Your set up the best for being a mobile mechanic. Heck if you had a lift, torches and a welder. You would be as set up as the garage I used to work at. And that's saying a lot. Most mobile mechanics don't have nearly a quarter of what you have and yours is set up the best that I've seen thus far congrats bud wish you all the best and success. I forgot you also had a tire machine and a balancer
I know how much work it goes into building something like this just wanted to say you did a great job wish you success and your business thanks for sharing
There’s a channel called “roadside rescue”, and he uses a Stepvan for most car repair jobs. He uses smaller vehicles if it’s a long ways and he knows what tools he’s gonna need. Im surprised there aren’t more mobile businesses using Stepvans. They can be a pia to drive sometimes but you can have everything you need with you.
Goals. I just started my mobile business, Wizz Bang Mobile Mechanics. I am getting my 2001 Astro van wrapped, lol. I figure it will hold me by until I get some clients. This makes me wonder how I am going to function. I have a 3 bay shop now, and trying to fit it in a smaller space than you. I am also looking at P10s and P30s. I think the step van is perfect, and you just proved it. Great job.
Cool Stepvan tour. Mines a 74 GMC P3500. I’m using mine for my locksmith business as soon as I finish moving things into it. Fortunately I don’t need as much tools as you do so I’ll be able to throw kayaks and camping stuff in mine as well. Thanks for sharing!✌🏼
Great little setup, not too much fluff but you have most useful stuff, and most importantly you will make it to the repair job because the van is a Chevy
Very nice setup man love this coming form a field tech crane truck I would love to have full boxes and an area to work on rebuilding parts indoors , but you loose the crane and welder generator compressor on top and the bed space getting to bad spots with 4x4 truck vs van but for automotive it makes so much sense very nice
I am so happy for you! I am about to get back into the auto fixing business again, I thought I had alot of tools, but wow man you got it going on! 👏 👏 👏
I think these set ups are so cool. If i ever had to do something like this - I’d get two harbor freight bottom boxes with drawers and put them both on one side of the truck or trailer, and then build a wooden workbench the entire length of the other side with storage or shelves above and below.. some nice lighting on the ceiling, and a harbor freight press somewhere. With a big ass truck/van like that - i think I’d have to have a flip up or down table hinged to the outside of it, so at least there was a surface to lay stuff down on. Theres pros and cons going with van or box truck over a trailer i think. Obviously its much easier to get around in tight places without a trailer - but with an enclosed trailer having a nice ramp that folds down - you can at least have a tool cart that can be rolled out with all the most used tools. That alone seems like a huge convenience - not having to climb in and out of a vehicle every time you need a tool - and being able to keep stuff organized and off the ground where youre working. I’m not even a mechanic, but a friend at work has a son that does this out of pickup truck - and ive become obsessed with the idea of how I’d go about doing that. Making all the little annoying things disappear, or kept to a minimum eliminates tons of stress. Going the trailer route also allows you to use and protect a personal pickup truck from the hell it would otherwise endure. Dropping a trailer when you dont need it is easy too. Its too bad theres really no box or cube truck thats low enough like a trailer, that can make use of a ramp to easily roll a tool cart and floor jacks out.
Hands down 💯 my man I have 8.5x24 spread axle vnose enclosed you definitely right space is limited I do heavy duty diesel pm service and tires you gave me idea!!! Great 👍 job !!!
Nice Setup. You should move your fire extiguisher so it's in the doorway. You won't have to take your eyes off the fire to get to it...and if the fire wins, you're already at the exit.
Bro that’s a hell of a setup. The effort you put in is evident and well worth it. Organization is key in this field. Where are you from? Pittsburgh/Ohio area? Thought I heard a little Pittsburgh accent in there lol.
Hello again Working Class Garage Thank you for another Great Video. Your looking good, so after all the work you put into your work truck, how is it working out for you? Again thank you
It is great setup, but in my opinion who I let mobile mechanic Busniess for couple years and I have 7 staff, best car for mobile mechanic is small cars like minivan Toyota and Ford transits because of gas mileage and we don’t need that much big tools everyday, but I like it keep up
Watch your frame cross members on the floor of the van , I had a Grumman set up for service much like yours loaded heavy and the cross members fatigued greatly bending outborad of the trucks frame rails.
Great van. I’m just getting started with my mobile set up do you have and ideas or advice you can give me. I have a 2009 Isuzu NPR HD with a gas 6.0 gm motor.
Before and after weights? If you have access to portable scales, I would be really curious about the exact weight distribution per wheel. You might surprise yourself with that info. Who knows?
What brand folding table was that? I was just thinking the other day I could really use one for the service van so I don't have to set my tools on equipment or on the ground.
What type of screwdriver holder and wrench holders are you using? How do you keep your tools/parts from bouncing n shaking out if place? That's one of my biggest issues being on the road.
Nice. How long you been mobile? I wish there was a auto/diesel pick up mobile service here in northern Calif. I turn down the RV's, cars, diesel pickups, enough to make someone in your field want to have me as a friend. I have a 2018 Dodge 550 service truck #6 in a 41 year mobile truck repair, tooling is first cabin. I am a road service, glorified old time service station, which the objective is to make freight move as to getting into the overhaul which I did in the early years. So I enjoy these clips revealing the competence of mind as to how they set up. How much over weight are you?
New to your channel 1st video I'm watching this one. I like videos like these. Be safe And never trust anything that is hydraulic coming from a hydraulic repair mechanic for years👍 Some of these mechanics rely too much on hydraulics

That's a fine looking truck,. Well put together. Good job brother we need more mobile mechanics. Thank you for being a entrepreneur.

