When a mechanic has to call a tow truck..

- My friend Gavin was on his a way to a fishing trip when his tire exploded and left him stranded in the wilderness far from phone service or any help. He finally got a ride to the nearest town and called me to get his car. So I took my sneaker tow truck up and got it loaded on the Collins Dollies for the trip back home

On today's episode of, Casey can't figure out technology.... YES, the sound sucks, and I'm very well aware of it. I've never owned an actual camera before and I'm still trying to figure out how to use it. This camera has actual "settings" that have to be adjusted depending on the environment and the use of external microphones, which I was using in this video. Unfortunately I'm still trying to figure out how to use the settings and completely screwed them up in this video. Remember, I never said I was good at this...
It's all good Casey, I like the real life stuff. Have a good day man!
Eh we can just tow the haters cars and hide them somewhere in town.
If you're trying to fix the sound pick up an Edutige ETM-001 mic. It's tiny and will plug right into your camera. Buy the small dead cat for it and wind will never be an issue. It's a phenomenal omnidirectional mic which I've used for a few years. Take a gawk at the Haunted Church video on my channel for examples of it, or check reviews of it.
The microphone was perfect and the background noise wasn’t that bad. Maybe next time add a growling bear and some action of you running around the car.
Odd, because I didn’t notice any real issues with sound compared to other videos that I have watched on various channels. I was able to hear all the spoken words clearly.
Wow, I had no idea that some cars come without a spare tire. Gavin should take the shredded tire and the can of fix a flat to the dealer and ask how to use it. LOL
I love your new cars do not come with a spare tire they charge you extra for
@@jerryb1234 It exploded! I'll bet you never had an actual blowout. I have, and there is not much left on the rim. (to be honest, I thought the same until I heard that it was a blowout, which is a completely different thing from a leak)
@@jarrythskeen8336 My 2022 Subaru Forester comes with a full size spare and a matching rim. And it even has a TPMS sensor.
@@AlaskaErik nice. Have a 2014 Dodge it's got a full size spare tire but I also use it as a work truck. I just know that some of these new smaller cars they charge you an extra like 50 bucks for the donut tire sold separately
I agree, totally! They should include a roadside assistance program at no charge.
Casey those real world sounds are what gives your videos their authenticity. Viewers who complain should go elsewhere.
Do your thing all your conversation on this video was just fine. You will figure out the new equipment in due time.👍🇺🇸
Talk about a true professional mechanic. Gavin is so good that he was able to "fix" it so you'd post a video of a grown man playing with dollies.
LOL
Haha I'm surprised Gavin didn't expand into situation more...
Gavin's friend Matt flew out here from Pennsylvania so Gavin took the week off and that fishing trip was supposed to be the highlight of their vacation! Bummer!
Really glad that blow out didn't turn into him wrecking the car or worse!
Thanks for saving the Elite Fleet crew once again Casey, love ya man!
As a soon to be CO residents we will be checking out Elite Fleet as our new wrench team!
Our Chevy Cruz had the same flat and we are elderly, stuck us in the Mountains 75 miles from home, no cell service, did not know we didn't have a spare!!! Next time we are calling Casey!!!!
Thanks for taking us along, all the best to you and your loved ones
Like the looks of the hot rod in his garage
i love those dollies, i need to find some fer my wrecker
Thanks Casey. ✌🏻
Cheers Casey.
Best part was watching you wait for traffic to go by!
Casey, The dolly bar seen at 2:10 is visibly bent in the middle.
My 2011 eco cruze I bought recently also did not originally come with a spare, though I have since corrected that. Its a weight savings thing.
(Before you guys judge, its a 3 pedal car and my commuter)
The bar has a camber built into it so that the dollies sit vertical when weight is placed on them
Glad you thought of Riley. Get time with her!
That dolley system is a whole game changer!! ✌🐢
Cool, playing with daughter the best part. Good on you.
same here in the UK .. most cars don't come with a spare .. however in certain ( smarter ) countries a spare is a legal requirement , so there is always space for a spare ( once you remove the stupid foam insert , can of tyre/tire fixer & 12v compressor )
Thanks Casey, you make our day!
Utterly ridiculous! To spend 32K + for a vehicle that doesn't come with a spare, even a donut! That's a terrible way find that out.. So thankful it ended safely and well, many die each year because of circumstances surrounding a flat tire. Great video of beautiful country. Stay safe and GOD bless
Well done Casey! I can’t believe Gavin the mechanic wouldn’t pop the bonnet and boot to look at what he getting! Mind I drive interstate on my own. I need to know. Too funny. ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸
That is a great drive. Glad Riley gets some extra dad time. 🇦🇺
Awwww ... I wanted to see you pick up Riley ... and go do father stuff ..
