If you sell 1 car every day and make 2000 on every car you make 360.000 a year. Something is fishy here. 2000×190= 360.000. Take his advice with a bolt of salt. He couldn't have saved 1000.000.

You remind me of an owner I worked for. During the 80s I was a mechanic at a big used car dealer in CT. One of the owners would constantly tell me how much he hated customer service work. He would give me the same story you just told over and over again. It got to the point that he was complaining that we were costing him money. THEN the recession hit and we stopped selling cars completely. Service was working six days a week mandatory. Service kept the dealership open for two years until sales picked up. I'm not sure I would drop customer service altogether. But your the owner :)

East coast rust problems are a nightmare, as I see on South Main Auto Channel LLC. My Escalade EXT is on its third motor mount, time to install a torque strap. 500 for the first replacement, I replaced it the last time, 3 1/2 hours. Most of the time was the steering shaft, I anti seized the shaft and bolt so the next time should take 2 hours max. 403 ponies too much for the crappy designed hydraulic mount.

I made the same decision 25 years ago working on houses. I have always bought houses, remodel them, and sell them. I can work any time I want and rarely have to be somewhere at a certain time. Only downside is that I only get paid 2-4 times a year!

My advice when it comes to hiring good help ......I was a painting contractor for many years. We did a lot of custom work, so I needed highly skilled painters. Most of the time, I had four or five painters working. I sought out the best, and I paid them according to their ability and how much they produced. I paid these guys top wages. Generally , painters are known for job hopping. But, these men stuck with me because they knew no one else would pay them what I did. It pays off in the long run. Treat people right.

Two items may have the identical specifications, but that tells you nothing about the build quality, durability or actual design. Most people will shrug and take the cheaper one.

Create a great working environment where even if you have to do a shitty job, they'll do it knowing that they are appreciated and you're trying to make their job easier, not harder. I used to do contracting and home renos, I'd hire on helpers from time to time on bigger projects and I always treated them with respect. For eg: if we finished at 4:45? I'd pay them to 5. If they didn't have a small cheap tool to complete the task, and I had a spare, I'd give them my spare. (not loan, give). If I was going into town and would be back around lunch, I'd bring pizza. If it was snowing and freezing cold, I'd call the day early if we were soaked AND I'd be out there in the blizzard with them, I wouldn't be sitting in the warm truck doing paperwork. I worked for a construction company and favourtism was a HUGE issue. There were the "cool kids" the site boss would treat differently and give all the easy jobs to, and then us low lifes who would get all the shit jobs. One time on the friday before a long weekend he was leaving early at last break and walked right past us low lifes and said to the cool kids "have a great weekend, I have to go to the office and do paperwork, call me on the cell phone if you need me" with his back turned to us.....it was brutal.

Had a customer 2 weeks ago, who comes in with a 2012 Honda Odyssey says he wants an oil change and to check the car up cause he was going on a vacation to San Diego (from Phoenix). Just so you know he just bought a new Audi Q7 but decided to park the new car in the garage and drive the old one to California. We did the oil change, and everything else looks ok for an 11-year-old car. 4 days later he called me from California saying that the engine is vibrating hard and making lots of noise. He says I had you check it out and you said it's ok, but now it's broken. I told him that with old cars like this you never know if it is going to run for another 10 years or will break down tomorrow, I can't guarantee anything. Funny how much pleasure we get from trying to help people.

I started realizing things very similar to what you’re talking about. For me I do construction/repair work. When I stopped doing residential work I started making more money than I’ve ever made in my life. Instead of doing a roof repair for $250 for half a day/sometimes it would take the whole day and you still feel bad when homeowners make you feel bad about a $250 repair Now I’m doing a commercial roof repair or something similar for $2500 Usually one day maybe two. But the thing about commercial work is I’ve also had a $10,000 job that I did completely by myself in two days. That’s not possible with residential work.

Great video. I started my career in taking automotive classes in High School and went to a trade school. Worked in automotive field for 20 years and finally left the industry completely. Really got tired of the same things you stated... Fixing other peoples problems. Sometimes it just starts with the customer not researching what they buy or have it checked by a mechanic. People will buy some of the junkiest crap and expect you to fix it like it was brand new. Or they try to do the repairs themselves only to find out they cant and then bring it to you but fail to mention what they did. Those usually take an hour to find. Once you catch it you ask them about it and they finally fess up that they tried to do it themselves in which if they told you up front what they did you could have saved time looking into the real problem. Dont blame you one bit on the decision you made. Life just got alot better without those headaches.

Well said !! Thank you !!!!!

Best video yet! Thanks for explaining. Makes total sense!!

Excellent content. I appreciate your transparency. Great work.

Man I agree with you one 100%. I own a small repair shop and I'm honestly thinking about saying screw this. Too many headaches not really worth the money in my opinion. At least I'm the technician so I don't have to worry about other mechanics. Selling cars without repair would definitely be the way to go!

i once met a builder who told me he stopped remodeling kitchens and baths and focused only on framing. he told me after he did that, he never had a customer argue over the color or the position of the sink.

Thanks for sharing this concept with us. I showed this to my business partner. I had been saying this for 5 years and couldn't get through to him and your video I guess because it said exactly what I said drove the idea home through his thick skull and now we agree to eliminate the bad side of the business so we can concentrate on the good profitable rewarding side. Now I just have to find the energy to move ahead after spending all the energy on the business boat anchor bullcrap that we did before. Your awesome dude.

I agree with you on finding a reliable person. I go thru this all the time with my business as well.

I have to say I love your videos! I live in eugene oregon and love this! Even if all of us don’t own a car lot we all have headaches and problems that this lesson can be used in our everyday lives. If I ever makes out to New Hampshire guarantee i will have to stop and say hello.

re: "If I ever makes out to New Hampshire guarantee i will have to stop and say hello." 1. Are you being invited to do so? 2. How much of Craig's time do you plan to waste saying "hello?" 3. What would happen to Craig if all 149K subscribers "dropped in to say hello" anytime?? @Ian Anderson

Your way of thinking make sense . Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

super insightful!!! THANK YOU!!

I want to say, I'm a Broken Man, for over 20 years of fixing other people's problems as an AC contractor. And it's just like you say. You'll have somebody call you with a problem, and then later you're being blamed for their problems. That you did not create. And they'll go tell everyone how you ripped them off , when you didn't at all. It's a nickel holding up a dollar. Your video is helpful because others feel your pain. It's too bad some people are such a pain in the ass, and just want someone to blame, their whole messed up miserable life on. I just want to say that I wholeheartedly get it. But, hardly anybody else does.

Really good video great info amigo saludos from San Antonio stay safe

Now’s a good time for somebody to open up a mechanic shop down the block from you LOL

Jewelry repair is the same story pretty much! I hated it when I was doing it. Great video and advice!

Makes perfect sense to me. More power to you. Love your work BTW.

Classic case of Opportunity Cost!! Craig does a great job explaining in terms that small business owners can really understand. Keep up the good videos!

Great content! I admire your brutal honesty! Keep it up, I'll keep watching. But please, don't buy an abandoned mansion & flip
