This is Angelina's and Sandro's channel now and I like it
Abso-friggin-lutly
Angelina can def get it. All donut guys grin from this comment 😂😉😁👍
I feel like Sandro is trying to be on his best behavior lol
Egg smell also is an indication of plugged up catalytic or partially plugged due to raw unburned fuel causing this.
@@rashinduriyko3578pretty sure she’s into chicks bud
Just hire Sandro and Angelina to Donut already
They have their own lives outside of this channel. A shop teacher and mechanic shop. Doubt they are just gonna leave that
I can almost guarantee both of them make more money running their businesses than they ever would being full on Donut hosts.
Maybe, they might get bored not wrenching on stuff tho
They have jobs, bud.
What if hey simply like what they're doing right now? Having to feed a family as a full-time internet clown is probably not as easy as it may sound to you.
Angelina: *Explaining everything in great detail and with profound knowledge.*
Sandro: "Caveman! Metal! Power! For the BOYS!"
Angelina is a teacher, so it’s expected that she’d be able to articulate why shit works.
they should just get rid of sandro
That's why they work so well together. It's like Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters
@@hyperboreanforeskin why get rid of him explain it in more detail.
Just because u do tires , suspension and brakes does not meke you a mechanic these days
I love how Angelina gives a perfect technical explanation of what’s going on in every video and then Sandro just says “don’t fucking do that” Lol. They work well together
To be honest, angelina and sandro own this channel now gg
METAL. POWER. START. Sell the motor. Ready to go!
True. I don't even care about the donut guys on this channel anymore, they feel like supporting characters for my boy Sandro lol.
True and I am guessing they are getting paid enough as they keep coming back.
If it ain't angelina and sandro I don't even click.
lol #truth
These two rock. Angelina knows her stuff, Sandro knows it, but is willing to sketchy stuff for the boys!
If I had an old jalopy, I’d bring it to Sandro if it needed some sketchy cheap fix. 😅
If I have learned anything from this channel, never, ever go out with The Boys. Don’t let The Boys near your car and don’t let them in your shop when you’re working on your car.
For the boys! 🍻
For the boys!
The boys! 🍻
I think yall made the perfect choice having these two be the main faces of RMS. Angelina is literally so educational and it really makes this channel thrive. IMO
Factz and Sandro makes it funny so the dumbasses like me actually remember
Honestly the best combo since PB&J
I LOVE how these two bounce off each other. It's really good to watch
sandro and angelina are the backbone of real mechanic stuff. all the other hosts are great but it’s just something about these two
you want them to dp you; understandab;e
We fell in love early on lol
Lmfao, and you MUST know what you’re talking about. These kids don’t even register on the scale of mechanics.
@@rogvarley6971 sandro and angelina?
@rogvarley6971 One is a teacher, and one is an auto mechanic business owner. If they don't know what they are talking about, then neither do we as an audience
This duo is my favourite
If they weren't as busy with their actual jobs, I'd love for them to get their own channel and do videos every other day, even vlogs from their shop. They work really well together and are both fun to watch.
Same!!!!
@@captainsewerratand also SAME!!!!
Same, definitely my faves
Agreed!
Sandro is definitely my favorite on this entire channel and I am SO GLAD he has stuck around as long as he has. Plus, I have loved those vampire fangs right from his very first appearance!
Angelina: explains everything technically
Sandro: !METAL!!POWER!!START!
I love it best duo
I love how commenters used to criticize Angelina for not knowing anything, so since then she's stepped up and explained every single thing she sees. Master Mechanic Certified lol let's go
Peeps who criticized her were probably the same type who are intimidated by girls in general. Pretty obvs she knows her stuff from the get go, glad more people see it now!
I‘d love her to teach me💪🔧🛠️
I feel like she goes on too long during he explanation sometimes. She talked about that 15 second clip of the pulley for the belt missing for almost 2 minutes.
@@HerecomestheCalaverai think thats good, at least one youtuber that explains correctly and in depth. Without explaining for halw an hour.
@@HerecomestheCalavera
If it bothers you, pretty sure you can can skip over to the next clip
I really appreciate that Sandro and Angelina don't ever pretend they've never made any mistakes. If they see something they've done before and learnt a lesson from they're the 1st to speak up and say they've done that, it was stupid, and for us all to learn from that.
Touché....
Something that EVERYONE needs to learn how to do.
I feel like Angelina's students end up making great mechanics. She's just always in teacher mode but it doesn't come off condescending.
And I'm probably gonna take my car to Sandro's shop next time I need a repair, no joke.
Is Sandro his last name? I heard somewhere that his full name is Dacia Sandro.
