There are a couple business models that work. If you work to find new customers, you don't need to do decent work. If you do a good job, you don't need to find new customers. I have chosen the second model and it was slow growth, but I have never had to spend money on advertising to find new customers. Sometime the customers like my work so much they want me to do it again. That was the case on this Grand Am we rebuilt on the channel a while back. You can see all the videos in that series here:

Part 2 • Dropping the engine an...

Now let's do it again and all in one video!

When do we get the video of you doing one of these upside down and blindfolded lol

@vehcor Год назад

Here is the blindfolded one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--ukQEhgfRsI.html I’m still working on the upside down part. 😂

@kingvic2105 Год назад

@@vehcor How can I get in contact with you about seeing if you are interested in my 2004 Infiniti QX56 113,000 miles clean title runs/drives but has rust underneath ? I know you have a disgust for rusted vehicles. I’m located in West Pennsylvania.

@terrymckay9186 Год назад

Well Scott, it appears that people love the way you repair vehicles so they crash them again to watch you do the awesome repairs. Win-win for you and your RU-vid community. 😁

@patchmack4469 Год назад

pretty cool - only sell cars to customers who keep bending them - or only have customers that insist on driving in the snow that bend their cars and keep returning as Scott done such a nice job the last time - like it

@ardillasecreta Год назад

Well to be fair, it is literally the logos on his back haha...REPEAT being the culprit

@georgedunham6833 Год назад

Scott , being an equipment mechanic for over 45 years I completely agree with you about arm chair experts . It’s nice to watch your work just when I am getting to dinner on the night shift in NYC .

@JoePhillips1983 Год назад

Had to retire my 2000 GT with 250k miles about 2 months ago because I fell in love with hatchbacks. Great rebuild and a really nice car.

@dougwalsh8271 Год назад

Brother, I got to tell you, this is my favorite automotive channel on RU-vid. I have learned more from your channel about late model vehicles than any other channel. Excellent work, sir. Keep up the great content.

@claytoncoolidge992 Год назад

Scott I want to thank you for making the world a better place to be 1 grand am at a time. 🤣

@wernerdanler2742 Год назад

No wasted motion, no redos, everything fit perfectly. Next time someone gives you sh*t about your work, tell them I personally am telling them to f*** off! 😆 🤣

“Drive, Crash, Fix, Repeat” 🤣🤣 the follow directions 🤣🤣

@LuisMendez-up5te Год назад

Every time I watch a Grand Am repair video, it makes me want to rush out and buy a wrecked one.

@jonboy9912 Год назад

Love the no nonsense adult presentation! Educational as well as entertaining..

@patjohnson3100 Год назад

Great Friday treat to see the good work done to put this nice looking and practical Grand Am back on the road. There is no reason this car can't have a useful life and the owner get good value from it. Waste not, want not. I hope the owner can keep from hitting other large objects.

@fruferSK Год назад

Well Scott, I would say, they deserve a free T-shirt of your collection. They did do exactly as it say: "DRIVE, CRASH, FIX, REPEAT". 😉

@ryans413 Год назад

Yes another Grand Am absolutely love how easy these cars are too work on.

@mr.homelite8490 Год назад

I enjoy you working on grand am cars,I have a 03 gt sedan. I've learned so much from watching you,keep you the good work buddy.

@68stonesfan Год назад

"The drive axle is Bluetooth...Our work area has been marked 'safe' from rotting carcasses." Classic! It is a good thing that Scott's Grand Am Emporium is still in business! Great video.

That was the best trailer unload yet!! 😂😂😂😂

@rodneyfairborn9358 Год назад

I am always amazed in how you make the work look easy and it’s not. I like the focus you have on every build and have learned a great deal watching your channel. Thanks Scott

@Cheepchipsable Год назад

Pretty much what happens when you do something for 20 years.

@sasandabirian8768 Год назад

I came for the unloading and I'm not disappointed!🎉🎉🎉

@mc_neville Год назад

Scott goes a long way in redeeming faith in mechanics. It is a crying shame there are so many bad, bad mechanics out there. Paying sky high hourly rates should result in great work.

@mmddmm553 Год назад

Brother I have no problem with your repairs I have been doing it the same way for years and years .👍🏻

@johnpartridge7623 Год назад

Nice job Scott-It still beggars belief that certain People believe that all Mechanics are Bodge Artists, some of us do the job properly with no short cuts just doing a decent & honest Days Work👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@gradyluyt6998 Год назад

I think you jinxed this one when you talked about not matching the paint during the original build 😂. Can’t wait to see it back on the road better than before.

@vehcor Год назад

Jinxed or increased revenue? 😂

vehcor Friday everyone. Best day of the week. Hands down, Scott has the best vehicle repair channel on You Tube. Great job as usual Scott. Thanks for sharing.

