You help me out a lot, Alex. I am a NOVICE to intermediate mobile guy so I do not tackle huge jobs. I learn so much watching your channel. I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best.
This is one of the best comments I’ve seen in a while. Thank you for knowing your skills and limits. A lot of new guys take on jobs without being ready. It’s even harder to admit you don’t know everything. You got the correct attitude that will allow you to become good at your job.
Alex also helps out the pro guys, I have had my own shop for 34 years and a decade at a Cadillac dealer before that I have a ticking pentastar in a 2014 T&C coming in first one for me, I am going to watch every one of the videos Alex has and he does a lot of those, I have done a 5.7 hemi cam and lifters so this should be easy
@@JimSix-jo6hf, I watch the oil cooler jobs on the 3.6. as well as the lifter and cam jobs. Pretty sure I could do the oil cooler replacement, but hell no to the cam and lifter job at this point.
I use to work at jeep dealership mechanic shop. Sometime The abs steering angle dtc is caused by the bad car batteries. The steering angle sensor needs to be calibrated at the dealership
I get pissed off every time myself when blk customers feel entitled. I salute 🫡 you all for standing on business and keeping the structure of a blk business owner
Black goes to white business and gets treated like "shit", just goes to another white business. Black doesn't get what they want from an honest Black own business, swears off ALL BLACK BUSINESSES. Show our kids better and VOTE in EVERY ELECTION, starting locally.
Love your videos. I wish you were here in Goodyear Az... a shop tried to charge me $100 just to tighten my lugs on my Chrysler 300c . i was like 😳 no way, drop my car...lol
Exactly, from that point I taught myself how to work on cars from watching videos such as yours...if you were in Goodyear Az, you most definitely would get my business.
God bless you. Stand your ground. This old fat Dutchman is an old white guy, but I love you all. You treat everyone the same, end of story. People are silly. You are great business owners and I highly respect you.
Read one of those car insurance policies and you might find the problem what people are thinking that car insurance policy will pay for our want to have a big auction after 90 days. Your car will be put up for auction.
Alex you know a lot about mechanical issues with vehicles ! I’ve been working on them about 15 years and you know your stuff ! Never do I have to try and correct you like some of these Tik-Tok instagram mechanics !! Big love from Baltimore Maryland (edgemere-sparrows point)
I have 5 kids, all girls, and the youngest is 14 just two left at home, I wish I would have started my own business many years ago when the oldest was a little one, would have allowed me to spend a lot more time with the kids and not miss out with the many work related trips out of town.
5 Girls! 😳 God bless you Dave, girls are expensive. At lease mines are 😂 but I feel ya. I’m truly blessed to be able to be present for my kids lives. But I know so many men have to choose between providing or being present 🙏🏽
alex i wish i worked for ya i could of programmed that module for you so you didnt have too its so sad that people are like that love your vids and and fellow mechanic
I call it "The Same Skin Color Rule!!" 😮😮😮 When some black folks think that they are entitled to special treatment because you both share the same skin color.😢😢
It’s on right side the second gray one so it be in the middle alll the way on right side if you standing in front of jeep wrangler. If any one els wanting to know since this comment is skip cus it’s really going to hurt his money telling us where a fuse is
As a single father i do my best, n when my car malfunction i do what i can but dont always know past the obvious stuff. Glad u help keep them honest. Make it the start of a change
I love watching you guys and the family aspect of running a business can be stressful I am sure. I totally respect your work ethic and your quality of work. So hard to find today. Keep your head up and realize that Karma will take care of those who are good people. The world can be tough but people like you keep my faith that there are good people out there doing the right thing.
I love how much you love your kids. I feel the same way about my kids. I’ll do anything, drive anywhere, or whatever else they need. No matter how tired or early I have to get off work. Great video showing the hustles of a tired dad still going hard for the family❤
As a business owner and shop owner, I struggle all the time with altercations with customers, sometimes you just have to let them know, they don’t like it they can go somewhere else. As harsh it is to say something like that to someone., it never gets easy, but you have to stand your ground, especially if you know what you did was right and good and you went above and beyond then you have every right to speak your truth
Mrs Car Dr. Is so right business is business when people think that they can pay what they want to pay just because they feel some type of way business does not work that way.If you owe a bill and the bill is marked at what the mechanic priced it at you must pay.Color does not matter if u owe u owe
19:05 It totally makes me mad when anybody put black ppl should look out for black ppl ect sayings. I'm like, you're absolutely right. Soooo I'll fix your car for free if you pay my rent. I'll look for you if you look for me.
More like Alex the car Pimp! Always got the shave and hair back, somehow not dirty after work unlike me, and talking real smooth with the great smile! You helped me with my 3.6 pent in more than a few ways, I know you’re busy I don’t wanna hold you up just wanted to say I think people would donate if you streamed live, every time you did something free/nice for a customer.
isn't there a mechanics lien or something like towing companies do that get to keep the car after a certain time has passed abandoned? I know they are technically garbage but you could get your money out of it that way?
So i dont know the laws out there.. but the car yall said was out there for a year and so on, you guys cant get it towed off your property?? Is that legal?
I thought maybe my youngest son would, but he’s only in to soccer now. My oldest son likes working with his hands but he wants to be a contractor. Maybe one of my future grandkids will lol
I think the youngest girl is the one, look how fast she took that office apart, when she gets a bit older she might be able to do that to a 4l60e transmission, uncle Jim may have to come down and help her put the 1st one back together, I would love it
This reminds me of the shop my wife works at. Owner is Jamaican, his son and daughter both work there. They're kids are being raised at the shop. Part of my wife's day is watching Daniel tiger with the littlest one lol.
Hahah i felt that miss alex i swear people just by nature expect because you the same race or country etc you get that special treatment of discounts LOL! like bro in what world is that gonna pay my bills that i work hard for to provide for my family by running this business, Its an extremely selfish antic and very disrespectful. Also a side note, i am looking at all those abandoned cars, wouldnt that be a great time to FLIP them for a nice profit? That nissan man u get those parts at a junk yard and you are good to go and so on for the rest. That will earn you all that waste dlot time and headaches. Yall are solid people and really been enjoying the videos.
I have a shop in Ohio, it is a pain to get a title it can be done, I have done it a lot of times but I would rather be working in the shop, you have to send registered letters and wait a long time, I would rather have a clean lot, one call to the PD they are gone
Hey y’all! We enjoyed this one! Y’all youngest got Shun whole face! She’s such a cutie pie! ❤️ And Shun with the imaginary cigarettes…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤣 We are hollering over here!!! Keep up the good work, God sees you! 🙏🏾❤️
😂😂😂 you know she smokes imaginary cigarettes when she is stressed or upset 😂 it’s really a breathing exercise but she said it looks cooler if it looks like she smokes 😩
Shon abandoned cars are always a problem, I used to have 4 or 5 in my lot all the time, I do not do it that way anymore, I do not charge storage I give someone 48 hours to come get their car then I call the local PD, they tow is they send the letters yes I get no money but I am happy with that, then if they want to give someone a hard time it will be the guy with the gun and tazer

