I worked at a dealership for eight years, and I never, NEVER saw anyone clean the caliper adapter bracket contact surfaces.

Guess that's why I keep watching.
It's SO SWEET that Ms.O let's you know when you have fans visiting. And it's even cooler that you drop what you're doing and come say hi to your fans. Thanks for coming out to say hi to me that one time Eric!
@@SouthMainAuto Please, more of the meat and potatoes videos. Your users (me included) LOVE brakes/struts/ball joints/etc. Don't discount these videos, that's what got us all hooked here!
We love diagnostic video, but SMA brake job is a must!!! Maybe you could alternate : one diagnostic video - one nuts and bolt video! So everything for everybody. Thanks Eric for helping DIYers like me and my friends. 👍
It's like SMA Classics day! All we needed was Miss Hannah to make an appearance for the illusion to be complete. It also amuses me to no end to hear people wax poetic about Wegmans. I live in Wegmans hometown. I can literally see a Wegmans supermarket from the end of my driveway. If I want donuts, I drive 10 minutes to Ridge Donut Cafe to get the good stuff...they put Wegmans donuts to shame. You ever want a box of righteous donuts Eric, just say the word.
Thanks Eric...your video on parasitic drain on a Chevy truck was the answer I've looked for my GMC Sierra. Who knew an instrument cluster could be the culprit? Was going to use the company you used to restore the cluster but found a local shop who did it in 24 hours . No more dead battery...you are a genius. Thanks again...
I do like all the electrical diagnosis and repair but there's nothing more satisfying than brakes, suspension, ball joints, and steering at South Main Auto!............ Way to go Eric O! Thank you again!
I wake up everyday, go open the shop and work on cars. On my days off I work on my cars. In my freetime I watch Eric work on cars. I have no life. And I love it.
Hey this is great! Yesterday fix a Idle control valve using "renches" and elbow grease, and now today, lunch with family and a GM Brake job. Way To Go Eric!!!. Why was your son watching Scotty Kilmer videos?
I absolutely love your channel not only for the fabulous content but it reinforces my love of the south and it’s RUST FREE vehicles If someone there in the rust belt would build houses with heated driveways that had high pressure undercarriage spray nozzles built in to wash away the salt it would pay for itself quickly by making cars last longer
I never met anyone who loves brake clean as much as I do until I started watching SMA videos 😂 Brake Clean just adds that finishing touch like the salt bae does with his sprinkle of salt off the elbow .
I swear Mrs. O was "highsplaining" the burger technique..LOL!! Must've had a "Mothers little helper" midday break. I love this family they are perfect together and quality entertainment!!
Ahhh, a SMA classic! Brake job, brakekleen sound effect (phone didn't ring though), and showing close-ups of FOOD. I wanted to reach into my monitor and swipe that burger! Mrs. O spoils you!
The best part of "another" brake job video is seeing you hang out with the family. Good that everybody can be there while you're working. Man, I confess to missing that brake cleaner music!
Love your videos and even color when you pop in with the family just to remind us your just as human as the rest of us hard working dads or otmoms or other lol great video
I've done a lot of brakes jobs. It's still great to watch a professional doing one. Oh! and I have two more rules to live by in auto repair. 1) Don't be a ding dong. and 2) Don't look at it sideways. Truer words were never spoken.
I love it. Miss the brake jobs. Since watching you, my drum brake experience is a lot better. I love the kitchen. That burger looked goooood!!! Mrs. O is awesome. Good kids. Electronics and soda! At least he was watching hot rod videos!!
I’m just one of those shade tree guys but I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos. This is my favorite auto repair channel ! ( sorry Scotty ) Many thanks for all these fantastic video! Also love the fact you include your fantastic wife and family!!!
I learn another little trick every time I watch one of these. I always wondered why you put the pads in the bracket at the workbench instead of after bolting the bracket back on, and how you kept them from falling right the shmoo out of the bracket while doing so. Today I learned why, and also how - that stupid little toothy thing crimped into the hardware explains both. I also learned the trick of starting the upper caliper bolt with the caliper up & away. Great tips, thank you sir.
I love these brake job videos. I used to THINK I Knew how to do brakes. I practiced taking them off and putting them on in auto shop in high school, and I saw my untrained family do it. Then I see how Eric O. does it, and I perform a brake job using his methods, and I am impressed on how smooth the car stopped. The brake pads last a lot longer too (Didn't care with lifetime warranty pads lol). I always blamed age of the cars and cheap aftermarket pads, but it was just not being properly trained. Every brake job I do now feels like the car just rolled off the assembly line and stops like it was meant to! Keep up the wonderful videos Eric!
*NOW THIS IS HOW YOU change breaks folks!!!* SOOO many shade trees and even garages never change the hardware and NEVER grind the rust. Many also "miss" the pin lube.
The slow motion brake Kleen and music was pure gold! I literally laughed out loud.
We will need more of that in the future.
Me too, nice touch, slo - MO, & music..
With the slow mo brakekleen tune I started with (in the voice of Marlon Brando in The Godfather) you know I spray you down to keep the gumbas from attacking you, so go out to the salty world to live on.
You made my day. we don't use brake clean at work and that took me back to the good old days thanks.
He did that so dramatically for that guy that whined about how expensive that stuff is. LOL

I really love the “family time” part of the video.

