100%. As an owner of multiple "older" makes & models who enjoys DIY maintenance, I get into lots of "while I'm in here" spots, so the full process is indeed where I end up myself many times. Wes, the meandering is just how it goes, and it is my educational entertainment - we stopped watching TV years ago and selective streaming edutainment is a sanity saver these days... Thanks for doing what you do, how you do it.
If this was a "How to diagnose and fix...." show set up for people to research how to fix a specific issue, then I'd say be more specific. It's not, it a Watch Wes Work video where we come and hang out and let you do all the work.
@@WatchWesWork I agree, the stuff you do is varied & intresting (to me at least) weather its cars, trucks, tractors, large equipment, m/c tools, etc. Thats what keeps me watching.... You never know whats gonna turn up in your shop next..
You are taking us how the repairs or diagnostics go. Sometimes you have to switch to another task due to parts or other reason and I am good with that kind of video.
Don't worry Wes you're doing mighty fine and it's very entertaining, at least that's my opinion, as usual it was a pleasure to watch you work🛠 my man, thanks.👍😊
I’m good with the current format, it’s real life and what happens when you get in to projects instead of the edited, almost scripted appearance of others on RUclips!....that being said are you ever gonna head back out to location “X”? I need a crane update! 😁
Hey Wes...as a former USMC electronics technician, now disabled, I enjoy both the breadth and width of content. I also used to haul for a heavy equipment repair shop so the crawler build was nice to see and also I shared it with my former employer who owned the repair shop (now retired); he is now watching. Content can be so individually specific so just keep plugging away. I think your personality and how you narrate through what you’re doing has something to do with the audience you attract. My wife and I appreciate the family guy running his own business perspective too. As for the speed sensors, clearly they were not reading correctly as you took the reading isolated from the rest of the abs circuit so you had to remove each one individually and clean the seat surface. One of them would have broken regardless. Don’t sweat the small stuff!
Don’t change a thing. I like the fact that you even upload your mistakes and the fact that everyone is learning every day. No, there was no mistake in you replacing left and right speed sensors. BTW - I am not an auto mechanic, or so I want to be, I just like to watch a skilled repairman figuring out issues. Don’t let the “Monday morning quarterbacks” get you down. They are not you and they are not there in the game with your repair. My rant is over...........for now.
So I don't come here for the "how to" because I only have 2 cars, I come here to watch a master and pick up the little tips and tricks so I prefer the multiple cars and randomness, keep up the good work man
The format is fine, we'll watch anything that's educational and entertaining, your working on things we've never seen, so if you can film it we will watch it, thanks
Even if you would have found the damaged wires first, you would have still had to try and remove the passenger side sensor because the voltage measurement was below 100mv due to rust jacking.
The state of those sensors was probably right on the borderline and In the dead of this winter the module probably would have thrown a code for low or intermittent signal and the customer would have been back but this time with an undercarriage covered with ice and slush.
I'm a retired forklift mechanic and like the way you explain complicated electrical problems . Thankfully , forklifts were basically of simple design without needing sophisticated electronics . I pity young mechanics having to need computers and scan tool diagnostics to fix problems . Gone are the days when the back yard mechanic could fix things . Many components cannot be pulled apart , you just have to buy new or take a chance with remanufactured or second hand parts . Well done Wes ! I'm in Australia and happy I don't have to get my hands dirty anymore !
Could also of been the kind of mechanic that when the sensor broke off just told them they needed a new wheel bearing. Have seen that many times . Your a good person
I like what you do no matter what the format. I find you ( and your wife) highly entertaining but also very informative and educational. I very much admire what you do for us and the knowledge you share. Thanks
Hi Wes, it's called Watch Wes Work, not sure you're implying anything else to anyone here. I like watching you fix stuff whatever it is, mechanical, electromechanical or purely powered by electrons. Mrs Wes, different stuff coming in, watching the seasons change through your barn door...it's your work day on film. All good for me.
Hey Wes, been watching for a long time but have never commented. I can't remember working on any vehicle that I didn't have several problems going one after another. I also appreciate the fact that you are willing to admit a mistake and show what happened. I'll tell you what, if I lived in your area you would be working on my vehicles. Doing a great job.
