Hearted Youtube comments on Rainman Ray's Repairs (@RainmanRaysRepairs) channel.

  1. My Buick's milkshake brings all the mechanics to the yard.

  2. One of the hardest things to do as a mechanic is to tell a young couple with kids and no money they just bought a POS that isn't worth fixing. Really breaks your heart.

  3. I think it’s time to open your own shop !
    5200
  4. They put the blinker fluid in the wrong place. Happens all the time.

  5. Everyone should drive a real POS every now and then, just to appreciate what they have.

  6. I like it way better without that background music.. great video

  7. The real issue is that the part should NOT be failing on a 4 year old $60k truck!

  8. Just retired after 47 years as an auto tech. 13 years in, I opened my own small shop. We grew to 1.5m per year gross within 3 years. Paid top dollar, got the 2 best guys in the county to work with me. Voted best shop in the county for many years. Treated everyone fair, never oversold our customers, fixed any recheck whether it was our fault or not,and acquired a stellar reputation in our community. All 3 of us retired very comfortably. Had a great run, and a good life. You go mr Rainman!

  9. I’m super proud of you, Ray. One piece of advice though, bring in a “shop manager” ASAP. You need someone to answer the phones and schedule and be an intermediary. It’s an absolutely necessary position and with your notoriety being what it is, it’s even more so.

  10. I'm intrigued by that rogue wire and the full story. Was it treachery or just fudging a fix through their incompetence.

  11. One thing most stealerships lack is empathy. Having dealt with you and Lauren, It is one of ya'lls most glowing traits. **You listened to me. You gleaned what you needed to move forward and you diagnosed my car's issue. You then repaired the problem after considering the approach which included a limited repair fund on my end. My car got fixed...I witnessed the repair via a YouTube video and I didn't have to hock my dog to do it. Thank you Ray...thank you Lauren. 💖

  12. Viewer from the other side of the planet here. Don't ever pay attention to the stupid angry haters. You do this for a living and and you show your work in real time. You're not editing out your mistakes that would be easy in the clear light og hindsight. I'm a *mechanic*, but would be of little value to your shop as I'm too slow. I really like your videos and have never given a negative comment to a YouTube movie, just moved on to a better one! Keep yours coming!

  13. Good move. All those other issues could have been a network issue or worst case a wrongly connected battery or jump pack that wiped out some modules. It could have been a bottomless pit of time and parts.

  14. Customer of this repair here. Ray, I just wanted to publicly thank you for all of your hard work on giving this engine new life. I was seriously considering just scrapping it and cutting my losses but couldn't find a replacement for anywhere near the repair cost. Just know your work is greatly appreciated!

  15. Ray is the kind of guy who doesn't just feed the trolls, he takes them out for a nice romantic meal at a steakhouse, much champagne, much dessert. Then a nice moonlit walk along the beach before taking them back to his place for a coffee and a cosy chat. Then he never calls them again, ever. Trolling the trolls, GG.

  16. Thanks for NO music in this video. Much better.
    1500
  17. Should've used a tire crayon and written "done under protest " next to the patch inside the tire. The customer wouldn't ever see it and might make the next tech chuckle
    1400
  18. Ray, I personally appreciate your critical thinking skills. No worries bud, your true fans won't desert you buddy!

  19. I know what's wrong - here's the random component that won't fix the issue because it's not the actual problem and is from an unknown source. But when it doesn't work it's your fault.

  20. We talked about this tonight on the Wednesday tech talk No reason to prefill the filter Powerstroke Tech Talk With Arod - I'll Cover this on the manufacturers side as well in an upcoming video There is no reason to prefill....you can flood mode the Ford vehicles to pull oil in and prime that way as well I do not prefilled filters it's an old wives tale to do so You have plenty of oil in that engine that is coating the metal still and will not cause any issues starting it without prefilling

  21. Rainman Ray’s got my vote for sherif
    1100
  22. Just know there are actual customers who appreciate how closely you look into the problems

  23. Another quality part satisfying mechanics everywhere

  24. 2022 summed up in a few eloquent words: “We are all living in our own reality and anyone who challenges that, we must fight them and destroy them” Quote of the year! Well said Mr. Rainman!!!!

  25. Stuff we do every day. You fix cars. I sell parts. Together, we can get this van back on the road for this family in a way they can depend on it to safely tote around their wee ones. If it feels right, it is right.

  26. GM....we don't cut corners in quality, but we do cut tubes.

  27. Thanks for installing a Monster Exhaust on your Duramax! But you definitely need an exhaust tip. Keep an eye open. We're dropping one in the mail.

  28. "Now we have created life in a Ford." Funny. My parents said that about 28 years ago.