Ended the video way too soon !!!
You are a good guy and more than a Great Dad !
I seen you do that tail tuck on another video and I started trying and iv never had a tail come loose since. Has saved me some straps thanks for the tip
My Cobalt came with the same no spare, no jack configuration. My first accessory was a trip to the junk yard to procure those items. I'm not going to drive across WY without a spare! If I *HAD* AAA, it would be a 3 hour wait for them to reach me.
Windshield does definitely look better. What your gauges were is where I keep in my GPS so I feel you on that problem
Just another day in the neighborhood thanks for bringing us Casey
Great video, Casey. Best part was you getting on Gavin, good clean fun. Big mistake on Toyota's part.
Great recovery for a friend nothing like having friends that do like work
Looks like a can of "Super Heavy Duty Fix-a-Flat" would have been nice to to have on hand in order to deal with the flat tire without bothering Casey! 😊
That is a slick set up for towing...never seen one...good info..great channel
Luckily, I have 2 older Prius', which at least have the mini spares. Can't beat the GAS mileage (50 mpg), especially now that prices are so high. 😅
I am in the process of designing a tow truck currently, its so fun seeing them in action.
I deal with so many vehicles that don’t come with spare tires. It’s so annoying! Customers are usually really pissed off. One customer told me his car came with a jack and tools to change the spare but didn’t come with a spare. 🤦♂️ I always tell my customers to go to the local salvage yard and buy a spare with the tool kit.
The ease you put your round peg into a square hole never stops amazing me. 🙂
I always either buy an extra spare or use one wheel of the other set as a spare (In my climate I have a separate set for winter snow use and another for summer). Can gets you only so far, even a rather small tear and you're out of luck.
My daughter's ex boyfriend had a dodge challenger and he's showing me it. And he opens the trunk. And im looking and same scenario there's a can of fix a flat and a small 12v compressor. Im like lift the carpet there's no spare. He's like no, they only come with the fix a flat and compressor. Im scratching my head like wtf that's not going to help in anyway. I wander how much manufacturers saved by skimping out on the spare? Great video!
A Stellantis product stranded me and three others in the middle of the Wallowas. The owners had no concept of tire wear and it was down to nothing, and speeding on rough gravel ended the tire. No spare led to 6+ hours of calling, waiting, and relying on others to get the job done. Not cool at all.
Recently discovered this "oddity " recently when I rented a car. It had a tank to put air in the tire but no spare tire. Weird!
Walking 26 in the middle of the night knowing that the sasquatch is in that area would not make me feel comfortable. Let alone all the speeding drivers. Glad everyone is safe. No spare tire? WTH? And a ruined Sturgeon fishing trip, not the best of nights.
Sasquatch? Really? 🤦🏻♂️ SMH
@@RoadTripRuss Oh yea they are here.
Absolutely ! OHIO DNR finally "officially" admitted they exist ( last year ? ) but most State Officials still use bears as an excuse for sightings. That's only the tip of the iceberg of things the sheeple & citizens are being lied to about.
Just spent last week out your way from MI, went from Portland, to Mt Hood Sherwood campground, Lapine state park, Prospect, Florence, Tillamook, back to Portland. At least with AT&T, a ton of that area between Govt Camp and Mt Hood is a giant cell signal wasteland lol. Pretty much anywhere 5+ miles outside of a town was a minimal to no-signal area for us.
Yeah there is very little service up in that area!
Great video, at least he was on a side road rather than the side of the main rd., Thats great country where he broke down
Gotta love traffic going by lol My jeep didn't come with a spare tired, but an air compressor.
Thanks for the video
Great video, so organized also nice to see that when you drop off the car, you have a truck that can drive away like a sedan. Cheers.
Another entertaining video. Thanks again.
Good chicken and a milk shake. Now I’m hungry!!!
I like how you tuck in your tail your straps I've been doing that for many years
Goooood morning Casey!
The Chevron with the "good chicken". Which one is that? We always eat at Black Bear Diner when passing through Madras, but might want something quicker some time :)
My Honda hybrid is the same, came with a plug-in compressor and a can of fix-a-flat. They do that for the weight savings to maximize fuel economy. I still don't have a spare but I did add a jack and lug wrench.
I recently saw a video from a tire repair guy who hates fix-a-flat and numerous other similar workers agreed in replies. Some said they would never work on a tire that had it applied. Pretty much a guarantee that you will buy a new tire apparently.
@@JohnHallgren Agreed. I've never had to use my fix-a-flat and I consider it emergency use only. But if I had a puncture at midnight in the middle of nowhere, I would definitely use it to get home or to the nearest town. Replacing a tire in that instance is likely cheaper than paying for a tow. Of course having a spare is best.
