Last year at this time I was 317 pounds and now I am 210 pounds. Gotta put your mind and body into what ever you try. Love your channel.
Wow! Respect to you sir!!!
God bless you for digging in.
Respect from all us gear heads . Your channel is absolutely gold . Love from fountain ave Brooklyn ny.
Good for you!! I did the same thing 5 years ago I go to the gym 6 days a week. Keep up the good work!!
@@MrOtis07 The support is very appreciated. Thank you!
Came here for some car repair, got some life advice and some uplifting, motivational speech.
Thank you for watching and the positive feedback.
I've got to say watching these videos and not just your channel yours is probably the least but I dont know what's going on with people out there these day's as everything is always someone else's fault,everyone is stupid because they have an opinion in life,nothing is ever good enough not to mention just the way some of these people (not all) are so disrespectful to each other over a damn comment about a engine,brand,show,movie I mean I've just never seen anything like it in my life of almost 50 years!!!! Not even 10 years ago people didn't act this way towards each other I mean its sickening almost! People have got to start taking responsibility for there lives,decisions,actions and making that change if thats what's needed instead of just blurting something out about what I mentioned because we as a people have just became horrible to each other which I knoe why but I won't touch on that subject but there are alot of people that need Jesus in there life out there or atleast fix themselves instead of bringing everyone and anyone else down to make themselves feel or look better which doesn't truly work because I know they don't feel better about themselves and just embarrass themselves instead of the other person when talking to someone that way for what?? A chunk of metal? I mean come on now we can do way better than this!!! I dont know you Dave but thank you for that and having the courage to do so because it's all got to stop or it'll just get worse and worse then the Amercia we love and grew up in is just a bunch of sad,mad,confused people instead of all trying to help to benefit one another which will be a sad day as they are getting sadder for some of the ones that feel the need to act that way towards other people because of the way they feel! Try uplifting someone or helping someone maybe they'd feel better about themselves.. Anyway just my two pennies. Great show Dave!
I knew this guy was more than meets the eye. People just like this guy are put in a persons path to help a individual. Pay close attention to people like this.
Thank you so much! I agree with you. Most people are drawn to this channel because they love fixing things. And it's more than just cars. Thanks for watching.
💯 agree with you 👍🙏
Love the vibe your channel provides. Thanks for teaching people how to do it right.
I appreciate that!
As a newly retired machinist, I would have enjoyed working in your shop. Your positive attitude and gifts from God have made you a great man and example to all mankind.
Wow, thank you
Appreciate that brother. Sometimes you just have to testify, thanks for watching
Sometimes a bandaid performs miraculously, and we,re amazed at the result,s. Who know,s how and why.
It,s important to help others if its possible, sometimes that,s enough. It,s obvious you have good intentions. Most people can see and appreciate that.
Thank you.
You said more truth on this short video than these false prophets on TV have said in their whole career Dave!God Bless you brother
Yeah you don’t see that a lot in garages. I found a great guy… finally! And he decided to stop doing repairs and doing hot rods. Good for him but I lost a good one
My husband John had wrenched on cars all his life. He's 74 and still does mechanical work..you are a real pleasure to watch in this world of mechanical nightmares we have for vehicles now. Your intro on this video was truly inspirational...thank you soooo much❤❤❤❤
That is awesome!
I'm a pastor, and one of my favorite hobbies is working on my cars, boat, small engines, etc. I've been following your reels for a while and when I saw your video about positions available, I thought, "If I didn't love preaching so much, I would love to work for Dave." Your honesty and integrity and character are praiseworthy, and you seem to be the kind of person that a guy like me would enjoy being around and learning from. After watching this video, I now know that we share the same faith (which I already suspected), and I'm glad to have discovered you on social media. Keep doing what you are doing. Thanks for the great content and for setting a wonderful example for others.
God bless Pastor in Jesus name!
I don't even remember how I found this channel but I needed to have found it.
"Life isn't happening TO us, Life is happening FOR us!"
Thank you Dave!
I'm not sure how I found you guys, but the positive message you share, and the intricate knowledge you share, is such a great influence on the community, and it's such a great way to uplift others. Thank you so much for the content, thank you for the kind words, I'll keep watching to help the channel grow
Thank you, it is very fulfilling to help out - and the people who are drawn to this channel make it all worthwhile
Dave, you are the man. The type of guy you could talk about cars, trucks, and life with and not even know each other, yet feel like family
You can feel the emotion and his true belief behind what he’s preaching. Thanks for those words of inspiration.
