You and your bride are amazing people as well! The old fat Dutchman loves you both. You are hard workers with integrity, in the current USA, not many left. I'm 67 and see the way people want to cheat and take easy way out every chance/ opportunity. I am glad you both are hanging in there. I wish you and your business the best. Word is getting out that you are a great mechanic with integrity. You will continue to increase your business and subscribers. 😊 Thanks for all you do! Keep up your superb work. 😊😊
As a mechanic it's a good feeling to help. This hard life surviving with very little pay for too many... If working people had more income they would spend it on fixing. Alex I like watching and talking to us like plain folk we are. ✌️Miami
BEST RUclipsR OUT HERE!!! I love watching your videos and the way you explain everything and go in depth with everything. You have great attitude and great teaching skills. You teaching skills were so great I was able to replace the rocker arms, lifters and cams on my 3.6 penstar engine 2018 Dodge Journey. I love your videos and watch them all the time!!! Keep up the great work ❤
My sister just bought an 04 Suburban-Tahoe. It says Suburban on the back with the double door opening back (original, not replaced), but the VIN identifies it as a Tahoe and I was wondering why that was…very interesting to see the reverse in your video (a Tahoe-Suburban 😅)
I tell everyone that a leak is better than it overheating without one. Since the leak is there the pressure doesnt build up and so it cant burn your head gasket unless you run it dry but even then i seen motors survive. Drive too long of course. Usually your gauge or an indicator light will illuminate before you severly over heat. Now if you dont have a leak you will burn the head gasket much quicker. Leaks can be your friend sometimes
If you take the plastic tab of the round ford o2 sensor plug-in you should use the closed end and slip the connector thru. That way you dont have to risk round the head with an open wrench. Hammer works great? Also in a tight oinch a prybar can make life easy
Enjoy yalls videos. I learned quite a bit just from watching. People who know things always need to be teaching those willing to learn. Wish you your wife and your employees all the best!
Man I love watching the content. Anyone working on cars first must realize that you must first diagnose the vehicle to find the problem. One must also sometimes figure out what caused the problem. Because 9 times outta 10 something caused the problem the vehicle is having. Alex does excellent diagnose and he knows his craft. I learned from a master mechanic and the same challenges he had I see you all are having. Keep up the good work one up one down and thank you for the content again and keep doing what you all are doing your making a difference.
Shout out to Alex passionate about teaching which means he study before practice. So the only Diag comment. Is a troll comment. But mannn I love the realness of this channel! Its like watching As the World Turns from a auto shop perspective
Man my grandma use to watch As the World Turns. She use to watch for different hand gestures they would make and that’s how she would pick her lotto numbers 😂 I know it sounds crazy but she would hit the numbers often 👀
Hey Alex they have a bypass that they use to turn off the start stop . It plugs into the button that you press to turn it off but it disables it permanently. And some cars it tricks the hood switch to disables start stop permanently. My customers love them 💯💯 look into it
cool of ya to be teaching a someone a new technique. Also, its facts that diagnostics can be the hardest skill. Gotta know how to use a multimeter, scan tools and lab scopes. need to know what all them there measurements mean too. Almost anybody can parts swapper, they cant solve problems efficiently though
Hey man I know the struggles. 🤦🏽♂️ I work alone and do everything in my shop with no help! Hell I’ve sent some of my customers to you guys! Keep up the good work! Your wife is an amazing assistant also! Kudos! ✌🏾 Btw I’m in griffin
Oh man thanks! I appreciate the referrals. I appreciate the support. If there is any thing I could do for ya, if you get stuck on something. Let me know
Many 2005 era Tahoe LT came with 3rd row. At the time, chevy offered every full size suv in LT extended trim; Trail Blazer, Tahoe and Surburban. My parents had a 99 tahoe and 03 trailblazer with 3 rows back when we had a property in Colquitt, GA. Miss it up there, we're Florida people 😅 Its not rare but still a nice truck!!!
I run a independent Midas and diagis the most precious skill I have worked hard to improve my diag every day and we grown it in 22 months from a 800k a year shop to a 2.5 million shop and my guys will tell you diag is the most precious skill and I pay my people very well
The diagnostic part of automotive repair is often the hardest part. Any decent mechanic can turn a wrench & replace a part, but the diagnostic aspect separates the mechanic from the technician.
