Angelina: a professional who is chill
Sandro: chill to a professional level
yessssssss
Sandro is always a real one, admitting to all kind of mistakes. Always cracks me up when they ask him what's the most botched thing he's seen, and it's something he did 😂. Super humble
Honestly, screwing something up yourself is oftentimes the best way to learn. Especially when you have to go back and fix it.
Love an honest mechanic. They’re not as rare as people think either. Sandro is a G for real tho
His piercings scare me...
Every mechanic has botched something. If they claim otherwise, move on.
Learn by doing👍
Nothing raised my respect for Angelina more than her willingness to also play with toy cars on camera, and make the noises. Respect.
Fun fact. The instrument nurse at the operating theater counts every single thing that is used during the operation before and after to make sure nothing gets left inside the patient. And if shit still happens even the bandages used at the theater have a metal string that lights up on an x-ray, so it is easy to check.
It's not supposed to happen, but it does
I know nothing about medical procedures, but I was thinking that a system like you described would be useful. I'm glad it exists. But I'm sure its not foolproof either.
@@grantflippin7808 It's not supposed to happen and it does BUT it is quite rare considering the vast number they are performed each day. With those numbers (globally some 300++ million MAJOR surgeries each year so smaller are not even included in that number), we can easily say they are a non-issue. If someone fears that, i don't know how they can deal with the more common causes of death like just being at home!
Sandro and Angelina need to be permanent panelists on Donut. They are hilarious and have what I call the “fun” knowledge of their craft
Brah yessss
They are best guests! They have real jobs though lol they actually work everyday probably
@@MostHighEmperorPalpatine I more meant that have them be the two mainstay panelists and have other guests that rotate out. Like some panel game shows do with “team captains”. But yeah I’m sure they’re hella busy
Totally agree.
I petition this for all Donut Media Fans! Let's goooo!!!
These two are my favourites by far. I could just watch them talk about cars all day.
Was about to say! Love these mechanics 🛠
Same
Yeah, for sure, these two are the best❤
Angelina is kinda dumb. Sandro is the best.
Talking cars. I call that "bench racing". Lol.
Yooo that last clip was mine 🤣 btw, the air filter was already split - that’s how bad of condition it was in, and the customer denied the replacement. Bedazzled CLA250 came in for a brake inspection because the fronts were completely gone, almost ate all the way through the pads. Also had 4 bald tires, brake fluid was essentially rusty metal, among other things, all of which were denied other than the brakes because she had none… hence my frustration with this one lol
Too bad she doesn't live in Pennsylvania. She would have to replace the bald tires and worn pads to pass state inspection. Big fines for getting caught with expired inspection stickers.
She ain't buying shit...
The filter isn't dirty, so the last mechanic and/or you split it on purpose to make another $40? No wonder she doesn't want to pay lol.
Could be worse. The last "expert" franchise mechanic I went to crossthreaded a few of my lug nuts as a present, after hearing that I didn't want a $1600 set of tires in order to finish the oil change I asked them for.
@@capsulate8642 lol it definitely was dirty, but that’s besides the point. But properly checking an air filter means taking it out and checking the actual FILTERING side where air is flowing in. Even if the engine side of the filter looks clean, doesn’t mean the other side isn’t dirty or clogged. But in this case, I didn’t tear the filter. It was so degraded already that it was already torn, and it came out in two pieces while attempting to remove the filter to check it. Most techs, including me, get paid flat rate. That would be, at most, probably 0.2 hrs. Not even $5 I’d get paid. So no, it wouldn’t even be worth ripping the filter in half myself to try to sell her a filter. Regardless, if the filter is torn like that, there’s a good chance of large particulates getting right through that opening and the filter is deemed useless.
@@capsulate8642
@capsulate8642
Key phrase there was "franchise mechanic". There is no one in that whole business with skin in the game. Probably just an underpaid mechanic is a foreman. Mechanics probably get a commission on new work they ""invent". Go to "Cars and Coffee" and ask around. These are people who love their cars and know good mechanics.
Angelina, " Oh that finger wound is not that bad!" Also Angelina, "Sees skin hanging gags." XD Her and Sandro are the best. Sandro is just smiling and nodding affirming yes he has made mistakes.
