It's been interesting since the beginning of the year, 17 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.759 the workloads have really slowed down. 18 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:50.280 What do you do You think it's got to do 19 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:51.079 it to tariffs? 20 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:52.719 Do you think it has to do with the overall 21 00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.600 economy or do you think it's more of automotive in 22 00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.200 general or everything? 23 00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.759 I think everything. I mean, it's it's it is definitely 24 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.759 city wide. Everybody I talked to around town is slowing 25 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:04.400 slowing down. 26 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.400 You know a lot of people in other aspects or 27 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:13.280 other businesses are saying that. Home service companies have told 28 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:13.760 me the same. 29 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.400 Yeah, yeah, it's just and it could be weather too. 30 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:18.719 You know, we do tend to slow down a little 31 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.239 bit in the spring. We don't have the severe cold 32 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:22.079 or hot or anything. 33 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.239 You don't have people bitching about their air conditioner exactly. 34 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.400 We'll get bombarded with that probably in the next couple 35 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:29.799 of weeks. 36 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.040 Yeah, that's the people wait man, but the human nature 37 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:33.599 is the weight. 38 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:35.719 Just in case I don't need my air conditioning, I 39 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:36.400 don't want to fix it. 40 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:41.879 We had a HVAC company in Colorado Springs, great people, 41 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.840 Smith Plumbing, Heating, cooling, and electric. They're great people. And 42 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.239 he did a thing one time that was crazy. It 43 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.760 was to get new customers and tie them to them. 44 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.359 I mean, that's what every business wants to do. You 45 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:56.879 spend that initial money to get the customer, you want 46 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.799 to keep them forever. So he was giving for one hundred, 47 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.280 you would get a thousand dollars gift certificate to use. 48 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.599 So to give you an idea at the time, this 49 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.520 few years ago, he sold water heaters for like two 50 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.199 grand at the time, so you'd get a water heater 51 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.159 for one thousand and fifty dollars. So, I mean, that's 52 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.159 cheapest hell for a new water heater installed, or if 53 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.960 you wanted a new commode installed, a new toilet like 54 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.280 a regular toilet in a bathroom. Basically it would it 55 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.719 cost you about fifty bucks, okay, but you had to 56 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.800 wait like a month to use it. There was some 57 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.159 kind of term like that. But it was about the 58 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:36.319 best deal I ever heard of. 59 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.719 You could only buy one, and you could apply it 60 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.280 towards anything, a new air conditioner, water heater, whatever. 61 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.879 The bottom line was. Though we advertised this form and 62 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.400 he sold a couple of them. But people just don't 63 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.960 think ahead. They're not thinking of their water heater going out. 64 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.000 They're not thinking of replacing a toilet, so unless if 65 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.439 they needed at that very second, no one even goes there. 66 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.280 Although it was the best deal in the world world 67 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.360 like a thousand bucks off of furnace, a thousand bucks 68 00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:03.680 off of. 69 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.199 I won it even if I didn't need a water heater, 70 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:07.879 just to update it or get a new one. 71 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.520 Yeah, that's a good idea too. I was ten years old. 72 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:11.800 It's gonna go, you know it is. 73 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.360 Humans just don't think there, and I don't know why. 74 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.560 I guess I'm trying to think of certain things. 75 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.400 I've never gone out and checked my roof and said, hey, 76 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.360 I want to make sure my roof's okay. See if 77 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.120 I need a new roof. Same with my furnace, I've 78 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.120 never I mean I constantly maintain it. I change the 79 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.919 air filter in mind usually once a month. I check 80 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.280 on our steamer or humidifier, and. 81 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.479 I do stuff like that. But I never I never think, oh, 82 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.520 I'm gonna go ahead and buy something now to apply 83 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.080 to the furnace later, because I might not need a furnace. 84 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.360 Verteke, Well, that keeps coming on. It's out of mind. 85 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.879 What's the biggest thing people? By the way, I'm sorry 86 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.159 three oh three seven one, three eight, two five five. 87 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.199 You've been ripped off. You've been taking advantage of. You 88 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.520 got a bad landlord, you got a bad plumber, you 89 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.000 got to bad everything. And we do have some updates 90 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.000 coming a little later on the show that are extremely interesting. 91 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.039 But here's the deal. Three oh three seven to one, 92 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.479 three eight, two five five, three oh three Martino. We 93 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:11.240 do have open lines for the first time this week, literally, 94 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.159 three oh three Martino. It's a great time to get by, 95 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.000 especially car day. What do people neglect guys on cars? 96 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.439 I know, transmissions are easy to forget about, Jeff. If 97 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.000 you buy a Hondai, I mean pretty much they tell 98 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.720 you don't ever do anything to the transfer. 99 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.120 And the manufacturers have been telling people for you know, 100 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.439 a couple of decades now that these things are lifetime 101 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.639 fluids and you don't have to service them. And you 102 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.360 know that's the fact, the best way to make sure 103 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.360 you're going to have a failure. 104 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.759 Yes, and they don't care after one hundred thousand miles. 105 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.240 I'm just talking about holiday care. 106 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:41.759 But you know, I have a Honday. You know what, 107 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.560 other manufacturers typical three years thirty six. So after thirty 108 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:45.879 six thousand miles you're on your own. 109 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:46.800 Yeah, you're on your own. 110 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.319 So if you get can you honestly say, if you do, 111 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.560 how much is I don't know what's a normal vehicle here, 112 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.160 We're going to go to this call in a second. 113 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.959 A two thousand Toyota, a twenty ten Toyota four runner. 114 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.720 Let's just say a transmission serve on that automatic transmission, 115 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:03.879 there's three ninety five, so four. 116 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.879 Hundred bucks, and what would you say that literally would 117 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.720 extend the life of that transmission. 118 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.079 It's almost did one. 119 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:11.879 Yeah, it's almost impossible to say how much is going 120 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.360 to extend it. What you're doing is maximizing the longevity 121 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.399 of it. Okay, so the fluids will break down over 122 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.000 time and use here and you're going to have to 123 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.040 have particular that naturally builds up, so you want to 124 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.839 change filters. So, but what you're doing is if you 125 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.839 go in every three years of thirty six thousand miles, 126 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.639 get this stuff changed out, it keeps those additives boost 127 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.319 it up, so it increases your lubrication, the oxidation inhibitors, 128 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.519 all the other the additives that are inside, they're alive, 129 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.279 so that you're maximizing the life of that. 130 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.000 Why don't they use and this might sound ignorant, but 131 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.639 if a transmission service is typically called for, let's just 132 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.240 take that again. In twenty ten, when that Forerunner was sold, 133 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.040 what how long till the first transmission service is called for? 134 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.800 And the owners owner's manual probably called for about seventy 135 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:57.519 five to eighty thousand. 136 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.399 Okay, now, why when's the first oil change? 137 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.879 Well they're saying that too, that's as they're going ten 138 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:05.360 and twelve thousand, now, well not. 139 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:10.079 In twenty ten, yeah they are, okay, so ten thousand, yeah, ten. 140 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.920 So but here's the question, why don't they use that 141 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.920 same kind of fluid in the engine that they do 142 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.000 in the transmission In other words, if one they're saying 143 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.120 is good for seventy five thousand miles and the others 144 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.079 only good for ten, my god, why aren't they doing 145 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:26.560 something different on the oil. 146 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.920 You've got a whole lot different going on in an 147 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.120 engine compared to a transmission. If you're going to get 148 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.360 some blow by, you're gonna get some gas that's going 149 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.160 to build up inside the oil itself, it's going to 150 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:37.839 deteriorate much much faster. 151 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:39.360 I got you. 152 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.079 It's just peried a different system, different kind of it's. 153 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:44.480 Thein to createtation. You know, you start doing ten and 154 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.000 twelve thousand mile oil changes in fifty sixty thousand miles, 155 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.680 your engine is full of sludge. 156 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.480 But we can all agree as far as just traditional 157 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.360 oil compared to fully synthetic now it's night and day. 158 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.319 As far as breaking down, oh yeah, I mean oil. 159 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:01.720 Yeah. 160 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.600 One of the biggest things too, you know, especially for 161 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:05.600 people who do their own oil change, is this, don't 162 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.560 scrimp on that oil filter. Yes, the cheap oil filters 163 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:10.959 are exactly that bare. 164 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.680 Unless you're bro I would say, if you're doing them 165 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.040 every three thousand miles like the old days, maybe it 166 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.040 wasn't that big of a deal. 167 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.240 Well, it's a different Micron system. Though you want to 168 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.399 get everything out, you don't want to get some of 169 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:21.759 them on your guys. 170 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.000 Let's just talk cost real quick. Since she brought it 171 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.240 up like a cheap NAPA filter their cheapest line compared 172 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.160 to their best one. I mean, is it a five 173 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.399 dollars difference in cost? 174 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.160 Ten dollars five to six on our end, probably ten 175 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.519 to twelve on the customer end. Okay, so I mean 176 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:37.399 it's significant. 177 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.319 It does add to it. But I mean I could 178 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.680 buy filters for a buck. 179 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:41.240 What do you do? 180 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:42.879 Do you upsil on that? 181 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:43.240 Now? 182 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.879 I won't do a synthetic old change with a cheap filter. 183 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.600 You just simply won't do it. It's just not worth it. No, no, y, 184 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.160 Why buy the best oil and the cheapest filter. 185 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:53.480 Yeah? 186 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.279 What what is the difference between synthetic oil and non 187 00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:58.120 synthetic oil. 188 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:02.319 Synthetic has nothing to do withocil fuels. It's literally synthetic. 189 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.279 Is processed with petroleum. 190 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.480 Well, no, I knew there was like a semisynthetic. 191 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.519 The synthetic oil is actually petroleum product, isnt know? Do 192 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.000 they call it synthetic because it's synthesized to make the 193 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.480 standards that they have. Wow, it's a process they use it. 194 00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:21.439 It's not man made. 195 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.079 No, it is patron It was man made. It has 196 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:24.360 to be. 197 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.720 That was my point. It has to be from petroleum 198 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.480 somehow because it is patrol. 199 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:29.759 Why. 200 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.639 I mean we have things stacked like vegetable oil. I mean, 201 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.559 I'm just throwing that out there. I mean, vegetable oil 202 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.200 is an oil. It could be vextibles that. 203 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:39.000 I know that. 204 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.960 That's what I thought. Synthetic oil came from something. The 205 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.840 name is stupid. I'm sorry, the name is stupid. 206 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.360 I really I sold a crapload of that stuff too, 207 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.360 and I never even realized it was still patrol. Is 208 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.000 it like ninety percent petroleum based that? 209 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.360 I don't know. It's the additive package and the process 210 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.440 they put it through to get it to do you know, 211 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.080 it's it's it's just synthesis. 212 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.279 Well, the attitude right before I exited in about two 213 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:09.360 thy fourteen fifteen, my good years fourteen, oil was really 214 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.480 getting complicated. 215 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:10.759 Man. 216 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.159 It was getting to the point, depending on the car 217 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.440 coming in, you had to have a different additive package 218 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.399 or you could avoid the warranty on certain vehicles like bmwuser. 219 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.320 Oh, there's all kinds of ratings on oils you have 220 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:23.480 to catch off, and that's right. 221 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.080 In some of the oils you might cover most of 222 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:26.679 the ratings. 223 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.000 Dexos is one rating for that Chevy mostly. 224 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.720 Yeah, that was a big one, and a lot of 225 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.559 the oil you could buy back in thirteen or fourteen, 226 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.799 the bulk stuff might have not been that SOOS approved, correct, 227 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.320 I mean it got it was starting to get complicated. 228 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.639 Hey JR. What's going on with this four runner? 229 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:46.559 Yeah? 230 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.840 Talking about the oil change. 231 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.799 I changed the fluid every three thousand on that transmission 232 00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:55.639 of Colon what and I have two hundred and eight 233 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:56.840 thousand miles on it now? 234 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.440 Man, there are so many toyotas out there with like 235 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.240 two hundred to five hundred thousand, it's remarkable. 236 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.279 They're very durable in it. 237 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.519 Okay, what can I expect out of durability? And when 238 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.440 do it? And so basically you're saying, you change, you 239 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.679 change your transmission fluid since you've had it every thirty 240 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:17.360 thousand miles, which should you expect me thirty thousand? Yeah, 241 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.639 every third drop the pan sometimes and there's no problem 242 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.120 with the screen in there. It's running great at this time. Yeah, okay, just. 243 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.759 Short of a catastrophic failure. I mean it's two hundred thousand. 244 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:32.039 I mean, obviously anything can happen, but it's not uncommon 245 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.080 for us to see you know, three, sometimes even four 246 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.879 hundred thousand miles on some of the toyotas. That being said, 247 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.799 you know, if I have one crawl in the shop 248 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.440 and you just got one hundred and thirty five thousand, 249 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.320 you know that's not surprising either. The car counted for 250 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.720 you don't like the four runners and the Comas and 251 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.039 the tundrads. We see far less of those than we 252 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:50.519 probably do most of the other brands. 253 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:53.559 You know what's interesting, and I think driving habits have 254 00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:55.639 a lot to do with it. If you took that 255 00:10:55.879 --> 00:11:00.399 exact same truck thirty thousand zero two owners, one eyes hit, 256 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.279 the other bysh they both do the service through you 257 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.440 every thirty thousand miles, but one is heavy, heavy on 258 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.759 the heavy on the hammer. One drives it tough off 259 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.039 the start, breaks hard. That that's a huge part of 260 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:14.320 it too. 261 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:15.279 It's a huge part of it. 262 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.000 You know, if you live in a mountain community you're 263 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.240 doing a lot of hill driving, or if you're out 264 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.440 on the farm, yeah, or bouncing around, bouncing around, or 265 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:23.840 you give it to your sixteen year old kid. 266 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:24.759 That's about the fastest wave. 267 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.679 Blak Jr. Just keep taking care of it. Whatever the 268 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:32.279 hell you're doing is doing great.

