The impressive part is not only did Mrs. O. successfully complete the repair, she did it while watching over an inquisitive child through most of it without losing her cool once, while also doing her front office duties. Plus, she was working on lunch when you came back around. That's some BOSS action right there. Eric, you gotta give her credit for nailing it under these circumstances.

Your statement at the end is soooo true. You give so much inspiration to many women out there. My neighbor needed some work done to her car. I showed her this video, gave her some confidence, and the use of my tools. To me, it was an easy job (light bulb). But she did it and saved herself $50.

WOW!! You're in trouble Eric....She did a great job AND she''s a lot cuter too. Nice job Vanessa!

She cooks she cleans and fixes car.... Eric my friend, your fired!!!!

I love how Mrs O is getting more comfortable with the camera 👍, we want to see more of Mrs O !😊

That was awesome! Eric you found a keeper for sure. What a woman. She mounts and balances tires, diagnosis and repairs wiper motors. She hunts and shoots. She's a good mom and does it all while looking beautiful! Congrats to you Vanessa. You are a blessed man Eric. Take good care of that her! You both are fantastic people! Living in New York no less! (Of course in a small rural town) 👊👍😁

I remember when Mrs. O was nervous around the camera. Now she is doing her own video. Very cool!! Keep up the great work. Jim

Trinity says "OK, you're breaking your car". Priceless!!

I wasn't prepared to see this one but am super happy to see Mrs. O do a repair on her van. Love it!!

Mr. O, you're in over your head, having any sort of discussion with the lady. You've been nailed fair and square. Shape up, lad!

Great job with the repair Mrs. O. Trinity is adorable. What a great family.

That's an awesome job Mrs. O. I think after the tire and oil change video and now this electrical diagnosis and repair, there should be a recurring spot called "Mrs. O's Corner: Making Auto Repair Look Simple". She pays more attention to detail than half the mechanics I know. Again great job.

Mrs. O needs a pay raise for sure.

This was the best repair video of 2016! Thanks for showing the diagnoses process. Trinity was sure the repair would end up with breakage. She's got a great family to learn automotive repairs from!

Good job on the repair Mrs. O.

Atta girl. Nice job Vanessa. Proud of you.

The man is so blessed. Id work my ass off everyday to have what he has

Just replaced my wife's windshield washer motor, and the rear wiper motor needs to be replaced. So, I found this vid and watched the whole thing. Totally priceless. The best part was Mr. O coming in at the end, and then bragging about the potatoes!

She did a great job, even tested for power and ground. Not breaking any of the plastic is bonus points!

Good job, but the best part of the video was your angel daughter, she is so cute and such a whip, reminds me of my daughter who is now 22. Such a good helper.

Eric - It's called a blessing, to have a wife that would have the guts to take on that project - she is a 1%er for sure. Blessing Eric a real blessing.

Love this video! Gotta side with Mrs. O on this one. She did a great job on that wiper motor!

Thank you for this video! My kids climbed on the back of our Odyssey and broke the rear window wiper loose. It was hanging straight down instead of where it should normally sit. Thought I was going to have to pull the entire back panel of the van and tighten it from the inside somehow. Saw how you removed the wiper with your video, and it was as simple as popping off the back plastic and tightening the nut to get the wiper tightened down and working again.

I can't wait to see little Trinity doing a routine service on her scooter! Such a cute little smile too!

Mrs. O. is awesome 😁 Nice job, simple process, and hopefully you’ll inspire more people to do their own tinkering on the more straight forward jobs.

Go Mrs O.!! Easy as pie, huh? Although, you should have said "There's your problem lady!" Just like Eric does. Haha! You guys are so awesome! In one family, we can get quality automotive repair advice, funny jokes, a family that can always make you smile, outdoors videos and food! The O Family has it all! Thanks for the videos guys!!

Trinity's commentary "You bwoke it." "Get down before you bweak it." "OK, you're Bweaking your car!" XDDDDD LMAO Good job on the repair.

Seriously, you all make so many people smile. Thank you.

Mrs O - Eric, my wiper blade needs fixing Mr O - I can't, I'm busy Mrs O - Hold my beer

vanessa you are amazing, that was very well done. You do the book keeping, cook and clean, and assistant mechanic. Eric is a lucky guy. You don't procrastinate at all. I like how you stopped to get detail instead of breaking stuff. great job.

You two are SOOOOOO cool. I absolutely love the Trinity/Mrs. O combo!!!!

Way to go Mrs. O, hanging around with that hubby of yours has served you well.

What a concept! Two parents who share productive interests and educate their child at the same time! There IS hope for the universe!