@rafaeltorovip Год назад

No sponsored video. Just good content. 👍

@vehcor Год назад

I appreciate that!

@dgurevich1 Год назад

Why? "This video is sponsored by a driver near you" would be appropriate

@christopherpeters1457 Год назад

Saturday mornings are the best in my house, because by the time I get up and make a pot of tea, it's time to watch your latest download. We are 5/6 hrs ahead in the UK so perfect timing to start the day, I have never understood why certain types of people who obviously have no skill of their own need to bad mouth people who actually are extremely good at what they do. Please keep doing exactly what you are doing Scott, and ignore the rest. Plus more GMC trucks please it's what I drove when living Canada.

@thomasdemooka4341 Год назад

After 38 years of driving I've had 1 accident, caused by an 85 year old man backing UP an onramp to the turnpike in a raging rainstorm. WHY 1 accident in all those years you say? Because I pay attention to the road always, ignore my phone, rarely break 5-7 mph over the speed limit because I'm not a self centered/impatient asshat, I check intersections before I pull through and I watch for white hairs like an eagle and avoid them like the plague! Success!

@billpar Год назад

Scott I totally love your videos for the humor, sarcasm but most of all the content , you are one of the very best channels and I look forward to every video , thanks

@canadatransistor Год назад

Your past Grand am repairs are what brought interest to me to discover your channel. I still dream of my Grandam Se back in 2003. It was a great car, I'd buy another today if Pontiac still existed.

@aaronkurt6556 Год назад

Well, it seems it doesn't take a real genius to figure out that you're the type of guy that doesn't cobble stuff together. I don't know you from Adam but watching your videos tells me you do things right the first time. Keep up the great work and the hilarious sarcasm!

@alannorman6402 Год назад

Scott, I would never think you’d do shortcuts in repairs. I appreciate your honesty and integrity you use in your business. Cars are better than new when you repair them. They my not be entirely clean in areas you cannot see, but the are roadworthy and safe!

@r.weaver3769 Год назад

Damage the axle? In 25 years, I only damaged one, I used a press instead of a hammer, flared the end so the first 1/2" of threads had to be ground off so nut would fit again. It was my first one, old timer said, use a hammer. Never damaged another. I worked in front end shop most my life. So, rock-on Scott.

@mrlt1151 Год назад

I’m interested in the price of the repair. Granted this example looks clean, and it would be the “devil you know”, for the owner, around here those are $2,500 cars. My impulse would be to just find another. I drove a 98 to over 260k miles where the odometer broke. She never gave up the ghost and ran when I got rid of it. Super easy and cheap cars for the average shadetree to keep on the road. Tons of parts availability back in 03-07 as the local yards were full of them back then. As a mechanically inclined college student paying his way through school, it kept me on wheels.

@yorkshirepud3030 Год назад

Just found your channel and love it. In the UK pinstripes are fondly known as go faster stripes, these are worth about 10mph or a tad more.

@vehcor Год назад

Glad to have you with us!

@buckpowers4837 Год назад

An excellent job that saved the owner some and you got to revisit an old friend. Those ponies are hard to beat down and its a shame that GM doesn't still make them.

@michaelashcraft8569 Год назад

Scott got to that energy absorber, and, that put me in mind of, sometime in the 70's some cars actually had Plastic Bumpers full of water supposed to absorb impact energy, came in handy if you ran out of Water while broke down in the Desert..

@kenmurray4232 Год назад

Good video. The Grand Am must be a favorite for you to rebuild. They seem to be straightforward built vehicle. Thanks for sharing

Dang it Scott! If this keeps up you're going to get pretty good at working on late '90s through mid 2000s Pontiac Grand Ams! 😂😅

@FlyEaglesFly19111 Год назад

Man the gift that keeps on giving. The canned ham is baaaaaaack! Well Scott's emporium should be able to handle this repair 110%. They vuy fixing it just loves these things.. reminds him of rhe glory days. Stay safe and be well.

@ssjmeetri Год назад

I'll definitely drive up to Illinois just for you to revive my Grand Am, I just want it to look brand new, mint condition, with a better exhaust.

@tramptruck4859 Год назад

Good job👍 I'm surprised how many suspension joints have grease fittings - they're almost extinct in Europe, on cars anyway.

@richcaseaxon Год назад

Mechanic glitter. That's new to me. LOL

@johnmehaffey9953 Год назад

Scott you amaze me with your automotive knowledge and skills the sign of a true maestro is you make it look so easy that even someone like me could fix it by just doing what you are doing, ps i didn’t hear you say click when you were putting things together so are you sure it won’t fall apart when you hand it back, pps I’d to pause and enlarge to see who the mumb nuts guy was who falsely accused you of not doing the job properly well done for calling him out