You can get mugged, your car 271 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:37.600 can get stolen. 272 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.600 But yeah, yeah, but you're obviously city driving though to 273 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.519 his running. 274 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.399 Away from gangs from Venezuela. Yeah, I get it. 275 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.279 The city drive there's a lot more shift busy because 276 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.159 you're you know, you're constantly coming up to stop blights, 277 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.159 and it's and so on and so forth. 278 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.159 So it's going to have to work. 279 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.519 Get carpared the highway where it's in whatever you're cruising forever, right, Yeah, 280 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.240 that's sounds like a gray. 281 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.399 Vehicle point for those transmissions. 282 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.559 It's a Hasten, right, Yeah, it's. 283 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.879 A a seven fifty f is what you've got inside. 284 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:08.440 There must be. 285 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:10.200 With them. 286 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.000 We see more foul body complaints on them than anything else. 287 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:13.919 It's on the way problems. 288 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.240 Is it lack of service or driving It's just going 289 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:16.799 to be a failure. 290 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.120 I mean it's some point. Yeah, is at some point. 291 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.679 Most of the time what we see on them is 292 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.600 usually fouled bodies costs.

I like listening 336 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.039 to him because I sit on the opposite side and 337 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.840 I really do want to, you know, I just don't 338 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.320 want to be tunnel visioned. My parents are tunnel visioned. 339 00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.440 They only see one direction, and I just refuse to 340 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:34.679 end up that way.

No, but his show, really, 349 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.360 I look at it as commentary. I don't look at 350 00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:57.840 it as. 351 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.519 A new show. Except for the weather, that's it. 352 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.039 But I can honestly say, Kyle, if you're listening, I 353 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.440 listened to you, and I've sent you feedback. He's never 354 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.039 taken my feedback, like what are you a moron? He's 355 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.879 yet to read that on there. But he does take 356 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.159 some feedback that's critical. There's no doubt he does it 357 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.360 to the end.

Then what you could 568 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.000 always do is save that benefit and your kids could 569 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:46.240 use it.

Now I know why he's texting around midnight. 669 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.279 And finally the referral list member text him today and says, 670 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:24.759 look here, I'm going to read this verbatim. I want 671 00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.519 people to tell me what they think about this. So 672 00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.079 this guy was a little late on starting the job, 673 00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.160 but there's a lot more to it. In fact, there's 674 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:34.960 so much more to it I'm not even going to 675 00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.160 get into it. But he was about a month late 676 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.160 starting the job. And here's what he said. This guy 677 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.079 wanted his money back altogether.

The caller, sure, 702 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:58.720 but this guy steps up and literally says that you 703 00:30:58.839 --> 00:30:59.079 have to. 704 00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:01.319 Be able to control the job.

When I get the oil changed, is 742 00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:35.920 it okay safe to go ahead and move to a 743 00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.720 synthetic blend to to keep the keep the jeep running? 744 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:42.240 I got a follow up question before you answer that 745 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:47.000 if something calls for particular ten thirty or whatever that 746 00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:50.359 jeep would call for and synthetic, of course wasn't around 747 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.839 at the time, would you still want to use what's 748 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.200 in the manual? Go ahead? 749 00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:57.400 Well, yeah, but there are upgrades you can and synthetic 750 00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:59.519 is an upgrade in my opinion. You know, I would 751 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:01.680 go straight synthetic and not even think about it. 752 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:04.680 Is there any benefit to it though. 753 00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:08.640 Just better lubricating qualities, especially for vehicles going to be parked. 754 00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:11.920 You want the lubrication and other things when you start 755 00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:12.400 it cold. 756 00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.240 I guess I'm asking this Kevin, And then Kevin the caller, 757 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.559 let me ask you how often do you oil changes 758 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:19.160 on it? Every three thousand. 759 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:22.720 More like every two years, which is gonna be less 760 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.519 than three thousand miles for sure, So I guess. 761 00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:27.960 What I'm saying is the cost difference. Let's say he 762 00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.720 does it himself. When you go to Walmart and buy oil. 763 00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:33.440 I mean, the full synthetic costs quite a bit more 764 00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:34.759 than the cheap stuff two. 765 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:36.599 Bucks a court more. So you about ten dollars more 766 00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.119 if you're doing it yourself. Okay, so it's not negligible, 767 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:41.480 but for me, I would put the best in there 768 00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:44.880 because it requires a lot more on a cold start 769 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.319 a car sitting. Yeah, that's exactly it. 770 00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.880 Yeah, what do you think, Kevin? Any other questions? 771 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:53.559 I know that's a perfect answer though. 772 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:54.160 I appreciate that. 773 00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:56.799 I like the fact that, especially in the cold start aspect, 774 00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:59.400 because it sits in drains obviously for months. And then 775 00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:01.079 I go ahead and still so if I've got the 776 00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.839 lub to still in there, because the synthetic sounds like 777 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:04.799 the much better approach. 778 00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:05.759 So that's what I we'll move on to. 779 00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:09.039 Thanks awesome man, appreciate it all right.

I guess occasionally I should 819 00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.079 say my name. Most people know it by now, but 820 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:18.320 Mark Major I occasionally. 821 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.000 Generally I never. I never say who I am. Do 822 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:25.039 people either know me or not? And here's the reason. 823 00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:27.840 People go, why you guys have been in studio with me? 824 00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:31.239 I get called Actually I haven't been called Tom in 825 00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:34.880 a while, but for the last ten years I just 826 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:39.039 get called Tom. So instead of correcting someone every five seconds, 827 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:43.159 I just simply just whatever I answer to whoever whatever. 828 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:45.480 But I met up with Tom. 829 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:51.559 I first filled in with mister Martino at thirteenth in Lawrence, downtown, Denver, 830 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:56.000 when a company named Jay cor actually owned six thirty 831 00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.239 k atch a w and I hey, Shannon, they owned 832 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:00.440 eight fifty at the time too, correct. 833 00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:06.199 Yeah, because it was noble that just had ay. How oh, 834 00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:10.960 I didn't know that John Lynch's family. Okay, So here's 835 00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:14.480 basically how I met him. I had a computer store 836 00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.840 back then. I had computer stores, Mountain Peak Computers. 837 00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:20.239 I had a small internet company, and eventually I had 838 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:23.159 three computer stores, one in Parker, one in Denver, one 839 00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:27.239 in Lyttleton. And they were kind of like radio shack sizes, 840 00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.199 and all we did was fixed computers, build computers. This 841 00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:34.800 is a mid nineties I started doing what we're doing 842 00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:39.119 right now. Car Friday was Computer Friday way back in 843 00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:42.280 the nineties on the Troubleshooter Show. So every Friday I 844 00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:44.320 was like, you guys, I would go in with Tom. 845 00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.559 I was sitting there. It's a great story. I was 846 00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:51.360 sitting there, Sister Laurie was answering the phones. Father John 847 00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.599 was sitting next to me. And it's a very small studio, 848 00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:57.159 nothing like this. There's basically this. 849 00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:00.800 Tom was on that side, me and five John round 850 00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:04.599 this side. Lurie was right back here. Very small studio, 851 00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:05.760 nothing like this. 852 00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.639 Tom looks at me. We've got about forty five minutes 853 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:11.960 left in the show. I'd have already been in for 854 00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:16.559 Computer Fridays at least at least twenty times, so half 855 00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:18.920 a year whatever that is, so I'm used to what's 856 00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.280 going on. Plus I listened to him all the time. 857 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:23.800 And I do want to say this. Back then, you 858 00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:26.880 couldn't advertise with Tom because he was on I think 859 00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:31.440 channel four seven whatever newscast would not allow him to advertise, 860 00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:34.280 so you would not hear him do commercials during the show. 861 00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:36.719 But I would comm in all the time with Mountain 862 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:39.360 Peak Computers on Fridays, and we just had a great time. 863 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:42.679 We really started getting to like each other a lot, 864 00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.039 and you know, the rest is history there. But first 865 00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:49.679 time I filled in, I'm sitting there Tom's air. He 866 00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:54.119 starts turning green. It was very evident something was not 867 00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:58.679 right with him. He turns around in projectile vomits into 868 00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:01.519 the trash can and it says, you're finishing the show. 869 00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:03.679 And that's the last I saw of them that day. 870 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:08.480 So talk about baptism by fire. So I simply walked 871 00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:10.519 around to the other side. We had full lines and 872 00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:11.480 I just do what I do. 873 00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:12.480 Must be the answer. 874 00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:14.920 It must have been those damn an show bees on 875 00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.800 the piazza. Yes, it must have been, so that was 876 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:20.440 the first time. I would guess that was nineteen ninety 877 00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:22.920 five or six. And then we did a lot of 878 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.320 stuff together up through y two k It got to 879 00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:28.960 the point where Tom was actually syndicated right before nine 880 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:31.239 to eleven. I'm kind of telling the story of the 881 00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:32.800 show because I never do it if you're new to 882 00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.960 the show. Here's how we survive forty five years. So 883 00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:38.599 somewhere in lou I promise I'll get to the engine, 884 00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:40.119 and I do want to say this. We do have 885 00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:42.719 a couple of lines open three zero three seven one 886 00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:46.159 three eight two five five, call right now. Any questions, complaints, 887 00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:48.760 advice you need three h three Martine with his car 888 00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:52.920 day soap. Around two thousand we were syndicated by I 889 00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:55.480 believe it was called Shannon. I'm gonna ask you to 890 00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:58.719 help me again. Is it west Word or west Wood? 891 00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:03.119 Do you rememb I think Westwood did our syndication. 892 00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:05.119 No, you don't know. 893 00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:09.440 I'm pretty sure. So we were everywhere from California to 894 00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:12.239 New York City. In fact, I still have a map, 895 00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.280 or at least a picture of the map every city 896 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:14.639 we were in. 897 00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.480 It was crazy. And then you go, well, what happened? Why? 898 00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:19.760 Why are you only on a handful of stations. Now, 899 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:21.840 I'll tell you what happened. It's called nine to eleven, 900 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:25.039 Rush Limbaugh. A lot of these people were born, and 901 00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:30.760 that's where it all came up. Everything went political one 902 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:34.159 hundred percent right after nine to eleven, and we went 903 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.440 back to basically local with a few other syndication channels. 904 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.840 Then we separated ways. I'm not going to get into why. 905 00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:45.760 I'm not going to say why, but man, am I itching. 906 00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:49.000 You guys can see I'm mitching. I'm mitching. I'm mitching, 907 00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:50.679 but I'm not going to say why. 908 00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:55.239 For about ten years, and then ten years went by, 909 00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:59.360 So now we're around twenty fourteen. I happened to sell off. 910 00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.519 I told the computer stores way before that, but I 911 00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:06.559 bought Goodyear stores somewhere around I want to say two 912 00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:09.440 thousand and five or six. I had five Goodyear stores, 913 00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:13.159 and I sold my very last one right around twenty fourteen. 914 00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:16.119 I sold the building downtown Denver and the store it 915 00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:18.960 was in, and I sold the other ones, and I 916 00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.039 was done with the automotive industry.

