10 Habits of Successful Technicians; Podcast Episode 23 

The guy who taught me drilled into my brain to pay attention to detail and keep a clean and organised work area. These two pieces of advise have served me well over the years. Also on the note of looking jobs up, I would often ask my service adviser what jobs we have coming in the next day and then if anything sounds intimidating I would look it up that evening and watch videos or rear a step by step guid. Even as a pro for 15 years I still do this from time to time!

#1's right on the money. Not just show up on time.... Show up a bit early & have your tool boxes open & your coffee cup full & ready to actually start working at 8:00am.....

Always stay approachable and friendly. People need to feel they can talk to you and that you care!

Leave work at work. Don't let the frustrations at work follow you home. Love the videos man.

I know one of the biggest things at my shop is helping each other. We're an independent shop that deals with a variety of vehicles. For instance, a lube tech is working on a Mercedes and goes to rotate tires, just to realize when he takes that last bolt off that he has a sore foot. However, in my shop, if we get a new guy in that doesn't have that understanding, we take the time to explain things to him. It helps to make him more efficient and safe. Safety is key, when working in the conditions of a shop. You're lifting 4000 lbs on average between 3 - 7 feet off the ground. That can turn from a normal day at the shop to death. So taking the time to double check your lift points, ensure vehicle stability by shaking the vehicle once the tires leave the ground, is imperative. So my list to be successful as a tech are: 1. Efficiency. You want to work effectively, you don't want to have to move from your car, walk across the shop to your box, and find your tool three times. Take everything with you. If you know that you use that tool often while doing a related job, then take it. Better safe than sorry. 2. Quality. You have to make a quality repair, when it comes to customers... They will knit-pick to find anything that can get them free stuff. They're always shopping for the best value. So don't make your laziness an issue because then you'll be buying TPMS sensors, lug bolts, or engines if you're not careful. 3. Understanding the Customer. Listen to what the customer wants. If they want brakes, offer a free inspection and decide after you inspect the brakes to decide whether they need done. Some people will come back to you for life if you're honest with them. You might lose at that point, but you'll make a customer for life... and that's invaluable. 4. Proper tool for the job. Don't use a 3/8 for tires, it'll end badly. If you use the wrong tool for the job, you're a lot more likely to destroy things. Using a 3/8 on lugnuts, yeah, it might work, but your impact is taking a beating that it wasn't designed to handle. It has to work a lot harder to take off nuts. Use the right tool, don't use combo wrench 12 points to take off bleeders, you're going to have a bad day when you round that nut, or break it off. 5. Organization. If you have to spend 30 seconds to a minute to find that wrench that you had yesterday. Then you're going to waste time. If you change the oil in 10 cars, that's 5 to 10 minutes of wasted time. This ties into efficiency. 6. Routine. IF you make a routine every single time you do a service. Then you're a lot less likely to mess up, because you'll feel like you forgot something and go and recheck yourself. Guess what, you did forget to tighten the oil filter, so you saved yourself 1000s of dollars and possibly your job. It's SUPER important to stay disciplined on yourself when it comes to routines. 7. Never Assume. Don't assume that because another shop did the inspection and stated that these specific things were wrong with the vehicle are actually wrong. Go back and take the time to inspect it. You may save yourself and your customer a lot of trouble by checking other people's work. Which will almost guarantee that the customer will bring his car back to you when he has an issue. It's a job security and pride of work thing. 8. Listen. For God's sake, there's nothing more important... If you don't listen to a successful technician who is master certified, then you're going to mess up. They were where you are, they made mistakes, and if they like you enough to throw hints. Take them, don't get insulted. Or else they'll laugh when you have to go back and fix what you broke. 9. Be respectful, older technicians can make your life a living hell because they'll give you all the bitch work. They have seniority, so they get dibs. Remember that, if you cater to the kings, then you're a king yourself.

One tip for young techs that don't have a lot of specialty tools. When I first started flagging my own hours and I needed a special tool that my coworker had, I made a note on a pad in my toolbox. Every time I went and borrowed it, I would put a hash mark next to the name of that tool. When I got to 5 hash marks on any tool on that list and my total tool truck bill was low enough, I would buy that tool. This is good way to both know what tools you need most often, and to slowly build a tool set that suits the type of jobs you do. It'll be cheaper in the long run to buy only the tools you use and need, verses buying complete sets, like socket sets, and half the sockets never get used because your manufacturer (Mine is Toyota) doesn't use a specific size bolt. IE: Toyota doesn't use 11, 13, 15, 18....ect, but they come in socket sets with the ones Toyota uses. I hand picked the sockets I knew I was going to use and saved money. Also, don't rack your tool truck bill with toys and gimmicks. A good tool purchase is one where the tool will pay for itself relatively quickly. Toys don't pay for themselves.