Stick to the code car doc Fam I'm 100000000000000000% with you on that, and thats why Me as a Black biz owner shy away from a lot of our own people's business because that very thing that you had to deal with Miss me wiff- not with but wiff the BS.. smhsmh Keep doing what you do Big Dawg I agree with you...
Alex! Ive seen these jeeps burn the pigtail up for the front sway bar. Is caused so many strange issues that made no sense whatsoever. Took a while to figure it out tbh 😂
I found your videos pretty recently. Been a “mechanic” for about 6-7 months now. Started at valvoline then got taken in by a small shop like yours. Run by the master mechanic and his wife, with the kids around. It’s cool to see their side of it, and what they deal with. Gives some insight on how they might make decisions or how my decisions may affect them.
Yes!!! Sounds like my shop lol but as owners we deal with a lot. But my main thing is taking care of my employees! They are my family too. I’m sure your shop is the same
Kudos Alex, it's rare up north to see a black-owned auto repair shop maybe it's GA. Even in the urban NYC tri-state area mostly Latino/white. I love your videos keep up the great content.
Those ford/mazda engines have 2 coolant temp sensors. One on the radiator and one on the coolant outlet. Sensors have different model numbers and diff voltage readings. Spent a week on one with a false overheating reading.
Love your Content Alex!!! As a fellow shop owner I feel your pain/stress. See if there are any float tanks in your area. I dont sleep good as well but the float tanks help with stress. I go twice a month, give it a try hell help your mind and body heal!
I love your channel! Not easy running a business and having a family, I’m in the same boat. Good job Alex! Keep up the good work! Good Dad good business owner! Many blessings my dude!
Brother, it swells my heart with joy watching y'all interact. Blessings to your entire family man! Hope to see you upgrade to bigger and better things😊🙏🏾 Keep up the GREAT work.
Feel you guys. Is it possible for ya'll have a written repair agreement that spells out the consequences of leaving a vehicle, regardless of outcome, beyond a reasonable time - 30 days - forfeited? Is that possible in GA? If so, consider adding it to your paperwork pre-repair agreement. God bless you Alex and wife, and keep you safe!
Yes we have a written agreement that they sign and they still abandon them 😩. But we are starting the process to take ownership of them, but it’s not so cut and dry in Georgia
Damn they some really rude customers might be time to get the lawyer involved for those abandoned cars so that you can possibly settle the tickets or take ownership of them cars…😤😤🤦♂️
Thanks for that snapshot into the business side of it all, and also the sometimes unpleasant parts too. The public can be a challenging "animal" to deal with. I don't envy you that part of it at all. But, again, thanks for including it. As always, the various repairs that come in are very interesting.☮
In repair link, that house had a bown circle pointing to the hose, in the top left corner there was a brown circle with a part number you can click. Thats what you need. Ford does that A LOT. Hope that helps
@AlexTheCarDoctor gotcha I was making sure. Yea, it is the same here in NC. Here, it has to be a 180 days. Then, you can file a mechanics lien with the clerk. They have to be served. Then so on. It's definitely a process that nobody really wants to or should have to go through. Put your adult pants on, pay ya bill, and get your car off ppls lot. Or take the title and sell them the vehicle so they can get paid and move on.
You help me out a lot, Alex. I am a NOVICE to intermediate mobile guy so I do not tackle huge jobs. I learn so much watching your channel. I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best.
Thank you sir 🫡 I wish the same for you and yours 🙏🏽

