Story Time with Kenny WOULD BE AWESOME! It’s a great way to learn, and be entertained. Thank you for all you’ve shared so far.
could make a 2nd channel...stories with kenny...either way, i'd watch
Me too.
Me too
People are stupid and try to get a free repair.
I believe that stories on a Sunday night is a really good idea. I have watched the number of subscribers increasing since I first started watching your channel and a lot of your success is your communications skills. You would likely see a jump in the number of viewers yet again. You keep it enjoyable as well and I always feel like I am learning.
He is a great tech.
Nice Fix Kenny and a good story. You could tell a story at the end of a vid like you just did, as a sign off. That would be like a bonus to the mechanical stuff.
YES! I would love to hear your stories!!!
BTW -- The lady complaining about her honda at the end of your video - Send her to the people that did that AC compressor replacement :)
Excellent job as always Kenny and I hope you get your new place soon because you will always have business and yes tell us your stories.
Good job not many honest mechanics like you around anymore love your videos
I agree and don’t go to a dealership period, I’m retired and other mechanics are telling me how they see the customers being ripped off badly and doing work and parts not needed
Amazing story, I was mechanic working on a large fleet of delivery vans a driver came in the workshop and reported his van was not charging, I checked it out and found no charging fault, he came back the next day and reported the van was still not charging, I told him there was nothing wrong with electrical system to which he said no no it’s not charging up hills 😂
Lololo 😊
Great work, I enjoy your videos. I learn something new on everyone of them.
Thank you
Absolutely... short " Tales from the shop " would be interesting to hear. Opens a chance for others to share theirs too. Great video
Yes I'll take the storytelling session thank you
Story Time with Kenny would be EPIC !! LOL
Keep up the great work & the Stories are a tremendous bonus! 🙂
Yes I definitely would want to hear your stories !
I would love to hear your stories..
Hello from India 🇮🇳
Love watching your videos.
Storytime with Kenny sounds great. I`ll bet you have some real zingers.
Hi Kenny
i like your channel
I would really like to hear more of your stories.
I like stories. Thanks for the video Kenny great job fixing it.
Glad to see that you can actually find the source of grinding noise, rather quickly. and fix the clients problem. the other, so called mechanic/ tech, needs to go back to wrench school and learn how to avoid come backs. Can't blame the lady for not going back, I sure wouldn't.
Dealership mechanic are told what to do and they just do whatever there told because of very low pay and they know shop boss will starve them out if they don’t
That is an awesome idea. Yes, let’s please hear this. The stories with Kenny would love to hear it!!!
Hell yeah, story time with Kenny! Sounds like a good Friday night topic.
Another good one Kenny. Cant wait to see what your new situation will be. I’m guessing you’re going independent with your own garage.
Also with the belt, before you remove it, put a directional arrow on the belt showing it’s direction of rotation before removal and make sure to install going in the same direction.
Wut
Great point! I will note it on the next video when I have to pull the belt off.
Story time videos would be awesome! 10-20 minutes same as most your regular content. I can only imagine the things you've heard.
Can’t wait for, Story time with Kenny!
Hi Kenny. Stories are welcomed!!
YES lets here the stories. that would be great.
Story time with Kenny...............can't wait............
Haha 🤣 "My Honda did not starting up" cracking me up.
I would love to have stories with Kenny
Saturday story time is good Kenny , I'm all in .
Yes I would love to hear stories.
I always take pictures with my phone when I’m dismantling stuff, especially wiring. It could happen that certain parts I need are out of stock at the parts store and when they finally arrive, I could go back to the pictures on my phone to refresh my memory. 😂
Of course, I would like like to hear some of your ventures.
Dude you remind me of my brother in law he's good with his hands plus he'll make you laugh just like you. Good job thanks for helping the lady out it's nice to have a trustworthy mechanic even nicer a friend.
I vote yes for stories!
I would love to hear your stories. Love learning from you.
Thank you for watching!
Kenny, as a 40 plus year dealership master tech who always prided myself in my workmanship and diagnostic abilities, I applaud you for your ethics and straight forwardness to diagnostics! The last ten-fifteen years I had to work with a bunch of guys that had no idea what they were doing and were crooks at the same time for years. I hated that but the dealership kept hiring them, seemed they loved it cause they made them tons of money selling stuff that wasn't needed. I guess the damage control didn't offset the profits. I was glad to retire.
It's hard to work for & with people like that. Thanks for trying to do the right thing. Keep wrenching 🔧
Story Time with Kenny? Heck yeah!!
Kenny, it's nice to see how well you treat your customers by checking everything. You know how ignorant most people are mechanically that bring you work. That's OK because it keeps your bills paid. Great job as always..Pete
YES on the stories!