@mrbushi1062
@mrbushi1062
Angelina just loves life and is a well-trained expert in what she does. She gives the best technical explanations. The guys are great too. Yes, keep this panel together. Now that I've found this channel, I never miss a video.
sandro and angelina are awesome. this is such a great series..
Whenever I see one of them in a thumbnail, I know it's gonna be a banger!
And the older mechanic too but I forgot his name
Yeah I just absolutely love those two
Angelina's pretty Hot for a trans woman
Sandro had me laughing at “well I’m metal, I got you “ lol hilarious.
Sandro was a little impressed with that rotor 😂
Very I’d say😂the oil pan job too in a way reminds me of a Foxbody where you gotta drop the cross member and a few other goodies to get to it like hey fuck it we don’t need FRAME OR ENGINE MOUNTS
I heard Sandro and Angelina are getting their own show on the Real Mechanic Stuff channel. Cant wait!!!
Angelina and Sandro are great TH-cam personalities! I am happy to see them with the Donut Crew!
That rag is for extra filtration, so be sure to replace it with a clean rag before reassembly.
You sir, are living up to your name. Well played. ;-)
We call that a “pre filter”
Conventional or synthetic rag?
@@dotar9586 yes
@@dotar9586 polyester blend
I find Sandro's unvarnished, brutal honesty so refreshing. "They're lucky that shit didn't fly off."
@@Yewtewba Your pedantry is noted. Are you a professional Well Actually, or is this just a hobby for you?
What's the strangest thing youve seen left behind?
tools... -_-
I left tools... :/
So, tools... :D
@@YewtewbaOP was correct, 15:34.
13:55 buddy was so flabbergasted that his pupils started malfunctioning
Some scary shit. Probably those dialating eyedrops you get when checking your vision... Or braintrauma lol
I saw that as well, I hope he got it checked out because that is scary
probably a fake eye, they just made the pupil way too large lol
We know which side homie does his booger sugar from xD
Probably has Anisocoria, it's an eye condition that results in different sized pupils. It can be a benign condition with no real cause, or resulting from an underlying medical problem, or caused by injury or trauma.
I only really know about it because my mum has the simple or benign version of it, her only issue is from it is light sensitivity in that eye. Fun fact David Bowie was often thought of as having different colored eyes, but actually had aniscoria too, in his case caused from trauma from a fight he was in when he was in his teens or early 20's.
Sandro and Angelina are my two favorite guests of this channel!
We also see both sides of how to learn to be a mechanic. Sandro learned by doing it since he was born. While Angelina may have wrenched on cars her whole life, she obviously went to a professional school somewhere along the way. Here technical knowledge is amazing. Both are expert.
show idea: you guys get a viewer to bring in their build and the mechanics go through their builds. i feel like it could be a really entertaining watch.
thats a brilliant idea
Pimp your ride. Bring in your beater leave lookin like a cheater.
Will it be like a roast or toast judging style?
The amount of “I love what you did” with them not knowing what’s holding it together 😂
yessssssssssssssssssssss
I love how everyone has rallied around Angelina and Sandro as the people's champions and the guys at donut don't disappoint because I love them too
Don't forget Paul he's cool too
Paul reminds me a lot of my own father! I'm sure that's the same for many others as well with mechanic dads.
15:16 actually the 4wd bearing needs the shaft to tighten the nut and bearings. you can see the 4wd hub splines in the video. The 2wd hubs are pre loaded already, You can also see that the 4wd hub used a pair of tapered roller bearings, which are in fact supposed to use the splined shaft for preload.
I like to see Angelina on these videos because she's great at explaining things we might not know. She's probably a fantastic teacher!
Angelina and Sandro are definitely my favorites, but I’m a little sad a third guy didn’t make it today! The Lexus/Toyota guy was really cool.
Lexus/Toyota guy?
You mean Scotty Kilmer?