@@ozzykrahn806 LOL! At least I don't do it for the "likes."
THE BEST AUTO REPAIR VIDEOS ON RUclips!!? YOU CANT HELP BUT BE ADDICTED TO SOUTH MAIN AUTO!!!
This has to be one of the best shows on RUclips. Thanks Eric and Vanessa.
It's SO SWEET that Ms.O let's you know when you have fans visiting. And it's even cooler that you drop what you're doing and come say hi to your fans. Thanks for coming out to say hi to me that one time Eric!
Gotta say, seeing an SMA brake job makes me feel like everything is right with the world... at least for 21 minutes.
How does this channel not have a million plus subscribers yet? there isn't a better mechanic on RUclips
Seeing your young family all at the shop brings back fond memories of when my boys were young and used to hang out at the shop. Good times.😊
You fix the cars and let Mrs O do the cooking! Best of both worlds!! She feeds you well!
Damn I've missed the brakleen action, glad its back.
LJU Saw another channel. The guy used it wrong. He just sprayed brake clean.
it was a little rusty....almost didnt work it's been so long....

Sounds good to me!
Thank you and hello mrs o
That kitchen is fantastic. Great way to make the family comfortable at work.
You have a amazing family. Love the bond you guys have.

You are blessed with a wonderful family. Way to go Dad! There is no greater title in life except for maybe "Mom".

Woop,woop,woop...another long awaited, highly anticipated and way overdue brake job from the maestro of brake management!
Certified safe - that means that as long as you're wearing regulation steel toecaps it won't crush your toes when you drop it on them.

You know how many people don't do half the stuff you do on a brake job. Your rock brother.
Mrs. O cooking’ on cast iron and Eric O hosing the brake clean and seeing all the little Os. A great day!

You are on fire this week with all those new videos - I love it!!!!!
Nice to see a legit maintenance job nowadays. Never get tired of the quality jobs you do.
Love how you have your family at the shop with you! Hope to be able to do that once I expand.
I do like all the electrical diagnosis and repair but there's nothing more satisfying than brakes, suspension, ball joints, and steering at South Main Auto!............

Thank you again!
Sometimes a nice brake job is just the break we need.
Old school brake job, complete with Brake Clean...can't beat that.
I wake up everyday, go open the shop and work on cars.
On my days off I work on my cars.
In my freetime I watch Eric work on cars.
I have no life.

I’m a Toyota master tech so a brake job is simple but yet here I am watching most of the the brake job videos along with all the weird diag videos
LoL "brake clean cam!" Complete with slow motion and music! 😍 anyone else smell it in their head?? Hahaha
Breaks a so satisfying to do, so little work, so easy accessible, so little cost, and huge impact on how well the car handles :)
Never forget where you came from
don’t forget your roots

Last brake job I remember, was Marie, when she did her own.
She could be your brake specialist.
I never met anyone who loves brake clean as much as I do until I started watching SMA videos 😂 Brake Clean just adds that finishing touch like the salt bae does with his sprinkle of salt off the elbow .
I Had To STOP Everything Just To Watch Another BRAKE Video! 🤣 So Many New Videoss This Week!!!!
Didn't realise how much I missed a good old brake job. Never boring!
Wow that was heaven!! I put a new can of brake cleaner in my air freshener by the computer and man was that good!!
Thank you thank you!! Jim.
Nothing better than an SMA break job!!!!
The moment we've been waiting for 5:08 yay😁

Great video Eric. Nice to see the brake clean, Mrs. O, the new kitchen, and can't believe how big your kids are getting!🙂
The show that has everything: information, excitement, special effects, family fun, and gourmet cooking!
5:53 That's a new slo-mo Brakleen action shot! Wow! Super duper cleaning and dissolving action. Noice!
Don't know what it means, but it's gotta be a good thing! I just love people that simplify stuff and not complicate!

Good to see all the O's in the shop,, hot lunch served up, you are indeed a lucky man my friend!
Gotta love a SMA brake job!!!
I do like these brake job ones. The more the merrier. Love that BrakeKleen cam, too. That was great.
I wish my mechanic had the same passion as you when replacing rotors and brake pads. He just slaps everything on and charge me $275
Always enjoy seeing the kids! They are growing up fast. Enjoy them everyday Eric they are gone before you know it.

Classic SMA with family in tow.
Wow, "Brake Clean Interlude". This years winner at the Caan French film Festival. Only SMA can make a car repair video sultry. I'm dying over here!
Paula's donuts from Buffalo! Hell yeah!

In my town we have Sandy's Donuts, probably the best around.
Might just be another brake job...but it's done in a way that only SMA can do. Keep them coming!!
Just in time for the King's birthday.
Enjoyed the brake job. Great to see the kids at the shop. Your little girl favors her mom-- enjoy these kid years, they grow fast.
Oh you used a torque stick. The internet’s coming for ya now!
Fantastic as usual. I don’t care what the video is about. If there is a SMA video I’m watching.
