The impressive part is not only did Mrs. O. successfully complete the repair, she did it while watching over an inquisitive child through most of it without losing her cool once, while also doing her front office duties. Plus, she was working on lunch when you came back around. That's some BOSS action right there. Eric, you gotta give her credit for nailing it under these circumstances.
Man this family is freakin' amazing,hard working,caring ,loving people who are so secure in their love that they can poke a little fun at each other without nastiness,great job Mr's O ,SMA rocks,best auto channel on TH-cam by a mile.!
Awarding 9.5 points, only because Mrs. O forgot the Brakleen. Trinity yells "WHOA" at 8:30 when the panel falls down, just like Dad! Way to go Trinity!
@@SouthMainAuto Eric I don't care if you use brake clean in each video but I expect a Mr O WHOA special in every video. It's like a Scotty Kilmer grunt. If there isn't just one, it's not a real repair video.
5 ปีที่แล้ว
` but Scotty doesn’t do repair videos... At least not accurate or good.
Your statement at the end is soooo true. You give so much inspiration to many women out there. My neighbor needed some work done to her car. I showed her this video, gave her some confidence, and the use of my tools. To me, it was an easy job (light bulb). But she did it and saved herself $50.
That was awesome! Eric you found a keeper for sure. What a woman. She mounts and balances tires, diagnosis and repairs wiper motors. She hunts and shoots. She's a good mom and does it all while looking beautiful! Congrats to you Vanessa. You are a blessed man Eric. Take good care of that her! You both are fantastic people! Living in New York no less! (Of course in a small rural town) 👊👍😁
Good job, but the best part of the video was your angel daughter, she is so cute and such a whip, reminds me of my daughter who is now 22. Such a good helper.
Go Mrs O.!! Easy as pie, huh? Although, you should have said "There's your problem lady!" Just like Eric does. Haha! You guys are so awesome! In one family, we can get quality automotive repair advice, funny jokes, a family that can always make you smile, outdoors videos and food! The O Family has it all! Thanks for the videos guys!!
I agree awesome family they get along so well even 8 hrs a day at the garage. ERIC YOU CAN TELL HOW MUCH YOU GUYS LOVE EACH OTHER. ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS AND EXPERT ADVICE IMMENSELY. PUT MRS.O IN THE GARAGE AND IN A FEW YEARS SHE WILL BE A GREAT TECH. KEEP UP THE GOOD HONEST WORK. O Family
Eric - It's called a blessing, to have a wife that would have the guts to take on that project - she is a 1%er for sure. Blessing Eric a real blessing.
That's an awesome job Mrs. O. I think after the tire and oil change video and now this electrical diagnosis and repair, there should be a recurring spot called "Mrs. O's Corner: Making Auto Repair Look Simple". She pays more attention to detail than half the mechanics I know. Again great job.
This was the best repair video of 2016! Thanks for showing the diagnoses process. Trinity was sure the repair would end up with breakage. She's got a great family to learn automotive repairs from!
Just replaced my wife's windshield washer motor, and the rear wiper motor needs to be replaced. So, I found this vid and watched the whole thing. Totally priceless. The best part was Mr. O coming in at the end, and then bragging about the potatoes!
Thank you for this video! My kids climbed on the back of our Odyssey and broke the rear window wiper loose. It was hanging straight down instead of where it should normally sit. Thought I was going to have to pull the entire back panel of the van and tighten it from the inside somehow. Saw how you removed the wiper with your video, and it was as simple as popping off the back plastic and tightening the nut to get the wiper tightened down and working again.
vanessa you are amazing, that was very well done. You do the book keeping, cook and clean, and assistant mechanic. Eric is a lucky guy. You don't procrastinate at all. I like how you stopped to get detail instead of breaking stuff. great job.
Women can learn to fix cars, and guys can learn sewing & cooking. Never say "I can't!" My mom worked on a farm, then in the airplane factory in WW2. Mrs. O has very good basic technical/observation and tool skills. A great effort. Well done.
I love those pictures of women working in factories during WW2. We can do anything if we're prepared to try 🙂 I've always fixed my own cars and motorcycles because it's really expensive to have someone else do it here in the UK. I have ended up falling into being an engineer and machinist in my own little company keeping vintage motorcycles on the road.
When fixing up my truck throughout the years I've always bought OEM. Being and 05 though, certain parts can be a little hard to find though. Long story short I wound up settling for a dorman door handle. My least favorite part of the truck. I suppose I relearned a lesson. No part at all is still better than a dorman part!