I'll just say it. They can 922 00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:41.559 be insane. And it was a very I just didn't 923 00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:44.400 like it. I didn't like smelling like tires, I didn't 924 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:45.599 like smelling like oil. 925 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:47.119 I just did not like the business. 926 00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:50.239 So I sold the last one, did very well on them, 927 00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.880 very well, and I didn't know what I was going 928 00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:55.960 to do. I started looking for franchises, you name it. 929 00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:58.440 I was looking at it. I could have owned five 930 00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:02.159 sports Clips by now, twenty sports Clips or dog topi Is. 931 00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:05.159 I looked at anything you could imagine. And then I 932 00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:08.280 get this call from someone I hadn't talked to in 933 00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:12.199 ten years, and it was Martino, and he said, hey, 934 00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:16.079 I've got some stuff going on. You're the guy man. 935 00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:17.960 I want you to come in and start filling in 936 00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:19.639 for me.

So I came 941 00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:32.000 back in and that was about twenty fifteen and here 942 00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:34.400 we are ten years later.

Then it starts shaking, vibrating. But if he 1044 00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.559 puts it in neutral then all of a sudden, the 1045 00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:35.760 shaking and vibrating stops.

They couldn't couldn't meet the emission 1057 00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:03.800 demands with carburetors. Ah, got it? 1058 00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:05.840 So is EPA more so, what do you guys think 1059 00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:08.519 on lose issue with this Prestine escort? 1060 00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.559 It could be a dozen things, you know, from a 1061 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:13.639 broken motor mount. 1062 00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:15.920 How about just a clogged up fuel injector. 1063 00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:18.440 It could be an injector of plug, I mean almost anything. 1064 00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:20.719 How do you troubleshoot something like that? Guys, where do 1065 00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:23.719 you even start? Is there even like ODB two on 1066 00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:24.880 that or anything. 1067 00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:27.519 That's pre OBD that's that's manufacturer Ford. Yeah, I mean 1068 00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:30.679 you're just like, yeah, no, that's you really need to 1069 00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:32.360 know what you're doing in the older ones because there 1070 00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:33.440 is no help from the scanner. 1071 00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:35.760 So it could be a spark plug, a spark plug, wire, 1072 00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:36.639 could be a coil. 1073 00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:39.679 It could be a fuel injector pressure. It could be 1074 00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:42.199 crappy gas. It could be water in the gas tank. 1075 00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:44.199 It could be some simple like you said, you know what, 1076 00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:46.320 broken engine mound, So I mean, could be the engine's 1077 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:48.360 going to torque when you're sitting on a load like that, 1078 00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:51.000 and if it's resting against the subframe or something, you're 1079 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:52.239 going to get a vibration out of there. 1080 00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:56.519 So when you put something into neutral, well, and I'm 1081 00:48:56.559 --> 00:48:59.880 talking something like a nineteen ninety one Ford Escort, when 1082 00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:02.800 you put that into neutral, why does the what does 1083 00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:04.480 that mean the load's taken off of it? 1084 00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:07.880 I don't get that, okay, So when now it's actually 1085 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.920 trying to force itself down the road. So the engine's 1086 00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:12.960 naturally going to rock inside the cradle, it's going to 1087 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:14.599 go one direction forward, it's going to go the other 1088 00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:17.280 direction in reverse. So if you have a broken engine mountain, 1089 00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:20.280 it's leaning back and it's rubbed up against the firewall 1090 00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.000 or the subframe or just about anything solid, then you 1091 00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:24.199 can create vibrations. 1092 00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:27.079 Okay, how bad does it get Lou? 1093 00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:34.000 Not super bad, but it only does it Like I said, 1094 00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:36.519 I'm underload in part or not part. 1095 00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:40.599 But yeah, what does it do in parking? Should act 1096 00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:41.280 just like neutral? 1097 00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:42.480 It's fine, it's. 1098 00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:44.719 Fine, So you just got to get it somewhere to 1099 00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:46.880 check out. I mean, honestly, Kevin, how long does it 1100 00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:48.719 take to check out something like that? It can't be 1101 00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:49.519 brain surgery. 1102 00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:51.280 I mean if it comes down on motor man, it's 1103 00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:52.719 obvious like that. Fifteen minutes. 1104 00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:54.920 Yeah, I mean it's right, there is that something. How 1105 00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:56.960 do you guys work to you? Guys eyeball something like 1106 00:49:57.079 --> 00:49:57.760 that for free? 1107 00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.199 And then if it's not something real basically like a 1108 00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:02.679 motor mount, then you're like, hey, we got to spend 1109 00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:03.320 a shark bocks. 1110 00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:06.239 We always start out just complimentary inspection. Yep. 1111 00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:08.440 Nice. Why don't you just bring it down to Sheridan. 1112 00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:11.559 That's a good thought. 1113 00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:13.320 Where do you live, Lou. 1114 00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:15.960 Springs? 1115 00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:22.119 Oh well that's an awful long drive. But Jesse's down there, man, honest, accurate. 1116 00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:25.519 Those guys are great. They got two locations in Colorado Springs. 1117 00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:28.639 They'll eyeball it. Just like we're talking about for free man. 1118 00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:32.119 As long as it's not something crazy, I bet they 1119 00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:34.199 figure it out in a few minutes. It probably is 1120 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.239 like a motor mount or maybe what a spark plug 1121 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:39.280 wire do that? Guys are a bad spark plug? 1122 00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:39.960 It can? 1123 00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:41.639 It can, but you feel it under a cap. 1124 00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:44.239 Who That's what I was going to say. Why would 1125 00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:46.480 it be different underload or not? 1126 00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:50.039 Yep, No, I think the consensus and it probably is 1127 00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.079 a motormount either worn or broken. 1128 00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:55.239 The fuel injector I could understand because as it's asking 1129 00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:57.840 for more fuel, it might be spraying fine. 1130 00:50:57.599 --> 00:50:58.360 Yeah, and he can go. 1131 00:50:58.440 --> 00:50:59.599 If it's going to be a while before he can 1132 00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:01.320 get into Jesse, you can get a can of BG 1133 00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:03.480 forty four k, run that with a full tank of 1134 00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:04.719 fuel and see what doesn't clean up? 1135 00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.039 Yeah, if it's a fuel injector and you dump some 1136 00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:09.079 of that forty four K in there, Lou, how much 1137 00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:09.880 is that stuff now? 1138 00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:10.280 Thirty? 1139 00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:12.559 Maybe under twenty four five? 1140 00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:14.519 Yeah, okay, so it's basically sad price. 1141 00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:15.599 You might try that. 1142 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:18.760 Don't go buy some of that like cheap STP gas 1143 00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:20.360 additive for like ninety nine. 1144 00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:21.920 Cents without a doubt. Stick with BG. 1145 00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:25.880 Yeah, get the BG forty four K or product you 1146 00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.199 got it, and then if that doesn't clear it up, 1147 00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:31.840 get it down to Jesse or get it to Jesse first. 1148 00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:33.679 Honest acc here at Colorado Springs. 1149 00:51:33.719 --> 00:51:34.639 You can always find him. 1150 00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:40.079 On a referral list at referral list dot com as well. Guys, 1151 00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:44.840 how often do you see any vehicles in your shops, 1152 00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:48.719 whether it's yours, camera, transmission or shared an auto tech 1153 00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:50.519 that are made in the nineties. 1154 00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:54.920 I mean a lot more than we'd like intellectuality, because 1155 00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:56.280 the parts are gotten harder to find. 1156 00:51:57.559 --> 00:52:01.440 Parts are possible to find the transmission world, What is 1157 00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:04.800 the nightmare that you'll work on? I realize there's some 1158 00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:06.079 cars you're not gonna. 1159 00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:08.559 We've actually started turning away a lot of the classics 1160 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:10.800 and the antiques simply because of the. 1161 00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:13.159 Lack of available parts. You just can't, can't and you 1162 00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:14.360 can't sit them there forever. 1163 00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:16.480 And when you do find them, they're so gushed on 1164 00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:18.800 expensive it almost makes the job not worth it, unless 1165 00:52:18.800 --> 00:52:21.079 it's something that's you know, somebody's project cars that they're 1166 00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:22.159 restoring or something like that. 1167 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:23.280 They're putting the big bucks in. 1168 00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:25.960 Exactly. It's like, at this point, now you really need 1169 00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:27.199 to consider retiring this car. 1170 00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:31.000 You know, I do remember the one thing that would 1171 00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:34.159 drive me nuts in the automotive businesses. Occasionally I would 1172 00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:37.119 take on a bigger project like an engine swap or 1173 00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:39.800 a used engine, or even a rebuild, pull the old one, 1174 00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:43.840 get a jasper in and I started calculating stuff. 1175 00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:46.960 And unless you got that a tech that's done it 1176 00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:48.800 one hundred times and you can get it in and 1177 00:52:48.920 --> 00:52:51.519 out and you can source the part quick, that real 1178 00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:54.280 estate inside the shop is all your money. Man, you 1179 00:52:54.440 --> 00:52:56.440 tie a damn bay up. I mean, think of a 1180 00:52:56.480 --> 00:52:59.360 hairdresser and she's got one bay and what are you 1181 00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:02.559 going to do? You gonna do twenty haircuts or you're 1182 00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:05.079 gonna do one haircut. I mean it really comes down 1183 00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:08.400 to the same kind of analogy. So unless if you're charging, 1184 00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:11.039 you know, a woman comes in and gets a perm 1185 00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:13.960 and gets color and gets everything, and you're making two 1186 00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:17.360 or three hundred bucks, maybe you'll do it. But still, 1187 00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:20.920 if you can do twenty haircuts for fifty bucks a 1188 00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:23.519 piece and make more money, I mean you got to decide. 1189 00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:24.960 And there was a lot of times I was like 1190 00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.519 I almost said sh I almost said it. I didn't 1191 00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:33.239 as Shannon's looking at me like I caught myself. But honestly, 1192 00:53:33.320 --> 00:53:35.760 there is so many times I'd be like, geez, I 1193 00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.079 can't believe I did that. That car's been there a 1194 00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:40.880 week and a half. I have lost so much revenue 1195 00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:43.840 it's crazy. Hey, Jay, what's your comment on that escort? 1196 00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:50.239 On those as they were getting to the computers and stuff, 1197 00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:53.199 a lot of them had a torque converter solenoid. It 1198 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:55.239 would go bad, and as you came to stop the 1199 00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:59.280 torque converter, you'd want to stay engaged. It would just 1200 00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:01.719 make to think take like crazy, or it even kill 1201 00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:03.880 the motor when it got bad enough. So it may 1202 00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:06.400 just be as simple as that torque converter is not unlocking. 1203 00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:08.920 It'd be very very common back then. 1204 00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:10.679 What does that mean though, Does that mean he needs 1205 00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:11.519 a new torque converter? 1206 00:54:11.679 --> 00:54:14.199 Jests No, most likely, not particularly about kind of low 1207 00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:14.639 with miles. 1208 00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:15.400 What do you do? 1209 00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:17.440 It'd usually just change out the soloid. It was more 1210 00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:19.400 common to see that on the GM products, and it 1211 00:54:19.559 --> 00:54:23.039 was the forge way way way more common. Yeah, we 1212 00:54:23.039 --> 00:54:24.880 always knew when spring was hitting because that's one of 1213 00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:27.199 you know, all the cavaliers would start coming in, shutting 1214 00:54:27.239 --> 00:54:27.880 down the vehicles. 1215 00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:29.159 Kay, what do you do? 1216 00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:31.079 I mean, it's evident you're somewhat in the biz. 1217 00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:31.679 Or was. 1218 00:54:33.400 --> 00:54:36.400 I was during the very few good years of it. 1219 00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:40.800 I actually was the head mechanic at Corvette Denver, Tom's 1220 00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:41.639 favorite chop ever. 1221 00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:44.440 Oh you mean Purifoy or coach. I don't know who 1222 00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:44.800 that is. 1223 00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:49.119 Corvette Denver. The owner of Corvette Denver took Tom to 1224 00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:50.800 a Supreme Court twice. 1225 00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:52.559 No kid, not kidding you. 1226 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:54.880 Yeah they were. They were kind of nuts. 1227 00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:57.639 Oh my god, I'll have to ask. I don't recall 1228 00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:01.400 that one.

