Electronic parking brakes, the solution to a problem that never existed..........
It's just there to have another warning light or error code list.
Can't wait to see 1 of those fail. Looks like water can easily intrude in the motor...
They are even using electric parking brakes on some Z-turn mowers. Royal pain when the battery is dead and you have to try to load it on a trailer to take to the repair shop.
@@ngnmech My 2014 Toro has an electric parking brake. If the battery is dead (or in my case, water somehow got into the connector and bridged two pins - a known issue on the model) you can manually actuate it.
American engineers....complicating simple things once again.
Ford Engineer #1: "You know those electronic blend door actuators that go bad all the time? Let's put them on the rear brakes too!"
Ford Engineer #2: "Haha! Awesome idea!" - High-Five's each other.
Hahahahaaa!! Ford Engineer #3: Hey, guys! I just invented a new kind of part nobody can make, made of a material that doesn't exist, and we're gonna use it in all our vehicles!"
Sadistic Bastards
I used to watch a guy do brake jobs, now I watch a guy watch another guy do brake jobs. That's progress!
That funny I was thing same thing I love lol ,
Well I’ll be dipped.
@@thewanderingsole5774 It just makes a guy feel all warm and fuzzy. No. That's not right. I don't know.
That sounds like reverse progress to me
The American way, haven't you seen road work where 5 guys are watching one guy shovel😁
If someone actually was legitimately concerned about doing only one wheel, then I really am giving up all hope on people.
“Just open this package of both sides of brakes” “then install the side that seems worse” “then throw out the other set” like what? Could you imagine someone thinking that?
My brother 40 years ago. One side rear brake job. My dad was pissed at him!!!
@@DavidM-yv9js was it his own vehicle?
@@aterack833 Yes it was him car. 1970 Buick Riviera. Drum brakes on four wheels. My brother changed just one rear drum brake because pad was worn out and making noise. My dad was pissed at him and told him why both rear brakes needed to be changed together. Laziness.
@@DavidM-yv9js I hate drum brakes so much there’s a 25% chance i would have done that too considering I’m on sand and jacking a car up is a royal, there’s also a 25% chance I would sell or scrap the thing if cars we’re selling as cheap as they are now
I always laugh my ass off whenever Eric does a Scotty impression
SMA brake job videos are like a comfy warm blanket ❤️
I dont know about a blanket but it sure is good to watch eric
Or some fuzzy mittens while sitting in a folding chair 😂
That was savage!
Especially when the mechanic sounds so soothing and looks so good. His wife is lucky.
So guess I should say watch him work
(fluid film appears)
Me: YOU FORGOT THE ...
Eric: Baaaaaa!
Me: There it is. 😁
"You are free to pay me any amount over my billed rate that you deem correct." is what I used to say. I was in IT/hardware and LOVED those people. They were the ones who made cookies, bought lunch, and were customers for life if you treated them well.
Everyone tells me I should charge more, but I usually work for practically free aside from parts, so it’s understandable
Another YTer proudly announce he charges book time in labour, even if it only takes him half the time...plus he charges a higher than average rate to begin with...
Seems to think this is OK. Wonder if he still charged book time when ot takes him twice as long?
It's a Classic Friday morning with Eric O.! "" Brake for Breakfast club "".Cool stuff
LOL I watch on my wife's RUclips profile.
he thinks I am a hot woman
Reading the South Main Auto comments is almost as good as watching the vids. SMA has the best viewers!!!
I agree. I don't think we're so tough.
“Took a lot of years to get it like that sweetie” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 my mom is a smoker and that joke killed me
I got to tell you I think you're going to be the next Scotty you already have a trademark remember be yours if I can do it you can do it thanks for watching 👍
Hahahahaha one of the ads I saw on this video was Scotty Kilmer yelling about some OBD dongle
This is the first time I've felt short changed about not seeing any adds when I watch youtube. :)
I saw Fabreze car air freshener. The google knows they talked air fresheners.
Same
Me too.
same here.. lol.. wth... RUclips too funny
For the skill set you possess, your customer is correct. You do under charge. You charge the rates they charge here in the Philippines. No wonder Mrs. O got that nice buck. She didn't want the kids starving.