Sandro is the best at owning up to shit
I come to the channel for the video, I stay for Angelina and Sandro...absolute legends
Angie is the academics and Sandro is the practicals ❤the “perfecto” duo
"I did that." Of course you did, Sandro. And that's why we love you.
Angelina it happened it happened to me 😂
Find a smarter cute chi.
They have the best chemistry. Sandro is the comedy relief and Angelina has all the information but they both just flow together so damn well
Yeah, these two are my favorite.
good scripts
Yeah, this was fire. I agree.
Cheers mate.
I know they should have babies and get married and stuff
Sandro says:
"You'll go bold from that spot for a cool minute"
"If you find a good mechanic stick with him, even if he charges a lot"
I can't handle his quips.
The "street skooled/tech schooled" combo is back!!! Yes to Angelina & Sandro!!! You guys are a winning formula 👊😉
They actually listened and put big Sandro and Angelina on a episode by themselves, We love you !
Agreed, it is nice to have a video with Dacia and Angenlina without one of the Donut people next to them trying to be funny.
They have a few others with just them too!
@@HerecomestheCalavera yeah, one can understand if there are situations when one of the hosts is too serious so they have this other guy doing the jokes and balancing out, but it feels like all of the real mechanics that have appeared are already really funny with natural and laid back delivery.
I’ve known Sandro personally for a while when I was running Cortez Auto Service in Los Angeles. Great guy and great work with Rim repair standing out for me glad to see him on here
Angelina is a natural teacher, explains things clearly and well. I always learn something from her!
Angelina and MY FAVOURITE DUDE SANDRO CARRYING THE CHANNEL, both always have awesome takes!
Angelina @ 3:08 “I only do baby dabs” 😂😂😄
🎉Baby dab🎉
Its cali, she might be talking about green.
@@eternalbeing3339 California isn't the only state where Marijuana exists. Did you know you can buy weed illegally and still reference it just like she did
it's rare to find a mechanic that DOESN'T smoke weed 😂
helps with my knee pain lol@@80rae
It's cool to see that a super model can have other career options. Well done Sandro.
😂🤣😂
The ol' switcheroo!
😂
Angelina: free knowledge
Sandro: free experience
Thanks for doing this again. I just love these two. They are perfect together. It's like having loving parents who teach you stuff together as a lesson but you don't feel belittled or shamed by your lack of knowledge. They are the best.
Love the fact that Angelina and Sandro are not being babysat by the Donut Media Crew. They need to have sole possession of the channel!!!
You mean you don't want one of the Donut members sitting next to them trying way to hard to be funny? Saying stuff like "Woah dude! Wrench on socket goes brrrr! That broken light is coming out of your check muh man" or for the starter fluid one saying "Woah nelly! Is that an engine or a fire breathing dragon? Ka-kaw!"
There are only like two people on the whole Donut crew that have screen chops and mechanical knowledge enough to sit on this channel and then they like never ever do lol you get just basic ass react content from the others.
I definitely need more episodes with just them hahah they’re naturally funny and knowledgeable
And they talk a bunch of nonsense now.
It's more that the show started with hosts people know, to introduce these guys... Now we know 'em and love em, they can back off and let it be. Needed the star power to get it kicked off!
One of my neighbors had an annoying sound coming from her engine. Turned out to be a bad bearing in the gearbox. When she was looking for a garage to get it fixed, there was this one technician who advised her to "Just ignore it, and keep driving until it really breaks down". Needless to say, she won't be asking him for anything ever again. When we found somebody with his own garage, he was cleaning his tools and storing them in the proper drawer, while talking to us. Now THAT's a tech you can trust with your car! She got a complete gearbox revision, and a new clutch at a good price, and while he was waiting for the gearbox to return (he doesn't do revisions himself) he fixed a few minor other issues on the car. A broken brake light, a few hoses for some low-pressure fluid. Things like that. She wanted to pay him for the work, but he denied, since he did it without calling her first.
He probably just added the parts costs to the gearbox repair but didn't charge for labor. My mechanic did that once. I did call me and ask if he could add the parts cost (was like $40) but there was no business that day and he was bored.
That's another mechanic to avoid, one without business out the door.
The fact that you just said "good price" instead of the actual dollar amount makes me question if it was a good deal.
@@HerecomestheCalaveraShe payed €1300,- for labor and parts. I said good price because it differs depending on where you live. In the Netherlands, anything from €1500,- to €2000,- is "normal" at most places.