Eric is blessed. Did you see how she handles the screwdriver and the wrench? Thumbs up girl! You go!!! Diagnosis 5/5 , Tools dexterity 5/5, Safety 4/5 ( no boots) Temper 5/5 ( she did not curse the clip), Speed 5/5 . I say we have a new mechanic. Welcome to the trade!
+South Main Auto Repair hey Eric I live in Michigan and I have a 2000 Saturn and it.has no AC no heat and it over heats if you take it on a long trip my name is Brian it has a ,170 on it it is a v6
Commenting on this really old video because I have a really old van - this vid was just what I needed to finally rip open my lift gate trim, so I could access my rusted-in-place latch handle, clean it up and get it working again. The real-time demonstration was perfect - Thanks!!!
Vanessa and Trinity are both total dolls, man. I am recently addicted to.your channel , and.i absolutely enjoy your.diagnostics and attitude and demeanor, but the women in your family are completely awesome. Lucky man, and thank you for sharing all this.
BRAVO!! BRAVO!! ENCORE!! ENCORE!! Finally, a real professional, tackling a difficult repair job, IN STYLE!! Now we know the real story behind S.M.A. channel!! Eric is just the pretty face, in front of the camera, and Mrs O is the brains of the outfit!!
This was so funny and instructual. Had to come back and watch you two ladies work as a team and fix that wiper motor! Eric, when you make her do your job, at least you could order food be delivered so she doesn’t have to fix it!!
Mrs. You are an inspiration I have been auto mechanic for 45 years and this video with something special to watch you need to make sure Mr. O never forgets he found a winner
That feeling at the end of the video when you know you should feel a little bit of guilt lol. Sometimes we are put on the spot when the unexpected happens lol. I was laughing the entire time, I can imagine Eric's feeling and trying to brush it off by asking all those questions including how she tested it, quality content.
Go Mrs. O that was great! Eric is a Lucky man to have a woman that can multitask and even work on her own car! Love watching the videos such a wonderful family.
lol my wife almost killed a brand new car because she took it to jiffy lube. I kid you not they only put one quart of oil in it. she told me later that night that the oil light was on. lucky I caught it in time. she said she did not want to bother me. so after that I showed her how to do it herself
This is what it's really about. I worked as a mechanic for about 20 years mostly on foreign vehicles but on many other mechanical systems as well. It's a constant learning experience. You did great! Thank you fro sharing!
That was a great video, loved watch Mrs O just tackle the situation and fix her van . Great Job in the shop and the Kitchen and what a great little helper ,The Artist. 😊
Funny how ETCG, Eric O, and I all bought our wives Odyssey's as a preference. We had to sell ours to get into the new place, but they're a good vehicle. The Nitro has been good for us because there's always something to fix/make video on. (partly due to higher miles)
@cisa93 Agree. People bash Chrysler but I've had a '94 Voyager and 2 Caravans, one of them the 2001 I bought used and drove over 100K miles and the present one, bought new in 2011, is at 41K. No problems with any of them, just routine maintenance.
My ex wife and I had a Grand Voyager back in the day. She was queen of the block since it was the one to have. Raised four boys, numerous road trips, and thousands of trips between baseball and the grocery store. It served my family well.
🥳🤘Go Mrs O I enjoyed watching you replace that wiper motor you made it look so easy so I have shown your video to my nieces and now they want to see more of you doing these jobs on vehicles as you made it so easy for them to follow . Thank you
I didn’t look at the channel when I click on the video. All I did was type in how to change rear wiper motor, then she showed up, I clicked on her and watched till the end then Eric showed up. I was like, wait a second. I had no idea this was his channel. I love the ending when they are talking at the end. Great video!!!
The best repair videos on the planet! Mrs O is awesome and cute! She is great and knows her tools.She has obviously paid attention to Eric for a while.I have spent numerous all days watching these videos and can't get enough.Love this family and amazed at Eric's quality video editing and don't see how he has time for the camera work.This video is 6yrs old and I hope they keep it going for 10 more.I'm so jealous of this family!
I felt like I had been to the end of the internet and back again trying to find THIS EXACT video! Nothing else showed all the steps, trials and errors like this, that was a true pleasure to watch! Congrats to you Mrs.O! and your helper :) and thanks to you, I will be changing my own rear window wiper motor on my '09 Odyssey! Thank you again, and have Happy Holidays!

