Ms. Marie Replaces Front Brakes On Her Civic

- Ms. Marie's Civic needed some TLC on the front brakes and she is bound and determined to do it on her own. She informed me she watched some CZcams videos and was now equipped with the knowledge to carry out the task on her own.

Better watch out she might open North Main Auto
LOL
Bwahahahahaha 😂.
🤣
mawahahahaha
AirRatchetJockey the ladies are teaming up in Pennsylvania
Eric’s pucker factor was X10 when Marie was bouncing that torque wrench! Lol!
I thought at that very moment his patience was going to check out and we were going to see a meltdown.
I had my head in my hands watching that!!! 😱
I thought Eric was gonna have a heart attack
Agreed, I was cringing too. Perhaps the Harbor Freight torque wrench for the newer employees. :-) She did a great job though and Eric is a great teacher!
At 30:30 I thought, oh boy this is not going to end well.
Her unbridled joy at doing the work herself is just great. Willing to learn, great sense of humor. A true asset to SMA.
My gosh Eric, you are such a patient teacher. With miss Marie's good humor and your guidance, you gave her the confidence and encouragement to do things like this on her own. This was a pleasure to watch. And her ending was priceless. Cheers
This is the best video for anyone who doesn’t have a dad to teach them how to do a simple brake job.
Parent*
Nope, dad is a perfect word...
@@sinesiom You're implying Mom's can't teach their kids how to do a repair job. A bit closed minded of you.
No he's not implying that, but how many moms teach their kids how to do brake jobs? Like 1 mom for every 50 dads that do?
@@ThmsPtrsn Cut the PC stuff.
Brake Job: $59.99
Brake Cleaner: 2 cans
Watching this video: Priceless!!
Awesome Job Marie!
awesome job indeed!! but glad she didnt break her fancy watch
Where in the hell do you get a break job for 59.99? Just did all 4 wheels on my explorer Saturday. It was like 200 for parts. Front pads, rear pads, one rear rotor, and one front caliper.
Robert Welch i think he missed a zero lol. More like $590 here in Canada lol
I've never had a shop do my brakes. But here in Connecticut USA it's like 100 bux an hour and they charge like 3 times the retail price for parts so my explorer would have been like 700 or more.
Robert Welch I live in Connecticut also. Had front brakes done on my Durango. I purchased the parts because I planned on doing them but I ended up in the hospital. Cost $130 for the shop to do them and I paid around $100 for the brakes. I try to do as much service on my own vehicles but with all this new technology it’s impossible.
that smile is priceless. yeah, brake replacement is a relatively easy/mundane maintenance item, but there are people that have no idea how to maintain the brakes on their cars. the fact that this young lady now knows this procedure may save her in the future. I'm enjoying this channel more and more with every video. thank you Eric for being who you are
Oh my goodness! I love her! This reminds me so much of my oldest granddaughter helping me with car repairs. I was so proud when she called me and told me she had a flat and changed it herself.
For me, when my oldest daughter called to tell me she installed a new radiator herself.
I was driving along the road one day and came across my elder very pregnant daughter changing a wheel for an old lady. Elder daughter rolls her sleeves up and gets on with the job, younger daughter flaps her arms about and acts helpless.
In a world where few women can use a scissor jack, let alone change a tire, it's nice seeing a young lady that is handy enough to do a brake job. Congrats on raising her right, and that she has the genuine desire to do it herself. You're a GREAT teacher, you should be very proud.
GREAT JOB MARIE...!!!
She is a family friend but yes, she is a good learner. I taught both my daughters how to do brake jobs as well as the importance of knowing their vehicle enough to prevent crooks from taking advantage if they have to send their car to a garage.
i fully agree but would like to add that there are PLENTY of men out there who hurt themselves when you hand them a screwdriver
WHAT. no safety glasses in the shop for Marie.
@@johnadams3152 safety third
@John Adams, I was thinking that during the wire wheel portion, sometimes those wires can detach and fly off after they've taken enough strain. Nobody wants a wire bristle in the old eyeball.
Ms Marie's chipper out look and can do attitude just makes me smile. She is just so dang adorable!
She's such a cutie, she reminds me so much of my daughter in so many ways. Definitely the kinda person I'd wanna have around as a helper. Not afraid to get dirty or get hands on to get it done. If that was her first brake job, she did exceptionally well, making it look as if she has done this many time before. Excellent job
Ms. Marie
Both my daughters aren't afraid to get their hands dirty doing this type of thing. They still ask me for advice, so I'm still useful!
Eric, the world needs more people like you man! Encouraging her is awesome!