I love your videos. The advice you give is exactly what this country needs.
The father we’ve all been waiting for. Thanks so much Dave keep up the good work much love from Alberta.
My pleasure!
Gave that Power stroke morning bread! Love positive motivating people. Dave is one of my new fav people on YT.
Thank you !!
Amen Dave! As a retired automotive repair business and Christian I love your message. Love the content and the shorts. As far as the repair on the diesel. One thing I've learned over my 45 years as a mechanic, that not all customers are appreciative end the end. Especially when you offer a "bandaid". If money is an issue now, it will always be an issue. Whether it's this repair or one on this truck in the future. I say do it right or don't do it at all.
We hear ya! Thanks for the comment, and the experienced wisdom
I’d like to give away thousands of dollars in Repairs to the folks I meet and help them out no matter what… but if I did that I’d be so busy with that work that I’d never have time for myself or others. Plus it takes Millions of dollars for that kind of thing. The fact is that people are still going to be Lazy, Negligent when it comes to maintenance of anything, and if you help them out, they sometimes just keep coming back wanting big handouts for nickel and dime payments. In the end they become Dependent Upon You more and more!
I’ve always thought that there was some great value and wisdom in that Book of stories that’s been Hijacked by modern times.
Particularly… give a man a Fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish, and prepare it for themselves, than that’s giving him a lifetime worth of food! Unfortunately like most Good Things, it has been hijacked by Greed. The world seems only to care about the next 12 seconds or less. But when they really need something they become Savages to get it!!!
Example… Covid 19 and Toilet Paper…
My 50 plus years of working on cars, Trucks and Equipment (heavy construction equipment for the Army and OTR Trucks as well) have shown me that people are mostly the problem, coupled with Corporate Greed they pay less for more Stupidity and keep raising prices and lowering the Bar as a standard.
I wonder (this is January 17,2023) how many of the electric cars are being given up on Today because it’s So cold across America and they simply can’t hold their charge anymore due to the lack of engineering that goes into their batteries. Good enough doesn’t get it. Why do we make junk ?
Think about how Negatively our society has changed over the past decade, I’ve paid attention and all of it boils down to not caring about what Responsibilities are and Accepting Accountability for you Actions. Instead we focus on blaming others… Just Quit it now!
My Daughter at 19 years old came to me and asked me to borrow my tools, to help teach a Boy How to do his own Oil Change!
Yeah he lived with his mother and I have no idea what his father did or where he was…
But at least Someone took the time to explain and teach him how to do some basic Maintenance.
It seems that responsibility for this kind of thing Could have come from the Boys Absent Father…
For those who have the talent the tools and knowledge, I challenge you to please put down your own phone and problems and teach your children how to do things that will make them feel accomplished and that basic necessity for most things mechanical is maintaining it! Granted if you’re wealthy enough you can afford to just throw money at a problem and it gets fixed by someone else who is willing to take it. But if you’re rich and stupid then you can afford to freeze to death because you’re too cheap to do the right Accountable thing that’s called maintenance.
No problem when the snow and ice melt they will eventually find your corpse, along with the other ones that are dead from being stupid enough to go die in a Blizzard because they just Have to get some where… in a Hurry… Right now… and your in their way! 😢
Love the attitude of this. Wrenching world is filled with a ton of Debby Downers. Keep your head up folks.
That's why I got out of the car business. Miserable people.
Outstanding message Dave. Thank you for passing along your motivation. Enjoy your week. God Bless
Same to you
I feel like a lot of people might think Dave rants but I honestly feel everything he says so deep and wish I had a mentor like that in my life every day. What a great guy.
I wish i can watch your video for long but i see most are short videos and i couldn't get enough watching you. My name is Sadique , a mechanic from west Africa. I love rebuilding engines
Good to hear from you! You're keeping West Africa strong with your work!
Just wanted to say you're an amazing inspiration! im a small town/ young (26 y/o automotive shop owner now with 2 guys going on my 4th year and since seeing your videos it gives me something to strive for. i love the machining side and actually went to college for automotive machining but went back to my 4th generation roots as a wrench turner. Not many shops take "care" of there customers anymore because they just want the dollar at the end and its a shame. a happy customer is a lifetime customer if you do right by them and they do right by you is what my grandfather told me. opened shop in '57!