If you're working in a dealership, where it's mostly new or almost new cars, you might run across "one problem". But when you're working on 15-40 year old trucks, more often than not one problem leads to another one. It's really not that unusual to start off replacing u-joints and end up doing a clutch, pinion seal, carrier bearing, then have to re-bush the suspension. You just never know where a "simple" job will take you. It's interesting to see how someone else does it
You asked, so here’s my two cents. I definitely enjoy the videos the way they are, but also miss the CNC machine and circuit board troubleshooting and repair videos. They all have the same problem solving aspect, but still wish there were some more in-depth electronics type work. And CNC machines are always cool.
It is all good! Simple repairs to the multiple issue projects. Having a degree in industrial automation, I really enjoy learning and picking up on some of your diagnostic techniques. Technician 5 days, fixing things on the farm 2 days.....it's all good, even the occasional Huffelpuff 🤔 advertisements.
Wes, I’m not a mechanic nor do I have all the special tools and test equipment you have but I do understand all that you do and explain for us. Very good explanations also! I don’t mind the long videos, but the short ones leave me hangin - haha. Whatever you and the wife put together for us is good for me! Keep it up and stay safe!
Love the current format, it is why I like Andrew Camarata so much, you get to see the full process and you never know what going to all happen in the same video. It is both entertainment and informative.
Your videos are re energizing me to get back into repairing vehicles. As an former USAF aircraft mechanic I love the troubleshooting you do to confirm parts and fixes, as well as the quality way you make repairs. I’m similar that way as I like things working to spec. Keep it up!
I like any format I've seen from you. The short bits all chained together is kinda how I work in my service truck, so lots of small things or big things is familiar to me.
I am not here for a full detailed one item video. I just like to watch (and learn?) anything that comes your way. Repairing a CnC , replacing brakes, tearing into a crawler. Keep the different vids coming! You doing great imho :)
I dont believe you threw the parts cannon at it. Regardless of the open circuit, the speed sensor was putting out less than 100mv. The other one was, but like you said, it wasnt putting out as much as the new sensor. This style of video is much better than a single issue video. Its more 'real world.' Youre almost to 100k!
Keep it as is IMO. Nice to see you try to figure out the problems and with winter coming I'm sure you won't have many more calls to the GM distribution centre ( Ammo store for your parts cannon ;) ). Stay safe, do what you enjoy and have fun
all you vids dude rock. Love the reality. The honesty and candid talk. For me all of your episodes are must watch. Thanks for keeping it clean. Every now and then I can talk my son into watching your show with me....... You might have fixed the abs with the bad diagnostic but that wheel speed sensor would have had the truck back in thr shop before long.
I like the multiple repairs. I would not worry about view count an audience takes a long time to build. I enjoy watching the old Eric O videos and seeing how he tried several formats over the years before he settled into his off the cuff style.
I like this stile too, my only suggestion would be, if it is possible to position the camera, like on the ABS wire repair, there is the problem, next shot, there is my fix. Speaking for myself I wouldn't mind seeing some of what you had to go through from finding the broken wire to fixing the wire.
Wes I enjoy the videos because I find them interesting as they are. I don't have a tractor, forklift or a commercial truck etc... but I still watch. BTW the wire cut on camera looked like it could have been rodent damage. I've had to fix that multiple times where I live as we have pack rats that love to get under the hood and munch.
I've run into that, too. Last year I bought a roll of Honda's anti-rodent tape and use it whenever I'm repairing under the hood. Honda's wire harnesses insulation contained a soy-based product that rodents can detect and enjoy eating. The tape has capsaicin pepper ingrained in it. Where I live used to be farmland long ago so there's plenty of rodents still around. It adds extra security on non-Honda repairs.
I try to do it in the order that it happens in real life. Sometimes it's too confusing and I have to move thing around in the edit. You guys usually pick up on that when I do it.
Hello Wes, 1st of al: greetings from Romania! I enjoy watching your videos in every format, I especially enjoyed wathching you bringing up to life old abandoned trucks, forklifts, cranes and that kind of stuff. You seem to be a really honest man that really loves his job by tackling all sorts of difficult mechanical problems. Wish all the best to you and your family!
As always, love the videos. I like that you post a good mix. I am really enjoying the crawler rebuild series and today's video was perfect especially in regard to the diagnostics and short discussion on the ability to program. I really appreciate the fact that you seem to show everything, it helps me as a young person in the field remind myself that things don't always go as planned. Thank you for the inspiration to fix things correctly and run proper diagnostics. I put in my two weeks at my current shop yesterday so that I can move to a more updated (and organized) shop. On to better things!