@@aztecducky Paul, the bald guy?
sandro is so funny. such a cool guy
Funny looking
@@jamesweir139 no he isn't
He is funny looking, but in a good way
Fuck yeah seems like a mechanic that won’t do you dirty ya know
FOR THE BOYS
I wish Angelina was my teacher
I’m so glad I grew up with a dad who’s a master mechanic. Always kept my piece of shits on the road, and taught me how not to get screwed by shotty mechanics
The immediate Tommy Boy reference is just another reason why you guys are awesome.
Tommy Boy reference at 2:40
If I could like this reply more than once I would. Awesome!!!!
@Gabriel Paddock
Tnx
shook to my very core that they quoted Tommy Boy
I’ll tell you what, you can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bull’s ass, but I’d rather take the butcher’s word for it.
This channel is so much fun, and a good little bit of enjoyable education for a backyard mechanic. Keep up the good work
Lol backyard mechanic.
@@icepick859 like some of our parents
I recently had to deal with a snowmobile (2 stroke) where a guy rebuilt the engine completely but didn't replace a $1.50 rubber oil supply line. Lets say it rotted off and caused a catastrophic failure. If you are that far in an engine, please replace rubber lines. It is cheap compared to having to rebuild it again!
This is such a great channel. Angelina's awesome, I've seen her on other videos. She should be on more regularly. And Sandro is the kind of guy you know you can trust with your ride.
There’s nobody left in the US nowadays worthy of the title of mechanic. I’ve been in parts of the world where mechanics would be able to fabricate, recondition and repair pretty much everything on a vehicle without really needing any fancy spare parts from AutoZone.
Angelina, Sandro, and Paul have to be my favorite guests you've brought on so far (Including the other style videos on the main channel)
Sandro is so chill. Cool dude
So happy for everyone's success all around, including the mechanics who should be rewarded handsomely for adding a lot of new perspective to the channel
Your back and forth is hilarious in this video! Love the work everyone puts in to produce these vids. Thanks!
It's impressive you guys manage to find real experts who are also great on camera
"experts" should be used VERY loosely. They show in many ways that they really dont know much anything and are VERY green.
Angelina is lovely. Her face when she smiles just make you feel happy.
Couldn’t have said it better.
And she is cute
Her laugh is fantastic.
She has an awesome smile
Especially when she cracks up after dude lost his skin 😂
Your contact is amazing it's a lot of fun watching Santos and Angelina's reactions to these so-called repairs
I know very little about car repair, but I've recently discovered these videos and have been enjoying them. Nice work!
Please never stop this series and make Angelina and Sandro permanent fixtures!!!!! They’re awesome
when i see sandro i hit the like button. like the guys got a good vibe
This reminds me of a golfcart we have at work. Kenny has eaten: an extension cable, a wallet and all the cards inside, 2 xlr cables in seperate instances, and a phone that miraculously made it through due to its thick rubber 30 dollar case.
Love you guys, totally impressed. Showing my son tonight Mechanics I in high school. El estilo estupendo.
Aside from all the laughs, you guys have literally taught me so much and I can’t thank you enough
Please keep uploading to this channel! These videos fill the gap between donut uploads and it's great.
The mechanics you guys bring on are amazing. I would love to learn from all of them. Also, I have lost more skin off my hands working on tanks in the Army... I felt that clip.
Angelina and Sandro are Literally the reason I watch these mechanics reacts vids.
I've worked on cars especially on my Jeeps but I am a Tattooist not someone who normally watches car repair videos but these two are 🔥
I know nothing about cars at all but I enjoy this channel because they actually explain things instead of just reacting they explain whats happening and how to fix it. Great channel
That's ok these guys don't either
Anything with Sandro and Angelina, I know I'm learning something. They're fantastic.
As far as finding a good mechanic goes, I've noticed the more "reputable places", the big brand garages are the worst, dealership garages are the absolute worst, I've had one dealership try to scam me into buying a 1,500$ exhaust for absolutely no reason.
Then there are the small garages, there's one that looked up a cheap differential for me, bought it, swapped it for me, and charged me almost no extra, to the point where I wonder if they even made a profit.
When I got to the "verify you have the right parts" section, I remembered a story from one of my instructors while I was in college. They were working on a rear wheel drive customer vehicle and it was in need of a new knuckle. They had looked up the part and everything seemed right so they ordered it. Knuckle arrived and everything fit on, but no matter what they did, alignment was always off. Turns out the car was also available in AWD as well, and the two knuckles were very similar.
