I love how Matt doesn't just own the business and let's someone else manage it. He knows his own building in such detail. Love the passion and dedication.
Any successful small business owner is like this. If your company only has a handful (or a single) location, you should absolutely know every single inch of how it operates. That's just a given. Your comment is essentially like saying, "I love how the parents are so involved in their children's lives and seem like they really love them". Well yeah, that's pretty much the vast majority of small business owners and parents.
@@roots4x I think the point is that he doesn't have to know every single detail of the business, he could just as well simply have learned the big picture stuff, paid the bills and hired a on-site manager to deal with the details. I mean it's a car storage facility, I doubt the customers care if the CEO knows everything about everything or if the manager knows it, or if anyone knows it tbf. I know I wouldn't give a crap about how much hp the lift motors had or how they created the light fixtures in the basement if I stored my car there.
@@shadow7037932 he built it after checking google maps and making sure he's in an area full of wealthy customers and nowhere to leave their cars, and having 1M subscribers doesn't hurt
@@NoPrivateProperty watch the podcast with his dad, he didn't hand him the money without proving his business plan, and stop blaming people for being born into money
Its insane to see how far Matt and Larry have come. I havent spoken to them in quite some time but i was one of the early members of there NYMC and took Matt with me on Bullrun lol. He drove my M6 from Canada to Key West while i drove my F430 Spider. Only recently i stumbled upon him and Larry again and its great to see both of them so successful. I just picked up a 458 and bought a ton of Ammo stuff this week to clean everything myself lol
Is it weird to say but I just like Matt giving tours of things that he has some knowledge of, he's got the right pace and attitude for me to go right along with him.
Matt's attention to detail is incredible. its so overwhelming to make sure everything is going to plan but to put his touch on anything and everything is on another level. i've been a listener of the smoking tire for easily 10 years now and he's the only youtuber i've been committed to all the years. Zach was such a great addition to the name as well.
I always thought this facility was a bit small for purpose but perfect otherwise. Glad to hear Matt is expanding. May his success continue, this sort of business saves cars for future generations as well as serving current owners, so it has cultural importance as well as logistical. If I ever am around LA I'll be sure to pop in and drop off some Madeira wine for the booze lockers!
In general space is at a premium anywhere in LA. The fact he was able to build something this large in the location he did is extremely impressive (and lucky).
Thanks for the tour! Matt has always struck me as a funny, kind and nice person. I greatly admire the two of you and enjoy seeing this content. Continued good luck for you two guys.
Go watch the video where he reviews Ammo NYC porsche. And skip to the end where Matt Farah tells his viewers how he really feels about them. "If you're watching this on youtube you can't afford ammoNYC detail services. Also the guy disrespected a well known member of the Porsche community after he passed away from covid. The guy is a piece of garbage.
What and incredible facility! And to think I've been watching both TST and AmmoNYC for a decade! It's so heartwarming to see your icons do something that is bigger than just them, and to watch their businesses thrive is just the icing on the cake.
From Matt early videos to now I can truly say I am happy for him. You own a business and you just didn't just buy a building; you know everything about it, and run it like a responsible business owner. I can say I truly enjoyed the video tour. The amount of organization is stunning. God bless you and your new venture
Props to both of you and especially Matt. People don't realize how difficult it is to build something, let alone with city regulations and the overall scope of that project. Add to the fact it's a successful and now expanding business model is truly a feat to behold. It's clear Matt (and his team) have put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes and his father's entrepreneurial nature has clearly rubbed off on him. That folks is truly livin the drean.
As an electrician, I can too say great conduit work, and it’s very impressive you run that facility on a 400amp service. My house has a 320 amp service.
It's probably 3 phase. Residential most people probably don't even peak beyond 150A usage in the summer assuming a worst case of running AC, oven, dryer, etc and the only real advantage to having 200A service is circuit breaker space. 300A a waste but it's not like it really costs much more to put in a bigger panel with a bunch of blanks.
This project has been on a crazy scale for Matt.. I have no idea how he makes any of it work but good for him, glad to see his vision finally alive and kicking.
This is one of your best non-detail videos! I had to screenshot the conduit & equipment to show my contractor how I want mine to look. Truly impressive & well thought through-I can see why you are friends!
Larry, Matt, Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Larry, thank you for taking us through this wonderful and well thought-out facility. Soooo many ideas for my own garage. Geek-out session: completed
This is a dream place to own and spend everyday at. Matt you did such a great job having that place built from the ground up. All the craftsmenship and the layout are top notch. This place should be the gold standard for storage garages/detailer/hangout warehouse everywhere, I don't even know what to call this place other than amazing. My only problem is you gotta upgrade your office chair, lol. Great work overall, wish I lived in California, I'd love to join.
Nice so see Matts so humble and proud. He should be, it's an absolutely fantastic facility. Glad to see it up and running, been following the podcast for a few years and remember when it was being planned. Great job! Side note: Looks like a full AMG S126 coupe on a british front plate, the wheeler dealers one?
Forget the Porsches and Ferraris, I just want that sexy RS6 with the top box! 🔥🔥🔥 And I really enjoyed this video. You and Matt separately are great but it's always good to hear/see you guys interact as well.
Oh man that conduit work is sexy. I like how Matt obsesses over little details like how smooth the elevator is. He definitely doesn't half-ass anything.
I miss his driving videos on TH-cam but Im glad for him. Finally stopped doing charity work and is now making some serious income doing something he clearly loves. What kind of track car dors he have now?
I went to visit the site in 2019 - on holiday from Australia - unfortunately it wasn’t finished and no one was there, but it was still awesome to see the progress - congrats Matt
I love the Periphery signature guitar hanging in the lounge. Recently discovered Misha from Periphery is a huge car guy, so this was pretty dang neat to see
A Nerd Tip: Matt should run his underground at a positive pressure, i.e. have air pumped in, rather than pulling air out. That is creating a negative pressure and would pull in more dirt then doing nothing at all...
The features and forethought that were built into this design are in place because of someone who is obviously a true car enthusiast. There are so many features, both practical and aesthetic, that a run of the mill business person would have never thought ahead about.
I remember when he was just a nobody on TH-cam with that stripped out C6. It's really nice to see how far he's come along. It's nice to see how far you've come along too.
As a former commercial electrician, the shout-out for the beautiful conduit work was awesome.
is the coiled cable in induction concern?
@@cliveramsbotty6077 something you saw on the video?