@Watch Wes Work as I’m in the, “this is just entertainment,” camp I prefer the story telling of all the issues with a vehicle in one go. I agree that if this was a, “learn how to be a mechanic,” thing the one-shot issue-specific videos would be better. Just depends on how you want to put the videos together and the product/entertainment you want to create. You’re ultimately the one doing the work. My wife is also Hufflepuff, just ask her about it. So I feel you in that. She also says you should continue to include those jokes in the videos. Also, also, just watching you fix things, especially the rusty rescue videos, helped encourage me to actually fix a lawn mower that’s been sitting idle in my barn for three years. Started with a carb replacement, and ended up firing the parts cannon at the ignition system, but you know what, it runs great now. I have use of it, and enjoy it, which I couldn’t do before. So thanks for the encouragement you didn’t know you were providing.
Hi Wes, I watch your channel for many reasons and like the way you present them, even though some might be a bit all over the place! It's not a problem for me, but if someone had hit the tubes looking for a fix on a particular vehicle then I guess they may be slightly frustrated but that ain't your veiwer base. Just keep doin whatcha do, we will keep on watchin :)
Love it, don't change a thing. For me, knowledge is power, I learn a lot from your videos. Even if it doesn't apply to what I drive, it may apply to a friends machine. You're on the right track, regards from Indiana.
I enjoy all of your content, I like the fact that one video will be on a lawn mower carb and the next is you tearing apart a crawler. I just keeps me interested
I like how you operate, you do a good job. No complaints. Just at the end there, the wife peers over my shoulder, says what the hell is he doing?! What you mean he’s patting the dog. She’s like ohhhhhhhhh. 🤣
Love seeing this sort of video, as it shows the sorts of problems you can come across during a repair and how out of hand a simple repair can end up becoming. I also think that you made the right choice on changing the abs sensors, as there was obviously a problem with those, as well as the damaged wire. With regards how that could have happened, I've had similar, with a stick getting jammed up in the wheel guard and damaging a wiring loom
You haven’t made a bad video yet! What you may find mundane is always of interest to someone because your audience ranges from beginner to expert. Your problem solving is our education and we are very appreciative.
Keep the vids as they are, all machines all problems get sorted one way or another. I would watch paint dry on your vids just for the humour of there's your problem lady 😂😂. Keep up the fantastic work. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and healthy 🇬🇧
Most vehicle repairs start after a number of things go bad and add up to a breaking point where a customer or owner says “it’s time to get this all fixed”. So having multiple things to correct is natural for me so please stay with your format, it’s a great journey and I enjoy the lessons you demonstrate.
Liked the vid, admiring all the knowledge you have and I am always learning something new. The rust is same here and the multiple faults as well. So, very satisfied on the content you create. Thanks and keep them comin' :)
When you first checked the speed sensors they failed the Mv test. So you did right in replacing them. You tested and they failed. No parts cannon fired here in my opinion.
Great video, Wes. Like the way you take us through what really happens, good and bad. Real life. Don't change. Also, Bangladesh workshop is what normally happens, as well. Now while watching you do your thing it's "bonus footage" when Mrs. Wes makes an appearance and banters with you. Also real life.
Don't change anything Wes, you're an honest mechanic that shows the warts and all of every job, we love your format and customers trust you. For what its worth I thought the speed sensor call was right anyway, the sensors were showing just over or well under anyway.
I'm enjoying the current format. Wes does a good job explaining how things work and how to test. I'm learning a lot about modern cars and the new tech in them. The family story is interesting too. This has become one of my five most watched channels.
Love the videos wes keep up the hard work!! You do an amazing job! I love how you do the video even if all over the place or not. Either way its very entertaining!!
It's OK to do a multi episode now and then. If you're buried in harvest season, how about some farm equipment. Everyone does truck and auto repair videos, how about sprinkling in another tractor, combine or harvester, even a repair on a manure spreader would be off the beaten path. Anyway, one of the things that makes your channel better than others is that you are not one dimensional and work on just about everything. Keep up the great content.
Truth is both wheel sensors where low voltage so one was bad other was going that way. Probably needed them or very shortly would have needed them both.
This is exactly what I thought. You'd tell the customer "The module was toast, one wheel sensor was stuffed too & the other one was well on the way to just giving up the ghost. So I put the new module in, cleaned & carbide scraped the seats of the wheel sensors & put two brand new ones in. Tested. All ok!" He would've been happy with that I'm sure. If you drive these oversize Tonka toys they need to be able to stop, especially in wet or muddy conditions.
I like the format, and watch because I enjoy learning your critical thinking process along with the entertainment factor! Your explanations have helped me understand much more about how modern car electrical systems work, thanks!!
