    I also live in a word of mouth town. I have been doxxed in this town so I can't find any work here. Please think before you type a message.

    Good luck with your new ventures Ray!

    To make a long story short, my grandfather used to be grumpy and scary, the. He stopped working on passenger cars, now he only works on big rigs and either work trucks (street sweepers, garbage trucks, diesel etc) never seen him happier or more successful

    To those posting negative reviews…

    …that is a form of harassment …that is a bad thing…who do you think that's going to fall back on? You? Think before you do something ignorant…

    This world is cut throat and you'll get no where defending people that walk on you. Tearing down no but defending them is uncalled for dude.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FJB says:

    Not cool. Very stupid actually. If you want to help send him a few bucks to survive while he’s out of work. If he needs it that is.
    That would be way smarter and helpful.

    Jesus H Christ people, Ray is a grown man and he doesn’t need your help fighting his battles (not that he has any) for him. Mind your own business ! Most of you internet Rambos wouldn’t have the balls to say crap to the owners of this shop in person if you had a mouth full. Grow up!

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Walter White says:

    Amazes me on how many idiots who think they are doing Ray a favor by bad mouthing his last employer….they do not think how they will affect him now and in the future….

    All those people who are participating in bad mouthing his last employer send ray an email with your current employer contact information so he can say a few words on your behalf…..lets see how well that will work out for you….

    If you really want to help ray out…donate to him or his channel or buy MERCH from him…that will help him more than anything you can say to another person….

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kenoscope says:

    I know what State RR lives in but have no idea which village, because it has never been important to me. As to negative reviews, if I haven't done business with you you will never get reviews from me, positive or negative. As for me, I live on the West side of San Antonio Texas, at my age and poor health the chances of me traveling more that a couple dozen miles anywhere are pretty much zero. Best to you Mr. Ray.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Sonic Zone says:

    A life rule I was once taught was that post break-up, as tempting as it seems, do not have any further interaction with the other party. Do not engage, do not make contact.
    Karma will give them their dues sooner or later. I have seen this happen countless times, especially in my own breakups.

    Working at a job is conceptually similar to being in a relationship. When she's gone, leave her alone, don't be creepy. And that extends to your friends and family, in this case I directly refer to the community behind Ray.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bagatuuri says:

    Ye ofc this can in someway effect badly but in next place who hire you they know that your yt content will bring alot of new customers and also good advert to company, you dont have any worries in my opinion. I would hire you instantly for sure! 🙂

    Just like Alex Jones you will have to pay one billion dollars in damages for things you never did and just like Alex jones you committed no crimes. Consider this.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Someone Inclass says:

    Where can we send you money. So you could not worry so much n

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Deadmeat says:

    It's like this, when Ray asks his next employer if it's ok too film, they will check it out and see negative comments on his previous employers site, we know what they will say. So if you want more content then do as the man said.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Leonard says:

    Best of luck to you Rainman, prayers for you.
    You and I know these kind of changes most often make for better times.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Starr_Helix says:

    C’mon peeps- apply a retracto, be truthful and honest but not nasty, that shop allowed Ray to film during his time there – which has allowed him and us to get to appreciate him – so, let’s remember that instead.

    People and situations change, stuff happens and we may not appreciate the result – but pointing, poking and dissing achieves sh1t. And that ain’t helping Ray.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Daniels says:

    I saw the reviews damn they gonna give you a bad reputation

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stefan Mosiek says:

    Not cool people the guy is awesome

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pascal Huyghe says:

    Not sure why people did this as Ray stated himself he was planning on leaving himself by the end of the year anyway.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars YUKI JINJUJI says:

    I just posted 5 more negative reviews

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bad Batch says:

    This is idiotic. If you enjoy Ray making videos at work, how exactly is he going to get hired by anyone who thinks could happen to them some day.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Edwards says:

    It doesn't matter if we vote for the same person or not, I'm not surprised he was let go.

    I've seen so much sloppiness in many professional aspects as well as some personal choices as reflected in these videos.