You have THEE best mobile mechanic truck setup on youtube hands down💯
I know how much work it goes into building something like this just wanted to say you did a great job wish you success and your business thanks for sharing
Is the top secret item of the 9mm variety 😂
A top secret 9mm “socket”, right? 😉
@@s0la.scr1ptura lol thought it was weed. But yeah, guess that makes more sense
Looks sweet. :) I’ve got my Milwaukee fan in the same spot!
Being a mechanic for over 40yrs and what was impressive was torque wrenches in the top draw.
EXCELLENT
This might be the greatest RUclips video I’ve ever watched.
Amazing setup man, definitely makes you rethink owning a shop vs going fully mobile
What the.... why would you go backwards. Just organize your shop
I think he meant starting up- going mobile vs. trying to start up a whole shop
Im very impressed by your organization and cleanliness

Man, what a collection of tools, most important is the truck to be parked in a safe place, with high security.
Super badass set up.
The compact space set up layout is SUPERB. great work sir
Sunday morning here, just kickin with my cup of coffee and really enjoying your video tour of your rig. Thanks for posting.
SUBSCRIBED.
Thanks!
Your setup is awesome man, very clean and organized.
I have an 85 PW3 With a 4 cylinder Cummings diesel that I used to drive. Love the set up dude. Looks great
Looks amazing. One can tell that you have invested a ton of money in tools.
Love the set up brother, looks great.

Does anyone know what brand those black handle flex head wrenches are on the right side at 3:20 ?
Very nice setup. Keep wrenching and stay safe out there Brother
Very nice build out! Thanks for the tour!

Very cool!
Everything is so clean! If it was my van the whole thing would be covered in grime
Very nice set up mechanic from England
Really nice setup i almost got into mobile mechanic business but had a shop and building paid for
A very nice, interesting and brief video you have there. Thank you.
Awesome setup you have there! Best of luck with everything
Great little setup, not too much fluff but you have most useful stuff, and most importantly you will make it to the repair job because the van is a Chevy
That husky box was my starter box in the trade. I'm buying 2 of them for my mobile business
Very nice setup man love this coming form a field tech crane truck I would love to have full boxes and an area to work on rebuilding parts indoors , but you loose the crane and welder generator compressor on top and the bed space getting to bad spots with 4x4 truck vs van but for automotive it makes so much sense very nice
Awesome setup, and i would absolutely love to be a mobile mechanic one day
one of the nicedst setups I havre seen
Best I’ve seen thus far on RUclips
I am so happy for you! I am about to get back into the auto fixing business again, I thought I had alot of tools, but wow man you got it going on! 👏 👏 👏
Nice little setup
Wow. Nice setup. Hard to believe you packed that much stuff in such a small space.
Nice setup.
Nice set up. Kudos on the cleanliness👍
Absolutely love your set up, i'm a handyman and have yet to get myself sorted. You've kitted out this van bloody good mate, cheers from down under
This truck is amazing, lots of work and thought went into this thing
Cool video. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet setup! Your setup for pretty much anything.
Great set up and video. Is that the same van borat went round america in?????
Sweet set up deserved a fallow i'd like to see outside for sure
That’s one of the coolest setups iv seen in a truck very well laid out you can tell a lot of thought went into that. 👍👍👍
Great setup. Good luck on the road
I have that roadster floor jack I love it !!!
You're missing the desk chair and a small fridge for Beer tho (solar panel). Nice setup.. my dream!
Interested in that “top secret item” can’t forget about it
Nice rig and tools

It is fucking crazy how many tools we have in common. I'll definitely mentally reference this video later. Thanks for your advice

Great video, amazing truck and layout. very clean setup.
Looks like you have everything setup very well.

Thanks man! I’m from southern Ohio, I have a lot of family from Kentucky/Tennessee.

You're Living my Dream !!! 🔨👍😁👍🔧
Bro your setup is AWESOME!!!
Nice set up
I like your style WCG. Been subbed since your HUSKY tools review. Good luck in all you do bro.

Have you thought of putting a/c in it? Like an ice pack system or something along the lines of that?
Wicked setup. Love it
Watch your frame cross members on the floor of the van , I had a Grumman set up for service much like yours loaded heavy and the cross members fatigued greatly bending outborad of the trucks frame rails.
Cool set up man
Great van. I’m just getting started with my mobile set up do you have and ideas or advice you can give me. I have a 2009 Isuzu NPR HD with a gas 6.0 gm motor.
Is that a tv mount in the HF box?
.Ike the van better than a pickup work standing up out of the weather andmore discrete good job ty
Nice storage management 🤘🏽
great job

The organization is so satisfying 😌
Do you have room for an engine or transmission to fit in the back?
I love the setup, soon i will have one 😊
Great you have stuff ;-)
Nice setup dude 👌🏻👌🏻
Road side rescue uses this exact van for mobile mechanic aswll lol
Good Job
Love ❤️ good luck🎉
Would that small compressor work a vacuum coolant filler?
What type of screwdriver holder and wrench holders are you using? How do you keep your tools/parts from bouncing n shaking out if place? That's one of my biggest issues being on the road.

How much over weight are you?
Man I honestly don’t even know how much this rigs weighed 😂
Curious what kind of inverter are you using to power everything? Or do you have a generator?
I have a generator when needed and then just a small power inverter that basically just charges batteries.
Looks like the old mission impossible van from way back

That's badass!!!!
Parabéns pelo ferramental . Ferramentas nunca é demais
I like this! I’m a mechanic and I think a Van 🚐 like this would be good for me😊! I subscribed🦾
