, while cutting an exhaust U-clamp with a cutoff wheel, a piece of metal flew straight in my eye and to the ER and the Doctor there told me " consider it your last warning "
.
@@diy_tigremasacre6176 I take a shot glass whit water and put in on my eye whit trash in and blink in the water a fue times and it works. But I use safety glasses now days.
I wore safety glasses once and then they broke cause they're plastic and I ended up getting something in my eye anyways, from the safety glasses.
A brick can fall on you out of the sky at any moment and kill you too. Not everything is black and white, everything varies and there are solutions to every problem. Not all of them are the same. Stop babysitting people.
@@johnbraucher1499 Chris H shared his experience and so did I and then Asnres45, who's is riding with him babysitting?
We left a comment, he can or cannot learn from it, whatever broke in your face wasn't the right tool for the job.
Why so Sensitive!?
@@diy_tigremasacre6176 haha I'm swedish I cant spell English that good. Much love

Welcome back to the roadside rescue youtube channel.
Suggest organizing van with labels for your tools & parts. Every advantage you can get on speed can help. Also suggest getting a rechargeable leaf blower to clean area under a car before working.
I'm just starting a mobile/shop mechanic business and i appreciate your honesty because I'm trying to change the negative stigma of mechanics and it helps. I learned all my old school diag from my high school auto tech teacher.
Keep grinding bro, nothing like working for yourself. Best of luck to you in your future.
I wasn't convinced this was in Utah for a fact until 28:16 when I saw all those babies. Bringham Young and Bringem Often.