    I watch trainwrecks. I learn from others' mistakes. That is the morbid curiosity that I hold with this channel.

    Bite enough hands and nobody will feed you.

    Maybe dude will have time to learn from a true diagnostic master, South Main Auto Repair…

    Watching him struggle with reinsertion of a Hyundai taillight shows amateurish incompetence. Train……. wreck.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ian vader says:

    Join the mans Patreon help him out!

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ness says:

    I was a bit concerned this was going to happen, to be honest. Ray has so many followers, that all it takes is a handful out of the bunch to really make a mess when it comes to doxxing/bad reviews/calls, and other negative actions. Sure, i understand why they are doing it, its because Ray is a really stand up, kind, guy, and they most likely did him pretty dirty. But, we cant bring negativity to his reputation by being "That mechanic guy who films, has followers who will bring trouble to our shop" We dont want him to have to stop making videos due to the fact noone will let him film because of this sort of action.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ray Gale says:

    Never burn bridges behind you, cause one day you may need that bridge.
    So all you pyromaniacs out there put those matches away and play nice.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars I'm Me says:

    I rather thought that this might be the reason you didn't trash your former employer in your moving out video. Few future employers want to hire someone who bad mouths their previous employer because they figure that some day that someone will leave and bad mouth them. This presents a dilemma where the employee has a legitimate grievance or was unfairly fired. How does one convey that in an interview without coming across as bashing the former employer? It can be difficult.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Graeme b says:

    Ah , the downside of being popular on social media. Its a shame when some people have misguided intensions. Good luck to you Ray..

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ivan says:

    That's low man, respect the shop's decision and leave it at that, leaving these reviews will hurt Ray more

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lookingne says:

    If you want to help Ray. Go through EVERY video and "tappy tap" the like button. Remember, he has a family to feed, magnetic lights to buy and of course, he needs to feed his addiction to brake Kleen.

    Hi Ray watching from Australia you can service my car any time you like

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dion Tranekær says:

    Oh nooo. Not the warriors

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike McCarter says:

    sigh People just don't listen. You asked everybody NOT to do that crap in your "I got fired" video, and you told them why, and still people just can't resist starting crap.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Spear 327 says:

    Some things should not be revealed when you're a YouTube vlogger. Hope everything turns out okay for you. Social media has many hostile people.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carson Whitehead says:

    Yeah, Ray is so popular, but other stores may decide not to look at him because if he leaves there they get Negative press. The chance of negative press could keep him from getting another good job.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Clifford Murphy says:

    Would not ever do that my friend

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars OG TintTricks -Derek Nickels says:

    C'mon guys, all know you meant well, but it's like punching out your little brothers bully, it doesn't solve the problem and escalates the situation. If you posted, just delete it, you don't have to reverse it or apologise, the management have probably realised their mistake, but they're never going to admit it, so make it easy for Ray to get back to making great content!

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keldon says:

    People who do that childish shit are same people who mindlessly argue that having an youtuber employed as mechanic is 0 problems, just free benefits for employer like advertisement etc

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Luke Robinson says:

    im not putting anything up i live in australia

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ove hägg says:

    good morning from Sweden

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric Richardson says:

    If I was Ray I would let them know that I don't condone any of the bad comments being left on their site and have no part or affiliation with anyone leaving these comments as well as apologize for the inconvenience it may be causing.. there are many trolls / rude people on the internet and you can't always be responsible for what some bad apples do and should not let it ruin your reputation or stop your growth

    What’s happened to your home shed/work shop

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars FaceInTheCrowd09 says:

    Who has time for such things?

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JiMi_hEnDrIX420 says:

    To be fair, did you leave like you said here or did you get fired like the previous video thumbnail was created as….also, more business will come to a shop you have or work in which I'm sure you were the benefit of so you can't really complain about the opposite. Not saying it is OK but it kinda comes with the territory and goes both ways. Fair to ask but to demand people stop something they have the right and or ability to do is another thing altogether. Just a suggestion….. instead of demanding people stop what is their lawful ability and right to do, maybe use your superior language skills and ask that if people follow you because they like you, and are the ones doing this to stop as it's making any possible future endeavors hindered because of their actions vs demands.

