Ace-Garageguy Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) As I often lament, the web is full of and seems to breed incompetent people doing work wrong and telling noobs and the mechanically clueless how to bodge their cars, often unsafely. THIS GUY, on the other hand, is smart, articulate, diagnoses things correctly, and thinks through repairs. Anybody can learn a thing or two from him. Even ol' know-it-all me. In this episode, he shows how to fix a car that could no longer be operated legally otherwise, as the correct ORIGINAL repair part IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. AND NOTE: Prior to this vehicle being repaired correctly and inexpensively here, it had been in TWO other shops where it was diagnosed WRONG in the typical readout-whatever-the-onboard-computer-says, then-throw-parts-at-it-and-pray method that's favored by the vast majority of "professional automotive technicians" out there today.

restoman Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nice to see a guy who uses his head for more than a place to rest his hat. If he didn't already have them as regular customers, he does now, with nothing more than an honest effort and a concern for his client's well being. That goes a long way nowadays. For a 14 year old Suzy in the rust belt of New York, the underside looks pretty clean. They need to refill the Tork dispenser... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
