In this video I have a look at a customer's 2015 Chevy Cruze that was towed in because it over heated on the lady. A visual inspection showed that the water outlet housing had been leaking for a while and the car finally ran out of coolant. Let's get it fixed for this lady.
-Enjoy!

    Nobody will quit watching your videos Eric, a day without SMA is like a day without sunshine.
  • @tattoochef
    Even if the repair is "stupid" the commentary is always gold.
  • @bags4
    Like all these other guys are saying, we’ll join you no matter what’s up. Between your sixth-sense for finding broken wire money shots, to your general spit-your-drink-out level of comedy, you are such a pleasure to watch, and we are so lucky that you keep on keeping on making videos for us to learn from. Thank you Eric.

    Im Norwegian. I come here not only for the education, but for the presentation. "Well there's your problem lady", "its got the big 5-0 in it", "we got ourselves a Hondoo", "from Napa(r) not a sponsor" and so on and so on has become the Pinnacle of mechanical terms in my mind. There is no such thing as a "boring SMA"-video, the presentation is half the meal.
  • @James-dm6ey
    Showing the bs that happens on the daily is way better than sunshine and rainbows that other channels show. You're a real mechanic, not a parts changer. Showing how you muscle through the unexpected, and thought process for solutions is gold.
  • @JohnSmith-eq5el
    Eric, just wanted you to know how much I appreciate that you make these videos...
  • @timcritz3194
    As a diyer , your videos are neither silly nor stupid. I learn something from each one plus the entertainment value is better than cable tv. I seriously doubt anyone will stop watching.

    I was today years old when I found out IRL stands for in real life…
    Eric is always spreading his wisdom in one way or another.

    Please put the Honda video out, we love em all and we don't see Hondas often. You're the best! Thanks for everything.
  • @johnpereira822
    Any repair video of yours is always entertaining no matter the content
  • @JohnAsang
    Keep posting all the content you can! As a 30 year veteran of the game, I always think someone will find your professional diagnostic and repair process very useful.

    Lemme tell ya's somptin. Videos made in a real shop, by a real tech, using real language all that combined with great oration skills, a great script (whether ad lib or preconceived matters not) good videography and vid editing and you have the ingredients for an interesting channel.
    I understand the funk, I want a channel (at least a channel that is well received like 56k views in 16 hours well received) but I have nothing that interests me in my life so I am sure there is nothing interesting to share on YT. You are an enigma, great guy, great tech, nice shop and a good channel. Stop beating on yourself and enjoy the fact you are ok in many ways.
    Peace out Brother.
  • @adamtrombino106
    The fact that you've been doing vids for yrs while running a busy shop is pretty great, and it's a pleasure to watch and learn. Short or long, no vid is stupid if it helps someone. Thx Eric.
  • @kenholt8297
    Wow, that Eco Tech is once again car show ready thanks to Eric! 🎉🎉😂😂
  • @douglash3129
    Hi Eric, Well at least you have Mrs.O. bringing you a Cup of Hot Coco!!😁GirlMech

    Post whatever videos you have. They're all good and informative.
  • @jimandnena4
    It has nothing to do with WHAT you are doing. It is HOW you do it that keeps me watching. And, everyone gets in a funk at some time. Personally, when I sense a funk coming, I pop my DVD of Apocalypse Now into the player and by the time Martin Sheen is hacking that water buffalo apart, I feel great! I am 10 years older than the state of Alaska, I have no time for funk. 😁
  • Don't over think the videos or the content. By now you should know we are here for you. The good, bad and the ugly are all part of the job. Just keep the videos coming as you can. Always remember the success of your business is the most important.
  • @leighpike6572
    Did a remarkably similar job , as in 3 hoses, 3 bolts, similar black plastic part on an Audi a2. Actually had to go back and check what car you were working on 😅