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jennifer WhiteWolf says:

    Sad that happened.. I have seen this happen on other youtube channels too. … best to leave stuff ALONE!

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Vande Sande says:

    Not a very responsible thing to do. Please don't do this to anyone just hurts everyone. Including the friends of Ray and bad for all parties in the future.

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric Richardson says:

    Yeah it's a very not cool thing to do and doesn't help any part of his situation at all , hopefully the people leaving nasty or bad comments stop and remove them hope everything works out for you Ray I like watching your videos and that new trailer is awesome after a few mods it will be even better

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 4eyes says:

    Wasn't me.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Moe Whitfield says:

    christ guys, grow up and stop being children, RAY needs to be able to work.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R.O.B says:

    Ray, sorry to hear things have gone a bit sideways. Once you get all the Mama and Papa bears to calm down , itll be ok.

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Casmige says:

    Calling the ex-shop repeatedly & breathing heavy on the line or laughing maniacally histrionically??

    Is that ok?

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Duane Thumudo says:

    No point in the negative reviews. They will take a hit from the people that will stop going there for service.

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trucker Daddy - AKA John in Québec says:

    Not cool

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars fully charged says:

    I ray all the best from Scotland hope you find work soon . You do have the tools and you are a brill mechanic to self employed. Even here in Scotland we need people like you. A good person like yourself should do well. Good luck bud

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Honklerton says:

    People are going to do what people do. Kind of a vain practice trying to control other's actions – and then it's rather presumptuous to take responsibility for what other people have done – when you had nothing to do with it in the first place lol. Doing stuff like that WILL land you in hot water.

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars word vango says:

    Anyone that posted negative reviews, man up, go delete them. We all support Ray. So actually support him and do what he's asking

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Burdine says:

    Honestly… what is wrong with people that think they can be a Keyboard warrior in the ludacris defense of another person who didn't ask for the "help"… Ray makes great content and do disparage him like that is just unconscionable…. Honor the man for what he does.

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Zach Davis says:

    I feared people would retaliate in that way as it always does. Things sometimes just come to an end people, especially when it’s been felt and came to peace with it happening already. No need to try to hurt their business, they did it enough to themselves by loosing Ray.

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars deathlis says:

    So in light of this, have you considered (not that it would stop the actual crazies) taking a little more care in obfuscating private info in your videos? Not saying this is your fault or anything, and I'm sure immature kids watch your videos as well (modern cancel culture being what it is, doing this is probably a reasonable reaction to them 😞). But I'm a busy dude and watch maybe a 3rd of your content at most, yet off the top of my head I can recall a number of things I've noticed in your videos that would make it easy to locate you (saying from experience, as I do that from time to time in my job).

    Just sayin' – for all the good people out there in the world, there are still plenty of crazies. Making a small effort to deter all but the most dedicated seems like a good idea.

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Topher D says:

    I’m a hater and even I didn’t do that shit. Wtf guys?

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars daniel farmer says:

    You need your own shop

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Henrik Stenlund says:

    There are some bad guys who want to harm him. That is a shame. Best of success for Ray

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lopaka76 says:

    Nothing will help anyone by posting negative reviews.
    Ray definitely seems like he is a pretty decent guy. He is very honest with his work and has a family to worry about. The reason he is no longer at the shop comes down to only concerning the shop and Ray, not a bunch of Kens and Karen's leaving b.s. reviews.

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sir Deuces 96 says:

    Caring is to wish him luck on finding a new job! Bad mouthing his former employer is probably not the greatest idea.

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pillsburied says:

    Who even does that? Fake reviews are the reason the world burns. If you've had work done you can leave an honest review. Otherwise stfu.

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jim hanty says:

    That's what happens when democrats think Doxing is a solution when in fact, it just creates more problems 🙄.

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Santa Six says:

    Sorry to say this but… I don't think that's how you make baby trailers.