Mr. O, you claim you're not a good teacher! I'm going to call you out on that. You're obviously a good teacher and mentor. Miss Marie you're an amazing young woman God bless you.
I think it is just awesome that Marie wants to learn how to repair her own car, and you are willing to take the time to teach her. That in itself is quite unusual in today's world.
I look forward to more "Marie's Repair" videos.
...next video, Marie removes beer caps with her teeth.
I made a deal with my daughter when she bought her first car that if she bought parts I would help her with her repairs and maintenance. 20 years later I helped her replace the axles on her 2WD CR-V. She is a lot more car-savvy than her husband.
I love how excited she gets working on her car. The sense of accomplishment she has is inspiring to me.
Marie is so fortunate to have a great instructor and wanting to learn the repairs. Great job Marie and Eric.
She'll be lifting that X-Wing out of the swamp in no time.
May the Force be evenly distributed on the rotor.
That smile full of accomplishment at the end was priceless. Well done Marie! Thanks Dr. O!
It's so good to see a young person doing some hard work, and appreciating the satisfaction of a job done right. She'll take this work ethic with her all through life.
She has a great attitude. Learns fast and is skilled, not afraid to get dirty, which makes her perfect!
If she were closer, I would like her to meet my son!
Love seeing a young lady getting her hands, and face, dirty working on a car!! Great job Ms. Marie, and Eric O.!!
Go look up Mal Marie, she's a teenager who just bought a bus to convert to a home. She really gets into the work...
@@Blazer02LS thanks Blazer, I definitely will!!
Marie, you did an excellent slow and steady brake job !!! No yelling or screaming went on, just Eric getting bug eyed when you were bouncing around his million dollar torque wrench !!!! Your confidence in yourself is admirable, and you will develop leadership abilities that others will admire in you....and that will take you far in life !!!!! And Eric, nice to see you trained her so well, tip of my greasy grungy hat to you !!!!
Having just watched Mrs. O take matters into her own hands and change her oil, swap winter tires for summer and change out the cabin air filter, I'm not at all shocked to see Ms. Marie doing her brakes. I loved that she turned down gloves and wasn't embarrassed to have grease on her face. You're obviously a hero in her life and that's just awesome.
Dude, you've got a fantastic family. You and the Mrs. are very definitely doing it right.
Can't wait to see Trinity swapping the steering rack on her cozy coupe. (OK, she was driving that around the shop 7 years ago, but you get my drift...)
I'm proud to say that all 3 of my kids (including my daughter) can drive a manual, change tires and brakes. My daughter is the first one to get a call from any of her friends when they have car problems. She may call me for advice, but her friends (in high school and college) knew she was a the first one to ask.
I have never seen anyone so excited to clean a caliper bracket -- her enthusiasm is infectious!
Watching youtube and reading forum posts is how I learnt to do everything on my cars, thankyou SMA, ETCG and Chrisfix for teaching me all about car repairs :)
I watch Scotty Kilmer and bitch that everything is junk! Nothing gets fixed but I sound smart!
Hi, man this is an awsome channel for learning stuff. Eric is real good. A professional. Keep watching. Rev.
Ratchets and wrenches also is a good presenters for diy. Entertaining and educational. To bad though only 2 videos in last six months. Maybe he's still doing home improvements.
@@scottfirman Not only sounding smart! But how great and smart do ya look if you jump out of the Trunk!!!! After spending less then 10 minutes on a brake job.... (Or the one that he lost me as a viewer...Using a compression fitting on a steel brake line?!?)
@@scottfirman 😂😂😂 Scotty has a lot of knowledge, but he always says how long he's been mechanising in every video. BTW, he hates Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Fiat ,and Mercedes 😂
Marie has enough personality for two or three people. How do you keep finding people like Hannah and Marie. You both did a great job.
Sorry I'm so ignorant. I've never heard Eric say that Hannah was his daughter. Only commenters.
@@garyroberts8428 She's not his daughter she used to work for him and Marie is her friend.
@@NotParticularlyAmused That's kinda what I thought. Thanks.
This reminded me of my youngest daughter changing her valve cover gasket on her first car. She had that same enthusiasm and sense of accomplishment. Great job.
Marie wherever life is taking you I hope you're having a good time. Miss your smile and positive attitude on the channel. I'm sure whatever you do in your life you'll be a success!!!!
It makes me proud knowing that not all our youths. Are stuck in there room playing video games. My daughter has the same can do attitude at 12yrs. old. We prepare them for life and send them out into the world. Great job!!
