What actually happens to your car when you take it to the shop? I've been an auto repair shop owner since 2015 and I want to take you backstage of every day automotive repair jobs, problems, customer complaints, diagnostics, and the decisions we make in order to get customers back on the road safely and quickly. This channel is intended to educate you on the whole process of car repair from how we provide customer service to quality repair tips.
I started playing with my own cars as well as friends' around 2000-2001. I was hooked. I studied mechanical engineering and earned a Master's Degree in the subject. After working for 3 different corporations over 6 years, I decided to open a repair shop and get out of the corporate world. My shop is small, but we turn out work efficiently.
In 2022 I hooked up with a partner and we opened a collision shop. This happened during construction of my new shop. Both businesses now live next door to eachother and this is our every day work.

❤ thank you so much
Exact same problem, thanks for the video, saved me lots of time and likely a trip to the dealer.
13.1V is not a fully functioning charging system. You should know that.
It's amazing all the contradictory advice and the comment section.
hey dude, what you didn't explain was the size of the insert and the bolt size that you used to repair the stripped threads on the oil pan.
My Nissan leaks water from the passenger side Under the dashboard
Thanks for video it helps me out alot 🇺🇸🇺🇸
HELP!!! I also have same Taco '06 2.7L with amber Check engine light (P2433 code) Read out indicates the PCM detected an unexpected high voltage on the secondary air injection system pressure sensor circuit. I checked all the fuses...all ok. The trucks run great but since I live in NY.....still do emission testing here and I'm past the due date. I hate to go to a dealer to have them look at it. If I knew what to do, change the air pump...the Pressure sensor etc, I could get the part myself and change out the parts. Any advice, suggestions, anything to steer me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. BTW, the truck only has 40,000 miles on it..... not looking to get rid of it any time soon, but hate to pay a jillion bucks to fix the truck. Amen!
Excellent
2016 GMC Sierra 1500, rear window not working. After checking fuses I found your video, dug right in as you describe and DAMM, it worked! Disconnected the wires to the phone charger and the rear window works! This video and your knowledge is valuable. Saved money for me and many more people, Thank you so much!
My keep sayings rear driver after new wheel hub and abs cable and i can see any others possibility
I just did all four pads and rotors on my wife’s Honda odyssey. Did the break in process with the 4-5 aggressive stops, and a few moderate stops. Replaced the pad retainer clips, put brake grease where it was needed, also degreased the rotors before installing. They’ve been on the van for three days or so, and they’ve been grinding since being installed. Super irritated. What’s going on? Drilled and slotted rotors (odysseys like to warp solid rotors), and ceramic pads. They sound like they’re years old and need to be replaced after literally just replacing them.
Ur clips are rubbing
I did the rear rotors on my Mazda 3. The passenger rear is very hot to the touch and smells... Did I do something wrong?
Yes it happned to my truck, you need to make sure your calipers are not stuck, bleed your brakes a little bit then close it, make sure the fluid is flowing, you have a bad caliper or bad brake line, jack your car remove wheel press brake couple of times, then spin your tire with your hand, it should spin freely, if not your caliper is stucked
Thanks, this was one of the most helpful videos that I have viewed on UA-cam. My 2013 Rogue had water by the gas pedal. Your video showed me how to fix it. I never would have suspected the cabin air filter.
Hi I am curious on mine. It only works on the cold start then after it reach operating temperature it shuts off. Does that normal? Thanks.
My scanner said the battery was fine but the alternator was only putting out 11.79 volts. "Underperforming" it says.
Geesh. I live in the moat densely populated state in the country. Cars everywhere! Ill have to do this at 2am lol
A mechanic told me it costs like 300 dollars.
?
sorry how much does that bomb cost
Hey I got the same problem on my 2016 gmc and my bad I didn’t understand what you did exactly did you just re connect the wires?! And just plugged it back in ?
Drive up to 60mph and brake down to 20 mph. 4 times.
here comes the police mate....
Good video, thank you. on a side note, why is every break and rotor video a Ford F-150 lol
What's the best way do Breaking in your brake pads
I just had pads and rotors done on my 2014 jk and wheels do not turn by hand easily is this normal?
Yeah that’s good
Thank you for this! My truck had the check engine light one plus ABS light on. My stero and navigation would not come on. Bought a replacement on Amazon for 76.00 and took me 20 mins. The filter was gone and it had water in it. I saw results immediately. Good video keep it up!
I’d rather have a set turned that came on vehicle new than put a Chinese made piece of junk on that will warp after a few hard stops. Just my opinion.
Thank you for a great video
Audio is very bad because u had your window fown and it took you a while to get to the point
people that use tools to tighten oil filters really need to just ride a bicycle or something... I can get an oil filter tight enough barehanded even if you coated my hands and the outside of the filter in grease! 🤣
I just bought a 2010 Accord ex-l 2.4. During the test drive there was no check engine lights, of course Now there is, the owner stated it had the same gas in the tank for perhaps 6 months, could old/bad gas cause p0420? Thanks much.
Why can't my oil leak be as simple as this!! My oil filter housing gasket are leaking on my crv
Have started putting a camera on a shovel and sliding it up under the oil pan and filter while recording a video so I have before and after proof of the condition of the work area for these oil change butcher shops
This guys just trying to get us to snap our break pads just so we can take it back to his shop
How does that help him unless he is your mechanic if my brake pad snaps I would have to go to my mechanic which wouldn't help this guy one bit
It seems odd that none of the car makers recommend or require this and their pads last 100K miles. I've never done it in my professional career and never had a problem either.
30 years without bedding pads and no problem, i start doing it 5 years ago, after 4-6 months installed they develop brake judder at slow speeds . I also changed to ceramics from semi metallics . I thinking going back to my roots
Put thick grease on your drill bit and tap to catch the shavings
Exactly why NOBODY touches may car except for warranty work!
He's telling you good advice
You can go ten miles an hr . Those pads are designed to work and nothing bothers them if you do the break job right
Sorry bub but you will learn as you get older
Braking hard with new pads and rotors sounds pretty dumb to me. All brake ins must be done softly. Pads, engines does not matter.
Well, my rotors came with a sheet saying to go from 50 to 5 mph in a hard braking fashion 10 times in a row so i think it must just be you thats dumb
We just put a new complete set of Brembo brakes (w/drilled and slotted rotors) on a 350Z and thought it would be extra good to do this, now they stop great but now squeak Extremely loud when cold and moving slowly, like backing into the garage or parking, etc. We've had the car at the track under race condition and hasn't gotten better maybe worse. Thinking of doing a light sanding on the rotors? Ideas?
Racing brakes squeek. Get used to it especially at low speeds
Wasted my time
Did you get it fixed tho yet
This is probably the lowest energy video I’ve ever seen
I had question if its coolant leaking outside exactly where ac drain leaks under passenger .where would it be coming from .I got 09 g37x..appreciate any info u may have ..thanks bro
Would this cause the heat to act funny too?
Good video, useful info and straight to the point A+ * be great if all youtube mechanical vids were like this
What number fuse?
Ima try this real quick can’t get this van to run for more then 10 seconds cleaned up everything changed a fuse and it started but won’t stay running so maybe this might work I’ll let ppl know
Why is this not a requirement when purchasing a new vehicle or instructed to do so after picking up from a brake shop? Because it’s bullshit.
Simply because with a new vehicle, this process should be done at factory, and same with replacements, it is apart of the job for them to bed your brakes. U think they just give it to you without seeing if they work...? They have to drive it. U want to do the process, do your own work, but this process is required for longevity and performance. Both of which the non mechanically inclined wouldnt care about.
