Your favorite mechanic,

You are the most honest shop I ever seen. No one would ever admit to a customer they made a mistake. I live in Jackson tn I’m thinking about driving my 2012 impala Ltz to your shop for timing chains 3.6vvt. Absolutely NO issues just thinking about having timing chains done at your shop. Has 80000 thousand miles no check engine lights nothing. Drop it off come back pick it up. I have trust issues with shops around my way. Great video thx.PS I change the oil myself every 3000 miles with valoline synthetic.
Do it, it’s worth it when you know it’ll be done right
Same I live in Nashville tn and shops here just don’t do good work that why I do my own lil things to my car but when I do have a big problem I’m for sure taking mine there
Oh shoot, thats the notorious VVT 3.6 with timing chain problems. Yes have them replaced with the updated parts. I think there might be a recall on that VVT
Bought a drum of herbicide. Removed the cap. The seal was intact....noticed a small hole....yes that's right someone bought it siphoned it returned it.
This would make couple thousand gallons of spray when watered down...mixed.
Just imagine how maddening that would have been
There are chanchers out there.
I will deff look at parts now after this.
Alex is a honest fellow to put that on video and broadcast it
Unless
Na....lol
Been watching your videos Alex. A car dealer from Canada. Good to see there are still honest working mechanics. Keep it up my man. Maybe I'll pass by Georgia sometime and come say hi. I love nice and humble people. Keep up the good work
Please stop by and see us if you pass through! We’d love that!
You should do a video series restoring that wrecker.
I plan to buddie!
Jeez look at the big beautiful family in the beginning, hope you had fun and enjoyed it. I miss the warm weather
I’ve been working on my 2014 jeep Wrangler sport for five months, troubleshooting all the issues that had I finally got it to a point where it runs drives and steers just how I need it to far better than when I first bought the vehicle. I had to replace the entire front and suspension.
I got to come to bring my srt8 to you from Florida...She needs your love...
Old fat Dutchman says you are the best! Keep up the excellent and honest work. 😊❤
Decades ago I could run Autolite in my hotrod 440 and they worked well. Champions fouled easily if it flooded when starting.
I used to get customers who'd get so irritated when their car wouldnt "act up" for me. Then i had mgt. Just wanting me to guess, put a part on and send it on its way. Uh uh, not my style. And yeah, Autolites are the bottom of the barrel, when i moonlighted with oreilly autoparts, autolites were always the cheapest on the screen. Its likely too late Alex, but some of these late models (especially GMs) , you can pull a majority of the dash assembled and put it on the seats to allow access to the heater box. You can skip past the book time in just a couple of hours...sometimes. good video Alex, keep it up!
I had a ford tempo. It would always run hot. I took it to the shop. They told me it was the thermostat. I got it replaced a few times. The temperature would stay down, but it would go back up in a few months.
Luckily that fuel pump didn't arc out starting a fire or worse an explosion💥💥great catch again. That's called paying attention to details. It would have been overlooked by a newbie mechanic or a rushed mechanic.
Do not use champion spark plugs in a Ford ranger. I found that out the hard way. Went back to motorcraft run like a champ.
Excellent video autolite plugs work you just how to buy the rite ones
What a busy shop great to see you back…👍👍
love it love it obsess
Glad you were able to get that family time in!
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Happened to me with rockauto. Was sent the box with a part that wasn't matching up.
At how many miles do you recommend changing oil in the 3.6? Told family member every 5k and to use the same oil every time. He has already experienced the lifter, rocker, camshaft issue! Thanks for the great videos.
Spark plug n boots need to be original there expensive but I’ll save gas long run
Oh wow, you guys are 45 mins north of me. I had no idea.
Hey Doc. I have a question can you possibly tell me why my fuel hand doesn't work. Car runs fine fuel pump been replaced but fuel hand still doesn't read. 2000 park ave not supercharged.
Hiiii.
I have 2020 kia niro hybrid needed your option on my car. While I break or come to slow stop the car just goes off on its own and makes a Loud noise. Like the car just zipps off I'm sacred driving it with my baby
Hey Mr doctor, my wife has a 08 Altima that jerks when accelerating and also when coming to a slow stop. Could this be caused by sparks too or does that sound more like a transmission issue?
Sounds like transmission if the check engine light is not flashing meaning there is a misfire
Did you congratulate your Pontiac customer on killing a Buick 3800? Not an easy task...😅