When fixing up my truck throughout the years I've always bought OEM. Being and 05 though, certain parts can be a little hard to find though. Long story short I wound up settling for a dorman door handle. My least favorite part of the truck. I suppose I relearned a lesson. No part at all is still better than a dorman part!

Women can learn to fix cars, and guys can learn sewing & cooking. Never say "I can't!" My mom worked on a farm, then in the airplane factory in WW2. Mrs. O has very good basic technical/observation and tool skills. A great effort. Well done.

I love those pictures of women working in factories during WW2. We can do anything if we're prepared to try 🙂 I've always fixed my own cars and motorcycles because it's really expensive to have someone else do it here in the UK. I have ended up falling into being an engineer and machinist in my own little company keeping vintage motorcycles on the road.

Eric O You found a gem in Mrs O because to find a multi talented woman are hard to find. She is one amazing woman .

This is awesome. I'm gonna make my girl fix her car when we get it. She's gonna learn so when I'm not around she can do the stuff and not be intimidated by it. Way to go Mrs. O!

Kudos Girl. Come on Eric give her a hug and tell her she did a wonderful job.

Amazing job, Mrs. O!! Great timing, Eric, in showing up after the job is done! Lol

Retired heavy duty mechanic . Worked for international for 40 years , love your vids . Now I’m repairing my teenage kids cars lol

I loved it great job!!! im sure Eric was proud after seeing this :) made me proud just watching. you guys are great. family interaction is priceless.

That feeling at the end of the video when you know you should feel a little bit of guilt lol. Sometimes we are put on the spot when the unexpected happens lol. I was laughing the entire time, I can imagine Eric's feeling and trying to brush it off by asking all those questions including how she tested it, quality content.

Eric is blessed. Did you see how she handles the screwdriver and the wrench? Thumbs up girl! You go!!! Diagnosis 5/5 , Tools dexterity 5/5, Safety 4/5 ( no boots) Temper 5/5 ( she did not curse the clip), Speed 5/5 . I say we have a new mechanic. Welcome to the trade!

More Mrs. O repair videos please!!! It was sooo entertaining!!!

Best repair video ever!

Digging through the archives! I think you should have Mrs.O in the shop more! My wife loves watcher her fix things!

Go Mrs. O that was great! Eric is a Lucky man to have a woman that can multitask and even work on her own car! Love watching the videos such a wonderful family.

Commenting on this really old video because I have a really old van - this vid was just what I needed to finally rip open my lift gate trim, so I could access my rusted-in-place latch handle, clean it up and get it working again. The real-time demonstration was perfect - Thanks!!!

yes! give us more mrs. O !!

I like how you say okay I love you to Trinity, and she just says "Bye" haha gotta love kids

Excellent work Mrs. O!!!

Vanessa and Trinity are both total dolls, man. I am recently addicted to.your channel , and.i absolutely enjoy your.diagnostics and attitude and demeanor, but the women in your family are completely awesome. Lucky man, and thank you for sharing all this.

you are a legend missus O.the car is easy, that sweet little girl is the challenge.working while taking care of the child and fixing your car.👏👏👏👏

very proud of your wife. congratulations. God bless you.

Great job Mrs. O this is one of the best videos to come out of SMA.

Mrs. O is a really good mechanic. She knew exactly what tool to use to pull the wiper mechanism. You might think of hiring her when the car work gets backed up!

I love the relationship, you guys have, congratulations!

Watch as Eric O. turns Producer. Nice job Mr. O. Well played sir. Hahaha You now no longer need to work. Look at the views this is getting!!!

She got you, Eric. No matter what you said, she got you. I hate it when my wife does that to me, too! Tell her she did a good job, put the tools away and take her to dinner. And don't forget the other two children...

I didn’t look at the channel when I click on the video. All I did was type in how to change rear wiper motor, then she showed up, I clicked on her and watched till the end then Eric showed up. I was like, wait a second. I had no idea this was his channel. I love the ending when they are talking at the end. Great video!!!

WOW....I am impressed! Mrs. O fixed it like a pro! Hey Mr. O, you better watch out because she is going to steal the spotlight!

She has way more patience with those damnable plastic panels. Awesome job!

Remember, if Eric can do it. So can his wife. Best video I've seen so far. 😅

Mr. O is such an excellent mechanic I"m sure he has something to do with all this . So much fun , had to watch it all ! Thank you !

Lol when he perfectly pulled up as you were finished I was like this is scripted, lol, but as soon as I saw his annoyance at his tools being misplaced and used I was like, yeah this is legit lol 😂 wife or not, you don't touch a guy's tools...wait especially if you're his wife lol