They never told us what car it was so we could keep an eye out for that specific one, but it still gave us enough to go on since everyone likes getting work done right the first time rather than a second or third time. Closest I got to that was a Toyota Tacoma prerunner that needed a sway bar end link and may or may not have needed lower ball joints, I cannot remember too well (while in the same college). If I remember right, the service information said to verify what knuckle we had if it was either over or under a certain month of production as they had simplified production to always use the 4WD knuckles on the front even on RWD only models and this one had exactly that.
note: Found the RO from the college program before I sent this, I had saved. It was lower ball joints and a sway bar end linkage (bolt had come loose and hammered the threads flat so you couldn't tighten it back on) sway bar was the last thing we were able to figure out. "clicking from dashboard on passenger side of vehicle" we couldn't replicate it while driving, but managed to replicate it in the shop when one of the other students leaned on the car and we heard the click while standing in front of it and started bouncing the car to find the source. Although my family is a GM family, that Tacoma felt pretty nice to drive.
I'm an aircraft mechanic and I am HOOKED on this new channel. I may work on turbine engines but this shit is still so relatable and funny. Plus I actually end up learning things. PLEASE keep this channel going!
i feel like there’s some overlap between aircraft mechanics and automotive mechanics
@@misseselise3864 yeah, the turbines on cars are just a leeetle smaller😂😂😂😂
@@misseselise3864 I figure there's more overlap with a boat mechanic.
@@bryancline8893 There is a good amount of overlap between marine and aviation. Both need to be sealed everywhere, both run on higher rpms with less focus on torque. The main difference in aviation though is that their engines are specifically made for aviation. While boat engines started off as more truck engines modified to marine use. Without the same challenges as aircraft, marine has stayed closer to trucks while aviation had to overcome things like getting cold at higher altitude, less oxygen up there, the chance of rolling and flipping over entirely.
@@Samuri5hit84 Wel until you get to the super large marine diesels. Those things are just weird, (in a good way).
The problem with that wheel bearing isn’t clearance it would fit the hub no matter what. The problem is that there’s no axle or stub to hold the thing together it was basically holding on with the seals and a whole lot of luck haha.
Thought I was the only one
Exactly, she was going on about heat and clearance and I was thinking, theres was nothing to holding it together.
@@ethanskinner2205 same
I love Sandro's quick answers after the chat, he's on top of the job 100% no matter what, hes done it already 100 times 😂, and Angelina has that deep book knowledge, probably a wicked diagnostic tech over all, not missing a thing, big props to that
My gf works with car inspection and today she had a car roll in with one of the control arms SAWED OFF! Her coworker got a car in where the owner said "I hit a curb yesterday and it sounded a bit weird or whatever". 90% of her right front tire was missing (rolled in on the rim), and the tire had just smashed the inside of the wheel well and a bit of the bumper too. She didn't understand why her car didn't pass inspection and didn't think it was a big deal....
This channel is so good, I’d love to see some of the mechanics from this channel appear on Donut for a video 🤙
They all started with a series of vids on Donut. You can find them there.
@@bigduginc I know, but I’d like to see them come back for one of those guess the price videos, or for a engine breakdown video.
Educational and enjoyable!! Angelina’s and Sandro’s contributions and reactions take it to the next level. Keep it up!
Replaced the plenum gasket on my 97 ram 1500. A year later I swapped the motor, and when I took the intake off, found a rag I had placed over the spider bracket to prevent debris falling to the cam.
Sandro looks like a fun guy to work on cars with fr.
Easy like for the Tommy Boy reference. Loved the way they were able to play off each other like that on the spot. Angelina is the GOAT and super easy on the eyes.
I've been turning wrenches on cars (not as employment) for about 45 years and this channel by far is so awesome. It's truly amazing some of the stupid Chit some people do🤣. Keep this awesome content coming, all of us gear heads love it👊
I do 90% of my own repairs, and 100% of my own 'daily' maintenance.
right now, im fixing all the 'make it look pretty' repairs the dealership did to the 2014 4runner i bought last year.
