I always look for Ray's video's when I sign on CZcams. I've been watching Ray for about 3 years, or more, now. Of all the mechanics that I've watched on CZcams, Ray has the best personality. His funny sayings and his comments make him enjoyable. His work is difficult many times but he always tries to keep a positive attitude about the situation. Watching Ray is almost like being there with him while he's working. It's just an enjoyable experience. He is an experienced professional, that explains the operation of the components and tools he works with. I'm also impressed with his family business model. HIs wife, Lauren, is office manager and she has her own website. She is a very nice lady that brings a feminine touch to the series. My wife and I worked for years together and I loved it. I believe Ray has the best auto mechanic site on CZcams.
Rainman Ray has a great sense of humor and does not shy away from directing it at himself. I really appreciate how he instructs us on how he does repairs without being a know-it-all.
I really like to watch Ray for educational content.....but moreso for his editorializing during his repairs .....being human.....being funny....and admitting mistakes. All this makes for some serious entertainment. Love this guy.
I make a point of watching Ray every day, He is a very good technician and diagnostic expert I learn something every day from his videos, Since Ray and his wife have opened their own shop, I believe his content has improved since he chooses the jobs he takes.
Rainman’s videos are very detailed and informative, like others have mentioned, you can really learned how to complete a job and understand how things work. One of my favorite channels.
Ray is an incredible mechanic. I start my day with him every day. His work ethic is undeniable. Wife unit’s channel is great too. It’s a raw look into their life. 👍
Ray is a man after my own heart. I worked for 25+ years at a computer hotline and developed some cause-and-effect techniques through those years. Ray's method of chasing a difficult issue shows his logical mind as-well-as his experience in diagnosing a puzzling problem. I have been watching his CZcams videos for over 2 years. I also admire his family dynamic with Lauren and their children. Good job Ray.
Yes Rainman Ray is my go to guy in the morning while having my coffee and oatmeal. Ray is an excellent diagnostic technicial with great repair skill. The way Ray describes in detail the repairs he is performing is fascinating to me. It's a wonder that Ray has not been approached by a technical college, to teach or at least supply videos of his builds. May be further down the road, as the arthritis in his hands starts to kick in...Oh yes I almost forgot 🦊
Ray is not only a very experienced mechanic, he is also very friendly and always prepared to share his knowledge with his viewers. He is (one of the) very postiv youtubers, that use this medium to the benefit of everyone. I also like very different channels, about woodworking for instance., so it is hard to say who is the best. But Ray is absolutely in my personal top 5.
I met Ray and his wife personally and I can say what you see on you tube is what you get in real life .They are a good honest company to go to have your car fixed with out worrying.They also have a great employee named Dave that can be trusted also.what a great organization.I’m glad I met them and use them for my truck when in need.
Ray's the kind of mechanic you wish was in your town so he could work on your vehicle. Very knowledgeable, strong diagnostic skills, and fun to watch. I also appreciate that the "parts cannon" is not a technique he advocates. I watch his videos daily.
Ray's vocabulary shows a good mind and a solid education, making him easily the most articulate of any tradesman. All his videos show both his struggles and successes, and seem an honest presentation of his work. For that reason, I find Rainman Ray among my top automotive channels, beside Scotty Kilmer and South Main Auto.
I adore Ray, he & his family show exactly how we should all be with each other. And theres not enough words to describe his skills and the way he conducts himself and treats his customers. The only way is up for both him and wife unit. I've learnt some useful things from him
Ray has shown me why repairs, even seemingly simple ones, are so time consuming and expensive. I am a subscriber and have been for a few years. I wish him the best.
Thanks for doing this on Ray. I watch Ray almost every day. His videos are very good. I started with Scotty Kilmer, then Eric the Car Guy and others like 1A-Auto. What makes Ray so good is he does the entire job from start to finish. You get to see every detail of the job, every bolt, every nut, every clip and so on. He does a lot of the work with one hand while holding the camera so you can see exactly what he is doing. He uses excellent lighting so you can actually see what he is doing. He is a non-stop talker and has a plethora of Ray-isms , like flashlight gravity when the flashlight falls, beautimus when something goes well, and a host of other made-up words. He entertains and his comedy is really good. He never has to blip his dialogue. He goes through a diagnostic analysis in the beginning of each video. He does not do parts cannon meaning just throwing parts in the vehicle to fix the problem. He is very good overall. He usually has 30 -40 minute videos and has 2-parts and 3-parts on some repairs. I can go on but you get the idea. He has his own business now that he and his wife run with help from Dave. He is very honest and makes mistakes but is always in good spirits to get the job done for the customer. Recently Dave had to remind Ray to put the backing plate on and Ray wasn't at all upset with Dave, just took it in stride. Ray often says that he loves his job so much that he does it twice. There are other mechanics that are good as well and do a good job but for now I am only watching Ray daily. Ray has two channels and his wife has one channel. I recommend Rainman Ray's Repairs channel highly. I rate this channel 5 cars out of 5 🚖🚖🚖🚖🚖