I almost made the Trek with the daughters Durango to get the AC Diagnosed. Then she sold it!
@@thewayidoit8895 It was probably the TIPM. Or, a bad ground.
@@jimbeckettplay right. I read about those being bad. I wasn't 8n a position to grab one from a yard and wasn't buying a new one. Haha. I have a 2015 Ram 3500 and seeing electrical gremlins after a year of ownership.
I used to work at a shop where we used plastic seat covers on the customers cars. Half the time we used them to protect the car from us, and he other half to protect us from the car. I chuckled when you talked about the cigarette smell, and the tell tale blue haze they leave behind.
If the last guy turned it clockwise, it must be your turn to turn it counterclockwise.
16:19 I bet that driver gets free parking at the airport with a wing like that!
How many SMA brake job videos have I watched now? All of them! Why do I keep watching? Eric O of course! You never know what he is going to say next. And occasionally I learn something new, like how to set the electronic E brake to maintenance mode.
You're lucky it just needed brakes. The DCT transmission on these are an absolute paper weight!
Patience sir, patience.
@@SouthMainAuto ..the customer should not need to panic, SMA don't charge enough anyways, ...apparently. ;-)
The powershit.
Give it a month or 2 it's still under warranty
Eacapes don't have a DCT.
Napa doesn't sponsor you, you sponsor Napa.
Yes, I am starting to think Eric has partial interest in his local Napa!
He has mentioned that the local Napa franchisee is a friend.
That customer gave you a HUGE compliment. "You should raise your prices" Is another way of them saying " I love your honesty and great work Eric".
I never tell people to raise their prices, no matter how nice they are!
For electric park brake on the 2017+ you can just use a C clamp to push in the piston. You don’t need a special tool that’s required on the 2016 and earlier models.
Who is this gal “Ginger Lee” you keep referring to?
“Nobody does it like Ginger Lee!” 🎶😂
6:15 - "We're bottomed out...... I've said that a time or two." Hahhhahaha
Such a classic Eric!
The last video was a Dodge Journey, this one is a Ford Escape. Are you a Steve Perry fan?
Don't Stop Believin'
If I knew a mechanic around me that was a good as Eric and charged his prices I would not do any work on my cars. Finding a local mechanic that you trust to do the job right and not perform unneeded work is difficult.
"The RUclips people are savage, savage." Followed by a Scotty impression and fluid film. LOL
"it's bottomed out, I've said that a time or two" hahahaha
LMAO!!! Mines usually..."it's in as far as it can go"... sorry miss!
Mine usually- "Am I hurting you?" From my weight. Pretty heavy guy.
You’re kidding!!! I’ve been doing one wheel break jobs just like you ever since I started watching you. It seems to work for me.
"You don't know the RUclips people Jay, they are SAVAGE. Oh, the women are all hot though." Why thank you! As a woman viewer I appreciate that. LOL!!
Somebody probably already posted this, but just a tip. The pistons will push in with maintenance mode on. They can be turned 1 direction a little to accommodate for after market pads that may have the peg on the back of the inside pads. With factory pads, you do not need to grease the calipers as the pads have that sticky silencer material on them.
So while the vehicle is in Brake maintenance mode, your saying the pistons can be pushed in and don't need to be turned?
I left Kilmer, I like more in depth that SMAC gives me. Scotty is just a shill for Toyota and other Asian cars, and talks nothing but trash. He never really does complete tear downs with him showing you how clear your headlights with gum wrappers. He has a garage full of equipment but we only see Kilmer giving advice for removing snow from the windshield using left over ms.Lee magic tea bags (knowing full well it hardly ever snows in Houston Texas. I’m waiting for him to promote green tea as a fuel additive also from Ms. Lee line of drink or clean with the tea she makes.
SOUTH MAIN AUTO CHANNEL is the BEST auto repair channel to watch!
Scotty videos were fast and entertaining, but I found his habit of skipping over important detail annoying. He gave neophytes huge confidence. Enough confidence to make glaring errors, like using compression fittings on brake lines, or replace timing belts without aligning timing marks.
"We're bottomed out.
Said that a time or two."