My 10 cents - over here in Europe, we're finding more and more wiring damage caused by rodents; manufacturers are trying to use less oil-based wire covering, in favour of something more environmentally friendly, the only problem is some rodents are attracted to the smells being given off and are having a quick snack.
You don't need to over-think the format. It's been great whether it's a sort of focused repair or a bunch of stuff mixed together. It's a show, and it's reality, but it's not a reality show. We learn and get entertained from you at the same time. Thanks for the effort you put into making these videos.
Love the content. I enjoyed this type of vid showing several different things, and the fact it was under 30mins vs the ones that approach an hour. Like seeing Max also.
I have a similar view, although the duration is not a problem for me. I am not a member of The Short Attention Span Club, so let those electrons flow. 20-65 minutes be Enjoyed. I enjoy you speaking to adults about our vehicles, wheeled or tracked.! And your good will work as well, helping those STOP is a good thing.
I enjoy the loose format. For me the charm of the channel is seeing the reality of the jobs, warts and all. A heavily edited narrow focus video wouldn't be as much fun.
I like following the whole story and your current format. If there's a main premise or problem you want to focus on and put in the title, why not just put the timestamp on that part so folks can skip to it if it's someone looking for a tutorial? Best of both worlds. Keep up the good work!
I could do that, but the different repairs are never separated chronologically. For example, when a vehicle comes in for several issues, I like to test them all before fixing any so I can just order parts once. Then I fix then based on when I get the parts, which can vary by days or even weeks.
Don't beat yourself up about it. Looks like whoever mangled that wire did a quick little DIY repair job before the boss figured it out. Then they finished that pump. Anyway your test proved those sensors were about shot and the surfaces needed cleaned. That guy would have his truck in your shop again shortly if those sensors were not replaced. One of your best customers is one of your best customers because of what's seen in this video. Honest, reliable, does quality work, great customer service and I'd wager that you're prices are fair. It's hard to find a quality mechanic like yourself so take pride in that. Great video. I appreciate the knowledge and a few laughs.
The voltage was low on both of them so the sensors would of needed fixed soon anyways . Dont second guess yourself you didnt do anything wrong with going with the obvious first :-)
Everything you do is a learning experience for me, I'm 73 and quit working on cars when we bought our 2005 Nissan and gave our 1994 Honda to our granddaughter, just to much electronics for me.
Attention, customers with locking lug nuts... Put the locking "key" in the damn glove box & stop aggravating you mechanic! Oh, and also, keep a pair of gloves in the glove box, it would be so damn, literal!
i keep mine in the center console when i remember i try to put it out in the open or just hand it to them but sometimes they just don't come with the car
When I had wheel locks I always kept the lock in a compartment and when I took the car for service I always put it in either the coin holder or shift boot.
Or ditch the locking lug nuts altogether. If you have a fancy car with high dollar rims, and you live in the rough part of town then MAYBE you have reason to use them. No one is going to steal the wheels off of your 5 year old grand caravan... When I bought my truck new, I told them to remove the locking nuts and install normal ones before I took delivery. I absolutely despise them.

This format works for me. It's what happens when you take a vehicle for diagnosis and repair. Without a thorough search it's only half a job.

You seem to be a really honest man that really loves his job by tackling all sorts of difficult mechanical problems. Wish all the best to you and your family!
Watching your channel is like hanging out with a friend while he talks about his job and how he fixes things.
As always, love the videos. I like that you post a good mix. I am really enjoying the crawler rebuild series and today's video was perfect especially in regard to the diagnostics and short discussion on the ability to program. I really appreciate the fact that you seem to show everything, it helps me as a young person in the field remind myself that things don't always go as planned.
Thank you for the inspiration to fix things correctly and run proper diagnostics. I put in my two weeks at my current shop yesterday so that I can move to a more updated (and organized) shop. On to better things!
@Watch Wes Work as I’m in the, “this is just entertainment,” camp I prefer the story telling of all the issues with a vehicle in one go. I agree that if this was a, “learn how to be a mechanic,” thing the one-shot issue-specific videos would be better. Just depends on how you want to put the videos together and the product/entertainment you want to create. You’re ultimately the one doing the work.
My wife is also Hufflepuff, just ask her about it. So I feel you in that. She also says you should continue to include those jokes in the videos.
