At the ripe old age of 71 and been around cars all my life working part time in a garage at 15 its so so refreshing to see a young man who seems to actually care ie its not just about the money its about doing a good job for the customer I say it again Well done fella well done !!!!!!!!!!

U treated that brake job like it was your own sports car, sublime. Garages whether Kwik shit or main dealers are job in job out - no cleaning of calipers or lubing of slide pins, your work is incredibly professional there, really impressed - from a retired Vauxhall, Rover & AA Patrol Technician. One thing - don't leave your van door open like that, other videos show so easily tools stolen by scum walking past vans like that & your back was turned away many times. Great video

Much respect for your work. It’s takes a lot of confidence to showcase your work online and be at the mercy of the audience. Good luck with everything

Nice to see a young lad doing the job properly. There's so many quick fit centres and garages that change pads in like 20mins and you think no way have they cleaned and lubricated all the parts they needed to. I have fitted plenty of brakes in my career as a mechanic. And it does take a long time. Removing the scale from underneath the stainless shims etc. And removing the sliders. In the garage we always done this and tbh we didn't have anyone return with noisy brakes etc. That's why these Quick Fit centres make so much money. They DO NOT spend the time cleaning. And I worked on the opposite side also as in a parts supplier and some garages saying the pads are not fitting and they have to grind the end of the pads down to fit them!! NO!!. this is what this lad is saying. You never need to do that. Unless obviously the wrong pad has been supplied. It's because of the rust build up jamming the pad. Keep up the good work. 👍

Sadly this goes both ways. Sure, for an established national company its a different story and work should be carried out best as possible. However the majority of garages in the uk have awful customers who want to pay the lowest of the low price. I used to take 30-45 mins repairing and cleaning brakes to perfection and not only would the locals pay less but they’d also complain about how much time it took 😂😂 These days a car will come for brakes and i’ll have both sides down in 10 mins with only the sliding pins and pads slightly greased. The customers are happy but unaware/don’t seem to care about the long term issues it will cause later on. Its a shame the majority of the trade has been poisoned by silly people

Hi,I was a brake specialist at KF, it would take me about thirty minutes to do discs and pads on a two post,never had any return, can't speak for any other fitters

Made up to see this, many (not all) customers think it's just a case of "slap the pads in", nice to see a realistic , well informed brake change, cheers.

Tip of the day : Get some HSS 7,8,9,10 mm drills , grind the tips flat , then you can use them , in your electric drill to get the really stubborn old grease out of the caliper carrier slider pin holes. And with no tip 1 you won't drill a hole and 2 you will get to right the bottom of them.

Good tips from a fellow mechanic, 1 tip for you, get a plastic tray like a big shallow plant tray to put under the work area to catch rust, brake dust, brake cleaner etc, some people are picky about their driveways so it may save you some hassle and headache in the future, rags will work too but may get soaked if it's raining or need a lot of brake cleaner etc. Keep up the good videos.

Much respect. In another life and at your age I also did call out repairs and know full well the pain of working on driveways or on the road or uneven surfaces. Once asking a store owner if I could put a ball joint in his freezer to shrink it so it would slide into it's socket without the proper tool. I too had clowns that didn't want to pay what the job was worth and even bounced cheques. Keep up the great work.

This brake job reminded me of a year ago. Brembo pads, vented and drilled discs and 2 new sensors on my 65 BMW 3 series. Took my time and saved over £500 . Did a cracking thorough job even replacing the rear handbrake shoes. All cleaned up including back plates .

Always fun watching a fellow mechanic ranting about the customers that start the convo “well I’ve seen on KZread” 😂

I can recall times when employers wouldnt pay you! At least these days they have instant credit facilities on their cards! 1. If the customer doesnt pay he has the right to remove the parts because he still owns them until he gets paid. (If the car is in a garage keep the car as articifers lien until bill is paid.) 2. He has a channel following so name, shame, number plate the none payer. 3. Small claims court isnt expensive and any none payer has to reimburse costs. Simple procedure on the internet, lawyer not required. 4. ALWAYS get what you intend to do, the parts you will use to do it and the cost, in writing. Agreed and signed by the customer so no mind changes or arguments later. 5. ALWAYS tell them call out fees and if you cant fix the problem, (if the fail to fix isnt your fault) they still pay for the time at £X per hour fir the time assessing. Again agreed and signed for BEFORE you start the job.

The last giy i had out for a coolant issue told me i needed a heater matrix costing 9k with labor...no lie. He apparently worked at silverstone before and all different performance cars.