Good to hear from you! You sound like someone who it's going to do great things
So much more than a Automotive shop. Life lessons
This is one of the most interesting channels I have ever watched, as someone who has turned a wrench for a living it’s a beautiful thing to see someone who practices the same way of doing business as myself and my father. After I got out of the Navy I started my own business and after becoming successful I was approached by a large company and let them buy me out, I then became a territorial manager for Hankook Tire and enjoyed my time there and now I’m retired at 58 because of a series of events and I am doing great because of business decisions. You give me and others a great outlet to enjoy what we did in our youth. God Bless you and yours.
I really love this guy i am from NewYork but i literally love his knowledge sharing keep the good work Dave May God Bless your business and family
Sure appreciate the good word brother, have an awesome day
I’ve been following along a few months now, and I’ve came to the opinion that you’re one of the most humble people I have ran across. Sometimes it’s good to vent and open up and speak the truth. God gives grace to the humble, but is opposed to the proud. Thank you for all that you do for your customers and for your creator above. Talked to one of your team members today about bringing my 1964 Cadillac 429 to you guys to rebuild. I see that truck is from Montana and that’s where I’m from. I truly feel that it would be worth the trip to bring that motor to you guys. Looking forward to that experience.
We would be honored. Thank you for watching our channel
This one of the best videos because we learned more about you, because it helps us to improve. When I was 15 I got a job at a Honda MC dealership as a shop boy 3 other mechanics and a old time Scottish racer service manager. I was about 5.6 110 lbs and raced bikes and was fearless and would work on the old basket case jobs that were sitting around for years and put them together again and any questions I asked Scotty. They paid me a dollar an hour and would have worked for free, it was fun and learned a lot.
I’m a contractor, I work very hard to have a good reputation, & try to teach my guys the things u talked about….. stop spending all ur $$$ on pot, start thinking of ur life in 10 yrs….. not the next few days
Dave, this just became my favorite channel. Love your testimony AND your work! Blessings!
Good to hear from you! I'm amazed at the quality of people on this channel. Brings tears to my eyes. Have an amazing day.
Thanks for videos they are awesome I work right behind your building at Home Depot
Very cool!
I really like watching your channel I am 67 years old and worked on older small block Chevys until about 7 years ago when I got where I can’t walk anymore so I enjoy watching your channel so much
Sounds like you still have passion for the industry! Good for you! You didn't let it die within you just because of a circumstance. Very powerful, brother!
Thank you for sharing about your faith I enjoy watching your videos I learned so much I do all my own repairs and sometimes help out other folks thank you for what you do. Sure nice to know that you're another believer out there too many are afraid to share their faith.
You are so welcome
I stumbled upon your channel and I appreciate your outlook and demeanor.
Thank you very much for the first part of this video. It was a true encouragement for me. Thank you sir
Love to hear that brother! We all need encouragement in this world
Love the rant. Shows heart. Your dead right. People don’t look in the mirror often enough. My dad always said the harder you work the luckier you get.
Man you speak the truth people need to listen to this advice!
G’day Dave
You are 100% correct. All your life is learning including your final minute. I wish you good luck for your future, keep the focus.
Keep smiling mate
JD
Thanks, JD! Have a great day
Dave as a gear head and truck driver your channel is the best and so informative thank for the great Learning Videos and yes they are a learning tool. God speed to you and your workers and your family MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Yes, Dave, you really have taught me to have that 4Cs in my head.Lots of love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Great message Dave.! Another one of your great videos... thanks again!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Dave thanks for your encouragement Ive been a diesel mechanic all my life. But I broke my back over 20 years ago I've have 2 surgeries but I live in chronic pain. I do what I can but I am limited as I know what aggravates my back. I'm fully retired now but still push on to do things as I can.
I love your honesty and you are correct my best work is done on my knees praying out to my Lord and Saviour.
Sorry to hear that! Sounds like you continue on very well, and that says a great deal
Sounds like you need prayers for healing many Believers don't realize God is in the healing business also
Love your channel. thank you so much for your good word!
For so so many years in my life it was the 3 Cs Complaint, Cause, Correction. But after watching you and your videos I've switched to your 4 Cs Condition, Cause, Correction, Confirm, in particular that confirm part really helps to set in stone not only right in front of ya but in your brain it almost forges it so you know for sure where you stand and can CONFIRM IT!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Dave, enjoy the fishing trip 😁😁
Good to hear from you! And the fact that you chose to step up and do the four C's shows the type of quality work you demand of yourself. Awesome!
I throughly enjoy your videos. Your a breath of fresh air on this site. Definitely into the machining processes. Thanks..please keep it up!
