    Still gettin used to the snow day repairs eh bud? Glad to see you're doing well and cant wait to see the big van back on the road! With what you said about your gloves, jeep a couple pairs on the dash when the heat is on. I swap my pairs out when my hands get cold to make sure i always have a warm pair. Thats life for me in Alaska being mobile.

    I added a kill switch to my battery on the groundwire so it prevents your battery from dying when it's coold outside or when you leave your car parked over a longer periode.And yes I have a jmpstarter as well in my car, saved me many times. I own a Suzuki Esteem/Baleno but I want to put American style tail lights, they are hard to find and when I find them on ebay they either don't ship to Europe or they are over the top expensive. My car is 21 years old,turning 22 in July.

    Been thinking about doing this as a side job for extra money as I have almost every too you could need with my main job however most places down south like Autozone will do free battery replacements how do you make money doing that? I under brakes paying well they are easy for the most part but thinking how can it be profitable on some jobs or is it about build a customer base? 🤔

    You kind of have to replace rotors when you do pads? I've never done that on my own vehicles... I guess I replace the pads before they wear into the metal... :)

    • @COBRO98
      @COBRO98 9 місяців тому +1

      Yes you have to either turn the rotors with a machine or replace them, replacing is the better option. I'm going to guess you haven't been lubing the guide pins with silicone either, your vehicle having the ability to stop is important, let someone that knows what they're doing handle it.

    • @EricksonEtc
      @EricksonEtc 9 місяців тому

      @@COBRO98 Badguess. I've done my own brakes plenty of times, I always lube the guide pins, and ensure the caliper is free. I've also never turned my own rotors, and I've never had vibration on braking or any other issues. Sure, if I had vibration or other issues, I would replace the rotors. Otherwise, seems a waste to me.

    I have a problem and was wondering if anyone can help, I have codes p0171-P0174-P1131-P1151. Have to hold brake and gas to keep the engine from sputtering off even at red lights. Rpm drops low and will shut off after shaking if it’s not given gas. 2001 Lincoln Navigator v8 rwd.

    Do you have a flat call out fee or does it change with different mileage jobs?

    • @RoadsideRescue
      @RoadsideRescue  Рік тому

      i do, a lot of times it gets added to the total. (But I could realy only start doing this once I was well established, since it raises the overal price.) If its a simple job i usualy forgoe the added "Call out fee" which grows the further I have to travel away.

      I'm actually quite the opposite. I'll choose a shorter video over a really long one. Most people don't have almost an hour to sit and watch one video. If they do, they probably have too much time on their hands.

    • @pfcparis

      With me it depends. I like long form video essays which can run in three multiple hours. I just keep them playing in the background. Videos like this require more attention. About 20 mins give it take ten is my average. Sometimes up to an hour.
