A lot of mechanics would have just replaced the head gasket then told her she also needed to replace the radiator. You seem like a genuinely good and kind person
I've been a mechanic almost 50 years. It's nice to see an honest one who knows what he's doing. There's a lot of idiots out there who wouldn't know a bad head gasket from a leaking water pump. Nice job.
I have as well. Own shop for 40 years. I was the only transmission specialist that only had a 21' boat. All the rest had 30 up. Hmm. But I slept at night
WOW, top bloke. A lot of mechanics would have charged her for a head gasket and then put some radiator stop leak in it. Especially female clients. It's so good to see in this day an age good honest work ethics.
You sir are indeed a rare person walking this planet, super easy, didn't charge for the call out, labor rates incredibly reasonable, sir i salute you. Thankyou for your post.
@@randomstuff797 and yet I've never heard of you.....that's not to insult you in any way......but, get your name and business out there and promote your good self.....all this stuff is good for you and all that you help along the way......thankyou for your post.
Gave my daughter a 4 runner that started using coolant. Mechanic said it was a cracked head. I started checking and found An oil cooler on passenger side of motor that only needed a gasket! Saved 6500 he had quoted!
That's the sort of Guy you can trust. You don't often find a man like that and I've been driving for more than 60 years. I would love to have his phone number. BIG PROBLEM.... I LIVE IN A PLACE WE USED TO CALL GREAT BRITAIN . Keep up your good work it's great to see an honest Car Mechanic so so rare these days. Colin.
I challenge everyone to call a dealership and say they have a 2014 Jetta that needs a radiator replaced and see what the price would be. Also, if you had them diagnose the issue, you’d get charged for that and half the time you’ll get a misdiagnosis. This guy is out here really helping people. I will like and share everything he puts out.
I retired and spend my days doing handyman work helping old people. Many would not do the work as they don't have the money. If they have the means I charge $25/hr. No travel time and I round down most days. Keeps me busy and I love helping people. This man will be blessed for using his skills to help people.
this guy is refreshing to say the least . keep being honest and your reputation will guarantee more work than you can handle u til you retire . i worked as a carpenter and remodeler for decades at very wealthy peoples houses on bainbridge inland wash. during a conversation with one of my clients , she told me the reason she and her friends continued to hire me for years was because they trusted me 100 % . your reputation is everything .
I appreciate you taking the time to talk to her about the process and what you were looking for. She seemed she was genuinely curious and wanted to know what was going on, and if anything just to have a little more knowledge for the future. Some people wouldn't have given her the time of day.
Ay I drove a Jetta for 8 years and I am a handsome young man, not a cute young girl 😂😂😂😂. Bought that car for my 18th birthday and paid it off all my self. What a feeling when you finally get that title.
Woo no big teardowns. A customer of ours had us install a leather kit and door lock actuators on a 99 F250 7.3 Powerstroke. We got it done and ready to pickup, when the fuse that supplies power to the pedal popped. The potentiometer had shorted out. Took me a hour or so with a scan tool and the customer running around looking for the part that went bad. We did not charge him for that diagnosis or to put the parts on.
Great to watch this especially as I got royally screwed yesterday by an A/C technician. In the long run, this great guy will get repeat and loyal customers because he isn’t out to screw everyone. Especially those who aren’t mechanically savvy . Thank you .
Honesty and a good attitude, That's exactly how you get a lot of repeat customers and build a good reputation as a mechanic. That's hard to find these days in any repair business. Most will screw you over any way they can. Just like the scammer that said she needed a head gasket.
This is good to see. A mechanic being honest and not trying to rip this woman's head off and get rich. This is how I treat my customers. Be honest and the referrals come in.
So glad to see there are still honest mechanics out there. About 10 years ago my grandparents had their mechanic come check my 97’ Cavalier for a leak. Turned out it needed a radiator. He charged them $50 for the visit and $600 for the job that took him about 45 minutes. The radiator was only $64. After that I swore off calling mechanics and did a lot of learning and online mechanic classes so I could work on all of our cars and do side work. It’s the honesty that keeps people coming back, and it’s not hard to be fair and not scam people.
You totally did her a solid! I think you should charge at least something for diagnosing it. You deserve it, it would still be a screaming deal for her, and ensures it's worth your time and makes this sustainable for you, so you can continue helping people like this!
This guy is as Honest as the day is long and he’s ALWAYS personable with people. He’s a rare one!!! I applaud him. I wish more people acted like he does. GOOD ON YOU BROTHER!👍
Way to do honest work. That will keep your business strong and consistent!

