“I knoe you know a guy. I know him too”

FORD enacted a recall on this issue

There's definitely the worst camera work I've ever seen.

The problem is that savings is more then just 20 bucks for example I just put a new alternator in my truck the alternator only cost me 228 dollars if I had a mechanic do it it would of cost between 500 to 600 dollars after labor and god only knows what other feeds. I will agree though that you really need to make sure you know what you’re doing before taking on your own jobs do a lot of research.

My mother's 2014 Chev Impala LS (2.4) is spitting out multiple codes (P0011, P0033, P0106, P0131, P0171 and now P0297). Mechanic gave up on it and said he got them all except the fuel trim (said the long term idle is at 19% and he can't lower it). No idea what to do next - most likely car dealer.

"Save twenty bucks"??? Lucky to find a shop charging $150/hr rate here.

The reason why people bring their own parts is because they don't want to double pay for crappy Napa parts made out of the same factory that the internet parts come from. It's all cheap Chinese shit

I've had more problems taking my vehicles to shops than doing it myself.

That's why one should only use OEM...

How could one not tighten a castle nut?!? It's just common sense!!!

Its not the 20 bucks im looking to save. Its the 80 to 120 an hour on a job thats always quoted for 2 hours longer than it actually takes because there might be "eventualities" like something stuck or corroded. Imagine the customer charging you 2 bucks a minute for them to tell you what the problem is in the first place.

I’m about to embark on overhauling the suspension on my Boxster (my biggest automotive project to date). This is a timely reminder for me to take my time, double check everything, and use the service manual I have to tighten everything down correctly. Thank you.

Most people dont have the option to pay someone else..

Jesus christ they apparently asked the trailer bearing expert family member, finger tight? C'mon they can't be this stupid. Rule #1 If you can't steer it or stop it, its useless.

hey man ppl voted for biden and need to save money bc there food cost 200 dollars more then normally. ppl are desperate now

Well good thing those castle nuts and pin did their jobs. Exactly why that needs to be a castle nut.

Hey just saw you redneck rig a frame back together. No one wants to touch my truck im kinda desperate. Do you have a website or way to contact you? 😅

I do my own work because I don't trust a guy on flat rate to make sure it's done right. Working on cars is mostly not rocket science, it's patience and discipline to find the correct information before you start a job

Great advice.

Hi Mate i been having a nightmare trying to set my starter SBC with headers i needed to shim the outside bolt to get closed to the flywheel i put 1/16 shim but i just bend the shim a 90 degree about 1 inch on the open side of the shim and put to the outside between the block and the starter on the outer bolt to hard to drop starter looks good hope will stay there great video easy to follow thanks

Hi there bro , nice job , also can this test b performed to a 13 Ford Edge ? Just locate that TCC wire and pull it out the connector as u did here in ur video ?

The light turn off when key is on

As a DIY mechanic and machinist by trade, it’s really disgusting how much money car repairs cost. That being said working on vehicles has taught me y’all don’t get paid enough.

Looks like he smacked hell out of it releasing those t/r ends.

Just looked at my moms car, a Nissan versa, it had a weird scraping noise coming from the front drivers side wheel. The bottom nut on the sway bar link was missing. The threads were completely intact, it didn’t break. It’s just kind of hard to get good leverage on the nut with your wrench when your arm is in the wheel well. So whoever put that sway bar link on just said fuck it and barely tightened the lower nut, causing it to come off eventually.

It's really simple. The state of the economy means that a mechanic that charges $75-$125 an hour is completely unaffordable. Ill take my chances...

What I would say if I found this in my car, at 0:18 "What we have here, is failure to communicate"

Absolutely amazing how did they do that

I never checked doing repairs I just repair random things and charge people random amounts of money

Two torque wrenches. Misguided Missiles

lol how could someone think putting everything hand tight is good

Yes, too many people do not know what they are doing, but do it anyway. When I got started working on cars (Fords), I purchased the Ford shop manual and the Chilton’s manual, and studied both before I started work, and while I was working. Back then, Chilton provided Chilton Tips that saved a bit of time, or explained a bit better what was going on, and was a worthwhile investment. Even today it pays to review both the Ford manual and a Chilton book, even if the Chilton books are not as good as they once were. Joe

Sorry bud but I’m gunna keep doing my own work unless I absolutely can’t.

lemme just spin this caliper around 360 before i put it on

Fixing other people's botched work sucks. Splendid video.

There is an inexpensive 11 MKX for sale, looks great. I did research on it. After all the WP videos now popping up, definitely a pass. 130K, it is sure ripe for one. I could probably do it but not worth my time. Now I see it could be a repeat repair.

Just show him the video mate. Show him exactly what you have to work with. What someone did.

How much should this cost

What parts? I didn’t hear you mention which parts, just that you need parts. I’m having the same problem please tell me what part you needed to use to correct.

I agree to bring it to someone who knows what they’re doing or learn it yourself. But saving “20$” doesn’t sound right? If it really was a 20$ difference then I think that guys has more than just a few bolts loose?

If y’all didn’t mark parts up 250% people wouldn’t do this so much. Save $20? I saved $700 vs “estimate” on an alternator replacement recently. Y’all are killing us!

Every time i go to a mechanic they damage my car. Also they are, as a rule, arseholes.

you are right about some points, but the reason he obtained the parts is shops jack them way up, and the reason he found "a guy" is because "you guys" are empires that charge more than a vegas hooker and brain surgeon per hour combined. And all this fortune goes to greedy owners and managers who sit behind a desk or arent there while the tech gets scraps from the table and is ALSO pressured to get it done in less time than quoted, so theres EVEN more scammery.

Maybe it was just at a body shop. Body shops loved to leave castle nuts loose.

Many times people learn how to fix their car o. Their own because they have found it dificult to find a proefesional and honest mechanics, not because they pretend to safe money.

Don't use these parts made by X always use parts made by Y. Both parts are made in C or M just a different name on the package.

Ask for the Wolfman

I'm so glad my dad taught me how to work on everything from a flat tire to a headgasket replacement. Thanks dad

I truly appreciate and respect an honest mechanic. I had the best mechanic for 30 years. He finally sold his shop and retired. So if you do have a great Mechanic count your blessings.
