Customer States: I Think I Need Brakes!?

Turns out the customer is correct. This cream puff 2016 rust belt driven GMC Sierra 1500 does need brakes. All the way around as a matter of fact. Oh and I hid a high speed exhaust job in the mix too.
-Enjoy!

Why do you wear gloves I just think it looks ridiculous a real mechanic doesn't wears gloves to me you're afraid to get your hands dirty I did all four wheel brakes on a car the other day pads and rotors all the way around no glows I got my hands dirty they came clean

I can't believe you sold this man a brake job when you could have just turned his radio up and sent him on his way! Lmao, excellent job as usual.

In America at the time of this video it is refreshing and peaceful to watch someone work who has self-respect and honor.

I had squealing issues on two or tree cars I owned but they stopped as soon as I got divorced.

Eric: "If I recorded everything that came in you guys would be bored."
Us: "We watched you solder wires for three hours."

As a Southerner, I've only seen/heard of rustjacking on YouTube. But I have NEVER seen it on a brake pad. With the glues used between the backing and friction material, I didn't even think it was possible. Mad respect to those who work on rust belt cars!

[rider]

For some reason I never get tired of watching you do these brake jobs. I think it’s because how detailed you are in every step of the process. Thanks for another great video!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[wallingj]

Came for the commentary, stayed for the processes!

[I-watch-at-x]

I will never understand how you haven't made it to multimillion subscribers. Mr O, you really are the best.

[jeremy]

As a southerner; I appreciate the defining of rust jacking. I'd never heard of it. Good job Mr. O!

[richardtidd]

By far one of the Best mechanics on the internet. Note the detailed prep work and that he does not rush the job. Great videos for the weekend warriors out there. Thank you Eric, you have saved me thousands of dollars in labor costs.

[kevinwells]

Great to see a man who takes such care in doing his work. Whether it's a "simple" brake job or a complicated diagnosis. You inspire us to be better.

[bowdoin]

Another SMA job done right / If all mechanics were this good what a better world it would be 😀

[jaybaker]

So trustworthy and fair. I wish all repair shop were like you. You always do the right fix. Not trying to over sell, but fixing what needs to be fixed. Great job once again.

[fieldsofomagh]

After watching this procedure, I think I needs a sand blaster, a compressor, Mr nasty, a car lift, and someone to supervise for at least 5 years. Nice job Erico. Welcome to the rust belt. Josh is one busy mechanic.

[buannajim]

Maybe not every single day, but I enjoy watching a brake job being done correctly and well. Living vicariously through Eric O.!

[truthsmiles]

You make me thankful to live in the south. My girlfriend’s truck just rolled over 300k miles and it’s just starting to rust in a few places.

[GoodForYou]

I love that you mentioned Fluid Film to coat unpainted metal. Very underrated step. I work on trucks and farm equipment. Fluid film, Blaster, and anti-seize are good for vehicles you plan on having around a while. 👍

[jemhem]

Eric O is probably in the top 10 mechanics in America. Hats off to you Eric.

[johnmcgowan]

THANK YOU !! I've been doing brake jobs on family vehicles for many years and thought I was doing OK. After watching this video I learned a lot. I can do an even better job from now on. I appreciate the way you explain and show how and why you do every little detail. Keep putting out these great videos.