It does me good to see Ray and his family succeeding and doing well. People like Ray and his family with their hard work and determination is what makes America great.
I'm watching Ray's videos on a daily basis now. Experienced mechanics that are meticulous, honest, and have integrity such as Ray has are unfortunately few and far between these days. He's the type of mechanic you wished you had near you. Keep up the good work! *clicks*
Ray and his wife are good people. I watch them both whenever they post new videos while I wake up and drink my coffee. I already know how to do most of the things he does but I watch also to learn how he does it or see other ways around a problem. Plus Ray and his wife are entertaining and engaging. Good channels.
I agree with all of the other replies. He does a great job, and he's also not afraid of showing the (very) occasional scew up and showing how to fix them, and that says alot about his integrity. Lauren is also very important to the prossess that makes this channel one of the best of its kind.
Ray is awesome, I watch every vid he posts. Not only bc the content is extremely informative & sometimes even funny but mostly bc he has a great philosophy on work life/life in general IMO.
Extremely inspiring with technique, analysis, and captivating videos that are viewed by mechanics to help their understanding. Somebody has to replace Scotty, and Ray has my vote. There has got to be more people like Ray, they probably are not on Utube yet.
I love watching Rays videos. His witty personality along with his patience and knowledge are what I think attract people to watch and keep the viewers watching. My favorite auto mechanic channels are Rainman Rays Repairs, Eric O at SMA and Ivan at Pine Hollow Auto Disgnostics. All with great content and similar personalities with amazing knowledge and skills. Would love to see all 3 collaborate on a tough diagnosis together. Maybe even have a meet up one day.
I follow the best and most honest(in my opinion) 3 mechanics, in no particular order because I believe they are all very good, Rainman Ray, South Main Auto, and Watch Wes Work. All very honorable men.
I’m a mechanic for over 45 years .Ray is a great mechanic and a person .also ford boss me is great to I appreciate a mechanic that knows what he’s doing . KEEP Up The GREAT WORK
Ray does a great job. He is also a "wordsmith" and has an excellent sense of humor and great humility at the same time. One really bright guy, a fine family and a great shop. Would like to bring my Honda Civic to him just so he could diagnose and remedy any needs the car has. Probably not many needs and it would be best done on a vacation. Having his check out of car would be very rewarding and fun, too. This is an excellent program and sets a high standard of ethics, besides! Congrats!
Ray's content is top-notch, but I think he also deserves credit for just how well his videos are produced. Not that I'm a film critic or anything, but he could have easily had another career behind the camera.
Rainman Ray is guite good being able to talk people through what he's working on and generally through to completion. I live in the UK and enjoy his work. I'm 63 and medically retired. Got a little tip for him if interested:- when you got older stubborn rusted casing bolts or nuts and bolts, spray the bolts (WD40 or like) first and give them a few taps with the 2lb ball Paine end of the hammer after undoing others in the areas (if it's not the last). Deep Respect, Steve
Looking for his newest video I came across here. I enjoy his all around skills associated with auto repair as it helps thousands of us DIYers. I subscribed several months ago upon realizing his own shop’s opening and development.
Ive been suscribehim god to Rainnman rays repairs and Wife Unit also I'm a retired joyneyman machinist whom has a little extra time on my hands and just happened to come across his channel just by accident and now I'm hooked before opening his own shop with wiffee and has hired caster troy he's off to a great start. The previous dealership that let him go made their biggest mistake of their carear!!!
A great mechanic and one who goes into deapthwith what he is repairing. I always look forward to the nexrt adventure. keep up the good work Ray, and the same goes for his "wife unit".
I appreciate his channel. I watch it every day! What keeps my attention is that he gets straight to the point but explains as he’s doing his thing. If you have watched his videos, you need to 👍🏽
I can relate as I have a .What I mean is I am mechanically incline. Love to work on almost anything ,Because I want to fix everything.. Good Job Ray for doing it your way...👍👍 🤟
It's sad, that mechanics of his skill level, HONESTY, INTEGRITY and thoroughness are very few. I do the majority of my own work due to the lack of COMPETENCY, INTEGRITY and thoroughness in this trade. I refuse to pay $120.00 an hour for half ass work and the bullshit involved with the mechanic/stealership to have the job done right. Mechanics, IN GENERAL, just don't take any pride in their work anymore and they lack INTEGRITY, which makes it hard to trust them.
i watch ray all the time im 59 years old,i been working on cars since my first car a 1962 chevy impala,ive learned alot of technics from ray,he teaches old dogs new tricks for real,and hes funny,and makes it enjoyable,and makes me know i got this when i have to work on something
I watch Ray every morning as soon as he posts his video. In my opinion Rain man Rays and South main auto are the two top auto repair u tubers. Although we're are other good ones.
Ray's a great teacher. His vids are like an online class. Curious where he is in Florida. I live in Florida. Perhaps it would bring him additional business with a little advertising.
As a truck and marine mechanic for 40 years I greatly appreciate Ray’s insight and skills, one of the best on Utube
Ray is my favorite mechanic whom I watch daily.
Along with South Main Auto.
@@eltonyancey6426 south main auto is one that Ray has mentioned many times.
Same 👍
"More steam"
I think I've watched every one of Ray's videos, from Canada & enjoy every one of them.