It's interesting; I searched "being a good technician" and found this - I'm a cell phone/electronics technician rather than a mechanic, but all of this overlaps perfectly. One more tip to share, then - if you accept work you aren't sure of because you're trying to be nice, things WILL go wrong - it's Murphy's Law

Too bad this doesn't have more views. Lots of techs could benefit from this.

your videos have helped me so much I am a new tech and have been on the job for 6 months and I have watched almost all your videos keep the channel going the more I watch the more I learn

Stay organized! I'm already organizationaly-challenged, and a heavy day of several big jobs and lots of cars turns my toolcart into a toolpile! Taking 10 min. to pause and put sockets back on the rails, tools in thier drawers, clear trash, take a drink of the ever-present rockstar and putaway the specialty tools I'm done with makes a HUGE difference! I also have another basic cart with dividers on top I use to put fasteners and the like in in the order they came off. Things go back together MUCH smoother when I don't have to guess where forgotten bolt #27 went!

Being on time, and just being at your bay helps other techs so much. When we are balancing three different things having that guy at his bay to take that extra job that comes in really helps.

This list is pretty spot on. I'm a 11year veteran of BMW dealerships, did the whole tech school then BMW "school", been a team leader but now at a different dealer (lost seniority) and have been working at dealers since and these are all good points, even the bring breakfast if your late. I made the guys on my team do the same thing and if they're hurting for money or trying to save money they get sick, really quickly, of spending $30-$40 bucks on 10 guys everyday. I've also noticed the older I get the more I fall onto repair instructions when it comes to doing a job I've never done before. I used to jump right in and figure it out as I go but the game is changing and its quickly becoming more efficient to know what's ahead of you before hand rather than bumping and feeling your through the job. Enjoy the videos, keep it em coming.

While I've never been shamed by a blown fuse, I did have a similar experience that'll stick with me for eternity. I had a trailer light controller issue one day. The blinker would flash quickly and then stop. My first instinct was to check the fuses. Only one fuse for this system, a 30amp fuse in the engine room box. Found it, removed it, and reinstalled it where I got it from (it wasn't blown). Did all my checks from controller to the trailer light plug at the rear bumper. All circuits tested ok (no high resistances). I start getting frustrated and my coworker comes over. Says to go back and check everything. I pull the fuse out and show him it's good, and he says, "Wait, where'd you pull that from?" It was then I realized it was in the wrong spot. lol. Was supposed to be in the spot next to it. Put it in the right slot and everything worked. I had worked on that for at least 3 hours.

With a dealership, there is the advantage of getting to know a limited number of cars in fine detail along with added knowledge and oem training, provided.However that is a situation that is unlikely for a good many techies and a broad general expertise base is probably more essential.The tips advised in this video are fundamental to the smooth running of most good workshops.

I really appreciated your tip on listen to your customers. Because as a customer I took my relatively new Jeep Patriot back to the dealership to have the front end looked at because I could constantly hear a noise that sounded like the ball joint was bad every time I moved from a cold start. Now I understand that metal expands and contracts with the temperature and it could just be that. But when I went to the dealership to have them inspect everything they said that they would look at it, let it sit for a hour or so before driving it, etc. The notes from the tech stated that despite what I was hearing they could not duplicate the problem, and the whole experience just put me at ease, in the sense that the 28K I just spent on my used car that is only a year old was not a complete waste of money.

Dude awesome video! As an engineer working in an office designing buildings I use all ten of your top 10 daily. I also teach the same things to the greenhorns. These skills and mindsets you talked about are transferable across a multitude of professional disciplines. Good stuff. New subscriber right here!

Yes, I over think a problem. Always start with the basics and move on and the manority of the time you will SAVE TIME.

Squeak & rattle repairs can be the worst.... Get the customer to show you the noise. I get in a car searching for a "squeak"... I hear 17 different squeaks.... If I spend 2 hour & fix the wrong squeak.....

Being early is being on time. Being right on time is being late. Being late is unacceptable.

organization truly will be your best friend when it comes to flat rate. awesome video thanks!!

its a good tip as you mentioned to have a routine for certain stuff, not only will you get quicker but you also wont easily forget something.

most of the logic behind all the success tips that you were explaining can apply to almost all service industries there are. particularly PC Repair Shop businesses and alike. Thanks for spreading the good thoughts!

