Secret's Out! How Much Do We CHARGE For An Off-Road Recovery? 

Im wondering where big grader has been lately. Was hoping with Sean and Hunter gone that he would see him in the shop more

What is the name of Sean's channel?

​@@talon0863don't believe it's started yet Paul said he would announce it on here to help get him started with followers

💯🤔 I didn't ,until I read this comment😮

@@caseyrenner7024 K thanks

I already miss them .

At $75,000 a month he really doesn't need to charge anyone. Don't get me wrong. Not hating on FR or any other RU-vidr. I'm a fan of the Fabrats family, they make great content. I find it crazy and fascinating how much youtubers are paid. I say more power to em!

@@johnbatterton614 It's about $.01 to $.03 per view.

That's right the kids are getting older now and can do more. Hunter needs to find something he wants to do for a living or be able to fall back on. Sean left one place to come work for Paul and it was a stepping stone to something else.

I agree it’s there time to shine now

I still miss Ben, the brotherly badinage with Paul was amusing.

@@eternaloptimist2840 I miss Ben too but his channel is boring. I tried watching but I can never get through a full video.

I agree! And Lolli ❤

I was thinking that too as I watched this video. Great to see the boys all working in the shop now!

All the larger recovery channels don't charge when they're creating content. None have said whether they charge when the customer or vehicle refuses to be in the video.

​@@outlawbillionairez9780 I would assume that to be the deal, the recovery is free, IF you are ok with it going on youtube

​​@@outlawbillionairez9780 You sure about that I think Matt charges no matter what. Which I can't necessarily blame him if he does it's a business

@@ShineRunnersGarage I've not heard of him charging for a videod rescue. At roughly 700,000 views for an average vid, he's making bank. Add sponsorship and his own product line, and we're talking serious coin! Was me, I would never charge. No opportunity for someone to trash talk, or claim they were over charged. This was a long winded way of me saying I don't know, so it's worth exactly what you paid for it!! 😂👍

Exactly. And very well articulated in the first two sentences!

My brothers and I did not grow up together and have been apart for most of our lives. We've gotten to know one another in the last decade (better late than never), but, as much as siblings can fight, in MOST cases, they can also be best friends.

Agreed!

in-valuable experience, building a derby car at 18, I'm a car guy, had a bunch of cars, 2 years of auto tech in high school, out of all my grease monkey red neck country-fied friends, never known anyone to ever build a derby car, so freaking cool

Made me chuckle since Michelle edits, but those goodies will be long gone by then.

You must have never lived pay check to pay check. Inevitable to think about cost.

@@usernamehere6061 Judging by the type of cars I’ve seen Paul recover, in the main, most of them are not living pay-check-to-pay-check. If they were, they should take more care of where they go. JMHO.

@@clivehorridge It's kind of hard to tell. The Navy took me out to California in '73. I stayed there until '79, then moved to the Midwest for schooling. When I moved back in '82, even in that short period of time, I was shocked at how California had gone from some of the most unsafe vehicles on the road, to where it seemed like everybody had a new car. And those were high inflation times. I know; I bought my first car from a dealer, and my first new truck (1/4 Toyotas over the years) during that time. People had discovered debt, and most people were in debt up to their eyebrows. It was disconcerting to drive around Southern California and see thousands and tens of thousands of dollars of automobile - either off the lot or, in some demographics, custom - sitting in the driveways of not much more than shacks. I was born poor, on the wrong side of the tracks; grew up poor, and was hand-to-mouth for much of my young adulthood, including the military. So, just because people look like they're not living that way, many of them are, to keep up appearances. Especially in California. If you notice, many of them have California plates, and like that one lady said, "the company will be happy" that Paul reinstalled the tow hitch cover. Which says that a lot of those cars are rentals; same as they are on Matt's channel. You don't have to be well-off to rent a car. Plus, as a former auto mechanic, people will do things to rentals they'd never consider doing to their own vehicles - including taking them places they weren't designed to go.

Yep, the poor people venturing out there that get stuck usually call their other poor friends to help them get unstuck before calling a tow company.​@@clivehorridge

@@clivehorridge Ever heard of rental cars? The one today was a rental and a lot of people will fly out there and rent a car.

The $ goes in front of the number.

Yeah, $500 would be to do the tow of the Durango. The snow recovery would easily be $2500 or more.

Comments like this seem so fake . Like A.I . I see them all the time . Jmo

@@davestevens4263Still a true statement, why does the source matter?

​@@TheGrateful55 because the source isn't real. It's a bot.

@@JanaMarie71 I'm sure he's devastated at the loss.

It was empty. nobody was that stupid

Gas came out the fill tube, that was not smart!! Could burn down the entire shop!

My husband said the same thing! He was soooo lucky! Phew!

She's worked hard at it,and looks great. She'll be glad to read your comment.

Maybe??? Might just have to teach them how to change a battery in their ev. How sad is that?

Looks very familiar. I wear one of those. Old issue but still cool seeing it down there

Skeeter is Skeeter. Not much to offer.

Yeah I wasn’t thinking of it those exact terms, but it fits. Do you think he is set to be the new Sean?

@@kc360awareness I hope not, I like him but he and Paul wouldn't be a good fit. I just don't think he has found where he fits yet. I think he would drive Michelle nuts...and maybe vice-versa. He is better as the guy who shows up to help out as needed, wherever that is.

My dad was the same way. He bought a garage in '69 and I started working with him on his first day. He taught my brother and I a lot. He made us fix our own cars and anything we did in the garage he always checked our work and pointed out our mistakes and showed us how to do things right, 53 years later I finally retired as a mechanic. He taught us that if a job was worth doing, it was worth doing right the first time. I carried that with me through out my life and lived by it. He also told us never to follow in his footsteps and become mechanics. That was probably the only time I didn't listen to him. I consider myself very fortunate to have had a dad like him. I'm sure Paul and him could have gotten into a little mischief together. LOL

Yeah and $500 bucks is still a ridiculous bargain. I’ll bet a normal recovery business would’ve charged a couple grand.

​@@kc360awareness $5000-$10,000

I'd pull those locking wheel nuts off and take them back and shove them up that idiots....posterior crevice. LOL I bought a car a couple years back and the previous owner had put 3 locking wheel nuts on each wheel (don't ask me why) and after I bought the car he informed me that he couldn't find the key. I heated them up and hit them with a heavy hammer. Broke the studs off and put new ones on. In fact I replaced all the studs and nuts on the car. Then I took all the locking wheel nuts back and handed them to him. We both had a good laugh. He didn't think I'd get the nuts off. LOL

Jace not Chase…close😊

he is a kid yes but it's almost like it's arrogance that's just the way it comes across to me I hope that's not what it is 😢

@@gregtotten2617 I mean most teens are pretty arrogant (coming from a pretty unteachable, arrogant teenager who's working on it), this is why parents occasionally show their kids up to show who's still boss.