Write a book! What a hoot it would be for a Christmas for the mechanic who has everything!
Thank you for the video, Kenny!
Story time with Kenny will be welcomed!
Storytime sounds like a great idea
If you want Kenny to give us some good stories, give me a HELL YEAH!
Yes I would like to hear some of your stories.
This should be a mandatory must watch for all dealership mechanics!
Thank god I'd just swallowed that mouthful of drink....."My Honda won't start!" OMFG.
Story time would be awesome. Anyone that has done whatever job or long enough will have them. I know I have some good ones. Would love to hear yours.
New sub, that story has me beat! I rebuilt a 5.7 l injection pump, customer complained that ever since you rebuilt the pump, when they turned left, the radio quit working ! This was in 1979! Thanks for the video
First off, love the channel. And yes, I absolutely think a weekly storytime video would be a great idea.
i know this was an easy fix for you kenny with your experience but some garages just want to rip people off at some point they need their garages shutting down its hard to find an honest and trust worthy mechanic like yourself keep up the good work
Like the channel I have been a mechanic for twenty years glad to see an honest man out there
Once took in my Dodge Omni GLH (86) I think, AC blowing hot air. To the dealership I bought it from. They had been bought by a new owner. Under previous ownership it was more a like a repair shop that happened to sell cars as a side-line. They were honest and dependable. People were bringing their non-Chrysler products for repair. The service writer said it was the expansion valve, and parts and labor would be around $150. So I had them do it, came back after work, paid the bill, drove off. AC was blowing cold, my pocket book was $150 lighter, but I was happy. Next day I start to drive to lunch. The place I worked at was a couple of miles from anything, so you want lunch, you drive. AC now blows hot air right on me. I'm not a happy camper at this point. Drove straight back to the dealership and met with the same service writer. He acts like he's never seen me or that car before. He says he'll have the tech take a look. Then they told me it would need a front seal in the compressor and that would be $300. Now I'm really unhappy! I said yesterday you said it was the expansion valve. He's still acting like I've never been there before. Although, that made him kind of stutter. Well it don't have anything to do with yesterday, whole different problem. I got my keys back and drove off. Some time later I took it to an independent shop. I hadn't used them before, but they had been at that location for several years. The service writer didn't even try to guess, he asked why I thought it was a compressor seal? I told him that's what I was told. He said bring it in day after tomorrow, we'll take a look at it and tell you what we think. They came up with, "you've got a busted hose." He said parts would be a little expensive, because on that car all AC hoses were one assembly. He had a work around for that and would try it. If that didn't work, he would eat the labor on that and go ahead and replace the assembly. We ended up doing that, but this time my AC kept working and I never went back to that dealership again for anything. Eventually that car developed so many other problems, including that paint peeling off. I got rid of it. Oh, the independent shop even let me watch as they hunted down the leak.
Yes. Please tell stories. I love em. Keep wrenching
I would like to hear some of the stories
Yes, stories please!😂
Yes Kenny I would love more stories!
Great video. Stories of your experience would be great.
That’s hilarious about the Durango and the Honda! I would love to hear a story time with Kenny!
One of the main reasons I never became professional car mechanic was because of too many of those occurrences while still in high school.
Since you fixed this my other thing is broke and it's all your fault.
Plus too many repairs to peoples cars costing ME money.
I said screw this and became a welder.
I don't see how they missed that! I was a driveability technician for 30 years, I prided myself on almost 0 comebacks. To me, if a car came back with the same problem, I felt horrible as not only had I failed the customer, I failed my employer as they had entrusted me to do a good job. How a shop could let this go with a clear conscious I don't understand.
WOW! I am impressed by almost 0 comebacks. That is something to be very proud of. Keep wrenching
I’ve seen it with females owners
Dealership love single women because they can screw them out of money
I want some stories...I can only imagine
Story Time with Kenny would be great , i enjoy your Videos !
How does one take a belt off and not check all the accessory pulleys and miss that basically locked up alternator? Even if the clutch was bad, it would still move freer than the alternator pulley? That's what give's mechanics a bad name, good job Kenny, for being honest and great at what you do?
Some people do not need to have a wrench in hand if you know what I mean
It might be nice to have stories, I liked the comment about the Durango and Honda.
Yes the stories would be awesome!!
"Why would you charge somebody for something, and not even fix the problem."
The majority of my dealings with mechanics were me (or the person whose vehicle I brought in) being charged for things that didn't fix the problem.
I love a good story! shameful for the other shop.
story time lets do it. never a dull moment in the car business
Story time, hell yes.
