2012 Chevy Equinox code P0442- small evap leak!
One of the most misdiagnosed check engine lights is EVAP codes. Most people feel a new gas cap will fix the light. In some cases, they are correct! if you are going to install a new gas cap, buy one from your dealer and use only the OEM part. However, a lot of people, including mechanics, will install parts without a proper diagnosis. To properly diagnose the car, you'll want to have a proper scanner and a smoke machine.
This suv came to us after another shop replaced the gas cap and the purge solenoid. The engine light came back on, at which point the customer brought us the suv for proper diagnosis and repair.

Просмотров 40 тыс.3 года назад

This can damage your new battery, alternator or electrical components once a new battery is installed. This makes it difficult for the do it yourself person. Contact your local mechanic and see what they charge before you buy a new battery...

I get over 80k miles on my Lexus RX330 pads and rotors which cost me about $600. Going to replace them with POWERSTOP Z36 which cost me about $400. Fingers crossed I get at least 80k miles on them... hoping for 100k!!!
I have more time then money so I do my own brakes. I'm slow, takes me a long time so a professional is more efficient. But for 250 dollars in parts, I can use premiums Akebono parts and do both axles vs 700 dollars if I paid a pro. But........ if I had the money I would pay a pro to save time.
good stuff, I wonder why you stopped making videos
@Keychain-vm9tj Thank you. I really need to make more. The shop has just been so busy I haven't dedicated the time to it. I appreciate your comment, and I will spend some time making new content. In all reality. I only made it because my website designer wanted me to show people how we install brakes on our customers' cars. I had no idea it would get so many views, likes, and comments.
What is the brand of the high carbon rotor? Am looking at doing the wife's car and looking at the higher end parts for the job. PowerStop has my attention as of this writing.
I do my own repairs, brakes especially. Hard part is finding good quality parts today, so much.of it is absolutely garbage.
A big NO on required government inspections!
Chris,i am in illinois if i come to NJ i will visit you Thanks for information I am oem person but on my son 2004 odyssey i want to use moog or dorman control arms what do you think ? Make a viedeo when people can use non oem parts .for brakes i use oem
The reson they fell off is, the owner not getting there car serviced on time. No make/ part will last forever.
i hope your customers appreciate having you as their technician!
@@charleslodge1097 Thank you! We have a lot of great customers who really do value us. In fact, I was invited to one of their weddings in a few weeks. Our customers are our family!
A brake job is fairly easy with basic tools. The exception is on the rear brakes for some cars requires the ODBII computer hookup to retract the parking brake portion of the caliper. VW/Audi are good examples of this.
What is the name of this line you replaced So far i have changed the purge and canister valve in the engine and under the chasis
We’re not seeking knockoffs, just honest Mechanics, Thanks
You people need to move to Chicago !!!
Clear, to the point, honest, Thank you !
Can I upgrade Calipers with bigger pads and larger rotor ?
Good job! I was wondering which models and brand can you suggest me for a 2003 Ford E-450 Super duty Dually Box Truck heavy loaded all the time? (inside is an office and a lot of ocmputers rackmounted
To much grease for nothing.....you should put purple grease only where the caliper hit the brake pad....
This video popped up when I searched for a way to diagnose an Equinox without a scanner. Can that be done?
Great video! Where does one buy these high-carbon quality rotors for a DIY person?
What is an example of a high-carbon rotor?
Does it matter the whither they’re high carbon alloy or high carbon cast iron I’ve seen both being sold, also I found duralast high carbon rotors but they’re only $118 are they legit high carbon rotors? They’re not much more expensive at all. Just making sure I’m buying the best I can
What type of spray did you use on caliper bracket? Where do you get the carbon rotors? We need shops like yours in our area.
my Hyundia must use oem white box rotors they all have heavy rust like the picture.lol
Learned a lot fromthis video. Very detailed. Thanks so much!
hi, just curious what brand of brake rotors do you recommend in 2024?
Please move to Hawaii and open up More Summer less Winter Auto Repair. I'll be your first customer and will bring in many more!
Great video and appreciate great mechanics. Curious what did you use to coat the used caliper? Rust inhibitor?
Mine was rusted out just like that one. Thanks for the GREAT video!!!
presume that's an aftermarket spring (yellow?) Are the shocks and struts dead and everything was being absorbed by the springs and rest of the body?
90k on front brakes your smoking crack
u should not that purple Ceramic lube for that part only use Silicone lube for that part
