  • Lets have a look and see why the heck the front CV axle is falling out of this 2000 Dodge Dakota when the customer supposedly just paid $700 to have it fixed! Ends up it is an easy fix !

    So this is what a good mechanic looks like. I haven't seen one in over a decade!

    Awesome and honest workmanship. I try and do my own repairs. Trustworthy technicians such as yourself are few and far between. 💯👍

    I really like that I can watch your videos and learn new things. What I like most is that I can watch your videos in front of, and show my grandsons because you don't have to use gutter and foul language. It is refreshing in this day and time. If I lived within 50 miles of you, you would be my permanent repair facility. You seem to be honest with your customers and know what you are doing.

    I'm a retired tank mechanic I poped off the top ball joint instead of taking the brakes apart I needed new ball joints anyways on my 04 Dakota, I made sure I got the right cv joint after watching your video thanks

    That little sweet voice saying "lunch is ready" nearly brought me to tears. I'm a mushy dude. But she's such a sweetheart!!

    I'm no mechanic but technically aware and love to watch your clear explanation of the issues and how you resolve them. Like too that you show your fallibility, when things don't go to plan, reassuring to know that I'm not alone in making mistakes. Keep posting.

    I really want to thank you... Before your vids I was a very impatient diyer always cursing and being pissed off lol, but seeing how humble you are and passionate about your job, I now just do work calmly and appreciative. Also I'm planning on going back to Auto tech school after finding a new love for this stuff.. 👍

    I went through this same situation with repair shops. I didn't have time then to make repairs myself. I am now having to repair the repair of the repair ....I will not turn your stomach with what they did the first time. I will be replacing my CV axles myself, and lower control arms, shocks, diff. axle seals, and gear lube change. This video is a great help as I now know what to expect, and how to avoid getting the wrong parts. Thanks!

    You’re a master of your craft sir. You remind me of my former mechanic who retired years ago after 35 years . He was honest, charged a reasonable prices and did quality work. Later his son took over, but the shop was just not the same. The shop closed 6 months later. Keep up the great work. You will never have shortage of work.

    Great lesson in matching your ordered parts to the parts you're replacing. Also enjoyed that you dove into the source of the problem, which most channels don't bother with.

    I’m not a mechanic and only do minor fixes to my vehicle, i.e., engine/cabin air filters, fuse replacements, wipers, etc., but you really are impressive in your ability, both to figure out what is wrong but to properly execute the correct repair and thoroughly explain your process. Having an honest, knowledgeable mechanic like you working on my vehicles would be a blessing. Terrific vid. Thanks.