  29. The power of social media. Can't wait to see how this pans out. Glad you and your family as well as everyone else involved weren't affected by this joy ride. It's a shame this is going on when a track is right there. I have to drive 100 miles to get to the closest track to me. It's not worth it on the streets... Take it to the track.

  30. What shops don’t realize is that when you do something like this you gain the customers trust. The customer will come back for service in the future possibly for years. They will also recommend your shop to their friends and family. It’s a formula for success that has been forgotten in the industry.

  31. I am soooo Thankful and relieved... I'm thanking Master Mechanic Rainman Ray!!! Our car would start only sporadically, after alot of trying, and we had a hellova time worrying about getting to Dr.s, or anywhere, and then having to get home. It's been an ongoing heavy worry, and I can't even tell you how it got our blood pressure up every time we had to go somewhere, especially if we have to go to the hospital (we have many health issues)! Ted's been watching Ray's repair videos for a few years now, and knew Ray is an excellent mechanic. Well, long story short, we called and got an appt. We were in their office talking with them for an hour, and knew in our hearts we could trust him. When Ted got online this morning, this video of our car repair was up!!! And OMG! All I can do is tell you, if you're in the Bradenton area, and you have engine issues, I HIGHLY recommend Ray! It's hard to find honest, great, repairmen nowadays, and I can vouch for Ray, big time 🙂 Thank You Ray!!!! ❤

  32. Ohhhh Raymond haha 😂 this would be mint in NY!
    828
  33. Think hiring a good mechanic is expensive? Wait till you hire a cheap one.
    821
  34. Installing an engine for a clogged cat is like the nuclear version of the parts cannon.
    781
  35. Just three weeks from unemployed to his own shop with paying customers. Way to hustle, Ray!
    772
  36. “If the gasket is leaking, just remove the gasket” absolute genius
    764
  37. I don't know why YouTube recommended your channel to me. All I can say is, they are scary good at finding content I will literally binge watch.
    763
  38. The fact that you owned up to this mistake... posted it online for others to criticize (and learn from) is absolutely amazing. Much respect brother 🙏
    748
  39. A menace to society. That's righteous anger, Ray. Hope you find him!
    734
  40. Thanks for fixing my "Jeep" Ray. Much appreciated. I actually wanted to replace all the injectors, but was told the necessary quantity weren't going to be available for some time. The last place to have that taken apart was the dealership to replace the cylinder 4 injector, so it's disappointing (but not surprising) that they broke it. Anyway, when (not if) the next injector fails, I'll make sure the rest are replaced. Also, at the end of the video... you're not wrong.
    722
  41. To be fair, I spent longer crating that engine than you did taking it apart. 😂
    718
  42. Oh mannnn Ray. We've all been there before. I could feel the struggle throughout this process to ultimately end the way you work so hard to avoid. I had this happen on a 95 Millenia with the 2.5L KL, on a bolt next to the frame rail. I ended up welding threads to the broken off bolt and using it as a stud with a nut. It worked, but I wasn't proud. Glad I could come up with an engine to help you get this thing back on the road.
    715
  43. I wish I had a light for when I needed coffee. These cars have it all man.
    707
  44. Beautifully Spoken - you'll never know unless you try and you ain't getting any younger and definitely not any prettier so you better use that beauty while you got it

  45. Dude, you put a heck of a lot of time and effort into these videos we watch for entertainment and knowledge. You post some great content, no need to apologize. Lots of folks have no idea how much work goes into just editing a video much less shooting one. Your a humble dude and I appreciate your work, humor and humble nature. Keep it up!

  46. On today's episode of Just Rolled In, a Florida Man does mechanic things on his own.

  47. For all of you viewers: Ray is trying to build a reputable and reliable business and sharing his journey with all of us. That being said, let him do his thing. Don't call the shop or send emails or go to the shop unless you have true intentions of having him service your vehicle. Respect this man's business, the best thing you can do to help him succeed is watch the videos, give them the thumbs up, buy merch, and subscribe. This is one of those situations where "fans" can make or break this venture, not only can you ruin his newly formed company the YouTube career could also be negatively affected as well. Disclaimer: I do not know Ray nor am I affiliated with his channel or anything else. I am just a guy that enjoys his videos and the informative content within and would like to see him succeed and not fail because of the actions of others. Thank you Ray and I wish you good luck on your adventure.

  48. Why did this person take this car to a shop. Clearly they are a professional and can do the work themselves....

  49. I don't mind losing customers, but i do mind losing GOOD customers. No loss here.

  50. Car is fighting you because you didn’t acknowledge it by saying Das Auto 🤣
