I have so much respect for small business owners. It takes a lot of courage to leave the security of a stable paycheck in pursuit of a dream. Imagine going from a woodworking shed to a sprawling shop full of Ferraris, Lambos, etc....in the course of 12 years! Congratulations on all your success - both the shop and the channel.
A great "documentary" that was bound to happen to satisfy the fans, and this is the place where it had to be launched.
Very pleasantly hosted and skilfully crafted by the one and only Mrs Wizard.
Absolutely. Very interesting and presented well by Mrs. Wizard.
2nd that.
Mr. Wizard is certainly punching above his weight class with this striking, gorgeous, brilliant, and hard working lady!! Dang!
Some of my favorite CZcamsrs. Wish them all the success!
Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoyed how Omega's journey required learning, teamwork, and faith to make it happen. Thank you both for the content!
HOW MUCH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ DID HOOVIE INVEST BY HIS RE[PAIR NEEDS TO OMEGA GROWTH????
Juan you need "faith "when you don't know what you are talking about
No, that's just plain stupidity. It is better to admit you don't know than to ride a lie. B/C in the end it all comes to light :). @@bradzimmerman3171
Which shows the workmanship of the Wizard and the crew. I would not return to a place that does not provide a good and honest service. @@rsprockets7846
Man what makes or breaks a small business is the people you work with. David is lucky to have such a supporting wife who shares his vision and has put in A LOT of time/effort/sweat into it. Also shout out to Crazy D, David's front office manager. That's the guy you talk to when you call Omega or walk in the door, having somebody with great people skills in that role can make/break a small business.
Thanks for sharing your business's background.
You and David definitely deserve all the blessing you've received from all the hard work put in.
Great story , you are one very brave young lady not to be ashamed of who you are , what a role model for your children
I'm glad you guys survived and thrived... otherwise i would not have any place to go every other day to learn about cars and repairs! Loved the channels and the content! And i would add that you have taught others in the business how to treat customers to their businesses! This is invaluable.
Nevermind these WEIRDOS Mrs. Wizard! The birthmark only adds to your beauty & makes you that much more drop-dead GORGEOUS(respectfully)!! 🥰
Thanks for the story & keep up the great content on your platform!
Your very likeable on video , your delivery rhythm is quick and precise ! I enjoyed the Omega history story ! He is lucky to have you !
I'm glad you mentioned the Port Wine condition. I was going to ask but thought it might be rude and too personal. I worked with a guy whose entire left side of his face had this condition. It must have been a struggle growing up sometimes. You guys are a treasure to the world wide car culture. I have learned a lot!
Port Wine is the very same condition that gave Mikhail Gorbachev his famous birthmark on the head.
Thanks for posting
Great "Wizardly" teamwork by a most deserving couple...dedicated partners working alongside...and a thankful customer base riding the Wizard bandwagon...continued success for Omega Auto Clinic!
Mrs. Wizard thanks for telling the story from your side. Would you tell us where you and Mr. Wizard plan to travel in the bus once it's restored?
Very cool to learn of the history; it surprised me how _recent_ it all is. 2011 seems like yesterday to me. I'm glad you stuck through the harder times because what a success story this has become. Even if the CZcams thing ended tomorrow, Omega's reputation is _International_ now, and there will always be people happy to send their vehicles. The other great thing is that by proxy, it's helped SO many people make wiser decisions, and maybe restored some faith too that there _are_ honest mechanics out there. I hope you both have many more years of success.
Thank you Mrs. Wigster for sharing🎉 I first saw the wizard on car issues, and just by the stroke of luck I saw wizards garage and I've been stuck to it like glue❤
Great story/backstory of the business and how you got there! (My wife's a retired teacher, so I think she can relate to at least some of this.)
Howdy Mrs.! You & the Wizard have made a wonderful business for yourselves! You've been able to make purchases for items to have fun with! You do wonderful work for people that have been scammed & taken advantage of. Kudo for all your efforts!!!!
Great story Mrs. Wizard.. Reminds me so much of when my wife, who also was a school teacher, and myself when I started my Construction Company. Thank goodness I already had a great reputation as a craftsman for fine interior carpentry working 2 years for the largest homebuilder in N.E. Ga. Sad thing was he was a real hateful tyrant. So I finally had enough and refused to be treated like his foot stool. So I went out on a limb and opened TBS Custom Homebuilders & Fine Interior Carpentry. Thank the LORD it was a huge hit. It was crazy trying to keep up with all the business that just kept pouring in. We like you guys are truly Blessed.. Carry on guys ! Love the channels.. HooAH !