I fixed it 1237 00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:26.320 and really called up the shop on air and apologize 1238 00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:29.840 to me profusely.

Yes, My question is is 1548 01:09:46.600 --> 01:09:48.840 I've been accused of several times, and I've seen these 1549 01:09:48.920 --> 01:09:52.079 guys put together these cars that have like five hundred 1550 01:09:52.079 --> 01:09:55.560 thousand miles on and they don't necessarily use the actual 1551 01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:59.079 parts from the American cars because they have a lot 1552 01:09:59.159 --> 01:10:03.399 of Russian cars that are that are there. Yeah, and 1553 01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:07.640 so what they do is they actually put these different 1554 01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:09.359 parts together and make. 1555 01:10:09.520 --> 01:10:11.439 They fabricate something to make it work. 1556 01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:12.319 Right. 1557 01:10:12.560 --> 01:10:16.760 Yeah, So is that well possibility. 1558 01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:19.840 It's definitely a possible. It's definitely a possibility. But it's 1559 01:10:19.960 --> 01:10:23.359 like there's always an economic side to possibilities. 1560 01:10:23.479 --> 01:10:26.960 I mean, is it worth doing? I mean really, that's 1561 01:10:27.159 --> 01:10:28.800 the question you're going to come down to. 1562 01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:32.079 It's worth doing for me because the car is not 1563 01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:34.119 for sale, and I've had several people ask me to 1564 01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:35.479 buy it and it's not for sale. 1565 01:10:35.720 --> 01:10:39.560 Got it, Well, I get it, Hey, Ivan, Yes, it 1566 01:10:39.720 --> 01:10:43.079 is possible.

It is definitely possible. Just how much that 1569 01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:51.239 would cost is really hard to say. 1570 01:10:52.760 --> 01:10:55.319 Wow, Wow, Go. 1571 01:10:55.479 --> 01:10:59.039 With a sure thing Denver's Best roofer Excel Roofing dot com. 1572 01:10:59.239 --> 01:11:01.239 You don't pass until you're content. 1573 01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:07.039 Leave time for an insurance check up free no obligation 1574 01:11:07.199 --> 01:11:11.079 comparison call Compass Insurance paying too much your coverage at 1575 01:11:11.119 --> 01:11:13.840 dozens of insurance companies find out Now three oh three 1576 01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:16.560 seven seven to one help.

So the guy's name I don't even know. 1654 01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:46.880 I'm not going to I'll use this first name, Scott. 1655 01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:49.479 We lived in Parker, Susanna and I and we had 1656 01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:53.920 this little uh well, okay, back in the day, all 1657 01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:57.239 the phones in your house were nine hundred megahertz, okay, 1658 01:14:57.520 --> 01:15:00.880 the cordless ones. So we had this little scanner that 1659 01:15:01.039 --> 01:15:04.279 we bought from radio Shack that literally could pick up 1660 01:15:04.359 --> 01:15:07.760 nine hundred megahertz, so you could tune in on it 1661 01:15:07.880 --> 01:15:11.039 and literally hear people around the neighborhood talking. Now, there 1662 01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:13.520 was no way to know who was who because this 1663 01:15:13.640 --> 01:15:16.199 thing would reach pretty far, but you could just hit 1664 01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:19.560 it in that frequency range and you could eavesdrop on 1665 01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:20.840 conversations everywhere. 1666 01:15:20.880 --> 01:15:21.439 It was crazy. 1667 01:15:21.680 --> 01:15:25.359 In fact, it was probably the most entertainment I've ever 1668 01:15:25.479 --> 01:15:27.520 had in my life. I mean literally, it was better 1669 01:15:27.560 --> 01:15:29.159 than watching any TV shows. 1670 01:15:29.640 --> 01:15:31.880 So it was crazy. We're sitting there listening one night, 1671 01:15:32.680 --> 01:15:34.520 and all of a sudden, there's a guy on there 1672 01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:39.880 selling suppressors and these kits to make certain guns fully automatic. 1673 01:15:40.439 --> 01:15:43.159 And I'm going, oh my god, is this for real? 1674 01:15:43.239 --> 01:15:47.119 I mean, this is absolutely insane. So I start recording it, 1675 01:15:48.239 --> 01:15:52.199 literally record it. Then at the end I figure out 1676 01:15:52.239 --> 01:15:54.920 who it is and he lives about four houses down 1677 01:15:55.600 --> 01:15:58.520 and he is a Parker police officer. 1678 01:15:59.199 --> 01:16:01.880 At this point, I'm thinking this is insane. I mean, 1679 01:16:01.960 --> 01:16:04.840 this is a bad cop. This is a bad cop. 1680 01:16:05.359 --> 01:16:07.159 So I call up a buddy of mine. His name 1681 01:16:07.279 --> 01:16:09.680 was Ward. Until this day, he's still in the FBI. 1682 01:16:10.319 --> 01:16:12.279 He's in the FBI, and I said, Ward, I'm going 1683 01:16:12.319 --> 01:16:16.239 to send you something because this guy's fore house is down, 1684 01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:19.479 and I'm actually going to call up to captain down 1685 01:16:19.560 --> 01:16:22.319 in Parker and have him come out to my house 1686 01:16:22.399 --> 01:16:25.199 and listen to this. But I'm sending you a copy 1687 01:16:25.319 --> 01:16:28.239 of this tape. So I basically made a copy of it, 1688 01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:30.560 and I literally got it to Ward and I said, 1689 01:16:30.680 --> 01:16:32.119 you know, I don't need you. 1690 01:16:32.199 --> 01:16:34.760 Guys to do anything because I'm getting his captain involved. 1691 01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:38.880 And basically I leave a message with someone at the 1692 01:16:39.000 --> 01:16:42.640 Parker Police station and I told him I've got something 1693 01:16:42.720 --> 01:16:46.039 from one of your officers that's absolutely unbelievable. I need 1694 01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:49.000 whoever the head dog is to come to my address. 1695 01:16:49.039 --> 01:16:51.520 So head dog, I forget the guy's name at the time. 1696 01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:55.199 This is in the nineties, comes to our house. I 1697 01:16:55.319 --> 01:16:57.560 hit play on the tape. It was actually a tape, 1698 01:16:58.319 --> 01:17:01.800 and he listens to it. Evident he knows exactly who 1699 01:17:02.079 --> 01:17:07.560 it is as well, and he was just astonished. He 1700 01:17:07.680 --> 01:17:12.039 couldn't believe it, and he left and he apologized on 1701 01:17:12.159 --> 01:17:19.800 behalf of everybody and everything else. So about maybe two 1702 01:17:19.880 --> 01:17:24.119 weeks go by. Back then I owned the computer stores. 1703 01:17:24.800 --> 01:17:27.439 It was probably six am, seven am in the morning. 1704 01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:31.800 Ambulance is flying by our house. He still lived with 1705 01:17:31.880 --> 01:17:32.640 his parents. 1706 01:17:32.439 --> 01:17:34.720 By the way, don't ask me why. Actually, I think 1707 01:17:34.760 --> 01:17:37.279 he got divorced, had to move back in with his parents. 1708 01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:42.279 Something like that. Booh, blew his head off, blue his 1709 01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:46.399 head off, because he got fired and basically everybody was 1710 01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:50.760 after him. I mean, he literally was selling suppressors, which 1711 01:17:50.800 --> 01:17:54.399 her silencers, and he was selling whatever kits that would 1712 01:17:54.479 --> 01:17:58.000 take like an AR or an AK whatever these guns 1713 01:17:58.039 --> 01:18:00.760 are and make them fully automatic by the receiver, not 1714 01:18:00.920 --> 01:18:03.680 like a bump stock, like a real kid. And it 1715 01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:06.119 was incredible. But anyhow, that's what you made me think 1716 01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:07.720 of with your b and m't guy. 1717 01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:13.520 Well, I'm glad I gave you some fond memories, you know. 1718 01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:15.880 I just I don't know. I haven't thought about that 1719 01:18:16.039 --> 01:18:19.119 guy in so long. It was not a good guy. 1720 01:18:19.239 --> 01:18:22.079 He was not a good guy. So you know, I'm 1721 01:18:22.079 --> 01:18:24.720 one of these guys I'm like, it is what it is? Hey, Liz, 1722 01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:25.680 what's going on with you? 1723 01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:28.600 Hello? 1724 01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:32.479 Hey Liz, how are you? I'm doing great?

One I don't know if 1984 01:30:54.399 --> 01:30:56.520 you know. They answered all these questions. But the main 1985 01:30:56.640 --> 01:30:59.640 reason I brought you on. If she's got the registration 1986 01:31:00.239 --> 01:31:03.439 and she can prove that and prove the title, can 1987 01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:05.840 you create a key fob or a key that will 1988 01:31:05.880 --> 01:31:07.560 work for it because they don't have a key for 1989 01:31:07.640 --> 01:31:11.800 it well with the vehicle located in Texas. 1990 01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:16.199 No, if I produce a new remote for it, it's 1991 01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:19.319 probably a push button start. But in any case, it 1992 01:31:19.359 --> 01:31:20.840 that's to be programmed to the vehicle. 1993 01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:23.960 Well, I always that's what I was calling for, because 1994 01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:28.119 I know I've lost a key before on a night 1995 01:31:28.279 --> 01:31:33.880 or on a twenty twenty three Genesis GV eighty and 1996 01:31:34.279 --> 01:31:38.239 I gave the VIN number to the dealer and they 1997 01:31:38.319 --> 01:31:40.039 gave me a key fob never touched. 1998 01:31:39.840 --> 01:31:40.239 The car. 1999 01:31:43.880 --> 01:31:45.159 A push button start car. 2000 01:31:45.560 --> 01:31:47.239 No, mine wasn't push button start. 2001 01:31:48.319 --> 01:31:50.960 Yeah, well, the Genesis is made by HUNGI right. Yes, 2002 01:31:52.119 --> 01:31:54.439 a lot of them didn't have an immobilizer. That's why 2003 01:31:54.479 --> 01:31:57.079 they're all getting stolen. So that may have been one 2004 01:31:57.159 --> 01:31:59.960 that had an older system even though it's that new. 2005 01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:05.000 They've scrambled to get the mobilizers into them in the 2006 01:32:05.119 --> 01:32:05.920 last year or two. 2007 01:32:06.119 --> 01:32:08.840 Okay, I mean I'm not gonna I'm not going to be. 2008 01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:09.800 A rare exception. 2009 01:32:10.560 --> 01:32:10.800 Yeah. 2010 01:32:10.960 --> 01:32:13.520 So you're saying off the venue can't do it.

