I also respond to Humble Mechanic's recent video all about marketing a Mobile Mechanic business: • 5 Tips for Marketing a... where you can probably get much better information than I have to offer here.

Keep up the hustle my friend. 🤘
she's awesome
@Mark Lance pretty sure that was the friend Charles that she referred to in the video.
Mark Lance 😝😝😝👁📸👁. That’s the problem with dweebs man. They see any female and their brain goes funny 😝😝😝
You guys would be the fucking pair mate.
Very educational and informative. Hope you have your won service shop one day. My opinions.
Hey Faye,
I operated a mobile mechanical business for 8 years here in Australia. It gets tougher as you get older. Now I'm old and crusty! But just like you, I have a passion for caring for customers and their vehicles, motorbikes, lawnmovers, TV's, microwave ovens or whatever they need.
I now teach part time at a college and run a business as well, combined with a RUclips channel. Busy, busy, busy!
Thanks for your enthusiasm for the trade and your passion for your work.
Cheers
MiracleMAX 😉😁
Appreciate you explaining how you began. You have a gift with connecting with people. A lot of mechanics don't.
This makes me happy. I love to work on cars and my hubby's trucks. I am so glad to see your success doing what you love.
... and I am happy to see that you have chickens!! I love chickens :) I have 2 silkies that hang out in my shop with me! :)
I think it's great how young people are getting passionate about repairing and reusing resources and connecting with other people on a face to face situation. More power to you Faye!!
You have the best personality!
Ok, I'm a traveling marine mechanic. After watching your video here, I'm encouraged that I'm on the right path - I have the same outlook about business that you do, which is not always understood by other business owners. Thanks for the video. If you ever decide to become a marine mechanic, I have work for you! It's not all engines...
You touch on a key point - talking to your customers. Treating them like people. Explaining. I really like the idea of classes. Most boat owners haven't a clue how things work. Some don't actually care as long as they do work.
I happened upon your videos looking into timing belt changes for my Tacoma, which, as it turns out, doesn't have one (it's got a chain), but stayed for the general interest in your repairs. (In case I give up on-the-water work...)
Once again, thanks!
Your such an inspiration and your hard work and dedicated tenacious mind set will take you where you want and need to go. People like you are the fabric of what our country is built upon. Thank you for that. I hope you achieve what you set out for. I appreciate your honesty and true insight into your life. Stay True ✌❤
You should do a toolbox tour of what Tools usually carry with you what kind of insurance do you have or need to do this kind of business because this is what I’ve been thinking about doing
plan on it!
A year later did you do it yet bro? Most mechanics never leave the nest especially when pay and benefits is okay
The insurance requirements in most states are none; however, if you intend on working with vehicles in which the average cost for parts exceedes what you are comfortable paying out of pocket for damages then you should mpst definitely get a ln insurance package that would cover said costs. In consumer repairs you will typically find that most errors you make will be corrected by yourself and from your pocket. That being said most damages that warrant insurance claim will typically be the cost of your insurance premium .... but having insurance will save you always.
Bump
Just do it!
I like car models that actually work on their own cars. Keep it up.
You have an amazing spirit, the world needs more souls like yours!
I have 2 girls coming up and I keep telling them to have their own business for their own peace of self. Your video was an inspiration of self worth. We subscribed.
Thank you so so much!! I absolutely love feedback like this:))
We have an 11 year old girl. If you take a look at my videos, you might see her in a few. I try to expose her to many things. You know what's fun. When she takes one thing, and applies it to another! That's when I know she's understood what I'm showing her!
Oh, new sub here!
Mobile mechanic here also. Going on 3 years now. Was super scared to pull the trigger and start the business but glad I did. I work in a different field though. I'm an CNG technician for big fleets and whomever needs their natural gas vehicles fuel systems serviced. Keep up the good work.
Love your story! Keep it up. You have a passion and it shows! I had a mobile mechanic business few years ago. I like the idea of having classes to educate people, shows you are willing to give back to the local community. Carfest sounds cool, wish I could do something like that here.
I feel less alone in the universe🤗 😂 you remind me of myself to hear the excitement in your voice when talking about cars lol! Awesome video! I'm fighting myself about starting out on my own. But you makes me a little less scared.
That's such an incredible compliment, thank you!:) I wish you the best!!!
Not sure how I found the channel but I'm not too late....and after watching a few videos I'm getting hooked. Knowledge, style, beauty all in one. Keep up the great videos!