Thanks for sharing how Omega came to be! It goes to show what can be possible if you are willing to sacrifice. We love you Mrs. Wizard!!!
It is heartwarming to see success stories such as yours. May God keep blessing you.
Absolutely a great video , I was wondering about the back story, as I just found your channel. You guys have been the epitome of the American Dream, starting small but through hard work and faith traveled far and moved ahead. You both are a great team ! I really like all of your videos and I have learned so much. Thanks.
Great humbling story and very glad y’all made it as y’all are perfect partners in business and very supportive of each other!!❤
Hello Mrs Wizard, I'm enjoying your channel. Never miss one of your videos, or the Wizards. I'm a retired nurse so it may be odd that I enjoy car videos, but I like to learn about how things work and knowledge leads to better understanding and communication. That's particularly helpful for dealing with my mechanic (who, like David is very competent and honest) I now understand what my mechanic is talking about. Not that I ever have any problems. I drive a Toyota. We know somebody who likes Toyota. Had my Avalon for 17 years now and other than the routine maintenance I've had no problems. I understand how dedicated you have to be to open a small business. My spouse and I had a small antique and collectibles shop on our property, plus five mall booths, and ebay. That was in the mid 90's. Like you I continued to work full time throughout so we could eat while growing our business. Keep up the good work. I never miss a video.
Thanks! BTW… Love your name. I had an aunt with your exact name. She’s in heaven now. 👼
@MrsWizardsWays I hope your aunt will stop by and say hello to my dad. He's in Heaven too, he'll be the man playing the organ for the Heavenly choir.
While women are not expected to do car repairs, having a knowledge of how cars work and can be repaired is every woman's best way to avoid scams and shonky work. Knowledge is powerful stuff.
I feel your pain with the start up. I've run several small businesses over the years, some successful and some where I've had to wonder from one week to the next how I would make payroll. Got my own car and machine shop at home to service my own stuff, no interest in trying to take in other people's problems as I have enough of my own with a fleet of over 15 vehicles. And I don't have a Hoovie in the neighborhood to serve as the basis for covering the overhead if I expanded.
Congratulations on making your deal work and on serving customers the way they should be treated.
Thanks for posting this. I always wondered how Omega became what it is.
Thanks for sharing your story. Mrs. Wizard you guys rock I’ll definitely be watching more videos of you guys. Keep it up.🙂🤙🏻👌🏻
Thanks for sharing! I don't think you realize how many people came across Hoovie's channel, and the Wizards channel during the COVID lockdowns. Many of us watched all of your businesses and channels grow. Continued success.
Mrs and Mr Wizard are the best. My favorite CZcams videos. Just love their content! Rock on 🤘
Thank you for telling this story. I have often wondered how you all got your start. I am an American Expat living in Thailand, and have found the Wizard's advice invaluable even here. I had an opportunity to buy a Juke. When I saw his video on yours, I decided not to buy one. It was the right choice since they quickly stopped selling them. Even here, Toyota is the way to go. I look forward to seeing what goes on with not only the bus, but Omega as well.
I enjoyed that. You are very good and the Wizard got himself quite a catch.
Thank you. So nice to hear this story. You guys are good salt of the earth, Americans…hard work, continued growth, a real success story. Good for you and an example to folks.
You are brave, bold, and vulnerable😊 YOU WILL NEVER know the ripple effect that your honesty while rocking a tank top unapologetically gets my subscription! I have watched your husband’s channel for over a year; he appears to be a kind, honest and a genuine man; those qualities are superpowers in today’s world! You’re a great storyteller and pulled the curtain back on what it’s like as the Car Wizard’s s wife, and the Car-Wizard’s life! I love the journey that the two of you and others went through to achieve success while “leading with faith,” You inspired me today and I hope you find inspiration from the people that you have inspired!😊
I love this format Mrs Wizard! Fantastic editng, raw conversations. I've noticed your birthmark for a long time and felt bad for you thinking it was a terrible burn you sustained (I just presumed all birthmarks where kinda brown/grey)
I learned something new and now i don't need to feel bad every time you show off the birthmark :)
Awesome Mrs Wizard! You guys are wonderful people❤
Glad for yall's success!