Better? ;)
I love how the apparent Hallmark of a "good" mechanic is someone who can tear out a transmission and send it to someone else for fixing 😂
Angelina, @03:30 I experienced the same thing. I was on the highway going about 55 and my idler pully exploded from the bearing wearing out. Luckily I was able to roll into a parking lot with no power steering, ac, alternator, etc. Interestingly, there was no squealing leading up to it.
I've learned a bunch with my '05 Ram. Mainly that the previous owners did not love her.
All in all, you and Sandro are my favorites on he Real Mechanic Stuff channel. You are both super knowledgeable and hilarious.
Edit: @09:45 Angelina nailed it again. That is why I don't trust anybody to work on my vehicles. So many people have the mentality that every day is Friday afternoon and they don't give a flat fuck if your vehicle is taken care of. They just want a paycheck and to go home.
The last thing you mentioned is the mentality that 99.999999% of people have about any job and always have. It’s not a generational thing or something specific to mechanics. It’s capitalism. We exist to make money.
Bruh, same thing with my 08 2500
@@ouch1011 thing is, I don’t care if they forget the cheese on my burger at a drive thru. I do care if I leave a shop, get ten miles down the road and the engine seizes bc some genius forgot to tighten down the bolt for the oil pan.
@@jonahbush1945 super weird, eh? Luckily I have never let anybody fuck with my stuff, so one free tow from my insurance company and $23 later it was fixed. I cannot imagine how much a shop would have charged.
I also lost my alternator pulley in a 94 Celica, at night in a remote hilly wooded area looking for a planetarium for a Pink Floyd laser show.
First sign was the battery warning light, but teen me brushed it off as "worst case, I'll need a jump later and a new battery tomorrow. Gotta meet sister and cousin at the planetarium."
Next sign was my lights seemed inadequate and the wipers seemed slow (oh yeah, it was pouring rain too), so I turned on the high beams and fast wiper setting.
Then engine power was being affected. (injectors/plugs?) I didn't know what was happening, but I couldn't call my sister because my phone was dying and not adequately charging from the cig lighter adaptor.
Lol, that was an adventure.
Ofc that's the only thing that went wrong with that car (besides a drive axle which was my fault), being a 90s Toyota
These videos are getting a lot better, the graphics and drawings, I love it! All very informative
I have nothing to do with cars I live in the city and never needed a license, but I absolutely love the technical reactions and information about engines is fascinating, great job!
Angelina and Sandro dabbing together was exactly what I needed to finish my day
I feel I need a Baby Dab shirt
I also enjoy finishing off by watching Angelina 🤙
@@gianluccasimao I’ll buy that shit with them two on the front of it 😂
That moment was pretty dank
@@Shadow__133 she bad
The best duo on this channel. Straight videos, commentary, and learning. Bravo!!!! When's the race?!?!?!?!
I like the combination of Sandro and Angela, not always back-to-back, but both are necessary in a video. Sandro's ability to identify an issue in simple terms compliments Angela's ability to elaborate and explain them make for some peak content imo. Especially when the other guys are also around to offer their questions or (mis)understandings for the rest of the audience to understand. Peace and love.
You just can't get enough of these guys. They work so well.
I wanna see Sandro do some stuff for the boys and Angelina explaining how to do things the right way with some TIA energy. Love these videos
YES! @DonutMedia Please get these two working on a project on the regular channel.
When i was going to machining school we got to see a lot of the worst case scenarios when it comes to loose clothing, jewelry, and hair. After watching those videos we learned real quick to keep our sleeves rolled up, no dangling jewelry, and if you have long hair always keep it tied up as well as tucked down the collar of your shirt for the people with longer hair.
I heard a squeal years back on my 2016 Smart ForTwo. Think I'd only had it a year at that point. I was like "what the hell?" It sounded like it was belt related.... volume/rate of noise increased with higher RPM's. Scheduled an appointment with the dealer. On the way home that same day or the day after... the noise went away. I'm like "Ok.... could be a good sign.... still keeping that dealer appointment though".
Glad I did. When the dealership looked at the car, they found that apparently a small rock chip or a piece of cement or something somehow got lodged in the pully and completely ripped the belt in half width-wise. Was driving around with literally half a serpentine belt for a day or two til i could get there. Only time anything even remotely like that has happened to me in 21 years of driving.
This is my first time seeing these videos and I'm floored by Angelina's knowledge and ability to explain. I'm entertained AND impressed!
They still need to race. We haven’t forgot
That little Fiesta 10:20 is a 1.6 TDCI, a diesel.
Injectors in diesels have a cooper gasket at the bottom that when it leaks packs the tube they are in with a mix of combustion particulate (black stuff you see when a diesel is "rolling coal") and oil that when it hardens you get a really stuck injector.