I couldn't stop staring at the craftsmanship of that conduit work either. Borderline art. Great vid
Yes agreed
Anyone in any type of construction trade can appreciate the quality of work that has gone into building a facility like this.

I absolutely LOVE the detail Matt put into that place. That sprinkler system is amazing, and must give exceptional peace-of-mind for owners. 😎
When an owner brings their passion into their business you see this level of magic and detail. So awesome and well done!
I can respect the amount of thought and engineering that went into this. Wh am I kidding, Matt called it, I’m a nerd who absolutely loved this tour!

Matt is crushin it!! Unbelievable facility. Thanks for bringing us.
13:37 especially if someone/something was under that door;)
This is awesome I always wanted a tour of Matts shop. Great video Larry
The more I see of this building the more in absolute awe I am in. The attention to detail in literally every part of this building is phenomenal
It’s great to see old friends supporting each other.
This dude killed it
I’ve seen all the tours Matt has done with different TH-camrs (& for his own channel) and it never gets old seeing this building and the cars inside.
Matt's looking good. I can tell he's been taking care of his health. Stay awesome buddy!

That is such an attractive way to store these vehicles. Big kudos to Matt for pushing such a project to reality. 👍😎👍
Good God that electrical work so clean and nice
The Nerd Tour is everything i have ever wanted to see. Shout out to skilled trades, too.
I am beyond ecstatic to see this business is booming for matt.
What an awesome documentary of Matts facility!! It is Top-Tier!!! 👍✅
that 996 is so clean. gorgeous facility.
Wow. He really did it, what a crazy sob! Congrats on opening up location 2.0!
I almost skipped this one as I’ve seen multiple vids of the bldg. But you got into the details of the bldg which was awesome
One of my favourite videos so far.
I was hoping one of you would explain how many cars have to be moved to get to the cars at the back or the top

Congratulations Matt! What you built there is freaking awesome ! It’s like a Garage/Storage built with Art !
I love this dude. Feels like a regular old buddy you’ve grown up with