To include a Bondo repair on the oil pan, a bondo repair to the leaky master cylinder, bondo on the main brakeline.
Four rotors that were clearly just polished to look new, and 4 new calipers that had been WELDED to the mounts.
Had to re-thread just about every bolt hole i needed to put a bolt in.
My neighbor is a retired mechanic, and one of the best compliments he can give is 'id put you to work in my shop' when it comes to owner repairs on cars.
Hes said it to me a few times.
Next challenge is going to be finding someone to rebuild my transmission and rear-diff.
@@dreamwolf7302 The struggle is real 👊 working on my 99 Dodge 1500 4x4 right now, New SS brake lines then moving on to rebuild of the steering gearbox. But it's not really work if you enjoy doing it 😁
@@patrickdiehl6813 Oof, i know the Ram Struggle my guy, my last truck was a 2014 Ram 1500 Crew.
My Electronic Control Module managed to short out in a way that didnt blow the fuse, but rather welded it into place.
All my pumps, my regulators, etc, either seized up, or burned out.
I had the option of spending almost 20k to fix a truck worth less than 10k, or trading it in.
Got my 4Runner, and while im not pleased with the dealership for covering the defects, none of them are so severe i cant fix them with a bit of elbow grease, and youtube.
This channel is such a vibe I love it
Good hosts. Mechanics are the best I've seen so far.
I love that you guys use animations whenever things are explained. Thank you! :)
little correction for the 4wd bearing on a 2wd car: bearings with a transmission going through them usually need the bolt from that transmission to hold the outside half to the inside one. so in this case, even with correct size, the side that you wrench or press mount will hold, but the outside part wont be hold by anything and just be teared away by the wheel
Thank you sir. I am not even a journeyman wrencher but I thought I heard Eric O. mention that some wheel bearings are held together by the axel.
You see it when people remove a broken cv to get home and the bearing collapses on the way
Your PSA about being careful reminds me of the time I was swapping out the front lenses on my Toyota Solara. Sometime during the process, I noticed some weird back pain, it ended up being two hyenated disc in my lower back from bending over the car and crawling in under it. I don’t know of any machine operator, Mechanic, or other skilled workers in physical labor intensive jobs that don’t have back problems, it comes with the territory.
They mentioned tools left in an engine. I used to work weapons systems on F4s and F15s back in the 1970s and 1980s. We had to inventory our tools after every job on an airplane. Yeah, I know military discipline is a bit different from civilian, but to this day, I ALWAYS make sure I don't leave them lying around.
Thanks for your service !
9:46 basically did that to my arm in a jobsite with a low hanging threaded rod
A year or two ago I took my 1998 Dodge Dakota to a shop a block or two from my house to get my power steering leak repaired, I ended up coming back to them 3 different times for a fix that should've taken one time. they did not deliver and I finally got around to getting my power steering repaired a month ago at a different more reputable shop and it was a automatic fix! I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING YET! and I work pizza delivery daily driving my truck for work so I know the fix was good! the first shop couldnt give me a straight answer on what was wrong with it so I automatically should've taken it elsewhere! the second one automatically found and solved the problem and let me know what it was!
What was the problem? it was the Rack and pinion.. Glad I found these new guys!
0:42 1:43 (and all the others) Thank you. I know enough about automobiles to let a certified mechanic perform all the work on my automobile. I do enjoy learning how the world works, and want to be more knowledgeable. I appreciate the explanations.
i absolutely *love* Angelina and Sandro and they add so much to this series! Keep bringing them back for more please!!
Their is a socket set to remove stripped lug nuts and they work well for most wheel lug locks to remove them when you lost the lug key.
Yep they are basically socket versions of an e-z out. Reverse thread on the inside.
They work on the collared lock nuts too, as long as you can get the collar off first.
Ya, i forget if they were the best on @project farm
Priceless content he does! 😃
2:40 I love the Tommy Bpy reference 😂 wasn't ready for it, and rarely hear it 🤣
We love and miss you Chris Farley ❤
James and Angelina got me with the Tommy Boy reference 😂 😂 😂
Sandro is such an OG it would be cool to just hang with the dude. He's one of the boys.