Also, This guy is super nice, I know he doesn’t have the expenses or overhead that a dealership has, but a dealership where I live, charges minimum $175 plus tax just to diagnose this problem, will obviously only use/buy OEM parts and then labor again to re and re this radiator……..end cost being around $750 and up vs this guy literally charging a $100 bucks for all his time, knowledge and travel expenses…..she doesn’t know how lucky she is here.
He said it’s easy maybe 45 minutes labor so a honest price and he just gave a flat rate to some guys do the work then surprise you with the bill later taking forever to do the job
He is out of his mind. Wait til he sees what work is necessary for a radiator replacement on that model. Plus, I tend to doubt the radiator even leaks, the 1.8T is notorious for failed thermostat or oil filter stand gasket which is right where he was pointing to.
Keep this guy!! I had a place"mistakenly" not connect a coolant line to another part they replaced. Leaked coolant badly for 2 weeks. They refused to admit that's what it was AFTER I took it back and they fixed their mistake. They tried to tell me it was a head gasket issue. 2nd opinion (and the fact it stopped leaking after they connected the hose) showed there was no head gasket issue. Always get a 2nd opinion!
@@CraftyRoseDentalinstructor. if we had more of this, life would t be so expensive. People love to complain about groceries and gas, but when HVAC services, plumbers, and mechanics are putting people into debt on the daily and fattening up their corporate overlords, that’s what’s really holding the working class down. You can scrimp and save to cover another $20 per month in gas, but you can’t save your way to a $2k repair that needs to happen right now.
You just pull this off and it comes right out lol I spent 3 hours trying to get my radiator and fans back in , bottom hoses top hoses 25 bolts and 6 lacerations
I've been a mechanic for 40 yrs now mostly do front end alignments and suspension work. I always bring people out to the car and educate them on what is going on.
Love your content man. You’re doing great views. Little longer videos I really think your view count would be super high. Your deff have a good opportunity not just with your business here! Keep up the good work man!
nice to see there's honest mechanics still around... about the only other thing I figure he should probably have suggested is replacing the hoses along with the radiator...
Nothing wrong with saying that a woman is pretty. Tell my wife that she is all the time. Beauty is no accident. If a woman takes care of herself and has a positive outlook on life then she deserves the compliment.
This guy is Honorable. That's a trait that is rare today. Usually though when you change a radiator out, you should change the hoses and install all new coolant. He may have estimated a bit low. It's all good however.
Man $75, idk how is that profitable? U have to drive out there 2 times. Thats mindblowing to me. I would think $150 for the labor and diag minimum but hey you clearly know whT ur doing.
He is just not trying to be greedy. So he cut people good deals to make they life better. With his good deals, as we know, he is better than dealerships prices and that gain him a lot of customers on top of that he geninue and honest know his work. Sure, one day, he will up his prices a little more. Or good people will tip him.
3.5 hours labor to R&R a radiator on it. I get you try to help people out but your cutting your own throat working for $21 an hour for 2 trips no diag charge.
Dude, I can do a radiator out and back in it about an hour. That'd on Audi A4 and Jettas, It's not the hard once you've done a few and know a few tricks and have the right tools.
I had the exact problem. I took the car to AAMCO . They said the same thing , head gasket! Yeah Radiator! With very limited funds I was just as e lated!! Finding an honest mechanic is priceless. Subscribing.
Someone saw VW and assumed headgasket because Jetta and Golf are notorious for headgasket issues. Good on you for taking the time to troubleshoot properly and save her lots of money.
Hope the hottie gen Z girl will be getting daddy to pay for her car repairs. Wooohooo. Rock on Hopester!!! We need to see the follow up to this repair for sure.
@@HhhGggg-rz7bu Dude she could be into him easily without him being into her. Don't get all triggered by our comments. Hopester is a hottie with a daddy 👨 and she might be looking at Parker.
@@HeroesFail Dude a woman can be into someone WITHOUT him having the same feelings back. Wow. Nobody said he was into her. Read carefully before you reply.
A lot of mechanics would have just replaced the head gasket then told her she also needed to replace the radiator. You seem like a genuinely good and kind person
I would think crooked ones would quote/charge for a head gasket job, replace the radiator, and skate away with the money.
@@drucifer83314 yall are cute thinking they would do any work or fix any issues
Dude you’d get shitcanned at the dealership for some shit like that you do your comebacks for free well at least the dealership I work at.
Not really. Most mechanics gonna verify the problem not just do what someone said another mechanic said...
No they wouldn’t have. If they did, how the hell can you call them a mechanic.
The world needs more mechanics like you.
People in general.
💯%!
Sure would make life less of a scam.
Yes,… true,… but,… he does need to stay in business. This is after all his livelihood .
This is exactly how my dad is but sadly most ppl just take advantage of genuinely good ppl
I've been a mechanic almost 50 years. It's nice to see an honest one who knows what he's doing. There's a lot of idiots out there who wouldn't know a bad head gasket from a leaking water pump. Nice job.

Same here but I finally gave up and got a desk job easier on the mind@@Michael-k2x5g
Why do people have to be call idiots if they know nothing about cars?
@@bosspranks8349I think he means the mechanics that misdiagnose the issue
This excellent mechanic proves that there are still honest good people who do a great job and don’t overcharge customers.

Aww she was so sweet. Glad there are good mechanics like you around to be honest with people.

Hard to see a cracked head without removing it, unless it's badly cracked on the outside.
6500 god damn!
Damn you just saved her a ton of money