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 1soupasaurus says:

    Yeah man, that's not good. The internet does this as a form of social justice, but they don't understand how it negatively affects you.

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Rocheleau says:

    Lol…. I saw this one coming…. As soon as I saw your “I got fired” video, I went to the google reviews and laughed my ass off!! It maybe funny to me, and even empowering to you Ray to see how people support you. But I also COMPLETELY understand the local and professional blowback. That’s why the extent of my social media footprint only exists in the comments sections of YouTube. No Facebook, no twitter, no nothing else. And I’m probably pushing it even here. Especially when I encroach on the videos within my profession. I hope that folks listen and pull back. I’d hate to see you retreat from YouTube due to self preservation. But if you did, it’s not that I wouldn’t understand! I’d just hope that you’d at least continue to make yourself available to those of us who really could benefit from continuing to draw from your knowledge and experience. Best wishes brother! FYI! Next time you’re going to the cabin….. you should lemme know…. I have much better travel arrangements for you.

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Edward Griffin says:

    Well said Ray. Good man 😀

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars killa_hydro 2005 says:

    There is no need to leave negative comments at somebody's former place of work

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bobbycone2 says:

    🤦 People just have no common sense these days.

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Kozlowski says:

    I’m sorry that you got fired and good luck with your future endeavors.

    Please direct all negative Google review writing to the Chinese consulate in Washington DC.

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Corbin Robbins says:

    Exactly, good luck sir!

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fun Johnny says:

    Ray, you didn't tell the story (specifically your side) so your fans will speculate and default to defending you. Ray good…employer evil.. Even if it's true or not. That also blows back on you. Love your stuff man but my advice is to either air your dirty laundry or don't. Shadow games have unexpected results.

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Al Niemann says:

    I was wondering how long that would take… hooligans

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Pedroza says:

    What peo put is not your fault Ray. It’s only an opinion

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lee x says:

    I guess expected some to do this (guess I should of commented on that first video that you need to make this video because people will do stuff like this, just to cover your self legally)

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Hunt says:

    well Ray, Im behind you on your decision all the way. I wish you luck in your next adventure! God bless.

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Sanchez says:

    Well said Ray 👍🏾

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wdavem says:

    Yeah, this is something everyone needs to NO and to DON'T!

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony Rule says:

    Unbelievable. Not only do these clowns only have one side of the story, they're doing damage after the fact to Ray and limiting his options – people will be reluctant to hire someone that has a (albeit unwanted) gang of internerd hoods running around doing this childish nonsense.

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DigitalIP says:

    Honestly, i'm surprised i let alone other people didnt think this was going to happen lol

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Duh Wolf says:

    It's sad you even had to drop this video. Good luck on your future endeavors brother. You have inspired me to jump back into turning wrenches and put my degree to work again.

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars thatcheeseguy says:

    gotta love the internet, sorry you gotta deal with stuff like that man.

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jen jeep girl says:

    Unfortunately some people will never understand and will keep posting the bad reviews Ray.

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Army Veteran says:

    They mean well. Sometimes the best of intentions have the worst results.

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars KUSIMA says:

    It's surreal that you had to make a video like this, wow.

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Forrest says:

    It's sad Ray even had to say this. Should be common sense to not misbehave like this.

    Ray isn't your friend, He doesn't even know you. Enjoy watching his videos, leave a like if you so choose, drop a comment here on Youtube, follow his other social media he posts in the description. Heck send business inquiries to the Email in his about page, or mail something to his PO box. Don't do things he hasn't explicitly invited you to do.

  99. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Louis Harris says:

    Ray is a good tech and just because he has parted ways with his former employer is not a reason to jump on the employer. I'm a master tech and I know for a fact that it takes you forever to get a good reputation but only 5 seconds to lose it . Everyone that is bad mouthing his former employer is doing Ray more harm than good, so like he asked if you did it please retract it. Your doing more hard than good

  100. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony DNY says:

    Don’t hurt ray’s reputation by sending bad reviews .. your only hurting ray & his ability to get new employment.