Faye, totally awesome that you are a mechanic. When I was in college in the north east I started doing mobile mechanic work, because I loved working on cars. Not having great tools, the freezing winters, and butt kicking rust on every nut and bolt was too much of a challenge for me to earn enough to make it worthwhile. I still have a passion for wrenching on vehicles. 25 yrs later, I now have great tools and live in the no-rust south west so I am spoiled. Some days I think about ditching my engineering profession to open a shop to help people. I wish more women followed your path to become auto techs. I hope your subscriber list grows exponentially and you can start monetizing your videos to help supplement your income. If anyone reads this, please subscribe to help Faye become rich and Fayemous on youtube.
Oh wow!! Same, I started up North. Eek! I couldn't do it up there, good for you!
I've honestly thought about doing this when I get out of the military. Always wanted to open up a shop or a mobile mechanic shop. Keep it up and great video!
Your supper kool.I and my granddaughter tried to put an alternator in cause the mechanic who worked on her car messed up! It took 3 women to figure it out! Just came across your posts and did not know there was a women mechanic out there. Keep going to help other women they can fix their own cars thank you!
Great to see another confident technician posting videos, welcome to our community Faye.
Steve.
Can't remember why I clicked on the video but glad I did. You Rock!
Awww thank you!!
You are a perfect example "that if you love what you do you will never have to work a day in your life". It is to bad they don't teach that in school.
dont believe that phrase. Sounds nice, but far from the truth
@@bryan1956 It worked for me for 30 years. The long hours were not always easy but it was very satisfying and I built great word of mouth. The money was very good also. imagine hating go to work. I was a commercial photographer and everyday was a challenge and it was fun to work with a great crew.
Legitimate a good clip with no cuts.
U got a new sub..keep up the good job. I just started my business a year ago but I'm in to trucking. Always work for urself not for someone else!!!! Keep up the good job
Very cool. Turning wrenches and having fun! Best wishes. -Glen
Your awesome teaching mechanics to women is great. Keeps women from getting scammed and just adds to knowledge is power. Keep up the great work from a fellow 210er😁
You are not awkward, your original, passionate about your love for people, there cars and the connections between them. I think you and what your doing is great and amazing. Remember the old saying, if you love what you do, you will never work a day of your life. Keep it up.
What I admire about you is that you are YOU!! You are real and people see that!! What I hope is that young people will see you and realize that if they stay true to themselves and follow there passion success will come. Great video, Faye!!
AWWW 😢 thank you so so much!!
I say the same thing about oil all the time!!! Love your enthusiasm...
Thanks for your videos on the tocomas. I bought a 2005 in 2018. And to honest it scares me. I am us to doing most of my own repairs. Your vidoes have givin me a lot of insight that might be in store down the the road. Keep up the good work yound lady. Be safe. Peace.
I have worked for myself for over 20 years. for some people it is a nightmare, for others its a relief. it sounds like you really enjoy your biz. great for you! i enjoy what i do and could never go back to a job. i am so happy i looked at your channel after seeing you in eric o's live stream. charles, keith and eric and great. all very humble and methodical people. i do trucks and diesels and they rarely work on those but i enjoy all their videos. whether i am watching someone or doing my own, i enjoy the thrill of the hunt for the problem. love your personality...very refreshing. i look forward to more of your videos!
You are proof that whatever one does, if you genuinely love it and have a passion for it you will always be successfull at it. Listening to you one can hear your passion for what you do, so people will naturally take trust in you to fix their cars. 👍😎👌
Talk about dont judge a book by its cover. One of the few women that post they are car enthusiasts. Im glad that you finally got to do you dream job. Keep up the videos. Im getting ready to do my first job this weekend.
Glad I stumbled into you!
I enjoy your videos,I’m happy I subscribed!
I'm in San Antonio too. My name is Jose Sosa, I think it's awesome that you own you'er mobile mechanic business.
Great Job girl.
I usually would swear working on cars, I love that you laugh and get excited when something disconnects as when you dropped the transmission in your VW.I was nervous watching that one . I once had a Ford C6 from a 64 Thunderbird bounce off my leg when the guy holding the front let go . Was happy to see you strap yours to the jack.
Never seen your channel but after seen that sweet little VW behind you I just have to add you! Great videos!
Thanks! She's my everything. This car started my journey to become a mechanic! I talk about it in one of my videos:)
Thank you so much, @KC JONESand that's so freaking cool! You probably know so much more about these cars than I do haha, I wish I could pick your brain sometime!
Your enthusiasm is infectious! 😊
After spending 40 years in the power industry (retire in January) I completely get what you are talking about. Thanks be to God you are being true to your self and following thru with what works for you. I personally love love love women that work with their hands on motorcycles, cars, wood, steel etc. because of your attention to detail is much better than most guys. So my hat is off to you for what you are doing and the difference you are making in the world. You rock!!!