The cars are really cool - but the conduit work really is a work of art! Amazing!
So awesome to see Matt doing well! Thanks for giving us a Tour!
YESS! Every since Matt opened up, I’ve been waiting for you to go visit & make a video
This place is PERFECTION * Chefs kiss *
Listening to his approach when putting this place together and running the numbers in my head feels like an episode of Ozark. If you know, you know.
Fascinating comprehensive tour of the absolutely superb complex.
Dude i love this massive car collection you have. Utterly gigantic. It's a veritable cornucopia of cars.
Absolutely incredible facility, Matt Farah is a legend.
The change in sound when he walks in the studio is crazy!! 😮
Oh man that conduit work is sexy. I like how Matt obsesses over little details like how smooth the elevator is. He definitely doesn't half-ass anything.
Matt has his own way to be..........but I wouldn't doubt it if he took a couple notes when he visited Jay's garage.......nicely done Matt.........
Love the Smart car in lower level lol such a fun and quirky car. What an amazing place Matt has built!
Enjoyed seeing Matt Farah garage tour.
28 outta 10 “Nerd Tour”. Thanks for the vid Larry; phenomenal job to Matt & Team
I miss his driving videos on TH-cam but Im glad for him. Finally stopped doing charity work and is now making some serious income doing something he clearly loves.
What kind of track car dors he have now?
So epic. So much thought went into the build. Matt is a legend and truly loves cars.
Very much appreciate Matt's attention to detail.
Never seen a car lift system like that. That’s amazing Matt.
It looks great until a big SoCal earthquake rolls through town.
I went to visit the site in 2019 - on holiday from Australia - unfortunately it wasn’t finished and no one was there, but it was still awesome to see the progress - congrats Matt
I love the Periphery signature guitar hanging in the lounge. Recently discovered Misha from Periphery is a huge car guy, so this was pretty dang neat to see
The quality of your videos is always enjoyable to watch. On par with the best out there.
I could see Matt opening these around the country, especially in cities with tight space. Great job here by everyone involved. Super clean.
Thanks for showing off the tour ,this was awesome. Love it.
A Nerd Tip: Matt should run his underground at a positive pressure, i.e. have air pumped in, rather than pulling air out. That is creating a negative pressure and would pull in more dirt then doing nothing at all...
But it's needed for exhaust gas extraction from the cars. I supposed he could run two independent systems, but that seems a bit ridiculous
@@alejandroherrera5271 Ah, very good point.
Lovely tour! And as someone from Finland, I enjoyed your appreciation for Kone.
Both you and Matt are great for the broader car-enthusiast culture.
Love that you guys been best buds forever
This is cool, I haven’t seen an update since the driveway was poured, so building had just started.
That wall of conduit was pure artwork 👌
What an amazing place, I had a similar idea for the Chicago area and people told me it would never work. Great job Matt
Honestly, Matt is a genius. He's the type of person who would be the head of a Honda NSX caliber project at a car manufacturing firm.
The features and forethought that were built into this design are in place because of someone who is obviously a true car enthusiast. There are so many features, both practical and aesthetic, that a run of the mill business person would have never thought ahead about.
Wonderful to see someone passionate about their work
Well Done Matt and Thank You Larry.
I've been waiting for this episode for years
Couldn't help but notice the guitar with the Periphery inlay on the fretboard
Reminds me of the Ghostbusters containment unit with all those electrical boxes on his walls
Cool to see again. Always wicked to see what new cars are in town.
Proud CT resident here too, you guys make us look awesome!
Love that MV Agusta Superveloce in the basement!
Was that an ARCH next to it?
24:05 Dude is crazy having a cactus that close to your desk. One small misstep and there goes your day. 🌵
Amazing facility ! From the perfect conduits and up, totally top tier ! 🤩
Congrats Matt!!
Very interesting and well throughout design for the massive amount of restrictions that Cali has.
As someone working in R&D at KONE, the "badass elevator" shout-out made me chuckle :)
Such a great facility. Surreal to see that amount of cars stacked up! Another brilliant video.
I remember when he was just a nobody on TH-cam with that stripped out C6. It's really nice to see how far he's come along. It's nice to see how far you've come along too.
Amazing service! If I had the money and a rare or special car, I would be so happy to store it there.
Lol that backwards walk out the door
I knew Larry would love how neat the electrical work is.
what an awesome building, great job matt! looks very good.
That was an amazing place. Thanks to you both!!