I use to work at jeep dealership mechanic shop. Sometime The abs steering angle dtc is caused by the bad car batteries. The steering angle sensor needs to be calibrated at the dealership
Thanks for the info! I love the tips from dealership techs. Sometimes they see things I don’t get to see. I learn from everyone

Car Doctor i think you need a Vacation you look so tired and stressed you need some me time ... me time
It’s just the heat 😩 I’m not stressed currently but me time is still needed to keep the stress away
So if you not white or black you are Mexican????? Really
Could you Timestamp where you’re talking about? But I’m sure you interpreted whatever was said incorrectly.

Those ford/mazda engines have 2 coolant temp sensors. One on the radiator and one on the coolant outlet. Sensors have different model numbers and diff voltage readings. Spent a week on one with a false overheating reading.
i was going to say dont buy a jeep because of the quality. but it appears from the corrosion on the gaskets that there was poor coolant maintenance.
Alex, she better come get her Jeep or else it's gonna be added to the abandoned list. Guess who just adopted a Jeep? Alex 😂
Ur so nice
Use a thermal camera on that wrangler.

Love your Content Alex!!! As a fellow shop owner I feel your pain/stress. See if there are any float tanks in your area. I dont sleep good as well but the float tanks help with stress. I go twice a month, give it a try hell help your mind and body heal!
Wow! Thanks I’ll look into that!
I have a very very very short list of subed channels. welcome to my list
Wow. Thank you. Means a lot!
You guys run an awesome business. I wish you guys were in my city. Top tier work
I appreciate that. Thank you.
Are you guys able to sell the abandoned cars or is it your responsibility till they come back for them?
I can sell. But it’s a process in Ga.
I love your channel! Not easy running a business and having a family, I’m in the same boat. Good job Alex! Keep up the good work! Good Dad good business owner! Many blessings my dude!
Hope you got an hour or two nap in Alabama, brother. You need rest. Can't be pushing yourself like that, especially on the road.
Brother, it swells my heart with joy watching y'all interact. Blessings to your entire family man! Hope to see you upgrade to bigger and better things😊🙏🏾
Keep up the GREAT work.
Feel you guys. Is it possible for ya'll have a written repair agreement that spells out the consequences of leaving a vehicle, regardless of outcome, beyond a reasonable time - 30 days - forfeited? Is that possible in GA? If so, consider adding it to your paperwork pre-repair agreement. God bless you Alex and wife, and keep you safe!
Yes we have a written agreement that they sign and they still abandon them 😩. But we are starting the process to take ownership of them, but it’s not so cut and dry in Georgia
Damn they some really rude customers might be time to get the lawyer involved for those abandoned cars so that you can possibly settle the tickets or take ownership of them cars…😤😤🤦♂️
21:17 Naw, that's not a slick remark. Don't sugar coat it. That was a threat. That's right, make them pay every penny they owe.
Thanks for that snapshot into the business side of it all, and also the sometimes unpleasant parts too. The public can be a challenging "animal" to deal with. I don't envy you that part of it at all. But, again, thanks for including it. As always, the various repairs that come in are very interesting.☮
In repair link, that house had a bown circle pointing to the hose, in the top left corner there was a brown circle with a part number you can click. Thats what you need. Ford does that A LOT. Hope that helps
Love yous guys and your money tree👀🤣❤🏹🎯🏆🏆🏆
lol! We’ve had it a few years now. We love you right back! 💙
Sell them 😮
We’re in the process, but it isn’t an easy process
20:32 can y'all do an auction type deal? Like if a vehicle left after a certain amount of time, it's yours. Then, sell it or auction?
Yes we’re currently doing that now. It’s a process here in Ga 😩
@AlexTheCarDoctor gotcha I was making sure. Yea, it is the same here in NC. Here, it has to be a 180 days. Then, you can file a mechanics lien with the clerk. They have to be served. Then so on. It's definitely a process that nobody really wants to or should have to go through. Put your adult pants on, pay ya bill, and get your car off ppls lot. Or take the title and sell them the vehicle so they can get paid and move on.
@AlexTheCarDoctor1 ummm appreciate it. I had no clue. Lol at the Victor
@@vbarbee1 I think that was a scammer!
@@AlexTheCarDoctor I gotcha. Seemed a little odd
Good morning family
Morning