The internet is a cesspool of unhappy humans unwilling to do necessary steps to correct it. Successful people are successful for a reason. If you have the skills there are always good places to work or start your own. I love this channel and I don’t work on cars! ;)
Veey true! Great comment!
Dave, I love the philosophy you talked about in the first part of your video! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Love your videos Dave keep it coming. They are contagious for me, enjoy the content and questions. The industry would be so much better if they were like you guys ❤
You have a great channel and you are a real guy. Keep at it!
I appreciate that!
Great Word!
Words to live and grow by.
Appreciate this word in season.
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Dang Dave, thats some amazing words of truth and grace! Loved that whole speech you gave and you can really tell you put your heart into your words. You're an amazing Christian man, and I pray you never change the way you say it how it is and put your belief right out there for everyone to see! It's hard to do that nowadays with the amount of people who are so negative towards the word of God. You're a true man of God Dave, I hope I get the chance to meet you one day, cause man you're true in your words. God bless you!
Love this message Dave. People like this make a difference in the world. Keep going and I’ll keep supporting!
Great channel Dave!! Love how you show and explain everything. Fellow mechanic here.
Awesome, thank you!
I appreciate you for making this video
Very motivating and encouraging
You guys are awesome
Thank you so much!
Excellent outlook, advise, and stating the Truth! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Much appreciated
As another small business owner I greatly appreciate your message. We’re all in this together!
Yes, sir, that is how we feel as well
The wisdom Dave is pouring out is not just mechanical or workshop - I’m so glad to hear Mr Dave teach us all around - God keep blessing your life family and business !
Thank you! I needed to hear this today.
So glad!
Thank you for your words of encouragement and taking the time to tell people something worth hearing.
How are we only finding out about you now? What a great thinker! As a former college instructor, I preached every single day, "stay curious and engage with the problem!" Keep up the amazing work!
Greetings from south Australia as a mechanic that cant work for a living due to spinal cord damage your life advice has given me a direction
Wonderful to hear from you! Grateful that you are inspired - it's you - not me, that found the inspiration. God bless brother
Love your words and shared wisdom . Hoping you guys have fun an luck fishing . God Bless an love from Alberta ..
Thanks so much
Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom with us today. As always I walked away learning something.
Like a majority of people in here, I’ve been within the automotive industry for most of my life and there’s times we all need to build each other up instead of fighting and discouraging others. And by all means I move best in life when I give it my all and pray.
Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate your Videos. I also like that you are providing an education or at least asking questions to get people thinking on their own. I have been a Commercial Industrial HVACR Service Technician for almost 25 years, before that I was a Diesel Mechanic for 5 years. I have found the good guys in the trades are never satisfied with good enough or have enough knowledge, they keep digging for more information and solutions to problems. Thanks Again for all your hard work and educating us on the other side of the camera.
I just started watching you this past week. Everything happens for a reason. Appreciate you brother. Your words are encouraging and uplifting.
Dave, great video! Thanks 👍
Dave
Your right to the point and you have honor.From one trades man to another. Thanks
love your videos and i love the 4 c aspect you have for work and for life....keep up the good work... love from south texas
Awesome! Thank you!
This guy is awesome. Seems completely genuine too. Definitely in the top handful of CZcams channels I frequent.
I appreciate that!
Dave thank you so much for this encouraging video!!!! I watch every one of your videos!! Keep the preaching and repairing coming! May God continue to bless you and your family!!
Loved the comment on life!!!!🙏🏻 Also this is added to one of my favorite channels!!!!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Dave I could listen to you 24/7. It’s clear you are a man of wisdom through ‘doing shit’. Life ain’t easy it’s owes nothing and everything we have has to be earned, treasured and most importantly passed on - I’m talking about knowledge not material things. I’m so glad I found your videos Dave a top top bloke as we say in Scotland. 🏴
Thanks for watching from Scotland. Appreciate the good word
Ur exactly the people I wanna learn from like my pops(grandfather/ father figure) yall been around for a min and have a lot of experience and knowledge jus gotta wanna learn it like u said and u go as far as u let ur self go. Love the words u said in this vid, so much wisdom and we as the younger generation gotta listen then apply it. Good luck wit the channel I love watchin it.
That's awesome
I thought this man was a good man. Now I feel my instincts were good. I do appreciate this man. Thanks for people like this!
I really needed to hear your message today Dave. Thank you very much for giving us a glimpse into your life and perspectives!
Glad you enjoyed it
We desperately need solid mentors! Spread the wisdom Dave.