She needs a raise
Ya it takes a woman to a man job LOL
Man this family is freakin' amazing,hard working,caring ,loving people who are so secure in their love that they can poke a little fun at each other without nastiness,great job Mr's O ,SMA rocks,best auto channel on TH-cam by a mile.!
Indeed. To the point that it becomes a little awkward/uncomfortable to watch sometimes. 😉
Love this family.
Coming soon: Eric does the ironing!
Bhahaha
Don't go there Eric!
That was really funny.
ERIC YOUR neglecting the honeydoo list bud The mechanics car & wife's car is always the last ones to get fixed
😂😂😂😂😂 folds the laundry and puts it away
Manning the front office, babysitting and wrenching like a pro, all at the same time (and looking good doing it). Who's a lucky dog there Eric...?
Awarding 9.5 points, only because Mrs. O forgot the Brakleen. Trinity yells "WHOA" at 8:30 when the panel falls down, just like Dad! Way to go Trinity!
I think trinity may have heard the whoa a time or two around here :)
It would have been really great if Trinity had yelled, "Well, there's your problem, Lady!)

$50 to change a lightbulb? What repair shop do you go to?
She's on her way to being a pro: "It was broke before I touched it."
i wont lie, its really great to see you guys not only working together taking care of your kids but also you helping working in the shop too!!!
Sorry Eric.... We like Mrs. O better :)
I agree. Eric, you're fired.
Yep look's so much better to.
shes nicer to look at
I did not think she could do it...and then she did it! Great!
Yea,she’s definitely easier on the eyes.
I remember when Mrs. O was nervous around the camera. Now she is doing her own video. Very cool!! Keep up the great work. Jim
Changes for the SMA:
EricO = Demoted to shop clean up crew
Mrs. O = Promoted to lead Mechanic/Technician
😁
ha ha.
WOW!! You're in trouble Eric....She did a great job AND she''s a lot cuter too. Nice job Vanessa!

I love how Mrs O is getting more comfortable with the camera 👍, we want to see more of Mrs O !😊
Good job, but the best part of the video was your angel daughter, she is so cute and such a whip, reminds me of my daughter who is now 22. Such a good helper.
Trinity says "OK, you're breaking your car". Priceless!!
What a concept! Two parents who share productive interests and educate their child at the same time! There IS hope for the universe!
When Trinity said 'WOAH' @ 8:28 she sounded just like her dad... lol
And yes I thumbed up my own comment, She was just too cute not to.
She is adorable. :-D
Trinity: "Ok your breaking your car", priceless
Go Mrs O.!! Easy as pie, huh? Although, you should have said "There's your problem lady!" Just like Eric does. Haha!

Eric - It's called a blessing, to have a wife that would have the guts to take on that project - she is a 1%er for sure. Blessing Eric a real blessing.
She cooks she cleans and fixes car.... Eric my friend, your fired!!!!
Seriously, you all make so many people smile. Thank you.
Mr. O, you're in over your head, having any sort of discussion with the lady. You've been nailed fair and square. Shape up, lad!

The man is so blessed. Id work my ass off everyday to have what he has
She did a great job, even tested for power and ground. Not breaking any of the plastic is bonus points!
Thank you for this video! My kids climbed on the back of our Odyssey and broke the rear window wiper loose. It was hanging straight down instead of where it should normally sit. Thought I was going to have to pull the entire back panel of the van and tighten it from the inside somehow.