And there are some challenges 2043 01:33:38.319 --> 01:33:41.399 because it's a newer vehicle. The security stuff that us 2044 01:33:41.479 --> 01:33:44.840 to be bypassed to program it, I would be charging 2045 01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:49.359 five hundred dollars to produce two new key fobs and 2046 01:33:49.680 --> 01:33:51.039 delete all the old ones out. 2047 01:33:51.479 --> 01:33:54.439 Oh so the old ones wouldn't even work anymore?

Yeah, he's saying it doesn't matter. It 2076 01:35:14.479 --> 01:35:18.399 just doesn't matter because when people google locksmiths, these people 2077 01:35:18.479 --> 01:35:21.359 don't care what the regulations are in Colorado because they're 2078 01:35:21.399 --> 01:35:24.800 not even here.

But I want to say something 2121 01:37:13.920 --> 01:37:18.640 that's remarkable. There's one in Castle Rock called like I 2122 01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:21.199 think it starts with an A. You probably know I'm 2123 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:23.399 a cure or something. Do you know what I'm talking about? 2124 01:37:24.319 --> 01:37:28.680 Acosta Acosta And they have a physical location. And I 2125 01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:31.920 met the guy and I had a key made for 2126 01:37:32.119 --> 01:37:34.119 my RV before we. 2127 01:37:34.199 --> 01:37:35.920 Went on a long trip, so i'd have kind of 2128 01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:38.439 a backup key because our dog locked us out one time. 2129 01:37:38.520 --> 01:37:39.279 It was a nightmare. 2130 01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:42.880 But anyhow, I went to him a second time because 2131 01:37:42.920 --> 01:37:47.079 I wanted a key made for the iHeart Building. And 2132 01:37:47.479 --> 01:37:50.960 interestingly enough, the key I brought them, I didn't realize 2133 01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:54.319 what is referred to as a master key. So the 2134 01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:58.760 key that I have for our office in iHeart literally 2135 01:37:58.960 --> 01:38:00.760 opens every single. 2136 01:38:00.640 --> 01:38:03.479 Door in iHeart because it's a master key. 2137 01:38:03.800 --> 01:38:06.039 You know what that guy told me.

I know, 2301 01:46:11.800 --> 01:46:14.239 when when I turn on the air conditioner, it uses 2302 01:46:14.359 --> 01:46:18.279 power from the battery. Will that if you use your 2303 01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:23.159 air conditioner a lot, will it eventually decrease the longevity 2304 01:46:23.199 --> 01:46:25.479 of the battery or does the battery recharge to the 2305 01:46:25.560 --> 01:46:29.119 point where having used an air conditioner does it isn't 2306 01:46:29.159 --> 01:46:29.600 an issue? 2307 01:46:30.479 --> 01:46:33.159 Well, I think anytime you're draining something to it's depleted 2308 01:46:33.239 --> 01:46:34.960 levels and then charging it back up, I mean you're 2309 01:46:34.960 --> 01:46:37.640 going through what's lifespan You're You're the same thing with 2310 01:46:37.760 --> 01:46:39.880 your cell phone. You know, the more you use it, 2311 01:46:39.960 --> 01:46:42.159 I mean, the less likely that battery is going to 2312 01:46:42.239 --> 01:46:45.079 last for ten twenty years. It's gonna my kids. I 2313 01:46:45.159 --> 01:46:47.880 guarantee his cell phone is gonna wear out before mind does. 2314 01:46:49.560 --> 01:46:55.039 What what do you guys drive?

In 2381 01:49:36.760 --> 01:49:39.439 other words, if a part costs you, I mean, I 2382 01:49:39.479 --> 01:49:42.640 don't know, a throttle body if it cost five hundred 2383 01:49:42.680 --> 01:49:45.720 dollars six months ago right now, is it's still five 2384 01:49:45.800 --> 01:49:46.279 hundred bucks? 2385 01:49:46.399 --> 01:49:48.359 Like it hasn't impacted you yet. 2386 01:49:48.399 --> 01:49:51.159 There have been some parts that we've seen some particular 2387 01:49:51.239 --> 01:49:54.960 dealers or manufacturers where they've raised some prices in preparation 2388 01:49:55.520 --> 01:49:59.399 for the ter Yeah, it hasn't been completely across the board. 2389 01:49:59.520 --> 01:50:01.800 A certain parts you know that may be coming in 2390 01:50:01.880 --> 01:50:04.159 from Canada or maybe coming in from Mexico, and so 2391 01:50:04.239 --> 01:50:07.720 they've they've just similar to petroleum, they've raised the prices 2392 01:50:07.800 --> 01:50:10.359 now so they can bulk up for when that gess. 2393 01:50:10.119 --> 01:50:11.199 They're getting ready to go to. 2394 01:50:11.359 --> 01:50:13.520 Most of the parts you guys deal with come from 2395 01:50:13.680 --> 01:50:16.479 those two places, Canada and Mexico. Or like, if you 2396 01:50:16.680 --> 01:50:19.319 order a part for a BMW, isn't most of the 2397 01:50:19.439 --> 01:50:22.039 aftermarket made in Canada or Mexico or here? 2398 01:50:22.199 --> 01:50:23.000 A good portion of it. 2399 01:50:23.039 --> 01:50:25.359 A lot, It depends on what it is you're getting. 2400 01:50:25.479 --> 01:50:27.560 I mean, you know, one of the parts I'm talking 2401 01:50:27.560 --> 01:50:30.279 about was a soul my body for a Ford here. 2402 01:50:30.439 --> 01:50:32.920 Literally just a month ago, I was able to buy 2403 01:50:32.960 --> 01:50:35.239 it for one hundred and eighty dollars. Priced it out 2404 01:50:35.239 --> 01:50:37.600 the other day and it's five hundred and sixty bucks. 2405 01:50:37.960 --> 01:50:42.640 So in OEM, an OEM part is actually from the factory, right, 2406 01:50:42.720 --> 01:50:46.760 it's your original equipment manufacturer. So if you guys, if 2407 01:50:46.800 --> 01:50:49.840 you're rebuilding a transmission or you're putting an alternator in, 2408 01:50:50.279 --> 01:50:52.479 Is there any reason if you can get in after 2409 01:50:52.640 --> 01:50:53.920 market to do it? 2410 01:50:54.239 --> 01:50:56.439 It depends on the part that you're looking to get. Yeah, 2411 01:50:56.439 --> 01:50:57.960 there's some parts I won't tack, Like. 2412 01:50:57.960 --> 01:51:00.079 What give me an idea of one where you rather use. 2413 01:51:01.760 --> 01:51:04.319 A lot of the electronics. You know, you can get 2414 01:51:04.359 --> 01:51:06.000 a reman ECM like. 2415 01:51:06.119 --> 01:51:07.640 Great as an alternator. 2416 01:51:08.680 --> 01:51:10.880 It just depends on the warranty that we're getting in 2417 01:51:10.960 --> 01:51:13.880 the manufacturer. I mean there's there's certain aftermark manufacturers I 2418 01:51:13.920 --> 01:51:18.720 would definitely use. You know, uh, Delco has a Delphi. 2419 01:51:18.920 --> 01:51:22.479 Does manufacturers like use Delphi. So in other words, the 2420 01:51:22.600 --> 01:51:25.800 OEM and the aftermarket could be literally coming out of 2421 01:51:25.840 --> 01:51:26.840 the same place. 2422 01:51:27.159 --> 01:51:29.600 Of you were talking about what we were talking about 2423 01:51:29.880 --> 01:51:33.119 some fluids earlier. You know that you know it's all 2424 01:51:33.279 --> 01:51:36.720 made at one plant, but they'll bottle it for individual companies. 2425 01:51:37.279 --> 01:51:40.359 So yeah, the oil attitude. Yeah, so you get the 2426 01:51:40.439 --> 01:51:42.760 same thing. Inside the auto industry, there's only so many 2427 01:51:42.880 --> 01:51:46.680 places that actually make batteries for vehicles, you know, Johnson Controls. 2428 01:51:46.279 --> 01:51:46.880 Being one of them. 2429 01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:50.359 They will go through a number of different lines where 2430 01:51:50.359 --> 01:51:53.159 they're selling to say Walmart, or they're selling to Interstate 2431 01:51:53.239 --> 01:51:55.720 or actually think Interesstate makes their own, but you go 2432 01:51:55.840 --> 01:51:59.960 through several different names, like way the same plant exactly they. 2433 01:52:00.079 --> 01:52:00.560 Make a tone. 2434 01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:02.920 Is Factory Motor Parts still around? Oh yeah, oh yeah, 2435 01:52:03.159 --> 01:52:05.119 and those guys sell a lot of OEM. 2436 01:52:04.880 --> 01:52:08.560 Right, and the gasoline guys, well, hold on, doc, where 2437 01:52:08.560 --> 01:52:11.279 do they source from? Do they get direct from the manufacturer? 2438 01:52:11.800 --> 01:52:13.760 You know they would have to because Worldpack does the 2439 01:52:13.800 --> 01:52:15.720 same thing. Where you can get Oie parts, he can 2440 01:52:15.760 --> 01:52:16.399 get mo Park. 2441 01:52:16.560 --> 01:52:19.039 I thought world Pack was gone. I thought Carquest went 2442 01:52:19.079 --> 01:52:23.479 by by. Still there is Carqueste. Car Quest was absorbed 2443 01:52:23.479 --> 01:52:25.479 by his mass hol parts. All right, go ahead, doc. 2444 01:52:26.039 --> 01:52:30.159 What about gasoline? Is there any difference in the gasoline 2445 01:52:30.199 --> 01:52:32.319 between you know, budget places. 2446 01:52:32.520 --> 01:52:36.920 Like Texaco versus Quick Trip or whatever. It's the same thing. 2447 01:52:36.960 --> 01:52:39.479 It's how they order it, or it's how the flagship 2448 01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:39.960 orders it. 2449 01:52:40.159 --> 01:52:42.760 Right, Because there's only a certain number of pipelines coming 2450 01:52:42.800 --> 01:52:43.279 into Denver. 2451 01:52:43.720 --> 01:52:46.399 Well, so they all get yet one refinery I think 2452 01:52:46.479 --> 01:52:47.520 in the entire state. 2453 01:52:47.680 --> 01:52:49.319 Yeah, so they all get it at the same place. 2454 01:52:49.399 --> 01:52:51.359 It's just the additive pack they put in with it, 2455 01:52:51.520 --> 01:52:51.840 all right. 2456 01:52:51.920 --> 01:52:54.399 Three oh three seven, one three eight two five five. 2457 01:52:54.439 --> 01:52:57.720 Any questions ripped off?

