Hoovie is single handily keeping the witchita auto repair industry alive
Hoovie is a pillar in his community, and I'm not being facetious
Just look at the number of auto channels on TH-cam in Witchita all somewhat associated with Hoovie
@@temur72 is westen champlin associated?
@@njhgv9192
To be honest i have no idea who that is
makes me want move there
I wish I had a place like this near me, I feel like all the repair places I've been to are trying to scam me...
they do do excellent work but i guess if you have a customer like hoovie, you roll out the red carpet and warm his toilet seat. in any case they are a good addition to the channel
I really like the detail guy. He does a great job and I like how he goes beyond what his normal scope of work is. Great attitude and his new front desk / waiting area looks amazing. Hoovie, start a channel for this guy!! Also, I prefer these unique but simple cars opposed to the super cars. More 80's and 90's GM cars.
@That V8 Life thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.
Copart: "You won this lot with your $300 bid"
Also Copart: "Here's your invoice for $5000. You have 3 min to pay or we will charge even more fees"
You could say this about any public auction. Only dealers get the special treatment
@@TheBigDUCC Nope. I've been to auctions that only charge sales tax. Not even a membership was required.
@@fersaccon oh damn. Were they public auctions? You didn’t have to pay a registration fee?
@@TheBigDUCC Public. You only had to register (for free) with a credit card refundable $500 deposit. Bought a few cars from them, but I moved to a different place and the closest one is now a Copart. They charge all those fees and still provide the worst customer service ever.
Gov deals has never done me like that. I have had great experience with them. All fees are known up front.
Now that I've seen a couple invoices from Vango, I'm actually pleased with the prices. $500 for the work in the SSR is pretty darn good! Might need to take my A4 over there for some work on its tired paint.
A lot of people criticized this vehicle, I always liked it something kinda retro but not cool convertible thing but if I could I’d buy one. They said it was too heavy , a lot of GM cars built in this time frame were said to be too heavy but it’s still cool
I’d totally get one. Looks cool and has some storage area. 2 seats and space for junk.
You have to get the right colour though...the banana yellow one is just atrocious....
I would absolutely LS swap one! Like the purple one Doug reviewed a couple years ago
Road and Track always said the same thing about the Camaro.
My only criticism of the SSR was the production line they shut down to be able to produce it.
I miss my 1991 928s4. What a great car that was. The rear end of that car is still modern to this day.
I like how they had perfectly good switch gear and powertrains that go into the Holden SS Commodore/Maloo utes... Yet they chose to use none of it.
A totally baffling business decision that made a totally unique machine. It's like SAAB built it for them or something.
That's because in 2010 Pontiac was going to introduce the Pontiac G8 ST which would have been a UTE with the G8 front end. We were sooooo fucking close to getting those
@@SceneFreaks6661
Buy an ex police caprice
@@12yearssober the Caprice wasn’t a ute though
@@patrickmartin3322
True but it's all we had here that is affordable now. The G8's are super high now.
@@12yearssober I was looking at those when I was shopping around, at the time in my area people were asking the same for those as they were G8 GTs and GTOs. Ended up getting an 04 GTO last year. Still would love to have Caprice ppv or a G8 GT one day
That van go place is a great shop with super great prices!!! That same job on that 928 and the ssr would have been double or triple that price anywhere else!!!!
I love vangoh he’s just as funny as the car wizard, And the work they do is unreal
vangoh is slightly different to Van Go
I appreciate you throwing in the costs. Gives me an idea if some of these services are in my range.
Thanks Hoovie!
guessing Hoovie get's a nice discount, but still nice indications on costs for people.
He's getting a pretty good discount. The actual cost for a normal person is about twice as much.
What a great team you have Hoovie, kudos to the Wizard and the awesome Vango. Another feel-good episode - love it.
Vango is so awesome and so genuine ! I would love to have a shop like that here in Ky.
I still think the Lincoln Blackwood is dumber 🤣
Definitely dumber. The fact that they had a carpeted bed, only came in 2wd, and didn't even have real wood on the sides made them pretty much a rolling joke.