I can agree with that! I'm 18 myself and I have at least $1,000 invested in Milwaukee tools and probably another $1,000 in others 😂 and guess what I fuckin love em all :)
It's all you can do
Good Job Miss Marie! As A Dad i'm so proud of you!
It's so awesome to see how excited Marie is to put the brakes on her car! I love that to see that she is willing to learn
Love it when someone is so enthusiastic to learn. Great to see.
14 minutes in. She looks proud of herself. Good job Marie 👍!
Ok I finished the whole thing as always, and you could watch her confidence grow exponentially throughout the video. She did excellent prep and research and asked questions about anything she needed to. Awesome. My kid would wait 3 hours of roadside assistance for a flat. You should be proud Eric O.
“Remember. . . Every tool is a hammer” haha! Classic Eric O, Great job to both of you!
Ike Godsay exept a torque wrench lol
That was the best one yet, the smile of achievement on her face at the end says it all. well done for giving her the confidence to be able to do it.
Only just watched this. What an amazing young lady, great personality, she will go far, you must be proud.
I'm loving the buzz this young woman is getting from this! All power to you! Confidence rising all the way. Well done to all concerned.
*100% more animated than camera shy Ms. Hannah.*
*I know men 3x her age that can barely check oil.*
*Outstanding job, Ms. Marie* 👏👏👍👍😎😎
HUBBABUBBA DOOPYDOOP it’s truly sad how schools don’t teach basic life skills anymore. Seems like they only teach the tests the states require for more funding. I came out of school knowing cars and cooking and sewing (which is super handy for a mechanic).
@@staceyfisher1479 Especially the part about not driving home when you have a red light (oil or temperature) on the instrument panel!
quote: " I know men 3x her age that can barely check oil."
that's very sad, just imagine how hard they can be taken
@@throttlebottle5906 (in the arse)
@@staceyfisher1479 I think it's common among young people these days to not do the basics for themselves. I work with a lot of twenty-something men and women who barely cook for themselves at all and when they do, it's food that is mostly prepared already in part or in full. Mostly, they just eat out and it is often food not good for them. As you said, the same goes for building or repairing stuff they use and need. I don't doubt that government schools are partly to blame, but I also blame parents who didn't take the time to teach their children the skills they need to be self-sufficient. However, everything a person needs to know is available on the internet so ultimately, it is up to the individual to learn; just have to want to do it.
I really like this video, reminds me of working with my daughter years ago. Them girls are awesome helpers! We are 72 and 37 years old now.
Awwww Awesome video, nothing better then watching a Father and Daughter spend some quality time together.
Archimedes owned South Main Athens Chariot repair. Math was a hobby.
I had my right horse in there for an alignment, it was pigeon toe'd and pulled to the right.
Actually he lived in syracuse. He was a Fiat Mechanic.
New shop coming soon to Avoca..BAR..Biblical Auto Repair "We repair with hope and a prayer"😃
@@VWWRENCHIE Oh I thought that meant "Ben-Hur Auto Repair".)
Did he also rent horses?
Solid laugh when she did the Brake Clean present... excellent video!
Steve Brecht But no sheep sound for Fluid Film.
The "Bahhhhh, Bahhh" was really laugh out loud funny.
I had to watch all the way to the end. Her enthusiasm and willingness to try it’s really quite something. Great job young lady! You had a very good teacher.
Your character is what makes me watch your videos,I'm not a car guy at all. You my friend are an example of what people be. May your God bless you with all of the joy and happiness you bestow on others.
What a delightful young lady. This is so much better than TV.
Been wrenching for 20yrs and I think every young boy and girl should learn the basics on cars. Great job and video. 👍
Teaching moments are priceless especially when you have someone so eager to learn. You are a great teacher and a master of your profession.
My favorite moment was the delight Ms Marie had in discovering how well an impact driver works.
Eric: "you smoked a set of brakes in a year and a half young lady"
Marie: *smirks*
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly!
I remember cooking pads in 3 months and it sure wasn't because of a fast car, just pure clownery doing dumb things ;)
that's called being a left-footed breaker almost impossible to smoke a set of brakes that quickly unless you're a left-footed breaker because a left her braker brakes too often they hit their brakes as they're accelerating from a stop sign they just are constantly hitting their brakes the left footed breaker is that idiot that you follow in traffic who hits his brakes 347 x to the three times that you've hit yours and the only reason you hit your three times was because of them .... go out for a drive with her and tell her to stop hitting her effing break so much
@@deepsquat600 Or just leave her be?
