Even after 7 or 8 years of watching, you still keep me entertained and informed while doing the 835th brake job on the channel... Keep 'em coming, my guy....
Very kind comment, they should all be as such 💡

I go to South Main Auto every night ... Best clips on CZcams...keep up the Great Work...!!!!

The way I figure it, most of us are middle age or older dudes. At this stage in our lives, we really don't have a lot of close buds to hang out with. These videos, even if it's the 835th brake job, give us a chance to virtually hang out with my guy, working on cars. Just like hanging out with your best bud, it doesn't really matter what you are doing as long as you are hanging out together. It doesn't hurt that Eric has a pleasantly sarcastic comedic demeanor and he also shares his wonderful family with us as well. And we can't forget.....Luna. **gooood kitteh**
That brake kleen intro is always the icing on the cake and never gets old! Thanks for not disappointing me Mr, O
The problem with that is every time I use brake cleaner that's sound in my head
Damn I was reading comments while watching. Next time please issue a spoiler alert. 😂
6:44 it never gets old.
I don't know about others but I still like watching these easy indifferent jobs as long as you want to record and post them.
Agreed. I always like it when he starts slinging and banging around wrenches and air tools.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a Buick being driven fast enough to actually need brakes.
LOL. Yeah, my pop told me Buick is the sound I make throwing up.
That it, you win the internet for the day, shut it down
I always thought that the Buick Century was named to reflect the age of its owners.
That's because the operator is usually riding the brakes.
You guys are mean. I’m old, drive a Buick but I’m not a Century old, I drive pretty fast, I don’t ride the brakes and I always thought Europe was the sound you made throwing up. But what do I know. 😮
How does one know that they watch just the right amount of SMA videos? When Eric O. honked (for safety, of course) to back out of the shop, I said, "Hey! It's that guy!" Thanks for this and every other video, Eric. Cheers!
Love the channel Eric, keep the videos coming. Best automotive repair channel on the CZcams.
Hi Eric, greetings from England, UK. If you want a handy thin wrench to do those caliper slide pins and other bolts that are restricted for width, buy yourself one of those multi combination spanners / wrenches that are sold for cyclists, they have got me out of a muddle a few times with calipers and they usually cover sizes from 8mm to 15mm or so.
All the best mate.
Mother of pearl. The first automaker to get real and build a car with a simple inline 6, roll down windows, and real e brake with a handle a manual transmission and sell it for 15 grand new will rule the planet.
I never get tired of watching you do brakes!
Hi Eric. Always enjoy the brake drives through Avoca. Nice to see everything greening up. And a brake bonus appearance by the lovely Mrs. O. A treat.
I was thinking as I watched him drive, I believe I've seen enough shakedowns that I could navigate in and around Avoca having never even been there! 😁
It's awesome that Eric still uses his pneumatic tools
Hey Mr O!!!! I was on a big trip through the states from Canada and we just so happened to have passed through Avoca so I convinced my friends to stop and I got a pic out front of the shop!! You guys live in such a beautiful area I couldn't believe it when I drove through.
Mrs. O is looking prettier each day!
Love to see Lady O.
"Electronics: a solution to a problem we never had."
As a computer programmer with 30 years of experience, I couldn't agree more.
Always like your use of the torque wrench..."to factory specs"...when working on suspension & brake hardware, another great video!
Please more of these "wrench jobs." I love watching Eric O wield a wrench.
Thanks Eric, great job! Brakes r us...lol
I thought Mrs.O's outfit was very cute! I always enjoy you two's interactions with each other! God Bless see you on your next adventurous job.
Solution to a problem we never had😂😂😂 So true
Ms O allways make me smile
Great work Eric, I'm always learning something from your channel
Raising my hand. Usually my wife wanders by, picks up the whatever and says "Is this what you were looking for?" She calls it male pattern blindness. My son has it too😂
Several times in the past I have been looking for my keys for multiple minutes before I realized they were in my hand the whole time. DOH! OR when you spend tens of minutes looking for a tool or something you KNOW you own but give up then go buy another AND THEN you find the one you had just minutes or hours later. Love that too. Keep 'em coming, Eric!
Been changing my own brakes since I was a teen. These videos give me confidence as well as a few tips and tricks. Thanks.
Mrs. O always looks so wholesome and nice. Very pretty dress there lady. Eric, that was a "Bread-n-Butter" job where I worked for 25yrs. On all of my brake jobs I'd put slick'm between the pad contact and the stainless steel hardware too. My brake jobs went 100,000 miles sometimes, and never had a slide freeze up. Also when I went to Automotive Tech School we had to take a fastener class where we were indoctrinated that every bolt that gets "torqued" must have lube on it. So, I always slicked up the mounting bolts w/ Synthetic grease. And, I slicked up the lug nuts with it or wheel bearing grease too. The guys that worked with me at the the muffler joint thought dirt, rust and cross-threading was what keeps a bolt tight. I tried to splain them NO the bolt stretches and that "spring tension" was what keeps it tight. I been mechanicing for 57 or 58yrs and never had a lug nut come a loose. ben/ michigan
Good to see you Eric! Nice segment on the brake pads! Mrs O always adds class to your channel! SMA Rocks
👍🏻Eric O won’t STOP until he gets the Brake job done…see what I did there
The way you gracefully brush on brake grease is reminiscent of Bob Ross and his titanium white
Great video, great tune at the end!!
Nice job as always team SMA!
I love Eric's comment, electric button for a problem you never knew you had.
795K subscribers! congratulations on your successful channel!
Another great video !
Love your videos
Best way to end a Monday
I keep hearing the Up-down, brings back memories of basic training and doing push ups in a group exercising. Up, down, up, down, up and down.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO ERIC O
Always love your videos Eric and your interaction with mrs o
Another great repair/service.
Great content as always Mr. O.