Now that was an ugly ass truck 😂😂😂
The Vango guy is so cool. A great addition to Hoovie's list of characters. Makes me want to move out to Wichita.
Hoovie, I've got to tell you... I LOVE this show. I know that you've got more money that the 'average' Joe, and that's great...I love seeing all these beautiful pieces of history come back to life (The SUPERBIRD is my all-time favorite car, btw), but have you considered an ALL-OUT restoration? I'm talking, like... a gently used body with a blown motor and destroyed interior..? Something like that? I'd love for your collection to carry a 396 Chevelle or a weird halo Mustang (like a Mustang wagon) or something like that. Maybe a Barracuda S or a Pantera? I don't know... Anyway... I just wanted to show some love! Be safe, and keep it up! -Vic PS--If you ever decide to get rid of the STD/S/SSR/LKQ/HSSRSTDSRE, I WANT DIBS.
Live the guy from Vango, so genuine!
The prices these guys gave him are freaking amazing! Fair priced mechanics that do good work. A truly rare combo.
Awesome to see Tyler and company going through various stages of building relationships, growing their businesses, and every individual's own character development on camera.
Car Wizard - From awkward, camera-shy, small shop in "No Muffler Newton" to being very expressive and witty on camera. Not to mention the expansion of a thriving kingdom of expert auto wizards / magicians.
Car Ninja - Always so calm and modest. No matter how big of a project or problem you throw at him, his response is always along the lines of a very casual "Actually, there is a way. I'll show you." Follow that up with a casual demonstration of how Car Ninja came up with a way to do something better and/or faster than the manufacturer intended in the first place.
Vango - WOW! Still a bit fresh to Hoovie's viewers but definitely not holding back. Absolutely top tier, honest, work. It was cool to see him open up a bit more and continue this vibe like "Hey guys, welcome to the party. Let me show you around and check out what we're working with." Definitely takes a lot of pride in the work they do at Vango, but maybe a bit too hard on himself at times (the curse of being a master of your craft) - but I also enjoy how Tyler constantly hypes him up and shows him that while the artist is being super-critical of his own work, the rest of the world is still trying to comprehend how those kinds of results are possible at all; even without the challenges and constraints he had to face along the way.
And Tyler! He's come a loooooong way from being a goofball that hoards American Boats, Euro-Trash, and Japanese Memes. He's definitely graduated from "Hoarding" to "Curating". He gives all of us an opportunity to see and experience many different flavors of automotive history, without leaning too hard on the inner workings of YT to the point that it gets repetitive or obnoxious like some other channels. As that wasn't already a big accomplishment, he's also growing an amazing community of experts and enthusiasts that many of us DREAM we could be a bigger part of.
TL;DR - Thanks for doing so much to grow an awesome community of experts and enthusiasts without being a cringey YT channel that bombards the users with repetitive demands or making the algorithm a priority over creating quality content.
very well said! also don't forget URINATION BOB!
Damn, that 928 looks GOOOOOOD!!!
Love how confident Magic Mike is in front of the camera now… his Walmart stereo bit had me rolling!
I think something good happened to him. Either that or he just started using drugs.
928 S4 on the original forged wheels, and the rear wing hasn’t been painted. Drool. As a former 928 owner I’m really glad you’ve got one👍
Tyler, your smartest purchase was the Porsche 928~
VANGO is such a pleasant addition to the guest appearances to the channel.
He really made that SSR look great!
The Porsche looks like new again! VANGO does amazing work. You are so lucky to have them! I wish I had someone like them here. 😕
But it was ugly as new. i always found it a mistake. Poor man's Porsche. The Boxster and Cayman is ok,but the older non 911's were so poorly designed.
@@pharkasj I actually like it for its nostalgic look. Of course modern Porsches are better looking, better built and drive better. It would be a good weekend and cars a coffee car for me.