Stuff like this is why I love this channel 😂😂😂😂😂
I've had experience with Chinese rotors that didn't make it to 6 months. It was all they had. Just grabbing and vibrating. Replaced with North American rotors and no more problems. So, how can you determine which rotors won't be bad in a few months?
( How do you do Hollywood U-turns with no manual parking brake lever?)
Great stuff. Thanks.
That Scotty impression was hilarious! Coupled with Scotty yelling at me in an advert for an OBD scanner, that pretty did me! 😂
I can see it now. Studly Jay's Auto Repair RUclips channel
Honestly I can always go for a good brake job video. What I mean by good, is ANY SMA brake job video.
The service data is from the Southern Hemisphere where clockwise is the other direction, or maybe they intended metric clockwise which is different than SAE clockwise.
Don't be silly! The other clockwise is anti-clockwise, just like a Chinese to English instruction manual told me years ago assembling a computer case.
"Only $1,000?"
"Well, you had to deal with Jay doing some of the work and his short test drive so you got the special discount"
If Josh and Jay can do it, you can do it too !!!! If NAPA and Dorman are not sponsors - DO you have any sponsors ????? Inquiring minds want to know !!!!! Good brake job, you didn't do much of it, but well done !!!!!! I have found that when your prices are reasonable, and you give some freebies, you tend to get more business !!!! Small calendars and pens with your name on - are a very good investment when given freely to the customers !!!!!! On repeat customers, a 10% off your bill, for being a good customer, pays big dividends in the long run !!!!!! No charge for the advice !!!!!!!!
I love your segues. Always catch me off-guard. Question for you: does anyone in your town watch your videos like, "Hey, that's my house you just passed by?"
Factory torque spec is 129, NOT 66. Might want to call your customer guys.
torque wrench on a brake video? first time ever other than an axle nut
I just did my 04 Denali rear brakes and rotors friday. night . first time in 8 years. pistons pushed strait in but were tight as frig. test drive let the smoke out both sides. I should have known. LOL> 2 new calipers 152 auto zone. meh. smoother than a peeled grape now.
Jump through hoops just to release the parking brake for service??? Engineers have collectives heads up collective butts
Engineers are studying a computerized head insertion system for the next generation.
Redicioulous I agree but these are a breeze & dyi friendly compared to other manufacturers !
You want us to believe that you done both brake jobs but we know that you truly only one side brake jobs. We heard things around town that you're Mr "One Side Brake Job" O up at your shop. You can hide from the truth from us. We know everything about your brake jobs. All kidding aside can't wait to see more.
Brakes done right! Thanks for sharing Eric!
Eric O. - Excellent Brake Job Video, per usual.
Jay - 4 out of 10. You are a newbie! Even after over 2 years at SMA. DON'T you EVER cut short our brake job test drive around Avoca. (Wife thinks you are kinda cute..... for a New Yorker)
Jason - Did the tires. OK
Mrs. O - Did the children and everything else at SMA
😢😢😢 NO BRAKE CLEAN ON AN SMA BRAKE JOB VIDEO 😢😢😢
Scotty WHO? - WHO CARES..........
NAPA ?????? Really not a sponsor of the Show YET? Noobs!
Well with ppls pockets stimulated now with thos stimulus checks they must be willing to dig deeper lol 😂😂
To borrow a phrase from the movie Crocodile Dundee. That's not a brake test route. THIS is a brake test route. You have to search Audi R8 stolen Newcastle. You will see the greatest real life hammering of a sports car in the suburbs ever at the hands of a no good car thief.
Ahh yes the arm chair mechanics they know everything like always!
@miguel Arellano ya, you rock. Like a pinto!
That's okay, some of these guys are funny.
@@nmatthew7469 have an electrical question. Can you help solve it?
Fyi, Scotty has been "repairing" cars for about 60 years, a LITTLE bit longer than a "young" whipper snapper like ERIC O..
@@nmatthew7469 now you funny too like a P0172
Watch out for corrosion in the holes where the plastic guides for the slide pins fit. Mine were so bad that it squeezed the guides tight onto the pins causing one of the pads to wear prematurely. If the pins don't move easily in the guides, replace the guides after removing the corrosion and greasing (silicon) the holes.