These are definitely my favorite of the mechanics on personality and chemistry wise , but all the personalities that have been picked have been great , mostly knowledgeable and genuine
Both real honest mechanics but you can tell that Angelina is the teacher of the two haha and the world needs people like them both.
Keeping the car culture healthy on this one, I love it. Keep your old car if you can you're doing more for the environment and the economy than supporting fancy new cars especially EV's.
Both have their place but don't fool yourself like new cars are the answer when they are not.
To me it seems a case of if you are in the market for a new car it's a different matter but yeah, if the current car is meeting your needs there's no need to change it.
@@JamesF0790well there are so many ways to make an older car better now and you're supporting smaller jobs preserving cars that have less impact on the environment than mining precious metals for batteries too. Massive batteries that willl be trash or difficult to recycle after 10 years or so. It's a problem that people are ignoring along with the power grid. Electric and oil will always have to work together until we figure out hydrogen cells and renewable solar energy. Not the panels that get tossed all the time
Sandro saying to Angelina she's the best teacher in the world made me cry a little happy tear 😋 I love them both so much haha keep up the good videos !!
That first one with the jumper cables melting. That's from connecting the cables backward. I've seen that first-hand and am SUPER CAREFUL to not let that happen!!
When I was about 7, my dad accidentally connected jumpers backward between two cars. This was back when the cables were all black - no color coding. I was standing right next to the fender of the car he was jumping and the battery exploded about 3 feet from me, giving both my father and I acid baths. I remember him grabbing me, running to our pool, and jumping in to get that acid off us. No damage to either of us, but that was scary!! A solid lesson was learned that day!! Double and triple check to make sure you're polarities are correct!!
As for intervention - one needs a long piece of wood to knock one of the clamps off. Or a pair of bolt cutters to cut one of the cables. Don't grab the clamps (or obviously the cables...) barehanded - they'll be GLOWING HOT!! And don't approach the battery once the heating begins - that's when a hydrogen gas build-up and explosion is most likely. Also, in that particular clip, the odds are the clamps are already welded to the battery posts. If it was hot enough to melt the insulation, the clamps are probably one with the battery...
Damn, quick thinking for your dad for sure. Rushing to the pool probably saved you both some very unpleasant injury.
I didn't know jumper cables were ever _not_ two different colors, that's a mishap waiting to happen. Doesn't even need to be black and red, just different so you know which one's going to the +'s and which is going to the -'s.
Do you remember how much time passed between connecting the batteries and the explosion?
@@nthgth Back in the 1970's, jumper cables were black with uninsulated clamps to boot. You really had to pay attention to what you were doing!!
As for timeframe between connection and boom?? SECONDS. I remember hearing the sparks, my dad saying "back up!!", then BOOM!
Next thing I knew I was under his arm and we were swimming. The pool was about 100 ft from where this happened.
I absolutely love the dynamic between you two. You're both by far my favorite of this channel. Thanks
Sandro and Angelina have killer chemistry on camera, one of the best combinations both here and on Donut! Don't get me wrong all, the crew is great and hilarious but these two are so good at complimenting each other's style that its stands out when it comes to mechanical know how with a heavy dose of street smarts.
5:00 Reminds me of when my alternator died on my way home from work of an evening when I was younger. I got about 3/4 home then the lights cut out (Aftermarket HID kits in projector lights) so I opened the sunroof, grabbed a super bright LED torch I happened to have with me, and pointed it at the road in front of me, in order to get home.
Illegal? Yes, Understandable? I think so.
Had a spare alternator at home, so I swapped it, charged the batt, and was back in business for work the next day!
I had my alternator pulley come apart while more or less lost, meeting people at a planetarium at night in the rain.
Remote, hilly, wooded area. I didn't know what was happening with the charging system.
Lights got dimmer so I put on the high beams (all halogen so they never really went out).
Wipers slowed so I put on the fast speed.
Phone was dying so it was on the car charger.
Then, I guess fueling and ignition were getting tired because the car was losing a lot of power! Lol, finally found this church where they let me at least charge my phone and get a ride. (Next day, a tow).
Oh wow, That sounds like a MUCH closer call than mine was. How on earth does an alternator pulley come apart..?
Sandro and angelina should make there own TH-cam channel and go solo. They are single handedly carrying this channel. Hope to see more of them!
Damn I got so excited when I saw it was these two! Giving the people what they want! Sandro and Angelina are the best!
I love both of these experts.
The producers don’t need to write lines/ commentary for them. Their chemistry is great. Keep up the great work.