An honest hard working mechanic, Ray and wife unit are great.!!!
Rainman Ray has a great sense of humor and does not shy away from directing it at himself. I really appreciate how he instructs us on how he does repairs without being a know-it-all.
He does us favors!
I really like to watch Ray for educational content.....but moreso for his editorializing during his repairs .....being human.....being funny....and admitting mistakes. All this makes for some serious entertainment. Love this guy.
His videos are how I start my day.
I've been watching Ray every day since well before he had 5000 subscribers. His skill, honesty, and integrity are all top shelf.
I make a point of watching Ray every day, He is a very good technician and diagnostic expert I learn something every day from his videos, Since Ray and his wife have opened their own shop, I believe his content has improved since he chooses the jobs he takes.

Ray is one of the few auto repair channels that I watch. His knowledge has saved me a lot of money.
Yes Rainman Ray is my go to guy in the morning while having my coffee and oatmeal. Ray is an excellent diagnostic technicial with great repair skill. The way Ray describes in detail the repairs he is performing is fascinating to me. It's a wonder that Ray has not been approached by a technical college, to teach or at least supply videos of his builds.

Yes Ray's one of my favorite mechanics, he explains what he's doing so you feel like you're there with him.
I'm not any kind of a mechanic, but I love watching his videos ever since he was at his last job. I'm so happy he has his own place now!
Ray is not only a very experienced mechanic, he is also very friendly and always prepared to share his knowledge with his viewers. He is (one of the) very postiv youtubers, that use this medium to the benefit of everyone.
I also like very different channels, about woodworking for instance., so it is hard to say who is the best. But Ray is absolutely in my personal top 5.

Ray is brilliant.So is his lovely family. Good to see him stretching himself out and becoming self employed.
He's going to do very well in life.
We love him enough said I got to meet him this year and he's as awesome in person as he he is on here
I adore Ray, he & his family show exactly how we should all be with each other. And theres not enough words to describe his skills and the way he conducts himself and treats his customers. The only way is up for both him and wife unit. I've learnt some useful things from him

Ray is a real good mechanic and very detailed in the repair.
I've never met them, but Ray and his wife seem like two of the most normal and decent people on the internet that I've seen.
I've been watching him for year's and have learned a lot from him! Keep up the good work!!!
Ray is definitely one of my favorite youtube mechanics love his videos which are entertaining and informative. Thank you Ray
It does me good to see Ray and his family succeeding and doing well. People like Ray and his family with their hard work and determination is what makes America great.
Watching Ray is part of my daily routine..learned a lot.
Every morning I look to see if Rainman Ray downloads latest videos. I have learned so much from him. Ray’s humor always makes me laugh.
I'm watching Ray's videos on a daily basis now. Experienced mechanics that are meticulous, honest, and have integrity such as Ray has are unfortunately few and far between these days. He's the type of mechanic you wished you had near you. Keep up the good work! *clicks*
This guy is Awesome.. i love that the wife joined the team too. You can hardly find many of those today..
Ray has been my favorite You Tuber since the beginning. I always learn something new from him. He & Wife Unit are great
Watch him everyday hes part of my routine 😊
Ray and his wife are good people. I watch them both whenever they post new videos while I wake up and drink my coffee. I already know how to do most of the things he does but I watch also to learn how he does it or see other ways around a problem. Plus Ray and his wife are entertaining and engaging. Good channels.
One of the best all purpose, fix anything mechanic I have ever seen.
I'm subbed to two auto repair channels Rainman Ray's and SouthMain Auto, I think they are the best.
I agree with all of the other replies. He does a great job, and he's also not afraid of showing the (very) occasional scew up and showing how to fix them, and that says alot about his integrity. Lauren is also very important to the prossess that makes this channel one of the best of its kind.
I watch ray for a long time helps me get back into mechanics and I've been working on cars since I was 13
Ray is a fantastic mechanic and teacher.
He reminds me of me when I got started in everything repairs, he will be just fine, I pray for his success, no problem for a go getter 🥰👍🏼
Ray is one of the best in the business! Hes super kind and totally honest! Hard to find these days
Ray is awesome, I watch every vid he posts. Not only bc the content is extremely informative & sometimes even funny but mostly bc he has a great philosophy on work life/life in general IMO.
Extremely inspiring with technique, analysis, and captivating videos that are viewed by mechanics to help their understanding. Somebody has to replace Scotty, and Ray has my vote. There has got to be more people like Ray, they probably are not on Utube yet.