Hi Eric, Do you ever just start talking to yourself in the shop and then suddenly have to run for your camera when somebody else notices?
I think they all know he does these videos...maybe if customers come some of them would think its a bit funky lol
Yes, raise prices, anticipate the inflation from all the covid stimulus money.
Piston movin' tool brought to you by Mac tools, rust cleaning brush brought to you by Weber grills. (not a sponsor)
Your customer probably does not know about all the thousands that you earn off your you tube channel,,, :-)
Ah crap and I thought I was the first one here. Evidently there’s some real die hard SMA fans out there.
YA heard em ladies!!
go get him....
you know he's good
he's been trained in the classic reach around!
Best way to start your day is a little SMA !!!
16:22
With a wing like that on the rear deck lid, that Alero could go Aero at highway speeds.
SMA and coffee, great start to a Friday
In my case, SMA and a couple beers (in my shop less than 50 yards from the house), great end to a Friday!
Oh my god... "Bob's your Uncle!", I knew if i used it enough it would catch on in the states!
Did the customer give Jay one of those sexy winks and say "How YOU doin?"?
Is there a similar owner routine for putting Honda e-parking brakes into service mode?
...Following...
Trashed brakes at 33k miles on a 2018...guess I'm doing pretty well with my 17 Escape at 55k then.
Getting a little crusty though. Stupid road salt.
I have no experience with USA driving conditions. Is that too low milage for it to be replaced already ? Mines is about 70,000 km average for front wheel bearings and 50,000 km average per brake pads change. Granted 70,000 km is 4 years and 50,000 km is roughly 3 years.
@@wonniewarrior I’m around 60,000m (100,000km) on my 3.5 year old truck. My brakes aren’t anywhere close to needing replacement, but I’m on the southern end of the salt belt. I also don’t do much driving in heavy traffic. Manual transmission probably helps some, too.
@@jeffs2809 I am so surprised your USA cars are allowed to have so much rust in them in critical places. In Australia they would have been condemned. I had a holden commodore with rust in the silt rail, Vicroads (state road authority) saw it and wrote it off. I also had a Ford Falcon with rust around the windscreen. When the windscreen got replaced, I had to sign a waiver that I was responsible for any injuries if the windscreen popped out due to less adhesion to rust area. He made a valiant effort to treat the rust on the spot and cover it with rubber cement. It is mandatory to have snow chains on cars if in snowy areas as we dont allow salting on Australian roads.
@@wonniewarrior yeah, most states in USA have no routine safety inspection. The ones I’ve had experience with, didn’t seem to care much about body rust. I’m not even sure they’d care much about frame rot. I lived in Germany for a couple years & they were a lot more strict than anything I’ve seen in the USA.
@@jeffs2809 In my state of Victoria, your car only needs a roadworthy when ever it changes hands (transfer), or ordered by Vicroads or police. In NSW, it a basic roadworthy test every year. Each state has their own rules. What legal in 1 state may be illegal in another state such as towball weight rating, trailer length, what type of bullbar allowed between each states and if allowed to have a radar detector.
Any SMA video is a good video, no such thing as a botch job!!
0:56 "Bob's your uncle" haha
Yep Classic Upstate line. My boss says it all the time.
It's a comment we use here in Australia, too.
Did you tell her that you are RUclips rich? Thatll shut er up!
You won't get any mean comments from me. Much respect.
Tell that customer that you accept donations.:)
When I saw "gravy job," I immediately thought it was going to be sarcasm. Nope. Just an easy brake job.
Ha ha ha. I always knew manufacturers were smart enough to find a way to allow a brake job without a scan tool. Just when I thought they didn't care about independent service centers.
that stabilizer bushing ain't looking so great...Wait--did Eric O forget to use the brake cleaning spray???
Why you didnt change brake fluid?
Eric: if someone doesn't complain about your prices at least once a week, your prices are too low!
15:13 LOOOOOOOL that could be taken another way.
Your customer came prepared to see a bill much bigger, "unexpected charges", she had her "GRUMP" game all worked up. You surprised her with a smaller bill. A left handed compliment was all she could muster up. I get them all the time.