It’s great how the growth was fast relative to how most businesses struggle , It goes to show getting internet famous doesn’t hurt ones pocket book . I m one fan that will always be greatful for that wealth of knowledge I can get at a touch of a bottom .
This was fascinating! And I remember Wizard doing videos about the current shop when you first got it and I cannot believe it’s 5 years already! Wow how time flies past! You are such a great person to watch and I totally understand how you were a teacher! Thank you for a lovely video and the history of Omega!
A Natural beauty radiating lot of positive energy... Mr Wizard is a very blessed and lucky man . Wish you lot of success in all you do .
I slightly remember your first introduction on Wizards Chanel and it’s nice when you do interior and show us what’s new and old.
Keep up the good work.
Hey Mrs Wizard, t 14:20 hanks for sharing this interesting story of the history of Omega!!! I think that it's great that you used oops paint in the offices!!! 👍👍🙂
Great video on the journey of Omega and Mr and Mrs Wizard. I've enjoyed watching the journey. I remember the Car Wizard with hair and very awkward in front of the camera. Y'all have done a great job of building and establishing yourselves as one of the best on CZcams. I love the humor you and him share on camera especially when you laid claim to your Ferrari. Keep the great content coming and here's to many more successful years. Enjoy🍻
Mrs wizard, you guys work hard and I know for sure that you read every single comment and base your contents on viewers requests, enjoy your well deserved success
Love the Car Wizard, from a UK viewer’s perspective thanks for sharing this video, really interesting and not so different process wise to what would happen here. Your doing a great job, lots of success to you both!
I don’t think the state of Kansas is quite up your but like England’s MOT. It seems to me.
So nice to see Mrs. Wizard finally! What a great video!
Y’all have a great channel. Both of you are very hardworking and are obviously now enjoying the fruits of your labors. Y’all are a must watch for me daily.
I've been watching since day one of this channel and I've immensely enjoyed it. Straight out of high school from 2004-2006I worked at a small European Car repair shop in Ohio and seeing your shop and many of the antics there brings back great memories.
Great story Mrs. Wizard. Very professionally done. Bravo to you guys. Keep on wrenching.
Big Studebaker fan here. Loved seeing one of those at the 13:00 mark. My first 2 cars were Studes. Never underestimate the importance of a clean and spacious and bright and home like workspace. Contributes mightily to great morale. I have worked in some dingy places and it was hard to feel good there.
I honestly enjoyed this video. I do enjoy all the Car Wizards repair videos with you interior commentary and the banter you both share together. However it's great to hear the story of how the shop came to be where it's at today
I know you've mentioned it and the Car Wizard has as well...but thanks for explaining the Port Wine Stain birthmark. Glad it doesn't bother you. Doesn't bother me...Mrs. Wizard is cool and fun always! Hoping your channel keeps growing! Smart to avoid these crazy temps!! It was 109 F yesterday in Dallas....cold front today down to 95 F!
Thank you Mrs Wizard!
Thanks for sharing your story 👍😄
Hard work has a tendency to reward you. Honestly with your customers will spread the word without any needed advertisements.
It is great little success story. Really enjoyed it.
this is so wholesome! im so glad youtube showed me your channel.
You and the Wizard are a great couple!
What a success story Was watching the Wizard on Tyler's channel and thoughts he needs his own channel Wizard is a good counter point to Tyler's crazy energy 😅
Thanks for the background story on the Wizard's shop!
Thanks for that , I think I kind of had an idea of some of that but getting it all in one place was great. Also so glad you didn't try to get rid of the birth mark, one of my friends daughter had one on her shoulder and she was convinced to have it removed. Unfortunately the Dr. botched it badly and in stead of an ignorable birth mark she was very badly scared. That lead to missing some skin cancer that didn't get caught until it was stage 4.
Mrs Wizzard you did a wonderful job describing your climb to success. I have been addicted to Wizzards chanell now you are showing another side to your struggles to reach a really nice level of accomplishments. Only want you two to be happy. 😊
Great story, good on you girl, respect to you guys for the operation you have built!
Great story!
Congratulations on your shop. Its amazing to see two people work like you all do. Best wishes for continued success as the industry enters a stormy period.
Car Wizards & Mrs Wizard really have a gift of relating to their CZcams fans!😊 Wishing you both many years of success & blessings 🙏🏽
Your birth mark is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing the history.