Ray is one of the top in auto repair CZcams channels. Right up there with Eric O, Watch Wes Work, Morske.
Favorite online mechanic watch him 5 or 6 times everyday

Best and honest mechanic I wish he was my local mechanic 👨🔧
Ray and his wife are always a delight to watch! They make a perfect team and get along so well. Definitely a watch type show on a daily basis!!
I enjoy watching Rainman because he is authentic and entertaining … interesting you tube channel
Ray is the man
Ray's content is top-notch, but I think he also deserves credit for just how well his videos are produced. Not that I'm a film critic or anything, but he could have easily had another career behind the camera.
Ray is good people.he operates in a likable, honest manner.
I watch Ray every morning. First vid. He's a great mechanic and is fun to watch with much to learn here!!
Ray is Awesome. I love watching him work on auto's. He's impressive.
One of the best CZcams channels on car/truck repairs out there. He has a lot of motivation.
I enjoy watching Ray.
Rainman Ray is guite good being able to talk people through what he's working on and generally through to completion.
I live in the UK and enjoy his work. I'm 63 and medically retired. Got a little tip for him if interested:- when you got older stubborn rusted casing bolts or nuts and bolts, spray the bolts (WD40 or like) first and give them a few taps with the 2lb ball Paine end of the hammer after undoing others in the areas (if it's not the last). Deep Respect, Steve
Ray is by far the best mechanic on CZcams! I look forward to his videos daily.
Looking for his newest video I came across here. I enjoy his all around skills associated with auto repair as it helps thousands of us DIYers. I subscribed several months ago upon realizing his own shop’s opening and development.
I look forward to his videos every morning I start my day with cup of coffee and Raymond ray

Ray is the best. Watching all the way from Australia
High light of the day is having morning coffee and watching Ray
Been watching his channel for about a year now, the only problem is that we do not live close to Ray to have him work on my cars.
Very knowledgeable and patience. Help me a lot to try to work on my own car is being good thanks keep up the good work Yes, hes my favorite.🎉
Ray and wife unit are fantastic honest man does great work

What keeps my attention is that he gets straight to the point but explains as he’s doing his thing.

I am sorry to hear that, hopefully the Doctor will be able to pinpoint the issue for you both. Regards, Alan from the UK
ray is awesome guy i love all his videos
Ray and Lauren ..... good people. i watch their content often. it;s nice n shiny!
I can relate as I have a .What I mean is I am mechanically incline. Love to work on almost anything ,Because I want to fix everything..
Good Job Ray for doing it your way...👍👍 🤟
Great vids an I learn a lot he is honest an admits when he’s wrong
It's sad, that mechanics of his skill level, HONESTY, INTEGRITY and thoroughness are very few. I do the majority of my own work due to the lack of COMPETENCY, INTEGRITY and thoroughness in this trade. I refuse to pay $120.00 an hour for half ass work and the bullshit involved with the mechanic/stealership to have the job done right.
Mechanics, IN GENERAL, just don't take any pride in their work anymore and they lack INTEGRITY, which makes it hard to trust them.
Ray is easily 50% of the reason I have CZcams premium
A great guy, and has that rare integrity we are all looking for in a trusted mechanic/engineer 👍 All around, an excellent role model 🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes, he is my favorite and has a great sense of humor, and is a great mechanic, have learned a lot keep up the Awesome Work Rainman.
i watch ray all the time im 59 years old,i been working on cars since my first car a 1962 chevy impala,ive learned alot of technics from ray,he teaches old dogs new tricks for real,and hes funny,and makes it enjoyable,and makes me know i got this when i have to work on something
I love watching Ray's channel.
Love his channel. Watch daily, learned alot, im not a mechanic but impressed how honest he is. Love his wife Lauren she is HOT❤🎉
L
I am waiting every morning for the new episode .... very entertaining although I have no direct knowledge of this field...
I watch Ray every morning as soon as he posts his video. In my opinion Rain man Rays and South main auto are the two top auto repair u tubers. Although we're are other good ones.
Ray is a great mechanic and I'd say a great bloke!
Ray's a great teacher. His vids are like an online class. Curious where he is in Florida. I live in Florida. Perhaps it would bring him additional business with a little advertising.
I believe that Ray's shop is in Bradenton, FL
Ray's auto care. He is hiding his home because of creeps.
He can work on my car anytime. Love this guy
