@@ZavHustles exactly. Go to a union. My local union pays 50+ an hour at journeyman. Which is after five years apprenticing. That’s about 90-105 grand a year depending because they raise the wages by like a dollar yearly and that’s not even including increased income due to experience. That’s just base.
@@jasonalas4746id say to at least get some experience from an academy first. Like right now im doing my red seal, its some learning but after that its 1 year apprentice then im qualified, so all together its about 28 months. Then im looking at about 43 an hour starting. Diving in the deep end and doing on the job learning is only going to demotivate you and itll feel like youre not getting anywhere. So from experience id say do a course first to learn the basics. Itll help a lot!!
lol very true, cant believe anything on the internet. but think about too, starting techs start at a low salary. Then buying tools cost a lot of money as well. Cost of living, tools, bills, etc. have to be willing to learn about every car to start making good money
lol I wonder honestly where he’s getting that number from I know some technicians making around 100k+ a year just depends where ur at and how long you been doing it, I’m a kinda lower technician I don’t do engine swaps or shit like that but I make around 35k a year that’s hourly pay and commission, if you count tips it’s prob a good bit more lmao.
everyone has their own time changing oil but i always recommend changing every 5k miles. Depending how you drive. Drive normal, 5k miles, drive like a dick head lol at least every 3k-4k miles
The reason why most people critique is to feel better about themselves. I do it so if people watch to learn how to do something on their own they don’t get incorrect info and damage their car and not know it. I’m sure if there was how to be a pharmacist videos your friend wouldn’t stay quiet because it could would cause harm (it’s just an example). So here you go: 1. Really like how you said put the tire under cuz you never know when a jack stand will break with your head under the pinch weld. Why do you keep putting the jack stand there? 2. Did you spray brake clean on the rotors? I know it’s like the easiest thing but you’re teaching a new guy and he’s not going to know they coat them in oil to prevent oxidation while on the shelf. If you didn’t I hope he didn’t freak out too bad when he saw the smoke the first time he drove it. Plus you’re if someone thinks you showed everything and they use it to learn they’ll skip it. 3. Why don’t you ever give hit to the back of the rotor? 4. That’s not how hot spots occur. 5. You mean to tell me you have a whole van of tools and detailing equipment plus work at a shop but you’re using channel locks to retract pistons. I’m not even gonna talk about the back cuz Jesus. You really never bought a $15 tool to retract the pistons? You can’t even by a clamp and use the old pad? Channel locks? How are you going to teach someone brakes and you used channel locks to retract the pistons. That’s why people like me comment. You think you’re good enough to teach someone to DIY and then do that. That’s crazy man. But go back with your buddy and talk in a funny voices about how someone said you used the wrong tool. I hope as you move to bigger jobs you don’t underestimate the importance of importance of procedures and using the correct tools because mistakes only get harder to fix.
You complain about it in a few more videos forward. I’m going in reverse because you got dragged in my algorithm on your second newest video and now I can’t stop cringe watching.
I’m not trying to do every video but you talk about speed on brakes and don’t even use a wire brush there but keep using a spray cleaner and brush on non stained black seats? You just have to get the oil out of the pores for the conditioner to soak in. If you really want to use a spray then spray and wipe, but buy a cleaner and conditioner combo it’s made for non stained seats. You’re just wasting yours and the customers time like you are with the carpet too. 60% of stains come out with dry cleaning. You’re adding all that water on another black non stained surface. Then you leave all the chemicals behind to dry. The left over cleaner just cleans everything the wipes across it after making it a stain absorbing carpet. Can you also look up how to use an extractor your holding the water trigger when going both directions when you only do it coming backwards because it not only sprays water and then the vacuum follows but it raises the carpet follicles actually allowing it to let stains come up whe you go forward with the vacuum you pushing them down so it’s making you work twice as long to get stains out.
What does never hang your brake caliper by the brake mean? Get a bungee cord. You can hit the back of the rotor too. Why do you never show the pad and hardware change?
If you actually get views one day then the customers will watch what you did on their cars. So if you’re going to talk about speed then make sure you show all the steps being done so they can’t say you cut corners. (Clean mating surfaces, lube slide pins, remove corrosion from hardware seats, and replace hardware)
Seriously, whoever taught you how to place jack stand does not like you and is not your friend. Everyone I see there’s no way you could place it there without climbing under the car. You’re gonna get crushed one day. If you’re gonna pay for liqui Molly why wouldn’t you use 0W30? It can take 5w if the spec is met but it even say 0W under the hood and it’s better for the engine and gas mileage.