If someone ever works on your vehicle and can't diag it. I hope you own a parts store and a lifetime free labor agreement with your mechanic where each and ever part replaced is free.
i am old school i would have replaced the water pump changed teh thermostat also if its not internal chacked the oil for any anti freez etc and called it good i never would have done a block test but i dont have one also :D
I bought snap on Maco cornwell. I tell anyone who is first starting of go to harbor freight and get tools. Pittsburgh industrial set. Stay away from quinn and tool box set. Harbor freight Pittsburgh industrial line have stood the test of time
Man when i worked for xpo and i couldn’t stand when they send those engines in plastic crates. They’re fine when they aren’t ruined but as soon as it’s messed up there’s no coming back and then they leave oil and it leaks all over😂😂 kills my soul watching people drop them too
Heh Alex try using a candle when you have a nut or bolt that's rusted apply heat and then put a candle on the area you need it and watch how it gets under the rust ! I'm sure you have already heard of this old school method! Keep up the great work my brother!
Bruh you and your employees have anything to prove ti those who don't use y'alls services. The people who get their vehicles repaired by the shop have high praise for them. Of course you have those who try to swindle the shop and get caught so you get a fake negative review. Fam keep making it happen 🤜🏾🤛🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Wow people are just evil to say something like that about you. I love that you Ducked the Jeep and what a great story of the customer helping out another customer…🙏🙏👏👏👍👍
It took me 2 hours to change a bad ABS sensor on my Wrangler, because it was rusted into the wheel hub, and I had to dig it out in pieces without letting any of it fall inside. Nightmare.
I just had to comment on the guy that said Alex is just a diagnostic guy and does not really fix cars, it seems normal to me that Alex would diagnose the jobs then get his guys on them, that is how it works the best guy in the shop needs to keep moving then turn the job over to one of the young guys and just be there to assist if needed I should not let these idiots bother me but it does, he knows nothing
hard to find a good small shop to stay at where i live so i choose to work for corporations, like canadian tire, uhaul, etc for the benifits and good pay , most small shops are hard to work at because your workin so close with people for 10 hours a day, and if the owner is greedy and or dont know how to run the shop it would really suck haha, if u were here id work for ya alex haha
How in the hell can somebody diagnose without knowing how to fix 😂 that is hilarious you specifically specify how things break and what happens to common issues with these cars and so on etc 😂🤣😂🤣 y'all funny on these comments man 😂
@@AlexTheCarDoctor man I'm telling you bro 🤣😂 I said it before but I'm going to keep saying it man through everything y'all going through in that shop man keep doing your thing brother you shining and the only way is up bro 👆🏽💯 much love to the family
Hey I got a 1995 Hyundai sonata with 143,000 miles and it’s a Mitsubishi 4 cylinder the valve is bent and the engine jumped timing should I just fix it or junk it
I say fix it, unless you can find a replacement car that’s less problematic at a reasonable price. Weigh the cost of the repair vs the cost of a car to make an informed decision.
No mechanic should use headphones / ear buds while wrenching. It is an overall safety and liability issue for the shop, especially in a bigger and noisy environment.
You do need hearing protection though, the loud sounds can cause hearing loss over tyme. I repaired military vehicles in the field while live fite exercises was happening. Those explosion and shock waves cause harm if you don't have protective gear.
😂😂😂 I’m sorry you didn’t win, clown of the week. Because you commented on a long form video, that lets me know YOU know that, that ain’t the case 👨🏽🔧🩺

I really appreciate that you are “the car doctor”. Once upon a time, I was made fun of for saying, I was taking my car to its doctor appointment. 😂
It’s the same thing 😂 cars need check ups too!

Yep, the open end can slip off or round off something. In addition you can use the open end to attach another combination wrench to get more leverage.

Hey Alex why don’t yall have open sockets for those o2 sensors saves you on times like these.
I have them but in the past they always spread and didn’t grip well so I do it that way
Ur right about spreading!People have not worked on enough cars to see certain tools fail.
i am old school i would have replaced the water pump changed teh thermostat also if its not internal chacked the oil for any anti freez etc and called it good i never would have done a block test but i dont have one also :D

I have some but they like to spread and don’t grip well in my past experiences 👀
I would like to submit a resume
You don't need them unless you are reusing the O2/air fuel ratio sensor. Cut off the wiring & have at it with a deep socket.