It’s so amazing to hear others in my own situation, tired of the daily grind working for someone else, deciding to take the leap and succeeding.
I’m still stuck at the first part of that, daily grinding just unsure how to take on the risk of entrepreneurship. Gives me so much hope to hear stories of others and how they succeeded. Need to take that leap of faith with the belief that doors and opportunities may open that you could never have imagined in your original plan
Thank you, Jenny. What you talked about is a great lesson in how teamwork pays off.
You need to do a show of when Wizard met Hoovie.
Awesome.Hard work pays in the end.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Great history of Omega. I think you have to live thru some hard times and have some growing pains to really appreciate when things are going well and not take them for granted. Again thanks for this video.
Not only are you, I'm sure a great teacher , your a darn good historian
Mrs. wizard, you are a great story teller. Great video.
We love these background stories!
It shows us a lot about who you were and are!
But...perspective about what we get from people like (but not just) you.
The Wiz and the Scotty!
Two different styles of presentations...from two different generations...two very successful mechanics...with VERY different kinds of shops. And one hands on Mrs. you!
And one hands off Mrs...who I'm pretty sure was a teacher too!
But, there's a common thread.
Both Wizard and Scotty want to give information to their viewers that save them aggravation and especially money.
So hats off to both! Now more than ever, the "car public" needs you!
Thank you for sharing - great history
So proud of you Mrs wizard for sticking to dave the pressure must have been super high a lot of businesses fail because the relationships between husband and wife aren't strong enough to cope ,you left teaching but not really once a teacher all way a teacher the way you talk is Very clear and understandable, all I can see is you getting stronger stronger god bless you,dave and the kids AMEN.
Hello From Oklahoma! I actually got to see your old shop in Halstead when I dropped my 2004 XJR off with you guys last year. Apple Maps took me to your old shop (what I get for following GPS lol). It was neat to see for sure!
Also, sorry my XJR rained dust on you!! & it is still a garage queen lol!
I’ve enjoyed the content on your channel!
-Kelby Morgan
interesting to watch the journey you guys go through. 🙂
Great heartwarming story of teamwork. Thanks for sharing!
Mrs Wizard I love that I discovered your channel. Thank you Doug DeMauro and the algorhytm for introducing me to Hoovie, Weeeezard and now You!!! And of course Jonny Ninja and some others. You all are my favs!
Wonderful story, thank you for all you do.
You are a very impressive Woman and a major part of the Wizards success. I salute all the way from Bangkok.
Thanks for supporting your husband !❤.
It's fun to learn the history and learning process behind growing your own business! This inspires the rest of us in so many ways. Great video!
No new things come easy,ever. A man has to do a lot and more but once it gets going, there's no stopping 🔥❤️
Good story of hard working people. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Stay strong,stay alive.
Great background story. you have a very down to earth and sincere presentation style. When I started my business I was short on customers for the first year; then word of mouth kicked in and I had plenty of customers.
Great story....always nice to get a little back ground one the channel! Thank you!
It’s so nice to see progression and success of the Wizards channel. I’m guessing that Mr Wizard has finally conceded you the Ferrari and these videos will offset your maintenance costs. 😂😂
Thank you for the history. I am really enjoying your channel.
Love hearing Omega’s origin story! Thanks so much for sharing.
Shows hard work and perseverance pays off. Plus Wiz is honest and fair.
Very proffesional Mrs W.. thanks..great story...keep spark plugging forward
You're so good at this! Two youtube stars in that house! (SO far!)
Dear Mrs. Wizard: You guys are the best example of the "American Dream" (You Work Hard and You Get Ahead). I truly enjoy you and your husband's channels and love to see the real American Dream of families making it by working hard and delivering a service to people with honesty! Thanks for bringing such great content. Wishing you and the wizard much success!
Thank you so much for this cool Omega origin story. I've been waiting on this one for a while now, being a subscriber for a number of years. Keep up the awesome work on both channels Mrs. W!
I really love these behind the scenes videos!!! Keep up the great work Mrs Wizard!! 👍
Love the behind the scenes of how you guy's got started !! Looking forward to the new bus videos too!
Thanks Mrs. W. EVERY man needs a good support system with him.
I think your new channel will become a "roaring success" best wishes JR 🐾
Thanks for the interesting store of the shop and glad Mr wizard made it.👍👍
Great story/share!!👍❤️