Searching for half an hour "the tool" and no it's not right in front of my face but was in the famous back pocket !!!!
The bow bow booow really helped us out, thank you VERY MUCH🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing.
Good work yall.

"Solution to a problem we never had" no truer words were ever spoken !
Great job
I love it I’ve watched you for years you still make me laugh and love the videos
Thanks for the entertainment my guy and sharing your knowledge with the masses, always nice to get a visit from Mrs. O. too. You post em I'm watchin.
Enjoy your videos Eric. Have gotten some tips on some things thanks for the videos
Awesome camera angles in this video.
When I didn't have 2 pennies to 'rub together'...brakes went out (and a wheel bearing) without his video I wouldn't have been able to fix my vehicle, I'd not have been able to get to work, I'd have been fired. He literally saved me. All through, who would have thunk it, a video of one of his thorough brake jobs. I'm forever grateful every single time I watch a video and IDC if it is his 10,000th brake job because I KNOW that someone is watching who had their butts saved by a video he did of their specific vehicle. Grateful.
WOW not rusted to death , living the life Mr. O. BTW love the little screamer, electric just doesn’t do it ha ha
Fantastic procedure memory
great stuff thanks
Cool video!!👍👍 I'll be watching more videos.
Pretty clean for a 2016 musn't get used much & garaged love the dry humour Cheers.
Professional and Informative Master Tech. God Bless.

I appreciate the fact that you use a torque wrench, and that you are down to earth in your repairs. Your methodology is great regarding your troubleshooting processes. Thanks for the videos. I'm now a subscriber
I sure liked that,one problem that we never had.😂love y'alls channel.
Finally absolutely everything I needed to start to beginning plus a little more much appreciated for how thorough precise, accurate and step-by-step you are showing the process no at all I’ve done it all it’s just been years, so this was the perfect reminder to triple check to be sure and boost the confidence!

Always nice to see Mrs. O. Looks good in the new dress. Oh yea. Good break job. 🤓
Buick Thunder. Great video
Keep it coming
Thanks
Yessir. I spend 30 minutes yesterday looking for my Ford fuel pressure test adapter, then I picked up a wrench off my cart, and there the adapter was. It was at that point that I began cursing at myself in the 3rd person. XD
the day when u only had 5k subs. MAN your growing so well.
Another entertaining brake job! They never get old.
I predict a left rear wheel bearing video for this Buick in the future 😉
Love the Brake clean intro... Guess Rain man Ray does too... LOVE YOUR channel eric...
Thanks!
I bought a 2005 la crosse used in 2006. Put 245000 miles on it ran great and sold it last fall. Very few issues loved that car
Yea but Eric thinks USA cars are junk...
I got an 06 cxl 3.8 with 95000 miles it will last forever.
👍Big thumbs up on Mrs. O's dress with pockets!
I learned from the best. Again.
Thanks Eric as always a great video mate, yes nothing worse than age it causes you to question why you do things you had no intention of doing. Also was lovely to see Mrs. O as well.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖💖💖

The master makes it look so easy. That car seemed very rust free.
Probably the cleanest underside of a vehicle I have see. On your channel LOL