You truly are an inspiring person.Today I enrolled in welding school.And your welding encourages me to get better.Thank you your awesome.
That's SO AWESOME!!!!! BEST TO YOU!!!!
Wow, incredible video. I love how down to earth and easy going you are in this video. You are very inspirational. I hope you become a millionaire from you craft.
Faye awesome job, keep up the work the reward will come big. Big shout out from Austin.
Love your enthusiasm for cars! I'm a car geek myself and wish that I had a mechanic that is as passionate as you. Unfortunately I have never found any mechanic as enthusiastic as you. Keep up the good work.
I live in Portland Oregon and I love it. It always positively impress me when I see a mechanic enthusiastically and honestly work on cars. I wish you were still here in Portland. I am a amateur mechanic and I just started to work on my car few months ago and I would DEFINITELY love to take one of your classes.
Hey Faye we have a lady mechanic over in England in our shop, love watching your video’s, keep it up👍🏻😉
You're awesome!!!
Seems like a mobile mechanic would have a lot less overhead. Rent is expensive. Especially commercial property. You don't have to store any vehicles either. It's also way more convenient for the car owner because they don't need to drive anywhere.

But working with n the ground compared to a nice rack sucks. I know!!! So you’re also limited on some of the things you can do. Which may be a good thing. You have to bring all your heavy tools everywhere you go. Wear and tear on a truck and the gas.
Even all that, still ok.
My issue would be the customer hovering all over me making trying to focus and do the job harder.
Always being customer service minded means everyone you meet is a potential customer and word of mouth is priceless!
This world needs more of what you offer. Please take this seriously when I say you are a HERO OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY!!!!! Please don’t stop doing what makes your heart happy.
You just gained a new subscriber. Keep the great content coming.
I've been thinking about mobile heavy equipment mechanic for the farmers where I live, cool video
Your personality is infectious and obviously a boost for your business.
Thanks for your honesty and being real. Really enjoying your enthusiasm about cars and life!
I bow to thee.
Was an old hippie kid out west for years. Now I just travel with tools an help people on the road. So not a pro. But have passion for helping people an showing what an how's. Love peace an axle grease. ;)
Awesome, another hawt mechanic online. You are so enthusiastic and upbeat. Wish you much success.
Doing what you love everyday is the best! Very happy for you and love your videos. I'm not a mechanic but I work on my old Lexus RX300 a lot and love the satisfaction of fixing things myself so you are a great inspiration. Thanks!
Great video. It’s nice to see a mechanic that is passionate about what they are doing. Keep up the good work and all the best to you 👍
You even have your own service reminder sticker! That's legit
Dang, Faye. You're killin' me with those eyes and the way you laugh. Killin' me dead! ♥️
Starting up my “Mobile Mechanic” business right now. I’ve worked on vehicles for the last 25yrs for fun but with COVID making me lose my regular job I figured now would be the best time to try and invest in myself. Thank you for the little insight on what it takes to get started
Really enjoyed the video. Been thinking of my next step as a mechanic myself. Thank you. Look forward to watching your other videos.
Great stuff, Faye. You are a smart operator.
Glad to see more, and more techs on RUclips nowadays. Ty for posting.
don't ever change a thing,you are awkward because you are genuine.sister you are going places and you take every one in your life with you,that is rare please for the love of all cars don't change
I agree with you 1000% I love working on cars and really want to start a mobile business. To see someone around my age doing it inspires me. Thank You
Wow, I'm so glad!:)
Awesome! Wish you all the success
i luv the mobile mechanic concept,like mobile super heroes,very cool,thx
I absolutely love this channel and think you are awesome, Faye! Im a self employed Plumber/Gasfitter in canada and I feel the stuff I work on speaks to me the same way vehicles speak to you. I very much agree that these trades are our callings. You are a very awesome person with some really cool viewpoints and your mechanic skills are awesome! I hope you are successful in your business and I wish you much hapiness in your career of doing what you love. This channel is so awesome and i'm really happy i found it! You rock!
Faye, you are an true inspiration for following what makes you happy. Love the energy, love positive attitude, and love the knowledge you put on here.
Congratulations on getting to where you are today! I also provide a mobile service in the healthcare field and started for similar reasons to your own. I work on my 2002 car for fun and to save money. Question for you: how do you have the tools and equipment you need for your services? I'd imagine it's hard to access certain parts without a hoist or space in a parking lot or someone's driveway. Thanks for the inspiration, keep up the good work!
So true! I will definitely make another video addressing this, and some of the other questions I have received from this video. Thanks for the feedback and for watching! :)
you are absolutely nuts in a very very good way I am totally in awe of you
and you should be very proud of yourself thank you so much for being you
and yes you do ramble lmao
andy large ...but it's a good ramble
Sweeeet mk1! Love those Hellas and the Euro grill. Awesome content - good luck on the hustle!