Instructions were for the southern hemisphere.
I am glad the customer opted to buy a 2 wheeled brake job. I can watch these all day! As much as I knock Ford, nice they have a service mode that does not require a higher end diagnostic tool.
Don't ya know, the customer is always right. A great job is hardly ever cheap.
Oh don't worry about the video mister o. It was informative, funny, and a little different. All qualities we sma die hard fan have come to enjoy.
It was fun doing the ride along with you and Jay.
Eric, it looks like those caliper piston faces are on a 180-degree cam--not threaded. At 6:15 in the vid as you continue to rotate the puck CCW it begins to rise back out of the bore. I could be wrong, because sometimes I see flying elephants... Cheers and be well!
Single wheel brake job, now that's funny.
...It's only a one wheel Brake Job on camera.......unless there is a possible "explosion" like with that Mazda 6.... with it giving him a OEM OMG....
As the saying goes , " a clean car is a sign of a sick mind " 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It seems every town in New York state now has a dollar general
That’s cause after getting taxed every which way that’s all you can afford to spend on anything.
Every little town in EVERY state.
Service data is never wrong...just not updated...lol. Change her bill, here's your $2000 bill....why is my bill so high...never happy
Another interesting video. Love the eligible bachelor thing. With all the exposure, he should be hooking up soon, if he hasn't already. 😁 Bottomed out a time or two. 😜 I really hate the electronic parking brake. Yep, fixing a problem that didn't exist. My 2015 impala has the piston that turns to the right to get it in. I was perfectly happy with the manual e brake. So, in an emergency, the e brake is either off or totally on. You can't gradually apply it. Stupid idea. My 89 F-150 still has the dimmer button on the floor, and a nice e brake pedal. Still works just fine.
You know you're treating your customers right when they inform you that you're not charging enough.
I had the same issue when I was in business. It's the curse of small business where your reputation is worth more than making tons of money.
Thanks, Erick! Now i can change my 22' Maverick Lariat brakes when it's time. Recently, Rick (Ford Boss Me), posted a video about resetting the BMS without a scan tool and I've been wondering if there was a "secret code" for brake service mode.
Also, most modern vehicles have a cabin air filter and it can cause excessive fogging up inside because the filter holds moisture. Just use the A\C year-round to dehumidify the air, even when it's cold outside. Lastly, I get a film buildup on the inside of my windows and no one smokes in my Maverick. I hear that it's from the plastics "off gassing". Jay Leno says he uses a degreaser like Simple Green first then a glass cleaner.
(Update) My 22' Maverick with push button start, won't go into service mode. So I'm back to square one for now.
Rear brakes @ 33,706 miles??? Something must be wrong with that electronic parking brake system.
I check my phone daily for your videos always great
Straight mechanical work...85.00, Computer related work 120.00, Wiring 95.00, Straight troubleshooting 125.00 if you get the job, that goes to 90.00.
Does the same procedure apply for the 2020 Escape SEL AWD (1.5 I3)?
Also, is anything special needed for the brake fluid flush?
I've been watching SMA since the 30K viewer days, and I never get tired of the brake videos. Sometimes I think I have a problem. :D
But Eric, you could have cleaned the hub with Brake Clean before spraying it with Fluid Film. It would have made viewers like me happy, no so much because it was necessary but rather because we like to see and hear the Brake Clean going on. Just sayin.....
🍺🍺🏍✌️🖖🏼🐶🐱
You and Scotty are the best automotive wise LOL
Love the little towns I live in a town of about 623 people and I think half of them are crazy
There's nearly always a casting mark on the caliper that you can use to rotate the piston to get it in the right position to line up with the nipple on the pad
A huge "THANK YOU" for doing this video. I was getting ready to go on a trip and needed to change the back pads on my 2018 Escape. I've done many brake jobs but never one like this. Your video is extremely informative down to the sizes of wrenches, etc. Have a good one.
“Remove them from the bag, I will tell you that”.....expert advice folks. Listen to this man. Hahaha. Always great SMA! “How can a guy even drive with that much downforce!”.....🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I charge 185,,per hour for engine and maintenance,,,220,,for electrical services too ..up your prices too..thanks..love your videos too