The Van Gogh guy gives me serious Robert Loggia vibes. What a legend
Hoovies Garage is the best car stuff video's on youtube.....Thanks Tyler.....80 year old Navy flying Shoe🇺🇸
That was so much More than 500.. Your business is appreciated. Customers who come back, are More important than Max profit everytime.
Even van Gogh would approve of Vango. It's all in the attention to detail. 👍👍
I love the Corvette but I like the SSR. I know it's the dumbest truck ever but I wanted one when they came out new.
it was a hot wheels. literal icon before the recession. and since the fed bailed out 2008 and 2020 with no interest rates, we will never get that innovation again
Vango blows my mind with their restores everytime!
Wish we had a Vango guy in Houston!!
My wife's very favorite truck is a winner! You should see her smiling right now. But he 928 looks absolutely amazing, the man is a genius.
Let me guess, she's a baby boomer
VANGO trips just makes these videos a whole lot better
The 928 just looks fantastic.
Vango…..wow, that 928 looks magnificent!!
While I am not a buyer, I love browsing on Copart for fun. Interesting to see them in all kinds of conditions, most are wrecked but some are in "run and drive" conditions and look clean.
When I lived in the US I always wondered who bought these SSRs. Not sure I know even now, but it is such fun.
Recently I had discovered Ford Courier mini pickups from Brazil and Mexico that aren't legal in the US. At least that is what I think is the case. There was a guy in Brazil on TH-cam who restored, modified one and he was certainly proud of his achievement!
Viva La Hoovie for getting back to your hoopty roots ... This SSR has been a delight ... and for us mere mortals it is an achievable project to ponder ...
Wizard's expression at 4:25 is priceless n its how i felt when i watched it
I spit my coffee out n said 2 myself y is Mike going 2 destroy a mint condition dash of a sporty head turning vette like that
I just love that Vango guy.
Had not seen one in years, Hoovie buys one and Saw 2 last week, different colors on the highway.
6:53 Nice slap
500 is VERY reasonable for that SSR repair, great to see an honest guy doing honest work
glad to hear the mention of my native country every time Maybach has mentioned:)
One of those trucks, would be the nearly ideal begineer car for Drag n Drive events. Add a belt driven blower and intercooler, upgrade the injectors and a bolt in cage, tyres and tools in the bed, you're sorted.
I own a GMH (Chevy) VY SS Ute with a 5.8 V8 and it's the best fun to have ! Fast off the lights It's been lowered 1 inch all round so it hugs the corners without body roll unlike these big trucks everyone want's Nah my ute is sexy ,cool and sporty just like Hooves SSR !
I wonder if that was scripted, or if Mike took that on himself. He does well on camera
6.50 (back ground) OMG! Someone needs to tell Wizard his staff are being Assaulted!!😱🤣
Need to get an SSR . Miss my 928' s. Have a MB 550 convertible thats been a great summer cruiser and runs easy low 13 second quarter mile times to beat up muscle cars!
check the play in the rear end on the vette and the attachment points.
I always wanted this truck and loved it when it first came out. I never seem them anywhere.
I like that you give the price you pay for the work done
7:28 - the more I see that XJR hanging around the shop, the more I low-key begin to hope that it's going to stay long enough to eventually go up for sale. :D
Vibration that’s not a vibration all you have to do is Bouncin blueprint the motor rebuild the transmission balance the driveshaft and a half shaft as rebuild the rear end and make sure that you have performance wheels tires and rims on it that should take care of it
I love all the random cars you get, makes it fun to watch your videos. I would love for you to find some random AMC vehicle and do some videos on one of those.
Not everything has to be a super car. And I would love to have someone like Vango in my area, he is a magician with cars.
Wow! Vangough is moving up in the world! Silly wizard with that prepaid bill.
1400 for both of those? In today's market with the hours they put in that's a lot less than I was expecting. Can't wait to see the wrap bill lol.
the detailing guy is amazing
Yep Hoovie, Brake clean ,Rags, RTV, Parts washer solvent, Rags, Electrical Tape, and Carb cleaner Etc, are all free when you own a Shop. There is a Guy that comes around to Every Shop, Once a week and gives us Shop owners all this stuff (workshop supplies) for free. I am surprised You did know this.