Great job with the repair Mrs. O. Trinity is adorable. What a great family.
Mrs. O. is awesome 😁 Nice job, simple process, and hopefully you’ll inspire more people to do their own tinkering on the more straight forward jobs.
I loved it great job!!! im sure Eric was proud after seeing this :) made me proud just watching. you guys are great. family interaction is priceless.
I can't wait to see little Trinity doing a routine service on her scooter! Such a cute little smile too!
You two are SOOOOOO cool. I absolutely love the Trinity/Mrs. O combo!!!!
Atta girl. Nice job Vanessa. Proud of you.
vanessa you are amazing, that was very well done. You do the book keeping, cook and clean, and assistant mechanic. Eric is a lucky guy. You don't procrastinate at all. I like how you stopped to get detail instead of breaking stuff. great job.
After reading all of the comments, there isn't much more to say. It was awesome, love your precious little girl, she is so sweet. God Bless you all.
Good job on the repair Mrs. O.

Quality OE parts, none of that Doorman junk! Love her :)
Yeah she is not a droman fan I guess
South Main Auto Repair the people that sell Dorman parts don't even like Dorman.

My least favorite part of the truck.
I suppose I relearned a lesson. No part at all is still better than a dorman part!
I'd say the same thing about Cardone rebuilt stuff but I know Mr. O uses them sometimes so maybe it's just me

Kudos Girl. Come on Eric give her a hug and tell her she did a wonderful job.
Eric O
You found a gem in Mrs O because to find a multi talented woman are hard to find. She is one amazing woman .
I woulda hugged my wife n told her I'm proud on the spot
I always do :)
+South Main Auto Repair hey Eric I live in Michigan and I have a 2000 Saturn and it.has no AC no heat and it over heats if you take it on a long trip my name is Brian it has a ,170 on it it is a v6
My ex wife woulda had the window broken, motor in backwards and a nasty electrical fire goin on back there
I'm lucky if my wife remembers to tell me it's nearly time for her oil change. You lucked out finding her!
Thermostat, plugged radiator, water pump?

Great job Mrs. O this is one of the best videos to come out of SMA.
All SMA videos are brilliant, but this is the best one yet. Mrs O and Mini Miss O are the true stars of SMA 😎
Digging through the archives! I think you should have Mrs.O in the shop more! My wife loves watcher her fix things!
Mrs. You are an inspiration I have been auto mechanic for 45 years and this video with something special to watch you need to make sure Mr. O never forgets he found a winner
Way to go Mrs. O great video of your mechanical abilities.
That feeling at the end of the video when you know you should feel a little bit of guilt lol. Sometimes we are put on the spot when the unexpected happens lol. I was laughing the entire time, I can imagine Eric's feeling and trying to brush it off by asking all those questions including how she tested it, quality content.
Good evening Mrs. O that was an excellent video it was funny and helpful at the same time i love it. 👍
Best repair video ever!
Go Mrs. O that was great! Eric is a Lucky man to have a woman that can multitask and even work on her own car! Love watching the videos such a wonderful family.
Your a lucky man Eric. My wife would have spent $600 getting it fixed. Take her to dinner.
lol my wife almost killed a brand new car because she took it to jiffy lube. I kid you not they only put one quart of oil in it. she told me later that night that the oil light was on. lucky I caught it in time.
she said she did not want to bother me. so after that I showed her how to do it herself
I wasn't prepared to see this one but am super happy to see Mrs. O do a repair on her van. Love it!!
Trinity's commentary "You bwoke it." "Get down before you bweak it." "OK, you're Bweaking your car!" XDDDDD LMAO
Good job on the repair.
Great job Mrs. O and Trinity!!!
I like how you say okay I love you to Trinity, and she just says "Bye" haha gotta love kids
This is what it's really about. I worked as a mechanic for about 20 years mostly on foreign vehicles but on many other mechanical systems as well. It's a constant learning experience. You did great! Thank you fro sharing!
Good job Mrs O.....you all are great team.
Great job Mrs. O. Did the entire job while still doing mom stuff. Thanks for sharing
yes! give us more mrs. O !!
Retired heavy duty mechanic . Worked for international for 40 years , love your vids . Now I’m repairing my teenage kids cars lol
even bashing Dorman junk, nice video.
We got to have a Miss O DIY at least every couple of months Eric.She is SMA Gold.
Way to go Eric! As I say "if you can get someone else to do it, you're probably better off!" You're learning!
I just found your videos the other day through SMA's channel. Good stuff and I hope your recovery is fast!
Thank you!
That was a great video, loved watch Mrs O just tackle the situation and fix her van . Great Job in the shop and the Kitchen and what a great little helper ,The Artist. 😊
Did Trinity ever find out what a masterpiece is?
lol.!
Her Mommy done a "Masterpiece" fixing her rear wiper, great job Mrs O.
WOW....I am impressed! Mrs. O fixed it like a pro! Hey Mr. O, you better watch out because she is going to steal the spotlight!
Mrs O - Eric, my wiper blade needs fixing
Mr O - I can't, I'm busy
Mrs O - Hold my beer
I love the relationship, you guys have, congratulations!
Funny how ETCG, Eric O, and I all bought our wives Odyssey's as a preference. We had to sell ours to get into the new place, but they're a good vehicle. The Nitro has been good for us because there's always something to fix/make video on. (partly due to higher miles)
I bought it because I knew she could work on it :) Haha no actually I am a Honda guy so that is the real reason.
***** Lol I wouldn't buy my wife a domestic because I don't wanna have to wrench on it every other day lol
@cisa93 Agree. People bash Chrysler but I've had a '94 Voyager and 2 Caravans, one of them the 2001 I bought used and drove over 100K miles and the present one, bought new in 2011, is at 41K. No problems with any of them, just routine maintenance.
A recent study showed the Odyssey is the most "American" car sold in USA based on parts, assembly and components. Still one of the best.
My ex wife and I had a Grand Voyager back in the day. She was queen of the block since it was the one to have. Raised four boys, numerous road trips, and thousands of trips between baseball and the grocery store. It served my family well.
🥳🤘Go Mrs O I enjoyed watching you replace that wiper motor you made it look so easy so I have shown your video to my nieces and now they want to see more of you doing these jobs on vehicles as you made it so easy for them to follow . Thank you

