    So an opportunity popped up with a really good find, so I went and bought it for $500!!! This really shows you what you can do to find your first project car, find a budget suv, etc with minimal risk and a lot of potential reward!!! We used all common hand tools and did this job at home ourselves! Craftsman was bought by Stanley and now they have decent tools for the price! Worth taking a look at for sure! I messed with the 150 piece set for the first time and I liked it. It got the job done and I think you guys looking for your first set would find it to be a good starter set! Here is the link to the tool sets: bit.ly/2PNfHLS

    There is nothing more rewarding than being able to fix your own AND other vehicles. I found CF back in 2015 and got hooked. I began fixing up my car at the time (mk4 golf) and ended up enjoying it so much I went to tech school. Long story short, I am now a mechanic and I have been able to use every single trick in my career that I have learned from ChrisFix. To this day, whenever tackling a new problem, 9/10 times there is a tutorial I can learn from. I turn it on loud in the garage and go to work- It’s like he’s right there with me. Thanks Chris.

Instead of just saying the facts and showing what you did, you put a lot of effort into explaining WHY you do the things you do and furthermore, even show the thought process behind making these decisions, which can be applied to a wider range of objects and not just a few use cases. Showing people how to think. You're a frickin hero man, keep it up.

      Craftsman tools are nice - that would be hard to turn down. It's better to see basic tools being use though. The most important tool being an understanding of how air, fuel & spark is needed for starting the engine, and knowing simple tricks of the trade for mechanical and electrical fixes.

    One of my favorite Chris Fix videos. I liked seeing him tackle the diagnosis and then the repair. In this case he determine 2 electrical components were not working, this led him to check the fuses as that could effect two things at once. Found bad fuse. Replace. It’s starts. Then looking under, you can see an obvious bad muffler left unfixed caused the fuel tank and evaporate issues. Great logical fix here. Plus I have been a Craftsman tool fan for 30 years.

There are a lot of car guys and non-car guys who watch your channel and not all may know what every part of a car does. Maybe for a video series you go over parts of the car and explain what they do but focus on certain areas per video like one for the engine, one for trans, one for drivetrain, etc.

      Simple steps in really owning, your car is to take control over things. Watching videos of other people doing repairs/maintenance is the first sub-step to that. There's no rocket science in keeping your car upright, only dedication to the investment you made (at its most core value).

    Hello Chris, i have been watching your videos for many years now and i like every one of them. I have retired (in 2012) and moved from Chicago, Ill and i now live in Guatemala, C.A. I have a friend down here who loves working on cars and wants to study to be a mechanic so i recommended that he watch your youtube videos with the spanish translation! I am presently nearing 75 years of age and I myself have worked a lot on cars and i still love it as well, you have great videos and i especiallly love the great enthusiasm and love that you show when you work on cars, that is certainly something worth viewing! Thanks friend!

Our mechanic told us new one is worth more than 800 dollars, and use one is worth anywhere from 100-700 dollars. A week later they called a and told us that it also needed a new fuel filter besides the tank and the pump. My family had to pay $900 dollars. But on the way from the shop while he was at a stop about 15 mins from my house thank check engine came on. My dad told my mom it and my mom called the shop back and my dad took it back up 4 days later.

    I know a guy who deals with tons of car selling and buying. A lot of times people would try to sell cars that didn't run for 2-3k thinking they were going to get that. He taught me all about it and basically this guy here is spot on. If your car doesn't run for any reason and you are trying to sell it, its worth scrap value which is about 4-600$ and guys thats it. it doesn't matter if you had just installed new brakes and rotors or anything else. A car that doesn't run isn't worth anything. Now, if it runs but has issues they start at 1k in value and go up from there. If this Vehicle had started, then it would probably be worth 1200-2k.

      The biggest things you'll want to check is oil froth on the dipstick or oil cap like Chris mentioned, and the condition of the transmission fluid looking for a foul odor or dark brown color. Those are much more involved jobs, but you can do those as well if you have the patience. Checking to make sure the frame is straight and structurally sound and hasn't had repairs done is another that can save you a headache.

      On the other hand, the neighborhood in Rhode Island that I had a home in for a few years nobody would look at you twice working on your car, you may even get someone coming over to check out what you're doing and offer a hand. Granted, the neighborhood in Rhode Island was a bit more rural which likely has a big influence.

    Hi Chris, electrical speicalist here.
    Checking for blown fuses in this manner is dangerous. If an electrical problem with the car may have caused the fuses to blow, this electrical problem may still be present even with the keys turned to the off position.
    Checking like you are doing using the resistance setting on your multimeter is remaking the broken fuse, through your multimeter.
    If the short is still present, you will now be putting that short current through your meter which could break it.
    Furthermore, if you were testing a small amperage fuse in this manner, the multimeter may well be able to take more current than the fuse you are testing, causing an excess short current to flow through your vehicle.
    I recommend testing like this with the battery removed only, or better yet, just remove the fuses one by one for a visual inspecion, they make them see through for a reason!