I remember seeing one of these in a town called Dun Laoghaire in Ireland as a young kid, and I've absolutely adored them ever since. I would be sad to see it ever go from the Hooptie fleet
Jesus Christ those are killer prices!!!! This guy is a magician! He is going to get a ton and I mean a ton of business!
Now we need a Chevy HHR for the win.
The Porsche looks incredible.
Every car guy/girl wishes they had a Wizard, Ninja and now Vango to call on when they need help with a vehicle or just when the job is beyond their skill set. What a great price and result on that truck!
Don’t ask that poor man do your body work! That’s like asking your dentist “you’re kinda a doctor sure you can’t treat my warts too?”
6:10 joel osteen is a heck of a good mechanic
Oh my dog! You may have finally scored!😂
Thanks for the episode...The STD turned out great! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
That Vango chap is a real character 😎👍
That may be the best looking 928 I’ve ever seen. Don’t sell it, bravo!
Yeah the dealership I work for charges around $20-$30 just for shop supplies.
Damn it. The fiberglass ground made me spit Pepsi all over my phone... Hoovie making everyone money. The Porsche still looks modern space age.
When Hoovie makes money every one makes money
When Hoovie looses money every one still makes money lol
That 928 looks awesome..... What a car...
See Std's are fun!
Collect the whole set!
Eventually your car collection is going to be made into a museum. The hoovenator garage of excellence. You should do something to honour Lee Iacocca. The next buy should be a Plymouth Reliant or other early K platform car.
I liked that there were no spoilers/sneak preview in this one
Wow, the work on that 928! Incredible!
This is my favourite of your cars- I can’t be the only one who finds supercars dull.
As a claims adjuster in the supply chain issues world. It can be cheaper/better for customer to total out a car then keep someone in a rental for 3 to ? Months for a part to come in. With you saying the part was indefinitely back ordered or just doesn’t exist anymore; is the likely the reason it was totaled out
They are going real cheap nowadays too. Man I want one my desire for a modern-ish elcamino is strong.
Have you ever done a Porsche Boxster? There are hooptie examples out there just waiting on some Hoovie love. And they have hit their depreciation bottom and are gaining value. Maybe there’s a chance of even coming out ahead on one.
Hoovie is the Medici patron of Vango's Da Vinci
6:53 SLAP OUTTA NOWHERE XD
That guy's a magician...that 928 looks like new.....
I absolutely love that chevy SSR truck, can I have it please! I would love to drive that around the UK and show it off!
move the Porshe logo on front over the mark on lid
My Model A used to “fix itself.” It would start making some horrendous noise, and then stop, and the noise would never be heard again.
Hoovie and the car wizard need the key to the city! Keeping Wichita alive cuz there's not a lot to do here.
How do you find such good shops!! Seems like you find some genuine folks who enjoy the service they are providing.
I actually really like that SSR. Hmm I wonder if I can find one in the UK.
Tyler you need a classic truck fleet. I have 4 old body style ford trucks for sale. all run and two of them are daily drivers. 3 7.3 diesels and one rebuild gas burner. it seems the more punishment the better the videos are.
two crew cabs two extended
20k
How about a super clean 1980 Lincoln Mark VI coupe with 85 k miles no rust and has the rare optional 351CID 5.8L V-8 everything works including the A/C runs drives great
I can't get over how cheap Vango is on these jobs! I own a similar business and can't believe that level of quality on his work is priced that affordable!
Man, I hope Vango gets a location here in CA, that's some amazing work for that price!
Tyler, give me a heads up.. when you are ready to sell it.
It is my big brothers favorite car. I would love to give it to him.
He has been driving a Pontiac Vibe since 1964.
It would be a dream come true.
Pete
When is Vango going to get his channel going? I will bring my car to him to get sorted from NY.