If the woman sues the other shop she can take your paperwork and testify to the judge that the very next shop she took it to, yours, did indeed correctly diagnose and fix her problem. there's very little mystery for the judge to unravel here and she will win that case.. as she should. and you get to be the hero who instantly identified the problem. and I think you got a new customer there. make sure you take her along when you go-go. 🏁
Great video. I work in parts for a dealership and I cannot tell you how often the techs will price out all kinds of stuff not related to the customer concern or try to play “parts darts” to fix a problem then act like what they replaced needed it but also needed other stuff. Glad to see there are still some good technicians left. God bless.
You are a good man Kenny. Nice video with excellent tips along the way. You really are about helping others, very commendable. Your honesty and integrity speak volumes about who you are as a person.
Thank you for sharing your work. It’s nice to know there are people that still care about there job.
WE WANT TO HEAR THE GOOD STORIES!!!
I hope the customer gets her money back on that unwarranted compressor replacement. Crooked shops give the legit guys a bad name. I know what your talking about when it comes to a person ignoring a noise because they're use to hearing it. I recently retired from a school district after 25 years in transportation and I can't tell you how many times I've test drove a bus and almost instantly hear something wrong that the driver didn't write up. In my early years there I figured the driver wouldn't write something up so we wouldn't keep "his or her" bus out of service but I eventually learned that drivers get use to a noise and kinda ignore it. Then, when a mechanic jumps in the bus for a test drive it's obvious something is wrong. Anyways, keep up the good work and honesty will always prevail.
Congratulations on your retirement! Thank you for all the years of keeping our kids safe
Storytime sounds like a video I would gladly watch. Got a few stories myself, but never a customer that claimed fixing one vehicle broke another.
U do a good Job thank u for doing so
Stories! Either at the end or as some have said, at the end of each video. Looking forward to your new adventure. Hopefully everything is good with the guys you work with now.
Story Time with Kenny WOULD BE AWESOME!
Stories with Kenny!...👍👍👍...Love your channel!!!
Story time is a great idea 💡
Nice to see you point out to check for pulley match. Learned this the hard way on an ac pulley I changed for a bad bearing. Turned out a different depth(a/m) so the pulley moved closer to the motor. Initially nothing than a squeal. Turned out where the belt went from the ac pulley to the crank pulley the edge was now rubbing at the engine oil pan edge. Needed OEM pulley and redo and I hate redo's😂. Love your channel and I would definitely watch Kenny's story time.
I'm glad you worked all that out. Thank you for your comment & watching the channel. Keep wrenching 🔧
Kenny, a couple of years ago a friends mum was having trouble with her Ford Falcon (yes I'm Aussie) going into limp mode. She had it to 3 different shops, the transmission was rebuilt twice and still not resolved. So being a retired mechanic my friend asked if i could have a go at diagnosing the issue. It took me all of 5 minutes to correctly diagnose the alternator was failing under load and causing th3 voltage to drop below what the ecu was happy with. So I fitted another alternator and to this day it still hasn't let her down.
Lucky her car didn't the typical milkshake in trans from failing radiator.
My dad's BF has the engine light on permanently for last few months, but we don't notice anything wrong with it, so keep driving.
@Derek Hobbs obviously you didn't read it very well, it was the alternator not the radiator.
I read it just fine, but AU onwards Falcons and Territorys have bad reputation for trans failure caused by radiator.
Definitely try story night. Should be fun!
Hey Kenny, from late 2007 until Feb 2018 I lived with a friend off the grid. In order for me to read after dark, I used headlamps. I wore 3 of them out over the years. After about 6 months of wearing them every night the elastic bands would stretch out. I tightened the headbands up with a safety pin and used them until they worn out. By the way, my hat size is 7 1/8.
I'm a tradesman and big headlamp user (basic, $15 ones from Hone Depot) and the elastic stretching out is super annoying. I wish they sold replacement bands.
Thanks for the Honda laugh.
Keep the stories coming.
Nice work, great stories! I'd love story time with Kenny!
Kenny you are a credit to your profession 👍🇬🇧
Absolutely, story time with Kenny.
Story time would be awesome.
I let the ads play without skipping.
I love this channel!
Thank so much 😃
From Leo: You are a patient man, nothing seems to bother you. I think there should be open season on Auto engineers where mechanics are allowed to beat them on sight. Miserable designs that take three hands to work on while not enough room for the fingertips on one hand. I just spent 3.6 hours fighting clips, connectors shifting the engine around on the mounts, etc to do a job that used to take 20 minutes start to finish without even raising the car in the air.
👍love it ........ More stories would be great😂😂😂😂
Great job Kenny integrity is everything.
I watched this video and now my F150 won’t start!!!!!! 😂
Would love to hear your stories!!!
😂😂😂 I'm dead now! That was a good one
👍 Those qualities in a mechanic are why their never looking for work or customers, they flock to you by word of mouth and reputation of your character for being honest and a quality mechanic....👍
Yes sir story time sounds good