@therealchayd Well the sniff test only worked when under full load as when it was driven daily and "normal" it showed no issues 😅 but he didn't even do a sniff test anyway 🤣

Just a tip for you as I didn't see you do it take the lid off the master cylinder it's easier to push the pads back I can't see wat the problem is using different brands on the discs and pads but I'm no expert people who don't want to pay are just wrong I would take a deposit on any job so you don't fully lose out and same with people who cancel the job keep up the good work at least you are honest as there is alot of mechanics who are just wrong and rip people off 🤬

I remember in the early 2000s the motor factor I worked at had a big push to move from copper ease to Ceretec paste, reasoning was people painting the pad with copper ease like they are doing there living room which was messing with the abs/ esp etc.....

Before I change any pads I always slacken the master cylinder cap first, I do that just in case somebody has topped up the fluid level when the pads are low, so when you push the caliper piston in the excess fluid has nowhere to go & can push the seals in the master inside out resulting in no brake pedal, I have had it happen a couple of times over the years so thought i'd share that with you.

Real guy n team, it’s the truth , keep em coming

I honestly don't know how you manage working off people's driveways.... its a credit to you.

I was always taught to take off the runners and wire brush the rust under them on the mounting bracket. Once it is clean spray some zinc paint and put back the clean runners. If you do not clean the rust off under the runners what happens is that rust builds up and pushes the runners so that the pads no longer move freely.

Absolutely hate doing these shoes+pads brakes. Wind the handbrake cable off , replace discs, pads , clean everything up, then adjust then shoes and handbrake. Do a brake roller test to find out it needs more adjusting, remove wheels and then try and adjust it through that tiny hole on the discs, one click down too loose, one click up the wheel doesnt turn, absolute nightmare hate these qashqais. Love the vids ❤

I can confirm that this stuff is very good! Just done my brakes with it as there was a horrendous squeak. Now there isn't lol

Genius idea to use the brake pressure bleeder as a pressure sensor test rig 👍👍👍👍

its his loss,you are a great guy

Nice work, and good vid.I'd recommend getting a nice big kneeling pad to save your knees for later life, as well as the knee pads. You'll thank yourself when you're getting to retirement and can still walk and kneel. Keep em coming pal. Cheers

One thing i'd mention when you have pads that worn is to always check the break fluid, if it was topped up recently and you compress the pistons lots of break fluid will seep out of the reservoir and make a huge mess.

I followed a different path in my work life but still kept my hand in and have amassed a large collection of tools and other kit (including a portable car ramp). I get plenty of friends and neighbours that come to me saying one of their other friends tried fixing this or that and its worse can I help? They can't get a good mechanic out for a week or more simply because the best mechanics are the ones with a waiting list! This is where the bulk of my weekend "work" comes from. Its more a hobby to me and I enjoy it and am also realistic about my skills as to what I can do and what I can't do. One thing I would never do is take work from a working mobile mechanic, I have had to say no to several people because they came to me first instead of calling a proper mechanic out. I have a couple of numbers I hand out and refuse to work on a car unless its for family only unless they have called out a mobile tech first.

A metal disc is a metal disk, Brembo is no better than any other make in that department, their master cylinders and calipers are usually better than others as the designs are different internally.

I am a licensed technician in Canada and the one thing I would not agree with is the slider pins. They only need to be free moving to allow the caliper to move with pad wear. If anything you would allow the outer pad to wear quicker with additional pressure pushing on the pad when the brakes are not applied with your method. If I clean and grease the pins I will always pull back on the boot while pushing the pin inwards to release any air.

You know, I know you are going to get out and out Muppets. It's not the problem it's how you deal with it and you got it bang on.

Yes it does matter. Ive had fitted rubbish pads and the stopping distance went through the roof. Pagid are generally ok but there are some awful after market one available.

When greasing slide pins, don't add too much. I had an S2000, i got used calipers cheap and there was so much grease in the slide pin hole that they couldnt go all the way in. Cleaning out the grease, there was 3 different colors from people just adding grease at every pad change even though there was already plenty 😂

Before adding grease to the sliding pin... clean it out... too much grease can cause a type.of hydraulic lock.. where it blocks the pin from being allowed to move the full length.. excess grease gathers at the far end.. and stops it sliding.. causing excess wear on the other pad...

I'd bring the boys around and start unpicking the work until they pay! Some I know where non payers are becoming more frequent now charge a refundable holding deposit which is almost the same as paying in advance. It's one thing to be a tight a*rse and skimp on maintenance but out of order to refuse payment when you eventually get round to having work done.

Nice job ❤

Any break disks and pads will do in UK. With the speed limits here there is no need for matching brands or high end brands. I am now 40k (2 years) miles on the cheapest break set and still life in them pads and discs. Wales 20 mph law is making it easy to save on break jobs.

Job well done, wish you were my mechanic

Like the way you work

The reality is that as business owners we will never make back what has been lost or stolen from us .