8:27 Trinity with the trademark "woah!"
Haha, I noticed that. Takes after her dad
The best repair videos on the planet! Mrs O is awesome and cute! She is great and knows her tools.She has obviously paid attention to Eric for a while.I have spent numerous all days watching these videos and can't get enough.Love this family and amazed at Eric's quality video editing and don't see how he has time for the camera work.This video is 6yrs old and I hope they keep it going for 10 more.I'm so jealous of this family!
"what is a masterpiece?" She's too cute.
Way to go Mrs. O, hanging around with that hubby of yours has served you well.
Watch as Eric O. turns Producer. Nice job Mr. O. Well played sir. Hahaha You now no longer need to work. Look at the views this is getting!!!
New to the channel, and enjoy each episode. Spent many years in the industry and love the approach to each repair. Very rare these days.
She has way more patience with those damnable plastic panels. Awesome job!
Mrs O, thanks for allowing your husband to work by himself installing a water pump. And thank you for uploading the install of the rear wiper motor.
good job Mrs O!! Make him put all the tools away
I felt like I had been to the end of the internet and back again trying to find THIS EXACT video! Nothing else showed all the steps, trials and errors like this, that was a true pleasure to watch! Congrats to you Mrs.O! and your helper :) and thanks to you, I will be changing my own rear window wiper motor on my '09 Odyssey! Thank you again, and have Happy Holidays!
Only thing missing.. "There's your problem Lady"...Maybe with Mrs. O it would be "There's your problem Mister"...
and,no,brake,clean
Mr. O is such an excellent mechanic I"m sure he has something to do with all this . So much fun , had to watch it all ! Thank you !
Remember, if Eric can do it. So can his wife. Best video I've seen so far. 😅
A masterpiece is a project that an aspiring master completes to show they are a master in their craft.
Getting it done Mrs.O!!
You and ur wife work very well together plz keep ur videos coming again I have learned a lot just from watching Thanks again
she did an awesome job
Always great when Mrs. O takes care of things.