@@clupus63 in my case, I have AAA Plus so 100 miles towing are included. Other roadside assistance services may have similar tow benefits.
@@clupus63 Isn't Fix a flat flammable and renders a tire useless once used? I've had tire repair mechanics tell me they won't work on a tire once fix a flat is used on it. Better make sure you don't intend to use the tire again if it even works.
@@coachwendy5618 Some of the Original inflate-a-tire products DID use a gas that could be flammable , but i think by now all of the Brand Names use a safe gas. No guarantee on Cheap Knock-offs tho. I gave-up on them when i found that the size can most places sell are only for small compact cars. It would take 2 cans for my suv & 3 to inflate my van. I was only planning on them as a qwik-fix / get to a safer pull-off method anyway. An actual spare can't be beat.
such a busy stretch of highway. Bend needs supplies from Portland ;-)
Nearly exactly in the middle of 'not close to anything' !! If you leave your car on the shoulder of the Hwy, have flashing lights on, so drunks can crash into it. 🥴
Casey, thanks for the videos! What is that interesting black thing in Gavins garage, hiding behind the red Toyota?
I bought my wife a new Jeep Renegade and the same thing happened to my wife. Luckily she made it home before it went totally flat. The next morning I went out to put the spare on, and it's like where is the jack, where's the lug wrench, and WHERE is the spare tire? And what the hell is this ? A pump and some seal a flat! Well it didn't work. Went down bought 5 new tires and another rim, jack lug wrench. When we bought the car I never thought to check for a spare. I'm mean why wouldn't there be one in a btand new car? Well lesson learned alway check for a spare before you buy a new or used car.
That is why the Prius Over lander you saw had the bumper with the spare tire.
I guess in some parts of the country no spare isn't a big deal. Not so much in places like this. Glad it all worked out.
What would a decent used fully equipped rollback cost these days? Hooking up on the side of busy roads is something where time exposure is best minimized. But most of what you show seems to be backcountry.
Oh my goodness. This was a fun one but at the same time not so fun for Gavin. Hard to imagine that Toyota doesn't put an actual spare of some type in the hybrid. That is pretty stupid on the part of Toyota in my humble opinion. But as always thank you for sharing. Peace.
Unfortunately the sad time’s we live in many people don’t know how to change a tire
Casey your videos are always interesting and very good quality. If it was me I wouldn't let him live that down for a long time
Spare tires are extra weight, and nobody changes tires on the side of the road. Besides, everyone has a cell phone, and cell service is everywhere. Just ask the Cellular companies.
Amazing. I know of several cars that should have spares
That area is cursed I got 2 flats in one night right there on my way to lapine. Changed the first then the spare popped about a quarter mile down the road.
Thanks buddy..
Casey, have you thought about installing a manual locking hub conversion on the front end of your Dodge RAM 3500 Cummins? We had them installed on our 2006 3500 Mega-Cab Cummins last year...what a difference, especially in mileage too.
That's a manufacturer for you trying to save money and not give you a spare and a jack as always you made quick work of that and as always be safe 👍
What you need, Casey, is a sound studio with a big green-screen, and do all your filming there, so you don’t have to worry about real word sounds that might upset your viewers.
Yeah, how dare I film my jobs out where the jobs happen!
I wanted to see more of your mechanic buddy's blue car. Was that a 65 Nova?
So cool buddy i like that
So apparently several menufacturers no longer having spare tires in the cars I talked to a few people that said that they believe that's because the manufacturers are trying to do some weight reduction for delivery and one guy was working in a dealer and another one working at a tire shop and told me this he's lucky he had a can of fix a flat supply .
I have a problem with carrying a spare for my T Bucket, 5 hole 15" Jeep wheel on the front axle, and 8 hole 16" wheel on the back. My flat bed is only 30 inches long, and I have a box on the bed that takes up half of that. I do carry some tire plugs, and I have an on-board compressor, but, I have made my mind up already that if I have a flat out in the boondocks, I will just drive it in. I will need a new tire and wheel, but it is what it is. All of the rest of my vehicles have spares, and jacks, and lug wrenches. I even have those big 4-way lug wrenches because the little "cute" lug wrenches that come with the vehicles are a joke! A bad joke at that.
I heard you just fine Casey. Nice video!!!
Big Ole Stupid Guage Thing GONE YEAH---love it.
Where do you get retractable rackets?
There's actually a lot of newer vehicles sold without a spare to save weight. Even if you do have a spare, it's probably a compact temporary one.
