    You made the right call Jim. To the point where a customer asks you to perform work that is either illegal or dangerous you of course then have the right to refuse. Installing a cheap, generic sensor is neither of those things. You clearly told him of the risks involved and went ahead to complete the job according to the owner's request.Some customers are just cheap, there is no loss of integrity in your work.
    P.S. We would loved to have had that phone conversation included just like the old JTCG videos ;)

    Jim-
    I've watched your videos for about a year now. I've learned a lot from watching you. One thing I have learned is that you do a job right. Heck if I was in your area, I'd probably have you work on my car!
    That said, if I was the customer and you told me "don't do it that way", I wouldn't. I mean, what am I paying you for? Your expertise and years of experience!
    I think I'd tell the customer "Look, I don't recommend doing this way. I'll do it if you really want me to, but I can't give you a warranty on the part because I don't know where it came from and don't know anything about it's quality." If the customer still wanted it installed, I would install it with that understanding.

    very helpful! I would have done the job, I think you done good. You never know what financial hardships someone is going through, and they may just need a quick fix in order to keep the car running so they can get to work. When you live paycheck to paycheck, you can't afford waiting til you have enough money to fix it, risking a bigger problem to occur.

    @baxrok2. 7 лет назад

    Yeah, I think I would have done the job like you did. You did all the right things in that you told the customer how you would prefer to do it. Then, the choice is his. I think shops may have to come to terms with this to some degree, an educated or equipped customer who can sometimes make the correct diagnosis but doesn't have either the tools, location, physical ability, or money with which to do the repair themselves. As a DIYer, I can identify with all of those things.

    For a certain type of customer, yes.
    If they're a long time customer, understand it's payment for the service (part replacement) and no assumed liability/warranty, AND they're not going to argue the point regardless of outcome... sure. It's easy money.

    I would do it, but I would tell the customer since they did not want any diagnostics from me; if this does not fix it, or I can't get it out, it is the your problem and you will still owe me for my time. Properly drafted and signed paperwork before you start the job is key. This will keep some customers from doing this.

He's not a regular customer, from what you said, and I wonder how many other shops they tried before they saw me. Nine times out of ten, if touch it I inherit it, at my expense. My regular customers have NEVER put me in the position this customer has put you into. I wish I had something positive to say about this, good luck.

    A lot of places would've refused to use the customer's part, even if just to sell them the same part marked up. In this case it's obvious they rounded the sensor and had no choice but to bring it into a shop. They should have just said that, but I've done stupid shit I didn't want to admit as well. They only wanted to pay for your labor to get it out. So as long as you write it up as such, noting the use of their part, their refusal for a scan, they accept the CE light is still on, etc., and have them sign it, then it's on them once they leave. Hopefully they recognize you're a good mechanic for taking the job and helping them out like that.

Those O2s usually have a long cable like that. Or like you said the sensor is a universal fit. Hope things went OK with the customer.

    make sure where your banks are first before removing any sensor. I have a 06 Tacoma with a V6 4.0 L engine. Autozone told me my bank #2 was on the passenger side (right side) of the truck. I installed a new sensor on the passenger side. the engine light and code continued you show up. I came to find out bank #2 is on the drivers side (left side) of the truck, IT IS NOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. On the V8 4.7L engine bank #2 is on the passenger side, but not on the V6 4.0 L. The people working at auto part stores are helpful but they are not mechanics.

    I'd do it. As long as he knows there's no warranty or guarantee that his issue will be solved. It will be hilarious when his code keeps coming back because there's no power to the heater and it was all due to a blown fuse due to the wire rubbing on the rusty exhaust shield. It's always great to tell a cheap skate who doesn't want to pay for diagnostics that if you'd have done a diag on it you'd have found a blown fuse in the first 5 minutes and saved him the cost of a new sensor.

    I would have done the same, we too have customers that either diag themselves or go to Autozone for the free scan and part sale.

    If he's been a good customer in the past then I'd help him out but with some education. He needs to understand it may not be a fix and if he still wants you to change it, then you charge for the job he ask for. Now that your done lets hope it works for the guy. :)

    If he’s a recurring customer, I’d change the sensor charge him book labor and give no warranty. I give everyone 1 self diagnosis. After that If you come back he’s getting charged a diagnostic fee. I’m not firing the parts cannon on demand.
    What a scumbag for stripping it out and giving it to you though. You a better man than me Jim.

    im doing it myself on a 2003 4 runner because i dont want to pay all that bullshit either. 100 bucks to read and diagnostics 150 an hour labor 100% markup on parts. just saved 500 bucks by doing my own plugs and coils on 3 cylinders of 2001 explorer. a $50 code reader from napa will save you thousands.

    Customers like that will drive you batshit crazy. I tell them to fix it right by replacing all four with the correct Denso sensors or take it elsewhere.

    • @kevinb6231
      @kevinb6231 6 лет назад +2

      You must wrench for a dealership. replacing all 4 is not necessary. I purchased two late model 4.o 4runners for cheap because the dealership said they needed new engines. Both had valve seats dropped. Easy weekend fix for me. Bottom line- dealerships want to just replace parts and why not the customer pays for it...right??? after all The service dept is what pays the bills at most all dealerships.

  • @jamiewhite838
    @jamiewhite838 7 лет назад

    If somebody is dumb enough to diag there own car then do what they want after they sign the RO saying cust declined diag & supplied no name part w/ no warranty. I live/work where we don't see environmental damage so a 02 code is usually a 02 especially on a yoga. When the next shop calls we fax them a copy of the signed RO.

  • @damienbell3155
    @damienbell3155 3 года назад

    Yes just remove replace it if that is what customer requested I own a shop and I get that very few times, times are tough and I made a disclaimer saying I hold no responsibility if this part the customer requested replaced doesn’t fix the problem. It’s that simple. I charge for labor but people with low income I usually will give 7.5% discount,,,, remember I have to pay for building , etc,,,,,,,
    Looks like someone cut the wires rounded off the oxygen sensor. I would call him and tell him additional labor will be charged if it doesn’t off like supposed to. At that point he can either say ok or come get your vehicle ,,,, he wasn’t truthful, I don’t like liars.

  • @greygoosemafia
    @greygoosemafia 7 лет назад

    I think the customer is an idiot....... Always diagnose before buying parts to swap out. I never use anything but oem o2 sensors........ but at the end of the day, you're getting paid and hes feels happy about what he thinks is the smart move...

    You definitely should have done the job. So you did what you were supposed to. You're lucky to find people that are willing to pay you for such easy ass work. Sure they're very naive so you can take them for the pennies they have. Either way just feel lucky that you even have a job and that people can give you a little bit of money just to tighten two bolts and plug in wiring connector

    I certainly see no reason to not confirm the repair
    & wouldn't do the job or return the vehicle until
    ALL Emission Monitors Ran
    So I would have to turn that one away,I wouldn't
    waste my time with cheap folks.
