South Main Auto LLC

Hey there viewers! My name is Eric O. and I own and operate a small town 3 bay shop in upstate NY. I grew up in the automotive industry (in my parents shop) and have over 25 years (working full time as a mechanic) experience repairing domestic and Asian cars and light trucks. This is all I've done my whole life. It's my hope and desire to produce videos that provide accurate information saving you time and money while sharing my love for fixing cars, my knowledge and my experiences with you as I travel through automotive repairs day to day in the shop.

Had a lot of you asking where I got the ends that go in my sockets so you can pound on them with a hammer with out destroying your socket or extension. Here they are. If the links don't work just google the part number and see who has them.

No video from me today folks but go check out Sherwood over ‪@theroyaltyautoservice‬. He's down South but is not exempt from the green crusties! Spoiler alert though, he holds back on the money shot....🙄

On a serious note though. This man has a good diagnostic thought process and leads you in real time down the diagnostic trail. This is what it takes to pin point problems 👍🏼

Channel Update:

Any of you that follow us on Facebook may see that I am uploading a lot of my older videos there. I mean videos from waaayyyy back! Back when I had a black beard! OK so that was not that long ago let's be honest. I am (as time allows) going through my older content, organizing it into playlists, updating the tags, thumbnails, descriptions and links as well as making some of them into short format videos and uploading them on Facebook. Hope your all doing well!

I don't have a new video on the SMA channel but I did tear into my '00 Yamaha Big Bear to see why the secondary clutch wasn't working like it should. Go check out our other channel when you have time!

I don't have a new video on the SMA channel but I did have to make a visit to Vanessa's parents house to have a look at her dads mower. We got that all up and running in no time. Go check out our other channel when you have time!

Rumor has it that AESwave now has the uActivate IN STOCK! It's a pretty handy bit of kit I have shown in a couple of videos and a lot of you folks were asking about it but it was on backorder at the time.

Out of curiosity how many of you folks that watch the SMA channel are professional mechanics? By that I mean, how many of you do this for a living? It can mean, auto mechanic, airplane mechanic, heavy equipment mechanic, small engine mechanic, ect.