I put syl-glide on 1 pin, purple goo on the other. When they came back for another set of brakes in 50,000 miles, I stopped using purple on the pins. It was always dried out compared to the syl-glide.
NEW rotors need to be cut to match the hub. This is what the factory does. And the Toyota dealership.
Its 2024 and this is by far the best brake and rotor service i have ever seen. From the high quality rotors to the sanded and painted calipers, you stand out from alot of shops. I am from upstate NY and it would definitely be worth the 7 hour drive to have you work on my vehicle.
I might have missed him saying what brand of pads he is using. But I use Akebono because that's what Scotty recommends.
Did you just say $450 for a 4 wheel disk brake full brake, replace all 4 rotor brake job, painted calipers, new hardware, purple grease? I'm in. This is a steal!!!
@@mickeyflowers I'm getting quotes of $1200. to $1500. everywhere I go. Nobody except the dealer here will install parts that I buy.
AKEBONO brake pad are the best. Japanese, made in USA ! I prefer brembo rotors
Disc brakes are so easy to work on
This video i think shows the right way to do business. thank you for the information.
Thank you. The reason we did this video was to inform our customers how we perform a brake job. Our web designer suggested we upload it to RUclips and link it to our website. We had no idea it would get 500k views and create over 2k followers for our channel. We are honored, and we appreciate you watching and commenting.
Upon getting a brake job quote from Kia I had asked if the new replacement rotors were OEM, they said no. They typically just purchase rotors from AutoZone. Of course, I don't know how much better Kia's OEM rotors are compared to AutoZone's, probably not much, it was just surprising to me. Not to mention their job would have been almost $300 more than going to a local brake shop who's more concerned with using quality parts and charging a more reasonable price.
"Nobody turns brake rotors anymore..." Thats completely not true, at least in Texas as alot of people still do it. But we dont get the rust down here like yall do.
I am a woman and unfortunately I have been cheated by more than one mechanic in my life. I really liked your video, it was clear and specific. I am very grateful that you showed exactly what the equinox 2012 chassis looks like and how to locate a small leak using a smoke machine and an estimated repair cost . I changed the gas cap and now, after watching your video, I know what I should hear from the mechanic I'll go to. Thanks to you, I will be well prepared. Thank you very, very much.
I love this message. We have a female service writer because it makes our female customers feel more comfortable. Our ratio is 70% female to 30% male customers currently. I treat everyone the same and wish that were true for all mechanics. I'm glad our video helped to prepare you a little more for your repair. Let us know if there are any specific topics you'd like us to do a video on. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please subscribe so we can build up our channel and help you and others more.
Unacceptable
Purple grease 😱🤦♂️
2:30 diese Bremsscheibe ist aber schon sehr lange sehr tot .😁
Ich stimme zu. Der letzte Mechaniker hätte die Hardware austauschen oder neue Bremssättel einbauen müssen. Leider reparieren einige Mechaniker Autos nicht richtig und manche Leute möchten nicht für eine ordnungsgemäße Wartung bezahlen. Wir bieten nur erstklassige Arbeit an, weil ich stolz auf meine Arbeit bin und mit meinem Namen und meiner Garantie dahinter stehe.
@@WinterAutoRepair ja . das ist das Problem . Keiner kann oder möchte zahlen . Ich hab auch das Glück , das ich einen wirklich ausgezeichneten Vertragshändler habe . Qualität und regelmässige Inspektion kostet . wobei ich auch ausdrücklich schreibe : Das weiß ich vorher , was ungefähr auf mich zukommt . Und wenn es garnicht finanziell passt , nehm ich die Dinge raus . Bremsen , regelmässiger Ölwechsel : Das Herz und Niere vom Auto . Da wird nicht gespart .
I had a bent rotor😮
Funny, my 99 Dakota 4x4 front brakes lasted 188,000 km, the back even longer?
Plus $1000 for a brake job is daylight robbery!! Learn to do this yourself
Bullsh#t! Brakes do not vibrate once changed. You shouldn't be able to feel any vibration at all
Agreed. The customer knew better, which is why we re did it for him.
@@WinterAutoRepair Assume the steering wheel was vibrating really bad before the 'brake job' too. Would it be vibrating even move just because he put new pads on the warped rotors?
Wow who ever did this needs shut down....as a tech I can say 100% this is not what happens in a real brake job from a real shop...
All this stems from people having no idea how to work on their vehicle. You dont have to be a master mechanic but for as much as we humans rely on cars the majority of us have no idea how they work.
True. Not everyone is handy. For those people, find a great mechanic and be faithful to them. We always treat our customers well, our A customers get priority treatment however. Being faithful to my shop makes me want to go above and beyond for my customer.