Also, also, just watching you fix things, especially the rusty rescue videos, helped encourage me to actually fix a lawn mower that’s been sitting idle in my barn for three years. Started with a carb replacement, and ended up firing the parts cannon at the ignition system, but you know what, it runs great now. I have use of it, and enjoy it, which I couldn’t do before. So thanks for the encouragement you didn’t know you were providing.
Keep doing what your doing Wes always a pleasure to watch
Hi Wes, I watch your channel for many reasons and like the way you present them, even though some might be a bit all over the place! It's not a problem for me, but if someone had hit the tubes looking for a fix on a particular vehicle then I guess they may be slightly frustrated but that ain't your veiwer base.
Just keep doin whatcha do, we will keep on watchin :)
Love it, don't change a thing. For me, knowledge is power, I learn a lot from your videos. Even if it doesn't apply to what I drive, it may apply to a friends machine. You're on the right track, regards from Indiana.
I enjoy all of your content, I like the fact that one video will be on a lawn mower carb and the next is you tearing apart a crawler. I just keeps me interested
Thank you!
Hey Wes, I liked this format just fine. I'm happy to watch more of these multi issue fixes. Thanks for making such great content!!!
I like it when your videos are "real life", going after whatever as vehicle comes to you. Doesn't need to be focused on a specific issue.
I like how you operate, you do a good job. No complaints. Just at the end there, the wife peers over my shoulder, says what the hell is he doing?! What you mean he’s patting the dog. She’s like ohhhhhhhhh. 🤣
Love seeing this sort of video, as it shows the sorts of problems you can come across during a repair and how out of hand a simple repair can end up becoming.
I also think that you made the right choice on changing the abs sensors, as there was obviously a problem with those, as well as the damaged wire. With regards how that could have happened, I've had similar, with a stick getting jammed up in the wheel guard and damaging a wiring loom
Hey Wes I’m a 2nd year auto electrician and I love watching these types of videos I learn a lot from you so please keep up with these types of videos!
You haven’t made a bad video yet! What you may find mundane is always of interest to someone because your audience ranges from beginner to expert. Your problem solving is our education and we are very appreciative.
Keep the vids as they are, all machines all problems get sorted one way or another. I would watch paint dry on your vids just for the humour of there's your problem lady 😂😂. Keep up the fantastic work. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and healthy 🇬🇧
Most vehicle repairs start after a number of things go bad and add up to a breaking point where a customer or owner says “it’s time to get this all fixed”. So having multiple things to correct is natural for me so please stay with your format, it’s a great journey and I enjoy the lessons you demonstrate.
Liked the vid, admiring all the knowledge you have and I am always learning something new. The rust is same here and the multiple faults as well. So, very satisfied on the content you create. Thanks and keep them comin' :)
Thanks 👍
You said it. The vehicles you get in have multiple problems. I like watching you tackle all the issues on the vehicle before it leaves your shop.
Like this format...get in some junk and then move out a working running vehicle!
I like the all over the place videos they are not boring
When you first checked the speed sensors they failed the Mv test. So you did right in replacing them. You tested and they failed. No parts cannon fired here in my opinion.
Great video, Wes. Like the way you take us through what really happens, good and bad. Real life. Don't change. Also, Bangladesh workshop is what normally happens, as well.
Now while watching you do your thing it's "bonus footage" when Mrs. Wes makes an appearance and banters with you. Also real life.
Hi Wes, your vids are great show us everything, fantastic source of info and knowledge. Many thanks.
Don't change anything Wes, you're an honest mechanic that shows the warts and all of every job, we love your format and customers trust you. For what its worth I thought the speed sensor call was right anyway, the sensors were showing just over or well under anyway.
Show me everything. When I stop driving cars that were built in the Dinosaur era I'll know how to fix the new ones.
I'm enjoying the current format. Wes does a good job explaining how things work and how to test. I'm learning a lot about modern cars and the new tech in them. The family story is interesting too. This has become one of my five most watched channels.
Love the videos wes keep up the hard work!! You do an amazing job! I love how you do the video even if all over the place or not. Either way its very entertaining!!
It's OK to do a multi episode now and then. If you're buried in harvest season, how about some farm equipment. Everyone does truck and auto repair videos, how about sprinkling in another tractor, combine or harvester, even a repair on a manure spreader would be off the beaten path. Anyway, one of the things that makes your channel better than others is that you are not one dimensional and work on just about everything. Keep up the great content.
Truth is both wheel sensors where low voltage so one was bad other was going that way. Probably needed them or very shortly would have needed them both.