@@mikaoshatz3322 why???? she's not a delicate flower she's not going to break when she told she's doing something incorrectly and in fact perhaps dangerously and wearing her car out she should be taught to drive properly and that is not ride the damn brake pedal like a freaking moron
Found South Main because I loved how he diagnoses things and doesn’t throw parts at a problem. This however makes me smile.... I really enjoy knowledge being passed on. Good job!
Good comment. I concur.
You should also check out Pine Hollow (Ivan, Eric and him know each other), Schrodingers Box (Matt), and ScannerDanner.. Paul gets WAY in depth with his diagnosing videos, like his vids are typically an hour. It's amazing info. ChrisFix also makes great vids.
What a great teacher relationship, Marie is eager to learn and happy to get her hands dirty, Eric O is patient and explains calmly what to do and when to do it and keeps her safe, mostly. Shop safety...
Another post that made me smile throughout. My spouse of 44 years entered a male dominated work arena and dominated her competition. It was at times difficult, but she was able to convert the most chauvinistic attitudes which was was very gratifying. Once again the guidance is neutral and productive. The more I watch the more I smile, great job!
As much as I love watching Eric work on anything just by himself, I really enjoyed watching someone learn as they go. She’s lucky to be learning from you!
She's clearly a pretty smart kid, amusing too 😄.
Ms. Marie, I am so proud of you. Eric you are a patient mentor. Bravo. The very best edutainment.
Guy Wood yes she is!!!
I'm glad you taught her how to make the brakleen sound. That's the most important part of a repair.
This may be the greatest video I have seen in quite a while! Ms Marie is absolutely adorable. I love seeing a young lady getting her hands dirty and learning useful life skills. And having a great time doing it! Her excitement was contagious.
When I showed my Daughter how change breaks, Then she showed her husband how to change brakes. Knowledge is very powerful. Mr. O
Larry Mestas
See one, do one, teach one.
OMG! Marie is so totally cute!! I love her excitement towards working on her own car! She was cracking me up! I also like all the questions she asked... so bright!
Amazing job! 😊😊🤗🤗👍👍👍
Marie and Hannah are excellent mechanics
Did you get my email Cuba
She did the research, listens and is willing to learn. Young lady did an outstanding job.
I've got to say. She was refreshing and your teaching her in spots where she needed a little assistance was great. You need to have her on more often. All young women should see getting you hands a little dirty is great when you accomplish something. This is something she will tell her kids about someday.
lol "we're gonna stop the video here, cause we don't have 4 hours" :DDDDDD she did so well tho. great job Marie
Great video. Watching her express the pure joy of doing the job herself is priceless.
Archimedes with the lever, I think. 😁very brave young lady, doing a 1st brake change not only in front of Eric, but also a camera, good job Marie.
Yep. Archimedes said "Give me a place to stand, and a lever long enough, and I will move the world".
Mr. O this video is a credit to you, I salute you. How lovely to find such a keen young lady to learn from you, you also make a fantastic mentor! Marie, you did an excellent job. Your enthusiasm, pace and respect of the car and the tools is a joy to watch. May you continue in your learning and success stories for many, many years. And remember even you can teach an old dog some new tricks (One day)!
Watching young people (especially a young, smart girl) doing hands on work is so rewarding. She has a great teacher and a good head for learning too! Thank you Eric for taking the time out of your busy day to do this and share it with us! Good job well done Ms. Marie! All the best from Norway!
Awesome video! This is exactly how I want my daughters to be. I plan on teaching them as my father taught me. Good job Marie and good job Eric O. for being the great mentor you are.
My 20yo daughter needed brakes on her 10yo High-YOON-Day. We got out doubles of all the tools and did both sides at once. Done in record time, and she's ready to do it on her own.
Great job Dad for giving that guidance on a brake job ! Your daughter will be a great mechanic! Keep up the great work! David Upham.
I love this! When my daughter was about 14, the family's car had brakes squealer, she was "SOOOOO EMBARSARSED" When I picked-up and dropped-off. At the time I was working long hours so I let it ride for a bit. She DEMANDED I resolve this issue. So, I told her she would have to replace the brakes (If she ever wanted to regain her dignity). Obviously, under considerable oversight, She actually completed the brake job. On a side note; not many Dads get to have bonding moments like this with their 14 year old, much less daughter. Fast forward 3 years, She's in a car with four boys, they have a flat tire. Not one of those guys knew how to change a flat. She came home and told me they couldn't believe she made them change it under her in direction. (proud Dad moment two)
Too cute, keep teaching theses young people how things work!
This is a video I have to share with my nieces... If Ms Marie can do it, so can they!