I ordered myself an extra rim and mounted one of the good old tires on it when I got some new ones. Had to rearrange the space where the factory spare used to be, but it was worth it. I drive 400 miles a week. A full size spare allows you to not worry about it if you need to use it long distance.
If you buy a new or used car, best to check and see if it has a jack and or a spare, read where close to 40 percent do not come with them anymore.
So, Gavin didn't even try to use the "Fix-a-Flat"?
There we go again, a mechanic not trusting an engineer wisdom.
Peanut butter. Makes a milkshake health food! Lol
I’m camping near Madras thanks for the tip on the chicken I’m going in town this morning for gas.
Just went to the Chevron and got some Krispy Krunchy chicken. It’s as good as you said. Thanks for the suggestion.
Well He is not the only one that doesn't have a Spare tire. I also an a Mechanic & I also do not have a Spare Tire in My car & I also have not had luck in finding A Spare for My 87 Crown Vic.
I don't have a spare on my truck either. No where to put one other than just in the bed, and then I wouldn't be able to carry the gear that I need to actually do the job🤷🏼♂️
@@CaseyLaDelle OH NO!! Guess that makes 3 of Us. HaHaHa. Ever think about mounting one on the front bumper like in the olden days? I also was surprised near end of video where was said that Toyota's don't have a spare anymore. They used to, right from the Corolla to the Land Cruisers. The FJ's used to be mounted on one of the rear doors. That was one of the tasks in the PDI's of putting them on.
Hey Casey !! WOW !!! Like everything else it's a learning experience with "NEW"" equipment !! Sorry to say,, Those ""PEDAL "" Pusher cars are just what they are
Lol, after you said that , the noise died right down 😀
Both of my cars (13 kia rio and 2021 corolla sedan) came only with a stupid fix a flat kit. First thing I did was getting a spare for both.
With the 2 ply donut tires that most manufacturers put in the new cars there not much better than no spare.
Gavin needs to get a rim and make his own spare tire 🤣🤣
Gotta love engineer's who design a vehicle with no spare🤦🏼♂️😆
We has a sign in the shop. Shop Labor rate : $25 /hr, If you watch: $35 /hr, If you help: $50 /hr, If you worked on it first: $100 /hr
Hahaha at the ending!!!
Collins dolly's are awesome. And we don't put miles on the vehicle.
Repo Man and his rig.
YAY!
Good morning Janelle. You are the early bird!
LOL , road noise that does not end! Casey do you notice a difference in the way your truck drives now that you have changed the rear differential? Have a good day and of course thumbs UP!
Not really, surprisingly it drove really straight with the bent rear end
@@CaseyLaDelle Oh wow , I was wondering if there was a noticeable difference. If I remember correctly I think it was wearing the tires on the inside edge so the wheels must have been toed out for that to happen. I guess being a toe out condition it helped to stabilize and "wandering" tendency. I am glad that its fixed, thank you Casey and have a good day.
@@richardthomas1743 yeah the total toe out was 2 degrees, which should have made it drive really bad. But the only reason I noticed any problem was the tire wear. It still drove and handled just fine
I had to reset my youtube name... what kind of drone do you use? Love your footage and that you do this by yourself.... im researching for our channel and looking to buy a drone today...
My Prius had a donut spare and lug wrench and a jack, don’t think I ever used it
On Corvettes they don’t even come with a can of fix a flat or a spare. They have run flat tires which are good for 50 miles. So, if the tires comes unglued you are royally screwed just like your friend.
... "Apparently, Toyota hybrids have an odd wheel out and they're prone to blowing"... 🤪
That's okay , Gavin , ford did the same thing with the mustang , no spare just fix a flat and air compressor ( even though there's room for a donut spare 🤦♂️ ) . Don't you love all that background noise when trying to record a video ?
unreal, NO SPARE? obviously they only think city driving. 😮😮😮😮
I agree krispies chicken is the best chicken in town. I work at Land Effects and my crew always stops at the gas station by burger king and near the jail area to get the chicken strips or sandwich
They don't put spare tires in so they can rip you off for more money on their Fifty Thousand car! Good job Casey! Think I will just keep my 94 GMC pickup!
My Camaro does not a spare just the can of gunk which tire repair shops hate. And does not seal serious leaks.
Modern Spare in Layton Utah sells spare tire and rims and complete kits with jack,wrench etc for vehicles that came without a spare. Tire is close to a real tire with decent range and speed rating. It is not a permanent replacement
Should have hooked the front first then put 2 jack stands at the jack points then lowered the front of the car the the rails would be easier loaded and dollies raised up and ready to go then raise front on the rails move the jack stands and that's it
Aaaaannnnndd that's how you total a car. Don't ever do that.
I never met a mechanic that would drive a Prius 🤣🤣🤣
