Right. The fact he calls it an auto body shop makes me laugh. I'm sure David does a good job on the list of services he offers, but body work wasn't one of those.
5:39 that is a blast cabinet, you’re right that it cleans parts more specifically like rust or paint removal. You basically put your arms in the holes/gloves and pickup a tool connected to an air hose, that sprays media or sand out and removed rust or paint.
15:30 No matter what don’t feel any way about not knowing something especially with cars always ask if you want, a good passionate mechanic or technician will explain - a spark plug is made of very conductive metals and if you look at the end of one there’s a pointed tip and a curved part, basically it creates a little lightning bolt or “spark” hence the name which ignited the gasoline in the engine at the correct time so that way your engine moves, moves the transmission and moves the wheels.
That is such a helpful explanation! As someone who gets insecure about what they don’t know, thank you for taking the time to educate us and give us all a great reminder to be curious and ask someone!
4:40 that computer and the T on it plus the round parts below the orange cones is the entire alignment rack/machine. The round parts are there to make it easier to adjust the alignment, the T thing/computer is what’s used to check the alignment angles of the vehicle to see what needs alignment, where and how much. Pretty cool.
Probably the best parts for me is when he guesses something so incredibly wrong. I just love it, and nots not his fault by any means. You gotta be in the industry to know what these things are, i just find it so funny to see someone guess what it is But legit the mobile mic he has is amazing and I loved this so much. Such amazing sounds💖
I can just imagine you sitting at your desktop computer, with coffee in one hand, destroyed mouse in other. As you thump your computer in hysterical laughter
22:52 those tubes are put over muffler tips to send the toxic exhaust gases out of the building, usually into a vent above or out a hole that’s usually put into the garage door or wall.
8:30 you’re close! Electrical diagnosis tools, looks like Digital Volt Ohm Meters or Amp Clamps - (used to check electrical systems/wiring for voltage, ground, resistance, shorts, or opens)
I’m laughing so hard rn💀 My dad is a mechanic and I help him organize his tools and just hearing him try to guess what everything is is so funny to me😭
Interesting video for people to see what a mechanic shop looks like, I’m very familiar with the environment, good guesses and good exploring. Careful now tinkering with cars can become an addiction pretty fast lol
21:17 those yellow metal “arms” are placed under the strong points of a vehicle to be lifted in the air - there’s companies that install lifts that are certified to inspect them properly for safety. Some mechanics will install their own lifts, I’d rather have a specialist install them tbh
1:20 Shocks are what absorb and slow your vehicles bouncing. Good way to tell if your springs/shocks or in some cases struts(springs and shocks combined, usually found on the front of vehicles) are bad is if your vehicle bounces a lot/feels like a boat going down the road.
12:10 that I do believe is a battery tester - it prints the results so you can show the customer that way they know they’re not being scammed. It will tell you the battery size, crank amps, and more all of which is on your battery so if something doesn’t add up that could be sketchy.
3:10 you’re right but usually shops have huge ones like 8ft tall. Apparently you can connect water to it and run it and it’ll be like air conditioning on wheels. Cool.
16:33 air compressor - can power many types of tools. I’m automotive specifically for impact wrenches, ratchets, cutters, chisels/hammers and air/blower tool.
22:30 that press is for pressing apart and together suspension parts and more. Not every part on a vehicle is bolted together, a lot of stuff is also pressed together, and that makes quick work of it rather than hammering something for a long time - and the press is safer than hammering
10:38 Those are “sockets” all types of sizes, lengths, and functions for different types of fasteners nuts or bolts on vehicles. Cool tip the chrome ones aren’t recommended for power tools because those are a harder metal and can shatter/explode when they break. The matte black sockets are impact sockets and are actually a softer metal that won’t explode and are meant for power tools.
20:50 that machine is for balancing wheels when you have new tires installed those paper clip looking things are placed on parts of the rim where the machine says so for balancing out the wheel so you don’t feel vibrations driving down the road
If you don’t have an interest in cars then you won’t know a lot of the parts and tools 🤷🏼♀️. I wouldn’t have a clue because I can’t drive,and therefore have little interest in cars.
First time you open the plastic tool container it’s right side up, mechanics can agree a lot of times we open them and they’re upside down and everything falls out 😂😭
5:24 Sandblaster, removes paint 9:00 This takes tires off of the wheel and can put a new one on 14:53 This is a floodlight. 15:25 Spark plugs ignite the fuel in the engine and cause an explosion, you can find videos to understand it better. 16:10 This is a vice, it holds things in place. 16:33 This is an air compressor. 20:54 This is a car lift 29:30 This is a wheel balancer
Just want to say before I correct the things you don’t know what they are just trying to help everyone understand more since I’m a mechanic not trying to come for anyone btw
I'm glad you made this video. I've been watching all your exterior/places asmr, I went through all of them . I was wishing you would release a new one soon. Thank you !
Dean: is this like a giant computer or something Me, a mechanic: it's an alignment machine dear 🥰 Dean: I'm probably the only gay person to ever walk around in a mechanic shop for this long Me, a lesbian mechanic: ✌😗✌
Very tingly video . I never thought that a car repairing shop can be that level of organized ! I thought you will tap on some cars also . I like the small black cute chair so much . It's perfect for me . I'm always very fond of your's smile . And , you smile in this video so many times . Everytime which is feel " awwww " for me .
Holy shit I’ve listened to this for almost a year while falling asleep and just saw the end for the first time and realized I live 10 minutes away from this auto shop! Crazy world.
Just so you know auto repair and mechanics like this is different than "auto body". Auto body is exterior fiberglass and Sheet metal exterior work. Auto mechanic repair is different work
Am I the only one that thinks it was brave of dean to step inside an auto repair shop to do this as a gay man… I know as a woman these places are so intimidating!!! Props to you, loved the video💗