So you didn’t think to call the customer and tell them the brakes and rotors seem fine. Do mind me taking it on a test drive and then diagnosing the noise because I don’t think it’s the brakes. It will cost this x instead of z and then I’ll take the diagnostic off the job when I figure out what the noise is? You didn’t even lubebthe slide pins which is way more important than what you did. Last, did you really crawl under the car to place the jack stand there? Might as well not even use one of you gotta risk getting crushed to set it up. I mean this with all due respect you need to go learn some more before you keep accepting jobs. You’ll end up with a bad reputation or hurt before you can establish a customer base. You can take this how you want. But it’s just me watching this randomly so I’m not showing off for the comment section. I’m seriously trying to help you out.
I remember working as a Mazda tech and picking up the “customer complaints: scraping noise coming from front;check pads and recommend rotors”, just to find a chunky pad and clean rotor 😗 then I’d just bounce it to the sr tech because lubies “can’t diagnose issues”
Yes i did. It’s really hard to not crease it. If you do, some times getting a hot damp towel on the crease can help. Most of the time with sedans. There’s no way of taking it out without bending it somewhere
yoo when i use the drill brush head on my seats the drill brush lierally destroys the fabric and starts cutting holes in it... every vid i see ppl putting pressure on it and the seat not getting damaged why is mine getting damaged when i use the drill brush to lather the soap
If the seats are super old, drilling it can cause damage. You’ll have to use a soft to medium brush on cloth. Make sure you’re not using any hard brushes on it
You shouldn’t even use an extractor on new fabric seats. The fabric is thin as you can all probably tell. You’re just spraying water and chemicals into the foam. Then when someone sits on it all the boron and dirt mixed with water comes up and stains the seat worse. Boron is the flame retardant in the foam. Do this on light color seats and you start seeing brownish stain appear as you are cleaning? That’s the boron.
we had only misfire codes. you were able to smell gas by the intake manifold and the fuel rail and injectors are under the intake manifold. Whats your issue, maybe i can help you out
@@autogeeks984 oh okay thanks and the car randomly started feeling shaky and lil misfiring and it shot a code of p0266 I google it and it is saying something to do with the injectors i got a 3.8 with 20k miles with headers and full exhaust no tune
@@fuentesoscar88 scan the car and check which cylinders are misfiring. lets for example cylinder 1 is misfiring. swap the spark plug from cyl 1 to cyl 2. clear codes and see if the code travels to 2. if it does then your spark plug is bad. if not, do the swap with the ignition coil. if its neither then you have to check other stuff but start with that then lmk.
@@autogeeks984 is that the p0300 code? I'm getting p0300, p0301, p0303, p0305 at the moment. So pretty much just the passenger side cylinders are misfiring. I swapped out spark plugs and ignition coils and just ordered fuel injectors.
@@albertlee6261 dont remember the code honeslty but if you spark plugs and coils and its not starting, could be a fuel issue. if you use starting fluid, and the car starts. u have a fuel issue. make sure you have fuel pressue. any more questions lmk
Damn I can't believe I spent 2960 for the dealership to do this 😭 even the parts when I wanted to replace all 6 (even though I shouldn't have) should have cost about 1400ish but they told me 2110 ugh I'm so annoyed but thank yoy for this video gonna do it myself from now on seeing as me not knowing was my only reason for not doing this, thank you guys so much!
Easy on driver side. Annoying on passenger side because you have to pull the intake manifold like in this video, just the top portion of it though, you don't need to pull the bottom portion like they did here
My 2013 rpsec is getting up there in miles and i noticed a hesitation from about 3000rpm - 5000rpm. No check engine lights are on. I already replaced plugs. I also had the carbon cleaned out. I'm wondering if i need to replace injectors and coil packs? I guess it wouldn't hurt. Thanks for the video. Also, does carbon build up on those injectors or no?
we got the injectors OEM from hyundia parts website. you dont have to replace the coil packs unless they are failing. What i do is swap coil to another cylinder and if the code travels then it could be a coil. and there wasnt any carbon build up on these injectors
Thanks for the video! Im getting a multiple misfire at cold start. Running way too rich. I believe my injectors might be fucked. Gonna attempt this myself. What grease did you use? Also do you have a link to buy the injectors?
@@josevaladez100 we got the injectors from hyundia parts online. not cheap lol. and just make sure you lube the seal before putting it in. if not the seal will rip. thats what was wrong with ours. any grease should work even WD40. JUST A LITTLE you are only putting grease to make sure in goes in properly
sorry for the later response, any grease or lube works. you really only using some type of lube to put in the injector properly. if going in dry, seal on the injector will rip. just like ours did