It's actually a mutant grill that I made myself out of 3 other grills!!! They are mk1 scirocco headlights!!!
@@FayeHadley whaaa? Holy moly that's cool.
@@Bulletstop75 Thanks!!! I wanted dual rounds that were the same size, and it just worked!
@@FayeHadley Well, I have a Mk 1 Rabbit that needs a facelift. Now I have more food for thought. Cheers!
I stumbled upon your video about when you were getting Grim and then just started watching a bunch in a row. Subscribed!!! Your insight and knowledge is fantastic and helpful and your personality is infectious! Wait, there a chicken!!!! Keep doing what you are doing and I wish you nothing but luck and no drama with your business!!!
Your such a beautiful young woman with the right attitude and motivation to succeed. Your sure to do well!
Right on, Faye.
My finest day on a Farm Service Call. The Donkey and Horse watched me
Replace Ford 8N Starter and Cable repairs. Never uttered a noise but when I Started the Tractor
The Donkey Heehaw and The Horse whinny, Then Dogs barked.. followed by 3 Cats Running
Out to see me, obviously happy, the Tractor Running meant Dinner time.
i did a eletronic ignition "how to" on my 8n if youre interested and a few other 8n vids
GIRL POWER!!! Congratulations on taking the leap and starting your own business.
Thank you for empowering women to do their own car maintenance and repairs. Getting ripped off and disrespected by a shop is the worst. Working on our own cars is the best!! Keep up the good work.
This may be one of my favorite suggested youtube vids in recent memory. What a cool story and what a bad ass! Inspiring on so many levels. Keep going!
Wow awesome, you go girl...I like you outlook on things!
I'd buy Faye-merch, were it available.
You are my idol!! I drive a semi for a living, have an El Camino that I've had on the track a couple of times, and I learned to drive when I was 10 years old, but I wish I knew more about engines and everything car-related. Looks like your business is growing and you well-deserve it. Thank you for letting us see your work and get to know you.
I’m currently in the process of researching how to turn my dads garage into a legitimate business so we can file deductions for taxes and stuff. This video gives me motivation. Keep it up I love the energy
You're frikkin awesome! Thanks for the great video.
Good on you, Don’t know how you do it. I’d always hit road blocks not having all of my tools at my disposal.
Lots of on-the-fly problem solving FOR SURE haha :) Thank you!!
Great video.
I’ve worked out of high school at a dealership doing bank/Dmv/shuttle/prop.main/vehicle cleaner- until it was bought out.
I loved every minute, also helped mechanics when needed; never seen a mechanic like yourself so enthusiastic about the teaching aspect. I believe that’s why you’re definitely a stand out.
Good trustworthy mechanics are hard to come by.
Awesome back story; I knew there was more to you then All girls garage-
Keep up the good work and being a role model to our young and old.👍🏻
LOVE your videos!! I own a bicycle shop and just started a mobile shop, so always interesting to hear your stories and compare mine...although in a different area. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!!
Awe man miss ya Faye! Glad you’re doing well down in San Antonio. Love the vid, keep up the great work!
I am impressed, keep it going. Maybe you can adjust my carbeurators on my Z.
Idk how u popped up on my you tube but this is the first video I have seen from u and I am now a fan and I just subscribed lol that's amazing
Super-fun insight on you path. Took my wife & I many years to get our business on the right path so we didn’t just have an expensive hobby, but a fun but real business. Love your desire to connect with your clients… Our niche ended up being directly related to the client- “To simplify and enrich our clients lives…”.
Your awkwardness is kool. Keep doin what u do.
Wow your stupid to say something like that....
@@jessesiordia7966 And your a jackass for saying something like that. Go get a sense of humor. The 25 likes the orginal commenter has against your 1 proves me right.
Great videos, Glad to find you Faye! So inspiring to young women! But I am guessing because I am an old dad
Dame, I just realized your from San Antonio , that's so Awesome. I've been watching your videos for about a week and I'm really impressed. I also am an Automotive Technician... Mobile Mechanic...

What a cool personal story! I loved your description about what work at Intertek was like. I wish you huge success.
A girl working on a car is the hottest thing ever 😍
boys in youtube comments are the thirstiest thing ever
and when that girl is also hot
I am 40 and a crazy Gearhead, in all my years of dating I have never met a real car chick she is beyond rare.
Keep you pants on Johnny boy
Girls who are competition shooters are too.
You may be the greatest thing hitting the Auto world.... Genuinely an awesome person.... BiG ups for us awkward people, your laughter and smile is infectious...