Adversity is wisdom in disguise.
Your talk was at a very challenging time in my home life and career. God is always there for those who have Faith. Thank you good Sir.
Good to hear from you. You have the inspiration inside you, I might have been there with a little spark. God bless
One of my favorite channels!
Spoken from your heart to our hearts. It is good to hear your positive outlook, about your spirituality and how you find solutions. Thanks Dave,
Well, I have loved your content and already felt just from the videos that your should be the shop to rebuild my truck's engine, but now after your encouraging words I feel even more strongly that you're the one I'll trust with it. Thanks for being so real in a time when the world needs it so much.
You are so welcome. We all need to feel that encouragement in these troubled times. Thank you for your encouragement to me.
Dave,
First off, thanks for the human and spiritual interest, thanks for the connection.
On the truck, if the owner knows where he is - a re-manufacture is expensive, not a reflection on you - but expensive,
since it'll be out of the truck, a reground crank, a set of bearings and a 'rinse out' with kerosene or spirits might get him Thousands of miles, it's always a toss of the dice.
I was in the business, on a smaller scale, and a bandaid is a bandaid, no changing that, you just hope for the best, his luck and your reputation.
Thanks for the experienced wisdom, brother!
This is my favorite channel to watch during my lunch breaks at work. Not only do i get free education, i get very useful advice on how i can improve my diagnosis strategy here at work to make the customer happy. Thanks dave you're the man.
Awesome advice and wisdom! Love this guy! I knew there was a reason why I subscribed. 👍 thank you Dave!
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for creating a great channel!
Seeing what you’re doing in your shop, your curiosity, and your pursuit of excellence is inspiring! I look forward to seeing more of your work.
A mans heart plans his way but the Lord directs his steps.
Prov 16:9. I love your attitude and veiwing your CZcams talks
God bless
Your advice is the type of wisdom I grew up listing to and firmly believe it to be true, but it's refreshing to hear it repeated from time to time. Thank you!
Stumbled across your channel. I’m not a mechanic, actually a Dentist, but my dad was, so I have some above basic knowledge of the industry. I really enjoy your message in all aspects. Funny how your diagnosis and repair processes are similar in my job. Tooth Mechanic. I have the same type of conversation with my pts. Maintenance!! Sometimes I have to bandaid , but I have to work with every pt individually. Thank you for your videos. I watch them in the evenings instead of useless tv. God Bless. Scott Breland
Thanks Dave. It's nice to hear some positive thinking while being entertained in a genuinely honest way. Thanks again for giving me something to think about
Love the channel. Thanks for the great message. It's needed these days!
I’ve been watching this man’s videos/shorts for about a month and he is one hell of a professional mechanic and shop owner, but this was an insightful commentary in the beginning of the video. We could all take a lesson from his comments. I’d like to buy that guy a cold beer.
Honesty and hard work. You nailed it Dave, thanks….
Thank you kindly
My Dad is a man of many sayings. "Practice what you preach " was one of them. Well done Dave! I'm sure God adds my faithful servant.
Dave I enjoy your commentary you are solid to the core keep the GOOD
That means alot, you have an awesome day
In 4 months you've become a mf legend! Wish you were here almost 20 years ago when CZcams first started.
This Channel is really great. The way Dave's shop is mentoring and training new mechanic talent is noble. By putting it on CZcams and thoroughly explaining everything, I've learned a great deal. People who own shops/service managers and mechanics should just spend some time listening to him talk to customers.
Dang dude you don't look like a guy who broke his neck falling off a tow truck! I'm grateful for your recovery.
I took a union steamfitter apprenticeship aptitude test a week ago after a DECADE of saying "Boy I really ought to do that someday if I want to make real money..."
Wishing you much success!
I love how Dave was honest and down to earth in the beginning of the video, keep it up Dave!
Awesome video!!!! Thank you for the words of encouragement
Your positive attitude is why your business has grown to what it is today. I'm a plumber and know nothing about cars but I enjoy your content because Of your perfectionalism.
Keep doing what you do! Not a lot of people still have that passion for doing things the right way.
Very good advise. Thanks for what you do and for caring for other people so much.
I always tip service providers, and whoever schedules the appointment. You get taken care of.❤
Good to hear that! You sound like a customer we all want to have. Appreciate your watching.
Best channel on the inter webs! Absolutely love your positive attitude!!!
Wow, thank you!
Love your professionalism an advice God Bless
Thank you! You too!