2:40 Tommy boy love it😂😂😂😂
I bought a used 2012 Malibu with just over 100,000 miles.seemed fine.test drive went well.until I needed to change the oil and realized one of the transmission mounts was made out of a scrap 2x4.. didn't feel safe after that but replaced it with a factory original and I still drive it. Love donut you guys are awesome 👍
I really like this channel. Thanks and keep it up, so many giggles and laughs 😊
This series is something I look most forward to on TH-cam.
This is a great show by Donut but Angelina and Sandro really make it.
Doing it for the boys.
Yeah, absolutely loving this channel. Been a donut fan for years and this side channel is fire 🔥
9:35 I felt that clip in my very soul. I've got a scar on my thumb from from when I cut it changing my oil filter. It was right on the knuckle too, so it hurt and stayed scabbed over for like 3 months.
This channel is off the chart entertaining! Love Angelina and Sandro's reactions and commentaries. This was the channel that finally pushed me to get a membership in the Donut Underground. Great work, y'all! 💯🔥😁
Such a great series. it's great to see the professionals point of view on a lot of these situations and of course the donut crew
Love that mechanic/teacher !! Please more of her!!!!
2:35
Love the Tommy Boy reference and how it took me the second time of watching this episode to realise, the desktop demo scene. 😂
I love how you guys made this channel keep it up, but we need a lot more videos. I know it’s not easy to make them but I do appreciate them when they do come out so thank you. 🙏
I always enjoy these episodes! And the guests are quite smart.
My ultimate hack find was bought a 55 ford truck cheap in the way back from old farmer, had a miss, but ran good. In the checking out problem, one cylinder no compression. Pulled head, whole piston assembly gone, and a fence post peice pressed into hole. I put back together drove for a couple years, and resold...
Yall killed me at 9:45 ish. replaced my brake rotors yesterdays and as i was breaking the caliper bolts i knuckled busted tf outta my driveway 😂
I love the dynamic these guys all have with each other, good content
7:55 Cross Pressure Tightening is actually something I have learned from the PC world ! (Threadripper to be more specific) and 2 years ago now on my little brother's BMW M30 when he was having deep dish wheel problems I actually suggested "hey they suggest this in the PC world so you should actually try Tightening them in a Cross Pattern Style"
But I will also say the past year or so of working on my car, If I were being super honest its fairly easy to forget when you want to get that wheel off and back on again and get back to working on other things !
The friggen Tommy Boy reference lmaoooo ohh mahh gawdd
Go get them Callahan brake pads😂
These two are awesome! I love watching their reactions to mechanical mayhem! It's awesome.
Glad you started this channel, and series!
This is my favorite segment on the tubes. Angelina and Sandro are awesome, keep em' coming!
Ice Cream Cone: $2.00
New Car Down Payment: $8,000
9:33 Ms. A's face when James said "It is possible to botch yourself": Priceless
Mastercard: Make Life More Priceless
I just last weekend pay a tire shop to install large off road tires on my truck. I bought before hand a reputable set of hubcentric wheel spacers that would require them to cut 1/4 inch off the oem wheel studs, but instead cutting they punched in the studs. Of course they also did not tighten the studs, so the wheels were just dangling in the wind.
That last clip was spot on. I've found this message on several pieces of hvac equipment. Cheers to the mechanics looking out for the next guy!
See thru brake lines are great! You can tell right away if they’re bled properly 😂
Then try glass tubing at least. 🤣
It's a "fake" video, in that they did it on purpose and then put it on line as if it was a real mistake 😂
9:40 similar thing happened to my dad a couple years back, he was tightening (or untightening?) upwards and top of his fingers (between knuckles) hit the metal like that so hard that it actually was so painful he was trying to walk it off for like 20 minutes.
These pros are so awesome. Such great content.
If i saw a secret note from a tech stashed away like that, i would basically have the same reaction.
I love watching you, good advice and fun reactions.
A torque wrench by the way is much cheaper than losing your wheel in a curve.
I learned that lesson the hard way as a dumbass young 20 year old.
@@adafrost6276 I made some bad decisions too.