Who did you say, sir? 2477 01:53:59.239 --> 01:53:59.680 Ck I got? 2478 01:54:00.680 --> 01:54:05.119 A YouTuber wrote in with a question about manual transmissions? 2479 01:54:05.199 --> 01:54:06.439 Do you even see them anymore? 2480 01:54:08.279 --> 01:54:09.920 Just to have one in the shop this week? 2481 01:54:10.119 --> 01:54:10.479 Go ahead? 2482 01:54:10.520 --> 01:54:13.640 But so she wants to know, how long do manual 2483 01:54:13.760 --> 01:54:18.520 transmissions last as compared to automatic transmissions, and do you 2484 01:54:18.680 --> 01:54:22.079 have to change the manual transmission oil frequently? 2485 01:54:22.239 --> 01:54:22.680 All matter? 2486 01:54:23.239 --> 01:54:25.800 Definitely will typically last longer than an automatic. I mean 2487 01:54:25.840 --> 01:54:28.079 you're all gear to gear drive the things that we're 2488 01:54:28.119 --> 01:54:31.079 out inside them typically or you know synchronizers in particular, 2489 01:54:31.159 --> 01:54:33.359 which is what allows gives you the ability to shift 2490 01:54:33.439 --> 01:54:36.479 in between the gears without grinding. Uh, you know they're 2491 01:54:36.560 --> 01:54:38.960 actually made as a way apart depending on the driver. 2492 01:54:39.079 --> 01:54:41.319 You know, you can damage them faster I work. You know, 2493 01:54:41.680 --> 01:54:43.439 they could last a lifetime of the car. And then 2494 01:54:43.479 --> 01:54:48.199 obviously the contaminants inside the the oil will affect bearings 2495 01:54:48.239 --> 01:54:50.359 over time so that you'll get bearing failures. So yeah, 2496 01:54:50.720 --> 01:54:53.000 you should definitely be changing the fluid inside your standard. 2497 01:54:53.239 --> 01:54:55.720 Does it matter how hard someone is on the clutch 2498 01:54:55.760 --> 01:54:58.079 when it comes to the transmission itself, that's just. 2499 01:54:58.159 --> 01:55:00.720 The clutch one hundred percent. You can definitely damage to 2500 01:55:00.720 --> 01:55:03.720 transmission if you're tough on the clutch. You know, we've 2501 01:55:03.800 --> 01:55:06.880 seen it several several times some of these cars. You know, 2502 01:55:06.960 --> 01:55:09.279 we had a kid in with one of these fast 2503 01:55:09.319 --> 01:55:13.560 forced forward focuses and he blew out second gear three times. 2504 01:55:13.640 --> 01:55:15.119 A matter of a couple of months because he was 2505 01:55:15.239 --> 01:55:16.479 driving abusively. 2506 01:55:17.119 --> 01:55:20.640 Wow, I know what a Ford Focus. 2507 01:55:21.159 --> 01:55:23.359 They've got some pretty sporty versions of them. 2508 01:55:23.439 --> 01:55:26.000 Yes, oh they do, yes, like modified or you're like 2509 01:55:26.159 --> 01:55:27.520 right from four, right from four? 2510 01:55:27.640 --> 01:55:27.840 Yeah? 2511 01:55:28.079 --> 01:55:30.279 Oh my goodness. How do you work on a warranty 2512 01:55:30.399 --> 01:55:32.520 with something like that? Say you don't, we don't. 2513 01:55:32.560 --> 01:55:34.520 There's actually when we're done with it, you know, if 2514 01:55:34.600 --> 01:55:36.600 we've done a build, there is a disclaimer on there 2515 01:55:36.680 --> 01:55:38.359 that says, you know, not only do you have to 2516 01:55:38.439 --> 01:55:41.840 monitor fluids and keep it full, but it also disclaims 2517 01:55:41.880 --> 01:55:45.159 against you know, misuse, abuse, operator error. You know, I 2518 01:55:45.279 --> 01:55:47.039 cannot call you every day and tell you to check 2519 01:55:47.079 --> 01:55:48.600 your fluid or have you looked underneath the car to 2520 01:55:48.640 --> 01:55:50.319 make sure there's not a weak you know, So if 2521 01:55:50.359 --> 01:55:51.760 you bring it back to me burned up after you 2522 01:55:51.880 --> 01:55:53.840 let it leak for six months, you know, hey, we 2523 01:55:53.880 --> 01:55:54.880 would have taken care of a leak. 2524 01:55:54.920 --> 01:55:55.520 That's not a problem. 2525 01:55:55.560 --> 01:55:57.359 I had a good friend that just bought a I 2526 01:55:57.399 --> 01:55:59.760 think it was a twenty three top of the line. 2527 01:56:00.840 --> 01:56:03.279 I mean it's got the Corvette engine, the whole bit 2528 01:56:03.359 --> 01:56:07.279 in it. And he waited to get a stick shift. 2529 01:56:07.760 --> 01:56:10.079 And I always found that crazy, And I'll tell you why. 2530 01:56:10.439 --> 01:56:12.000 I think back in the day, if you had a 2531 01:56:12.039 --> 01:56:15.159 stick shift, you probably would be faster in a race, right, 2532 01:56:15.800 --> 01:56:18.840 But nowadays, wouldn't you say the computer shift's way better 2533 01:56:18.920 --> 01:56:21.880 than a human Yeah? So, I mean, there's no doubt 2534 01:56:21.880 --> 01:56:24.720 about it unless if that's really what is the benefit 2535 01:56:24.800 --> 01:56:27.399 of a stick shift besides yeah, espalgia? 2536 01:56:27.880 --> 01:56:28.880 Yeah, and that's it. 2537 01:56:29.319 --> 01:56:33.359 Well, that brings up my other question about the manual transmission. 2538 01:56:33.399 --> 01:56:36.399 I've always heard in a manual transmission we'll get three 2539 01:56:36.479 --> 01:56:40.640 to ten miles better gas mileage as compared to an 2540 01:56:40.680 --> 01:56:41.960 automatic transmission. 2541 01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:44.600 I've never heard that depends on the driver too. It 2542 01:56:44.800 --> 01:56:47.680 depends entirely on the driver. Yes, so is that kind 2543 01:56:47.680 --> 01:56:49.479 of a missing omalsomal? 2544 01:56:49.600 --> 01:56:51.840 Have you guys ever done this any of it? Can 2545 01:56:51.920 --> 01:56:52.800 you drive a standard? 2546 01:56:53.640 --> 01:56:55.359 It took me a few years to figure it out, 2547 01:56:55.399 --> 01:56:55.880 but yes. 2548 01:56:55.880 --> 01:56:56.359 Yeah you can. 2549 01:56:56.760 --> 01:56:56.800 So. 2550 01:56:57.199 --> 01:56:58.960 Have you guys ever got to the point in a 2551 01:56:59.079 --> 01:57:02.479 certain car where with the exception of getting into first gear, 2552 01:57:02.920 --> 01:57:03.920 you can shift through. 2553 01:57:03.840 --> 01:57:07.319 The gears without hitting the clutch you just use? Isn't 2554 01:57:07.319 --> 01:57:07.720 that cool? 2555 01:57:07.760 --> 01:57:07.800 You? 2556 01:57:08.159 --> 01:57:10.720 And it's smooth, It's really smooth. That's got to be 2557 01:57:11.079 --> 01:57:13.079 Is that good for the car? There's no problem there. 2558 01:57:12.960 --> 01:57:14.600 As you know what you're doing, you're not hitting them, 2559 01:57:14.600 --> 01:57:17.319 You're fine. Yeah, the warning curve is probably where you're 2560 01:57:17.319 --> 01:57:18.520 going to start tearning stuff up. 2561 01:57:18.920 --> 01:57:21.159 And how long? If you're really good at a clutch 2562 01:57:21.239 --> 01:57:23.159 and you have a new vehicle like my buddy does, 2563 01:57:23.439 --> 01:57:29.000 can that clutch last two hundred thousand miles? A clutchback 2564 01:57:29.039 --> 01:57:32.920 can last a long Really, you guys have ever worked 2565 01:57:32.960 --> 01:57:33.279 on one. 2566 01:57:34.199 --> 01:57:36.760 I had a Ford truck that I got almost three 2567 01:57:36.840 --> 01:57:38.199 hundred thousand miles out of one. 2568 01:57:38.600 --> 01:57:40.800 Three hundred thousand miles on one clutch. 2569 01:57:42.279 --> 01:57:43.039 I didn't smoke them. 2570 01:57:43.239 --> 01:57:48.640 I was teaching Suzanne how to drive her first car, 2571 01:57:48.760 --> 01:57:51.960 which was a little Honda Civic and it was a Standard, 2572 01:57:52.720 --> 01:57:56.680 and I was a complete moron. I got in front 2573 01:57:56.720 --> 01:57:59.159 of the car. She's in the car, and I'm like 2574 01:57:59.279 --> 01:58:03.199 shifted in gear and I was trying to show her 2575 01:58:03.239 --> 01:58:05.880 how to go into reverse. Why I'm standing in front 2576 01:58:05.920 --> 01:58:08.239 of the car, I have no idea, But of course 2577 01:58:08.359 --> 01:58:11.439 it goes into first and she hits it and I 2578 01:58:11.640 --> 01:58:15.760 end up on the hood of the car. I will 2579 01:58:15.840 --> 01:58:18.479 never do that again. I will never do that again. 2580 01:58:18.760 --> 01:58:21.359 Did you guys teach your kids how to drive a stick, 2581 01:58:22.680 --> 01:58:24.359 get on shift? You did? 2582 01:58:24.720 --> 01:58:26.960 And I told him absolutely. I taught him how to 2583 01:58:27.079 --> 01:58:29.279 change tire and how to shift and how to drive 2584 01:58:29.359 --> 01:58:29.720 a stick. 2585 01:58:29.920 --> 01:58:33.399 I don't think my kids have ever drove a I 2586 01:58:33.479 --> 01:58:36.239 don't think they've ever driven a car that's a standard. 2587 01:58:36.319 --> 01:58:38.800 But both of them can drive motorcycles all day long, 2588 01:58:39.199 --> 01:58:41.479 which of course you shift, so I would. 2589 01:58:41.279 --> 01:58:45.000 Assume it's the third pedal. Though they kiss them, it 2590 01:58:45.159 --> 01:58:47.760 is the third pedals. In fact, some people use both feet, 2591 01:58:47.840 --> 01:58:50.000 which is kind of which is kind of bizarre. 2592 01:58:50.199 --> 01:58:53.039 Also, it's extra security when you have a stick, you know, 2593 01:58:53.199 --> 01:58:54.600 some millennial security system. 2594 01:58:54.600 --> 01:58:55.319 Oh yeah, they can't. 2595 01:58:55.439 --> 01:58:57.079 They can't steal it because they can't drive it. 2596 01:58:57.199 --> 01:58:59.159 You know who wasn't it? It might have been Hondai. 2597 01:58:59.239 --> 01:59:01.079 That one guy was bringing it up where they could 2598 01:59:01.119 --> 01:59:04.600 steal the Hondis with like a screwdriver, and they were 2599 01:59:04.720 --> 01:59:07.520 like saying, the best thing out there is those things 2600 01:59:07.560 --> 01:59:10.359 you attached to the steering wheel, the clubs, the clubs, 2601 01:59:10.439 --> 01:59:12.600 because literally, you can't steal a car with one of 2602 01:59:12.640 --> 01:59:13.239 those on there. 2603 01:59:13.359 --> 01:59:13.680 You can't. 2604 01:59:13.760 --> 01:59:16.479 It just takes more effort, probably a lot more. It's 2605 01:59:16.800 --> 01:59:18.920 it's more of a de turrent than anything else, like. 2606 01:59:18.960 --> 01:59:21.000 Having a dog, versus your neighbor doesn't. 2607 01:59:21.079 --> 01:59:23.159 Two side by side vehicles, if you see one has 2608 01:59:23.159 --> 01:59:24.760 a club on it and the other one doesn't, which 2609 01:59:24.800 --> 01:59:26.359 one do you think you're more likely to steal? 2610 01:59:27.079 --> 01:59:30.720 Yeah, the one without the club, of course. Yeah, that's nuts. 2611 01:59:31.079 --> 01:59:34.840 Do you guys in general like what you do most 2612 01:59:34.880 --> 01:59:35.279 of the time? 2613 01:59:35.359 --> 01:59:38.239 Yeah? I mean I think any job you have things 2614 01:59:38.279 --> 01:59:39.119 you just really hate. 2615 01:59:39.199 --> 01:59:41.319 Well, I mean you're you know, you're in your sixties. 2616 01:59:41.399 --> 01:59:43.960 You ended up with automotives your entire life.