Thank you Eric!
Ah, the memories. I had my daughter/ dad years and loved every moment and day. She is a gem. Loved the episode. Quite the personality. Smart too.
I love the "ta-da" music with the brake clean presentation and that she even does it too! I'm laughing my ass off. This is the best CZcams Automotive channel out there. Eric, Mrs. O, and all the girls working there... you're all the best.
Eric - "You want gloves?" The Lovely Miss Marie - "Nahh!"
The most beautiful dirty brake job hands I've ever seen!
When I was her age, I used to help my cousin do brake jobs and head gasket replacements at his shop for a few summers. I thought i was tough by not wearing gloves too, but then i started getting eczema on my hands. Good thing I don't live in the state of California or I might have gotten hand cancer.
I love it , “Napa not a sponsor!” Well done Marie.
Marie rockin' the "good stuff" like a boss!! A mechanic is born.
It was great to see the young lady doing the work herself and building her confidence. As the father of a confident, Independent daughter myself I believe it's important for them to understand the mechanics of the car even if they choose not to do the work themselves. Way to go.
This made my morning! You go Miss Marie, I’m impressed! You too teacher!
Good kid.
Makes you genuinely proud when they get it.
That little moment when you see the information's actually going in .
That was awesome. She was actually excited about doing her own brake job. never could get either one of my daughters excited to do anything like that.
On another note, I can see she has actually listened to you through the years from comments you have made and she says the same. That's awesome.
I have a little girl ,she asks me about every tool I have and I enjoy explaining what they all do . 😊
Made my day, well done Marie great too see such a keen enthusiastic and cheerful young lady.
Iv'e never seen anyone get so excited on using a sand blaster! Well done Marie you did a great job. What a great video thanks for sharing.
i love on how you teach others even the ladies and young men on how to work on thier cars. i wish there where more people that would show younger people on how to work on thier cars more. Great job Ms. Marie on the brake job. GREAT job teaching her and showing her the right things to do.
What a sweetheart. Glad she's learning how things really work. Most kids now don't even know how to turn a screwdriver.
Smashing job marie :-D
I have to admit i was smiling all the way through, You did a perfect job and you really enjoyed it :-D
Eric, You may be retired very soon, marie is the master now ha ha :-D
LOL'd on "how high's the bridge?"
You've done a good job training her to be able to fend for herself, and she's not even scared of getting her hands dirty without gloves! Great job and great video!
Best feeling in the world ?
1 . Watching your kids being born.
2. Watching them grow.
3. Passing your knowledge so they can pass it to there kids !!
Good job bro !!!
Great video, way to "teach" her as she went along. I was getting nervous watching her "toss/flick" the torque wrench up while tightening. You stayed much calmer than I think I would have!!
It's great to see her having so much fun and being so interested in this
You're a good father. Not only giving good skills, but confidence. Years from now, she'll be thanking you for showing how to do things.
Marie is not Eric's daughter, but a friend of Hannah's who's a family friend of Eric's.
@@MTTech, that may be so. But he acts like he is towards her, and to me, that's cool. Lots of respect towards Eric.
Eric- I know it’s a bit old, but this video is just a JOY to watch! And please tell Ms Marie that I watched it in preparation for changing my 2003 Civic brakes this week and it was SUPER helpful.
Wow Eric. Your is wrenching on her car. Doing up her own front brakes. She is following in her dad's footsteps!!👍👍
“Every tools a hammer”
Totally 😎😎😎
Well done Ms Marie!
Well... not the torque wrench.
I'm all for young people learning how to do some auto work for themselves. In this case, a young woman to boot... kudos to her!
I know in my life of owning vehicles, doing alot of the work myself has saved me a lot of time and money. Hopefully other young people, women included, can see this and get motivated to do some of these things themselves.
You are a great teacher Eric; you let her try something different that may not work but put a word of caution to stop any damage. I have the pleasure of training new techs at my job, and I feel this is the best way for someone to learn.
Absolutely fantastic, she is a lucky lady, not only does she have a great boss, but in addition to getting paid she gets knowledge that she'll keep forever.
24:59 "You don't let me go barefoot or wear flip-flops around here. Lame." LOL
Great video! This is how you learn to work on cars: with a good mentor.
You guys crack me up. I got such a warm fuzzy feeling watching you help Ms. Marie change her brake pads. Too cool
You have to appreciate the genuine enthusiasm ms Marie has and great teaching mr O!!
My daughter just did her own brakes and rotors, front. This video is almost the same. Good to see a young lady know about cars and how to fix. She won't get riped off.
