My new favorite series on YouTube! Also Sandro is the man 👨🏽🔧
I have seen a welded brake disk in the past, but the FJ45 Toyota came in from a station in outback Australia 300km + from parts and it did come into get new brakes and brake disk
10:15 I’ve busted my knuckles a thousand times over the years 😅 even sliced two of my fingers down to the bone! 😒 thankfully I still have those two fingers!
customer horror story from at work (servo talking to workmate) live in west australia he had a camaro sent in for a paint job. 3 years yes years later he gets it back…and its bent like the entire body was bent like a banana. seems the idiots (not even licensed to do what they did) cut the roof off his car, then lifted it up on a hoist, without the structural support of the roof the frame bent. apparently the company realised they effed up and held the car for two years hoping the owner would forget about it…he's suing them for the botched job, which is how he found out they weren't licensed to cut the roof off.
13:55 his eyes!
"Always use the right tools. Also, hail Satan I guess?"
So I had the cover for the AC Unit on my bus blow off on the motorway. Or it opened and ended up straight up like a sail and it sounded as the roof blew off (which it sort of did)
I had to take the bus, with passengers to a workshop in the next city and they put the bolts in that the previous workshop forgot. They also found the tools that was supposed to be used to bolt that cover on laying on the roof.
We always called the cuts and scrapes from working on vehicles "spanner rash" because any mechanic who doesn't have it clearly isn't using his tools enough to develop symptom's.
i really like this channel – i think donut were right to make it separate from their main one.
The Chris Farley reference. Nice.