Do you ever 2618 01:59:46.279 --> 01:59:48.119 think back on Kevin and go, I wish I want 2619 01:59:48.199 --> 01:59:51.039 this direction? Or you just love automotive? 2620 01:59:51.159 --> 01:59:51.199 No? 2621 01:59:51.319 --> 01:59:52.600 I like what I do? 2622 01:59:52.960 --> 01:59:54.960 Yeah, I like, you know, there's freedom to it. There's 2623 01:59:55.119 --> 01:59:57.399 you know, it's it's it's more outside than it is, 2624 01:59:57.520 --> 01:59:59.880 like an office building, and you know it is your hip. 2625 01:59:59.800 --> 02:00:01.600 Ho whole day at shared and you're up front and 2626 02:00:01.720 --> 02:00:05.239 your guys you're doing all the repaassion force. So but 2627 02:00:05.399 --> 02:00:06.720 you will you go rent still? 2628 02:00:07.000 --> 02:00:09.000 No, I don't rents, but I just supervised kind of 2629 02:00:09.119 --> 02:00:10.439 you know, what are you doing and why are you 2630 02:00:10.520 --> 02:00:11.520 doing that? That kind of thing. 2631 02:00:11.640 --> 02:00:12.800 How about writing up tickets? 2632 02:00:12.840 --> 02:00:15.239 You plan service manager a lot yeah, if he lets me. 2633 02:00:15.479 --> 02:00:17.920 And then Jeff, you literally do I see. I mean 2634 02:00:17.960 --> 02:00:20.039 you've got great text there. You've had the same text 2635 02:00:20.119 --> 02:00:22.600 forever I met him. But I mean you pretty much 2636 02:00:22.680 --> 02:00:24.520 do all the estimates, don't you. 2637 02:00:24.760 --> 02:00:26.960 Yeah, you know what I'm I've got a guy right 2638 02:00:27.000 --> 02:00:28.600 now that you know, I'm trying to teach him a 2639 02:00:28.640 --> 02:00:30.840 little bit more on the computer so that times like 2640 02:00:30.960 --> 02:00:34.319 or ai I'm here or you know, I'm on vacation whatnot. 2641 02:00:34.439 --> 02:00:37.159 It's a little bit cumbersome right now. So getting him 2642 02:00:37.159 --> 02:00:40.800 familiar with the software, getting him familiar with creating tickets 2643 02:00:40.840 --> 02:00:42.239 and pricing and everything else, and. 2644 02:00:42.319 --> 02:00:44.640 You guys, rebuild right there on site, build right. 2645 02:00:44.600 --> 02:00:45.399 There on site. Correct. 2646 02:00:45.800 --> 02:00:49.159 I've assumed the questions you asked, Jeff, what or you 2647 02:00:49.159 --> 02:00:51.159 will bring up the fact that there's a car with 2648 02:00:51.279 --> 02:00:53.039 a club and one with that one? 2649 02:00:53.159 --> 02:00:53.840 Right? Yeah? 2650 02:00:53.960 --> 02:00:54.079 Right? 2651 02:00:54.159 --> 02:00:56.359 Okay, So here's another question for you. You go to 2652 02:00:56.439 --> 02:01:00.439 the airport, there's two airplanes. One goes to TSA, one doesn't. 2653 02:01:00.640 --> 02:01:01.760 Which one you're gonna choose? 2654 02:01:01.880 --> 02:01:03.000 I think TSA is a joke. 2655 02:01:03.000 --> 02:01:06.319 I don't care you you would really go without the TSA. 2656 02:01:06.479 --> 02:01:06.880 I don't care. 2657 02:01:07.640 --> 02:01:10.319 I don't even understand the question. One is screened and 2658 02:01:10.439 --> 02:01:12.439 one is not screened. Oh you mean you either go 2659 02:01:12.680 --> 02:01:16.680 through the security or not or not. Well, I'd pick 2660 02:01:16.760 --> 02:01:17.840 to go through security. 2661 02:01:19.239 --> 02:01:21.199 I would too. Yeah, I mean as much as we 2662 02:01:21.479 --> 02:01:24.159 an odd question though, Well no, But because he was 2663 02:01:24.239 --> 02:01:26.520 just saying which he would choose. So the point is 2664 02:01:26.600 --> 02:01:29.800 we all complain a bit about the the TSA, but 2665 02:01:29.880 --> 02:01:32.039 if we had our choice, I know which line I 2666 02:01:32.079 --> 02:01:32.399 would go. 2667 02:01:33.359 --> 02:01:35.319 But how does that go back to the club. 2668 02:01:35.680 --> 02:01:38.199 Well, because he's saying a choice is went to two choices, 2669 02:01:38.239 --> 02:01:39.119 So I'm just giving him. 2670 02:01:39.920 --> 02:01:41.079 Do you know what the club is? 2671 02:01:41.359 --> 02:01:42.680 Yeah, it's the thing you put in assume with. 2672 02:01:42.760 --> 02:01:44.359 Yeah, okay, say you can't turn it? 2673 02:01:44.399 --> 02:01:46.600 I got I get it all right, listen three oh 2674 02:01:46.680 --> 02:01:48.920 three seven one, three eight, two five five. 2675 02:01:49.000 --> 02:01:49.680 We'll be right back. 2676 02:01:55.560 --> 02:01:58.800 Go with a sure thing Denver's Best roofer Excel Roofing 2677 02:01:58.920 --> 02:01:59.359 dot com. 2678 02:01:59.520 --> 02:02:01.560 You don't pay until you're content. 2679 02:02:04.960 --> 02:02:08.479 Time for an insurance checkup free, no obligation comparison call 2680 02:02:08.600 --> 02:02:11.880 Compass Insurance, pay too much your coverage at dozens of 2681 02:02:11.960 --> 02:02:12.800 insurance companies. 2682 02:02:12.920 --> 02:02:15.119 Find out now three oh three, seven to seven to one. 2683 02:02:15.239 --> 02:02:15.479 Help. 2684 02:02:15.680 --> 02:02:18.319 You'll think you're his only customer when you choose Frank 2685 02:02:18.399 --> 02:02:20.800 durand the real estate man dot Com to list your 2686 02:02:20.880 --> 02:02:24.000 home with Remax Alliance three oh three nine two zero 2687 02:02:24.119 --> 02:02:25.079 sixteen twenty two. 2688 02:02:28.119 --> 02:02:31.600 All right, three oh three seven one three eight two 2689 02:02:32.359 --> 02:02:33.560 five five.

Steve, you 2721 02:04:06.119 --> 02:04:08.800 texted me in eleven forty five last. 2722 02:04:08.640 --> 02:04:11.359 Night, that's when I got off work. 2723 02:04:11.760 --> 02:04:14.239 Well, okay, why don't you wait till the morning when 2724 02:04:14.319 --> 02:04:17.199 I'm up.

