$3,000 for new CV shafts?!? CAR WIZARD saves customer serious $$$ on this '93 Porsche 993 Carrera 

Car is 1995. 993.

I am a retired mechanic and glad to see you don't rip people

I used to do tons of those on VW Golfs in Germany. Also it’s a lot of fun when you have the CV joint rebuilt and put on the shaft and realize the cv boot is still in the box. 😬😳

back in 1990 replaced a Porsche CV Joint that was clicking. It was about $65 or $130 (not sure now). that was for a 944 Turbo. Easy to change, the Axle shaft had a VW-Audi stamp on it..........so today say $500 parts (4 CV joints) and labor, that seems within reason

I’m late to the comment section, but

A girl got in my 911 and said, "nice Volkswagon" and I thanked her for the compliment. 31 years later, we're still together.

Mizz Wizz never misses an opportunity to teach! It's in her DNA.

Pulling a Clarkson there with that Beetle comment. Haha!

Dear Car Wizard you are a sincere and honest auto -technician! Greetings from Pretoria South Africa.

I rebuilt several shafts in the old days. From my recollection, it was Toyota that started the idea of not selling rebuild kits and only selling complete shafts when the boots died. I remember getting in an 81 AMC Eagle and 81 Toyota Camry with torn boots. With the AMC it was $14 for boot kits for both front axles. No one made boot kits for the Toyota and we had to replace both shafts at $225 for both sides, The owner of the Toyota was not a happy camper. He called Toyota and they told him they had seen too much problems with people replacing the boots improperly and then having the CV joints fail completely. This was probably due to fact that too many shade tree mechanics not taking the time to properly evaluate the joints, clean them, and grease them properly before installing the boots.

If you don't have a local wizard, you can ship your Porsche's CV shafts to CV of Ocala for a rebuild.

Over here in Belgium, when the boots (or a boot is) are torn , you won’t pass annual inspection.

the wizard is a godsend, an example of what all shops should strive for

The drivers front axel on my daughters Honda Fit broke, a new one was $68.00 and a hour of work. That was last year, this year a recall for the same problem

They look very similar to VW drive shafts. Very easy to rebuild. Great design from a mechanics viewpoint. Cheers Wizard

Nice one wizard. This is what I like, oily bits and pieces and a description of the repair😀

Wizzard you are the kind of mechanic that most owners want, most mechanics now day doesnt want to rebuild parts even if its cheapper

Wish there was more mechanics like the wizard. Honesty is a big thing for me when getting my vehicle repaired. Keep up the great work.✌🏼

I know what you mean about the parts.I recently replaced the lower suspension arms on my car. One of the bushes on either side was starting to fail so I bought both arms. the cost to me was just under 100 Pounds UK inc delivery. and I made sure I had the parts in my posession before going to my shop to have them fitted. I also means The labour charge was a whole lot less than just replacing the worn bushes and I have a brand new bottom arm swivel joint as well. You give very good and fair advice to your customers. I certainly use you. Many thanks.

When I change my oil in my car I always spray the CV boots with silicone spray I've got over 260,000 miles on my 2001 Chevy Cavalier with the original Factory axles