This is exactly what I thought. You'd tell the customer "The module was toast, one wheel sensor was stuffed too & the other one was well on the way to just giving up the ghost. So I put the new module in, cleaned & carbide scraped the seats of the wheel sensors & put two brand new ones in. Tested. All ok!"
He would've been happy with that I'm sure. If you drive these oversize Tonka toys they need to be able to stop, especially in wet or muddy conditions.
I told the customer there was a low chance of getting them out.
I like the format, and watch because I enjoy learning your critical thinking process along with the entertainment factor! Your explanations have helped me understand much more about how modern car electrical systems work, thanks!!
My 10 cents - over here in Europe, we're finding more and more wiring damage caused by rodents; manufacturers are trying to use less oil-based wire covering, in favour of something more environmentally friendly, the only problem is some rodents are attracted to the smells being given off and are having a quick snack.
We see that all the time too!
You don't need to over-think the format. It's been great whether it's a sort of focused repair or a bunch of stuff mixed together.
It's a show, and it's reality, but it's not a reality show. We learn and get entertained from you at the same time. Thanks for the effort you put into making these videos.
Love the content. I enjoyed this type of vid showing several different things, and the fact it was under 30mins vs the ones that approach an hour. Like seeing Max also.
Glad you enjoyed!
I have a similar view, although the duration is not a problem for me. I am not a member of The Short Attention Span Club, so let those electrons flow. 20-65 minutes be Enjoyed. I enjoy you speaking to adults about our vehicles, wheeled or tracked.! And your good will work as well, helping those STOP is a good thing.
I enjoy the loose format. For me the charm of the channel is seeing the reality of the jobs, warts and all. A heavily edited narrow focus video
wouldn't be as much fun.
Wes I would watch you paint a house as long as you included commentary
I like following the whole story and your current format. If there's a main premise or problem you want to focus on and put in the title, why not just put the timestamp on that part so folks can skip to it if it's someone looking for a tutorial? Best of both worlds. Keep up the good work!
I could do that, but the different repairs are never separated chronologically. For example, when a vehicle comes in for several issues, I like to test them all before fixing any so I can just order parts once. Then I fix then based on when I get the parts, which can vary by days or even weeks.
I have no problem with the format of this video...no need to regiment them into one fix per vid.
I like the format of this video. It's real life. Some vehicles have more gremlins than others.
Nothing Wrong Wes Do What You Want Its A Good Cold Soon Protect The Rats
Don't beat yourself up about it. Looks like whoever mangled that wire did a quick little DIY repair job before the boss figured it out. Then they finished that pump.
Anyway your test proved those sensors were about shot and the surfaces needed cleaned. That guy would have his truck in your shop again shortly if those sensors were not replaced.
One of your best customers is one of your best customers because of what's seen in this video. Honest, reliable, does quality work, great customer service and I'd wager that you're prices are fair. It's hard to find a quality mechanic like yourself so take pride in that.
Great video. I appreciate the knowledge and a few laughs.
No way a simple repair how to could be more interesting
I like 1 video covering multiple items but I got lost think it was the end of the video when you started showing the beautiful Mrs Wes.
Love your vids brother
you can't choose what comes in the shop, so you just choose what you want to post, I do like it all
The voltage was low on both of them so the sensors would of needed fixed soon anyways . Dont second guess yourself you didnt do anything wrong with going with the obvious first :-)
Everything you do is a learning experience for me, I'm 73 and quit working on cars when we bought our 2005 Nissan and gave our 1994 Honda to our granddaughter, just to much electronics for me.
Attention, customers with locking lug nuts...
Put the locking "key" in the damn glove box & stop aggravating you mechanic!
Oh, and also, keep a pair of gloves in the glove box, it would be so damn, literal!
i keep mine in the center console when i remember i try to put it out in the open or just hand it to them but sometimes they just don't come with the car
When I had wheel locks I always kept the lock in a compartment and when I took the car for service I always put it in either the coin holder or shift boot.
I bought the Nissan wheel locks for a 04' G35 when new and they came with a special plastic thing that kept the key on the lug wrench.
@@HoboJoeGarage I'd pull it out and lay it on the seat where they would have to sit on it.
Or ditch the locking lug nuts altogether. If you have a fancy car with high dollar rims, and you live in the rough part of town then MAYBE you have reason to use them. No one is going to steal the wheels off of your 5 year old grand caravan...
When I bought my truck new, I told them to remove the locking nuts and install normal ones before I took delivery. I absolutely despise them.
I like the format of this type of video, shows what happens in the real world of multiple issues. Great job, thanks Wes.