Look, man, I'm just frustrated that every piece 2726 02:04:20.960 --> 02:04:24.359 of communication we get from you is past eleven forty five, 2727 02:04:24.439 --> 02:04:26.680 and I'm gonna take it to one more step. But yes, 2728 02:04:26.880 --> 02:04:29.319 I will talk to you and continue to try to 2729 02:04:29.399 --> 02:04:33.199 help you. But in all Honestyve, man, what Rock said, 2730 02:04:33.560 --> 02:04:36.439 what Rock said in that last text, and that we're 2731 02:04:36.479 --> 02:04:41.359 talking about American Restoration. That last offer he made I 2732 02:04:41.640 --> 02:04:45.800 do not think is a bad offer. In a million years, Steve, 2733 02:04:46.119 --> 02:04:49.159 and for people out there because they have no context 2734 02:04:49.199 --> 02:04:53.000 to what the hell we're talking about. Steve hired American Restoration, 2735 02:04:53.399 --> 02:04:55.680 and there's a lot to the story. It all started 2736 02:04:55.720 --> 02:04:58.880 a year and a half ago. There's other contractors involved 2737 02:04:58.920 --> 02:05:01.960 at Steve's suing, and then it came back to American 2738 02:05:02.039 --> 02:05:05.159 Restoration a year and a half. He basically gave them 2739 02:05:05.560 --> 02:05:09.199 fifteen thousand or sixteen thousand dollars down and he's not 2740 02:05:09.520 --> 02:05:13.720 happy with what the pricing is and the timeframe. Apparently 2741 02:05:13.880 --> 02:05:16.720 Rock didn't start exactly when he was supposed to and 2742 02:05:16.840 --> 02:05:19.760 put the guy off. Steve has his side of the story. 2743 02:05:20.039 --> 02:05:23.000 But Rock came back today and I'm going to read 2744 02:05:23.159 --> 02:05:26.159 everybody out there that's listening what Rock had to say. 2745 02:05:26.560 --> 02:05:28.920 And I read this to you guys this morning, going 2746 02:05:28.960 --> 02:05:30.840 do you think this is a fair offer? 2747 02:05:31.079 --> 02:05:31.199 Right? 2748 02:05:31.359 --> 02:05:33.199 Let me go ahead, prefer me. 2749 02:05:33.319 --> 02:05:34.680 Ask the question, Yeah, go ahead. 2750 02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:39.960 Why in the world because he's still continuing. 2751 02:05:40.720 --> 02:05:42.960 He knows he has a upset. 2752 02:05:42.680 --> 02:05:44.800 Customer because he put people. 2753 02:05:45.159 --> 02:05:47.560 If you ask Rock dat and I have Kelly trying 2754 02:05:47.640 --> 02:05:50.399 to get Rock on, and hopefully Kelly gets him on. 2755 02:05:50.560 --> 02:05:52.439 But of course we're right at the end of the show. 2756 02:05:52.840 --> 02:05:55.600 But no, I'll tell you why, because he said he 2757 02:05:55.720 --> 02:05:59.079 has people he set aside for your job. He said 2758 02:05:59.159 --> 02:06:02.079 he has already done stuff on your job. He said 2759 02:06:02.119 --> 02:06:05.039 he has already talked to the building department and the 2760 02:06:05.199 --> 02:06:08.079 permitting stuff on the job. I know you're gonna say 2761 02:06:08.159 --> 02:06:10.680 none of that's true, Steve. I know you're gonna say 2762 02:06:10.760 --> 02:06:11.560 none of that's true. 2763 02:06:11.600 --> 02:06:13.239 Who has to build out there? 2764 02:06:13.760 --> 02:06:15.920 I'm putting them on hold. Look, man, here, you know 2765 02:06:16.000 --> 02:06:18.520 what I'm gonna do, just to be fair and honestly, 2766 02:06:18.600 --> 02:06:20.720 I think it's good radio. Steve. I'm gonna give you 2767 02:06:20.840 --> 02:06:23.039 forty five seconds and I'm gonna shut up. Say whatever 2768 02:06:23.079 --> 02:06:25.439 you want. Then I'm going to read everybody what Rock 2769 02:06:25.520 --> 02:06:26.960 had to say. But go ahead, please. 2770 02:06:28.600 --> 02:06:30.920 Well, first of all, the deal with Plumbline, I didn't 2771 02:06:30.920 --> 02:06:32.680 take a bit over the phone. I met with one 2772 02:06:32.720 --> 02:06:38.520 of their texts with Plumbline number one, number two. Rock 2773 02:06:38.600 --> 02:06:41.279 got the money on February twentieth. He said he had 2774 02:06:41.319 --> 02:06:43.840 people standing by. He's gonna bring a dumpster, fortify and 2775 02:06:43.840 --> 02:06:44.079 all that. 2776 02:06:44.640 --> 02:06:48.560 He goes with me for over two months and then 2777 02:06:48.600 --> 02:06:49.119 it comes back. 2778 02:06:49.199 --> 02:06:51.760 He wants four thousand dollars on top of fifteen grands 2779 02:06:52.279 --> 02:06:54.960 to do a gas line pressure test, which has already 2780 02:06:55.000 --> 02:06:58.640 been done signed off on by the building department. And 2781 02:06:58.720 --> 02:07:00.800 then he wants an une five grand a smoke test. 2782 02:07:01.079 --> 02:07:03.520 And I talked to Clumbline about that's a test. He's 2783 02:07:03.600 --> 02:07:05.920 not going you'll need a smoke test, We need a 2784 02:07:06.000 --> 02:07:08.960 pressure test. And that's when he caughted to those prices 2785 02:07:09.000 --> 02:07:12.359 for fifteen hundred for both tests. So I don't know 2786 02:07:12.520 --> 02:07:13.680 what Rock is doing. 2787 02:07:13.840 --> 02:07:15.760 All right, that's forty five. Now I'm going to put 2788 02:07:15.800 --> 02:07:18.600 you on holden. I'm going to put context in everything 2789 02:07:18.680 --> 02:07:21.760 that I've heard on Rockside One. We're talking about a house. 2790 02:07:21.840 --> 02:07:24.720 It got destroyed, so they're building it back from scratch. 2791 02:07:24.800 --> 02:07:26.880 It had to do with a fire or an electrical 2792 02:07:27.000 --> 02:07:30.439 fire or something. The house is burned down that there's 2793 02:07:30.560 --> 02:07:34.319 nothing basically left of it. Other contractors are involved. 2794 02:07:34.680 --> 02:07:36.840 In order for Rock to come in, he needs to 2795 02:07:36.960 --> 02:07:39.600 do certain tests, and one of them to rebuild it 2796 02:07:39.760 --> 02:07:43.560 and be responsible in rebuilding your entire house. 2797 02:07:43.880 --> 02:07:46.560 We're not talking about going in and putting in a floor, 2798 02:07:46.880 --> 02:07:51.000 but to rebuild your entire house. He nor most people 2799 02:07:51.119 --> 02:07:53.720 that I know are not going to do it and 2800 02:07:53.880 --> 02:07:57.680 take responsibility for it. If they don't do a pressure 2801 02:07:57.760 --> 02:08:00.560 test or a smoke test, or an electrical test or 2802 02:08:00.600 --> 02:08:01.720 a plumbing test. 2803 02:08:01.720 --> 02:08:03.199 Or whatever they need to do. 2804 02:08:03.800 --> 02:08:04.960 They're going to rebuild it. 2805 02:08:05.239 --> 02:08:05.359 Now. 2806 02:08:05.479 --> 02:08:08.439 Listen, that's where Rock's coming from. And I've tried to 2807 02:08:08.520 --> 02:08:11.760 tell you that one hundred times. I understand you're frustrated. 2808 02:08:12.000 --> 02:08:15.319 But what I don't get, Steve, is after Rock texted this, 2809 02:08:16.000 --> 02:08:19.000 why you wouldn't go this way? You're ready, everybody. I 2810 02:08:19.119 --> 02:08:21.119 want you to know what Rock said, and I'm going 2811 02:08:21.199 --> 02:08:23.960 to hold him to it, like you can't believe. Mister, 2812 02:08:24.399 --> 02:08:26.439 I'm not going to say his last name will do 2813 02:08:26.640 --> 02:08:31.399 the job. If you're not one hundred percent satisfied in 2814 02:08:31.560 --> 02:08:37.039 the end, we will refund every dime. If we miss 2815 02:08:37.279 --> 02:08:42.760 one scheduled date without proper notification, we will quit and 2816 02:08:43.000 --> 02:08:47.279 refund every dime. We will even go live on the 2817 02:08:47.520 --> 02:08:52.159 air if that happens and admit we're failures. We just 2818 02:08:52.439 --> 02:08:55.960 have to run the job with our people. He does 2819 02:08:56.119 --> 02:08:59.840 not want now that was the text. Now it's me again, Steve. 2820 02:09:00.319 --> 02:09:04.520 He doesn't want you to use people outside of people 2821 02:09:04.680 --> 02:09:08.439 he trusts. He is the general contractor to rebuild it. 2822 02:09:08.880 --> 02:09:12.399 Because you can have a test done for five hundred 2823 02:09:12.439 --> 02:09:17.119 dollars or ten thousand dollars cheaper somewhere else. That doesn't 2824 02:09:17.319 --> 02:09:19.760 That has nothing to do with Rock. You signed an 2825 02:09:19.800 --> 02:09:22.960 agreement with Rock to rebuild your house. He's got to 2826 02:09:23.000 --> 02:09:24.680 take sole responsibility. 2827 02:09:25.000 --> 02:09:28.119 If something goes wrong and the electrical wasn't done in 2828 02:09:28.199 --> 02:09:31.479 the house burns down, that's on Rock. If you don't 2829 02:09:31.520 --> 02:09:33.520 want him to pull permits, or if you don't want 2830 02:09:33.600 --> 02:09:37.960 him to use his electricians that he trusts and knows that, 2831 02:09:38.399 --> 02:09:40.840 that's not fair of you. Why did you even enter 2832 02:09:40.960 --> 02:09:43.720 into it with them? Steve? Why did you choose Rock 2833 02:09:43.800 --> 02:09:44.520 to begin with? 2834 02:09:47.119 --> 02:09:50.680 This man promised me he was going to take care 2835 02:09:50.720 --> 02:09:53.840 of everything, no big deal. I trusted him, and he 2836 02:09:53.960 --> 02:10:00.199 turned around and ghosted me. And he's been he's it's 2837 02:10:00.319 --> 02:10:01.239 been awful. 2838 02:10:01.720 --> 02:10:02.960 I mean, he's just Steve. 2839 02:10:04.079 --> 02:10:06.920 Steve. After I just read what I did, let me 2840 02:10:07.039 --> 02:10:10.319 ask you something. If you don't think, if you don't think, 2841 02:10:10.399 --> 02:10:12.479 I to put him on hold again. If you don't 2842 02:10:12.479 --> 02:10:15.079 think he's gonna show up, my god, you're gonna have 2843 02:10:15.119 --> 02:10:18.119 everything done for free, and he's going to refund anything 2844 02:10:18.199 --> 02:10:21.319 you spent with him. Think about that. If he doesn't 2845 02:10:21.359 --> 02:10:24.439 show up on time, That's what he said. If he 2846 02:10:24.560 --> 02:10:26.880 gives you a date and doesn't tell you he's not 2847 02:10:26.960 --> 02:10:29.600 going to show because there's some emergency or something, and 2848 02:10:29.800 --> 02:10:32.119 just ghost you. You'll get a full refund. And then 2849 02:10:32.279 --> 02:10:35.000 my favorite part about that text, and I think you're 2850 02:10:35.039 --> 02:10:38.760 really glancing over it. I really think you are My 2851 02:10:38.920 --> 02:10:44.319 favorite part the very first sentence will do the job 2852 02:10:44.880 --> 02:10:50.640 if you're not one hundred percent satisfied in the end, 2853 02:10:51.079 --> 02:10:53.520 meaning after your house is rebuilt. 2854 02:10:53.880 --> 02:10:58.399 It's like a four hundred thousand dollars project, will refund 2855 02:10:58.439 --> 02:11:03.199 every dime. Guys, I'm sorry you've heard from him. You 2856 02:11:03.319 --> 02:11:05.359 haven't heard from Rock. I was trying to get him on, 2857 02:11:05.479 --> 02:11:08.840 but he's not on what I'm Kevin. As a businessman, 2858 02:11:09.000 --> 02:11:11.960 Jeff is a businessman. There's a couple things here. One 2859 02:11:12.039 --> 02:11:12.720 I'm going to say this. 2860 02:11:13.239 --> 02:11:16.520 If I was Rock Steve, I would refund your fifteen 2861 02:11:16.600 --> 02:11:17.800 thousand in run like hell. 2862 02:11:18.079 --> 02:11:21.720 You have two lawsuits against the last two people you hired. 2863 02:11:22.039 --> 02:11:24.640 If I was Rock and I told Rock this, I 2864 02:11:25.039 --> 02:11:28.800 would refund your money and get the hell out of town, 2865 02:11:29.279 --> 02:11:31.840 simple as that, and I'd probably thank God for it. 2866 02:11:32.560 --> 02:11:35.600 But that's not on the table. I have no idea 2867 02:11:35.640 --> 02:11:38.079 why Rock doesn't want to go down there. But after 2868 02:11:38.239 --> 02:11:41.880 hearing that first sentence again, what do you guys think, honestly, 2869 02:11:42.239 --> 02:11:44.680 do you think Rock's just a horrible guy here? You 2870 02:11:44.800 --> 02:11:46.039 think Steve's a little off? 2871 02:11:46.119 --> 02:11:47.119 I mean, tell me, I want to. 2872 02:11:47.079 --> 02:11:49.520 Hear it, not knowing either one of them, just knowing 2873 02:11:49.560 --> 02:11:52.600 the conflict, and he's not happy with Rock. Why would 2874 02:11:52.680 --> 02:11:53.760 Rock want to keep eating it? 2875 02:11:54.000 --> 02:11:56.119 For the life of me, I have no idea. I 2876 02:11:56.159 --> 02:11:58.479 wouldn't and I haven't done a commercial for Rock for 2877 02:11:58.560 --> 02:12:01.840 three or four months, never had any problems with Rock 2878 02:12:01.920 --> 02:12:04.359 for I don't know five years. 2879 02:12:04.399 --> 02:12:06.119 I'm not even saying either one of them is the problem. 2880 02:12:06.159 --> 02:12:07.159 They're not right for each other. 2881 02:12:07.439 --> 02:12:09.760 They are definitely not right for each That's where I. 2882 02:12:09.760 --> 02:12:11.800 Would you know, it's not worth any amount of money 2883 02:12:12.000 --> 02:12:15.159 to do something wrong and then piss everybody. 2884 02:12:15.239 --> 02:12:16.239 Jeff, what do you think now? 2885 02:12:16.319 --> 02:12:18.239 I'm run along those stand the lines. I mean, we've 2886 02:12:18.279 --> 02:12:19.920 all had problem customers. 2887 02:12:19.560 --> 02:12:21.920 We've all had problem customers, and we've all dealt with 2888 02:12:22.039 --> 02:12:22.840 problem contracts. 2889 02:12:22.920 --> 02:12:24.439 Yeah, and you to your confident in the job. 2890 02:12:24.520 --> 02:12:25.560 You know you can do the job. 2891 02:12:25.880 --> 02:12:27.000 That parts not a problem. 2892 02:12:27.319 --> 02:12:30.760 He's almost Rocks almost taking it too personally. At some point, Hey, 2893 02:12:30.880 --> 02:12:32.880 I want to know from you, Dragon, what do you think. 2894 02:12:33.159 --> 02:12:36.039 I think that that deal from Rock is absolutely insane. 2895 02:12:36.079 --> 02:12:38.239 No matter what Rock's gonna do, Steve's gonna be pissed 2896 02:12:38.279 --> 02:12:41.479 and Rock's gonna lose his ass. There's no ways as 2897 02:12:41.520 --> 02:12:43.199 a business owner, Rocks should be doing this. 2898 02:12:43.520 --> 02:12:47.560 I think that first paragraph is insane to put up. 2899 02:12:47.720 --> 02:12:49.760 I am very glad you pointed that out. 2900 02:12:50.199 --> 02:12:53.560 And I'm going to talk to Rock afterwards, because to say, 2901 02:12:53.680 --> 02:12:56.880 if you're not one hundred percent satisfied in the end, 2902 02:12:57.439 --> 02:12:59.039 will refund every dime. 2903 02:12:59.199 --> 02:13:02.079 But Steve, he's asking to lose. He is half a 2904 02:13:02.159 --> 02:13:02.840 million dollars. 2905 02:13:02.920 --> 02:13:05.399 Steve's telling him before they start that he doesn't even 2906 02:13:05.439 --> 02:13:05.920 want him. 2907 02:13:05.840 --> 02:13:06.199 To do it. 2908 02:13:06.279 --> 02:13:12.520 Steve, I would get that in writing. Listen, man, I 2909 02:13:12.560 --> 02:13:13.680 would get that in writing. 2910 02:13:13.760 --> 02:13:15.560 And I'm going to hit up Rock one more time 2911 02:13:15.600 --> 02:13:17.159 and I'm going to tell him exactly what I just 2912 02:13:17.239 --> 02:13:20.359 said on air. I think he's crazy for not refunding you. 2913 02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:23.920 You know, when I told him about the Plumbline deal 2914 02:13:23.960 --> 02:13:25.640 and all that, He's like going. 2915 02:13:26.039 --> 02:13:28.800 I'm just Steve, you know what. I don't want to 2916 02:13:28.840 --> 02:13:32.039 go down memory lane with you anymore. I just told 2917 02:13:32.079 --> 02:13:34.039 you I talked if I got to hear about what 2918 02:13:34.239 --> 02:13:36.840 you don't like about him anymore?
