Ima mobile mechanic in VA bro and I come out as long as it’s 25 degrees or better. For colder days I try to schedule jobs that are quicker and I can keep my insulated gloves on. Ur right it’s not so much your body but your hands and toes that get cold. Also I carry a portable propane heater when it’s that cold. Helps a lot!! Thank u for your videos
I also have not found suitable gloves, especially for working with small components, but we must keep going 😂. Stay warm out there, thank you for watching.
Good NKGs, but not sure I would just swap out coolant without doing a flush in between. It adds time to the job of course, but a flush with an actual coolant system flush product will do a much better job for the client and prolong the life of the cooling system. Liquid Moly makes a great one, or just Prestone's flush from the walmart, with a few gallons of distilled water, let it come to temperature on a short drive (where you can also maybe diagnosis any other issues the client is having) and then do a drain and fill when you return. Top it off with a headlight restoration. The kits are 20-25 bucks, but you can buy all the components you need individually for much much less than that if you're doing multiple jobs. Everyone loves new-looking headlights that actually emit all the light they're supposed to, so it's a quality safety upsell for the client. The before and after pictures of cars you've done will sell this easily. This client definitely needed it. P500, P800, P3000 sanding paper and some UV coating (Meguiar's Keep Clear Headlight Coating aerosol or 3M Quick Headlight Clear Coat wipes). It'll last for a year or two, or more if you instruct the client to clean and wax the headlights once a month or so (not that anyone will do that, of course, but it only takes 5 minutes). I do that now as part of my oil change service - so I restore the headlights, gain them as repeat oil and trans drain/fill customers, and sell the clean and wax as a "free" benefit. Keep up the great work and good luck staying warm!
Thank you for watching and for the suggestions, i would agree with you for the flush if the car had high milage, this car had 80K and a flush is not neccessary in my eyes, if the customer keeps doing it every 80K the cooling system would last. Stay warm buddy.
Bring a mini space heater to help with cold fingers and toes. Run off your battery and turn it on every 20-30 mins to warm up the bits. On extra cold days I put a clear plastic drop tarp over the hood to allow light but trap heat, also helps with precip. 👍

Good luck to you my friend, its not easy work sometimes especially with the weather, thank you for watching. I wish you the best 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing! I wear wool socks and it helps with the toes, but I can't find gloves that I can work in.