1 like for the double dabs
0:10
100% yes about the battery fire. To make a quick story, I was young, about 8 to 9yrs old, and went to a themepark. Saw two people trying to do something with their cars. A relative of mine said they were trying to jump the car. Welp, as we drove back, there was fire underneath the hood with someone getting an extinguisher. They started a battery fire.
I love the way Angelina explains everything from physics, chemistry, mechanics - she’s got it down!
Would be so cool to have DIY videos with these two. Like how to do the most common/simple repairs/maintenance on your car 🙌🏻
I know I’m not the first to say this, but this is a really good idea of having these two together and doing their own little skit together. It’s honestly perfect these two are definitely my favorite out of the group when it comes to the real mechanic stuff.
I remember when I was a kid, we had gone by a marina in our ski boat and had to get the 2nd battery charged, while we ate at its restaurant and swam in the pool, just as we were loading up they were supposed to bring the battery down, a huge explosion happened, it rocked everything around us. and we saw a guy come running out of the mechanics shop and jump into the water, while nasty-looking smoke was pouring out the door he just ran from. They had hooked up our battery wrong to the charger, and it exploded. We got a new battery out of it; the guy who hit the water was ok, other than some minor burns. It was an experience and a lesson in making sure you know what you're doing with such things before you try and do it.
The air gun dude around 6:30 wasn’t really trying to fix the gun. If you look again he is only just touching the wrench with his finger. He was recording himself see what happens if he flung the wrench with the gun. He did that on purpose.
Alcantara + Sandro is the dream team. Angelina is a great teacher and Sandro is great for the boys 🙏
Love any content donut, but these 2 with their knowledge and explanations of how things work or can go wrong is reeeeeeally helpful. Not to mention the dope energy they bring
honestly this video is the best so far having the two mechanics together gives off the best result
This was a really good episode! Thank you, guys! Angelina, your expertise and knowledge, and your our ability to articulate is so impressive!
Angelina . In the last clip the guy started the engine supplying all the current through these cables. That's why there were so many sparks. This way, what he did had to touch both positive terminals on the selenoid. I really like your videos :)
Angelina bringing the facts! I absolutely love the animations you guys put with her descriptions. Super educational and entertaining.
These two are great. Both are humble and admit when they have had something like the video clip happen to them. They are Perfect. Thank you for this.
Hi Angelina & Sandro, I love this stuff. If there was an official licenced DVD of these episodes where you guys comment I’d buy it as a gift to someone. Theres wittyness, safety & nitty gritty car repairs all in one. Greetings from Australia.
Love Angelina and Sandro. Glad they are just the people who do these now. Instant watch. Love when they get goofy.
Loving the dynamic between these two!
Love love LOVE that they're legit hosting videos now!! So much yes!!
These two give great advice. Love these two.
These two are so good together
i love these two have become regulars and even hosts! they are absolutely wonderful! complement each other so damn well lol
There will never be enough content with these two together. Keep em coming please
Angelina & Sandro!!! My favs back at it again
Awesome to see them interacting with each other.
Love these two legends as a mechanic myself I find them hilarious and relatable also like they’re educating people at the same time great show guys keep it up
This girl is smart, All the episodes she’s been in are on point! I bet she’s a great teacher. Bless her
I love everything with Angelina and Sandro they're so great
Angelina and Sandro are the dynamic duo
Correct formula. Keep these guys together.
I appreciate angelinas ability to relay information. and i love sandros humor they flow really well
The both of you are great. So much knowledge.
Awsome episode as always! Love every episode with Sandro and Angelina
My 2 favourite mechanics reviewing videos. Absolute gold
This is the best. I'm not a mechanic but both of you break it down so well. Keep it up👊
The beeeest chemistry. please more of these two!
Angelina and Sandro make great host for this… keep up the great work!
I'm loving the new show format!! Keep it up!
I'll never get tired of this duo 😄❤
This pair just works so well. 8:24 is just so goofy I love it. Keep these two coming back RMS!
I just love how eloquent Angelina is in explaining everything and Sandro is “ooga booga” explanation but still get it done
I love this duo so much
Love these 2! They are great together!
"That's stupid" imidiantly followed by "i've done that" was perfect . Never change dude XD
I love this duo so much. Best hosts on the tube!
These are the two people for this channel. They're both awesome and play off each other so well. Angelina seems like an awesome instructor to have; clear concise explanations and happy to explain it fully. And I wish my eye makeup always looked that good, shit.
Perfect pairing. My two favorite guests. Looks like they’re leading this one. Love to see it.
just give these two the channel damn i love them
I love these two! I could hang out with them all day.