One sentence has gotten me through everything so far “It won’t get fixed looking at it”

Mr. Humble mechanic I liked point number 9 don't be scared. As for a person that's new to the automatic world, and is interested in the field. That point really made me understand more. the dedication that goes in the field.

maybe one more- Stay organized. Tools, troubleshooting, working a job. Taking the time to organize saves time in the long run

Thank you for the videos.

if your late you bring doughnuts, and if you have to be there at 7, you should be READY to WORK at 7

I just started working at my first dealership which is a Ford Dealership and it's so much and so hard to make any money I make like $300 a week... but watching these videos is really helping me for sure! Thank you so much Dude I'm 18 and I'm so grateful to have this advice than be lost... but a big thing I do is I multi point inspections and every time there's a induction service or a BG flush I can do I try to recommend as much as possible but at the same time within reason and staying true not lying to customers also writing down every RO # or ticket number and the date each day on a note pad and every ticket number and the amount it pays to have a reference if the dealership makes a mistake in my pay. Writing stuff down works amazingly and it helps a lot!

ty man I love that and passing it to my shop

My problem is being terrified of mis diagnostic. Misdiaging a problem is dumb as shit imo unless its that one rare thing that gets everyone. But In all shops i've worked in and working on cars myself and learning, diagnosing a car correctly is the #1 responsibility. And you need a mind that thinks critically about problems and a ego that can not jump to conclusions. I usually waste about half an hour rechecking my diag to make sure I checked every stupid shit thing (like a battery cable or some shit). No comebacks since ive been hired so far.

WELL SAID 👍, THANK YOU

I am really enjoying your videos sir, I just graduated UTI In Rancho and I'm really enjoying watching your videos to prepare and motivate myself for the work I can hopefully get in these days to come, keep these videos up man.

Thanks Charles, your videos have really helped me and motivated me to do a good job and to learn as much as possible.

Great list and a lot of the points don't just apply to being a technician. I take pride in usually being the go to for training new guys. The biggest things I try to impress are being on time and to ask questions. If you don't care enough to show up when you're supposed to it's hard to justify investing my time and I'd much rather take a few minutes to explain something than have to deal with the come back.

great info, well organised. Thank you so much :)

Great list! IMO #1 should be: Always cover the basics. I prefer not to try to remember how often someone else, often a competitor, has looked at a machine after I quit and said something along the lines of "I just filled the coolant and cleaned the filter". I work in a different field, but I would add: Never listen to the customer's story as it comes out. People are usually glad to give you tons of information when you ask, but they just spurt out a bunch of information faster than you can register it and they do it in the form of a pile of bricks they took off a wall. It can be necessary to just let them spurt it all out so they can start listening to you, then make sure you reconstruct the story in the right order. I have had to ask 10 times the steps in order (AKA: 3 days after, the maintenance department did X, blablabla, 2 days after it broke, we did this... 2 days after what and 3 days after which step??????) Love your # 10

As an outsider that's only heavily gotten into cars as a hobby in the last 3-4 years, I really appreciate the wise words. Bentley manuals and qualities tools are where the money's to be spent, there's far too many people going on VWvortex talking out their ass, dropping money on Chinese coilovers, and the cheapest tools they can find before hitting the books. Gone are my days of buying anything that rotates and isn't built properly. "knowing your stuff" is way easier if you just work car by car, I remember starting to work on MK4s after only doing MK2/3s and they are intimidating at first. Can't imagine the information overload you suffered when all the direct injection stuff came out. Keep up the good work!

dude your channel is awesome

The tip I'd add is that you can learn something from anyone. Service managers don't know much sometimes about doing a job, but they can have been really around and be smart and logical too. I have a salesman to thank today for out thinking my take on something. :) I watched this twice. It has really helped me starting out. I think of this video or do some of it's ideas highly regularly. Sometimes out of habit and at others remembering this video. That's my take on it after seeing it two months ago.

The #1 should be the concepts of honesty and integrity, its why guys like me don’t let anyone else work on my things. Very few honest people with integrity period.

You mentioned something about ask for help with the caveat you have already made a real effort to solve the problem yourself. TOTALLY AGREE. I would add one more caveat. Learn which tech or techs to ask for help (and even to use as and example of how to go about your day in the shop) when it's really needed. There are some techs that love to provide advise and help that is not so good (except in their minds) while the exact opposite is true for other techs. I think that it might be hard for some to figure this out so I offer this advice. The good ones somehow challenge you to learn by providing hints at where you should go next and letting you figure it out or by going through the troubleshooting process together. This is what I like cause I learn by figuring it out and doing it what ever it is but sometimes I need a clue. Also as an example of those who immediately lean on others to help them with a diagnostic or whatever to get a job done (you talked about losing respect). I have seen the good techs give up on them; unless of course they were about to make a grave mistake that would possibly endanger the life of the customer or something like that.

Cleaning up tools after every job helps me. Start off fresh on the next car. Also helps limit the number of lost tools

Enjoyed that. Many of your 10 apply to maintenance techs too.

Great video! Im trying to listen to the podcast on Apple, but the podcast “episodes are unavailable.” I hope it becomes available again! 🤞🏻

Stay organized!!!! weather it be your tools or all of the parts you have removed from the vehicle. I know its one i struggle with but when I focus on it I am faster and do a better overall job.

im not sure if this counts but when shop is slow tidy up and set your self up for busy days of the shop so that your faster and easy access to your tools...im picky on tidiness of the tools and the bay area

I see you from argentina great work.. I love your videos

Good video, I laughed when you talked about pulling a front off a 1.8, that is nothing how about using the lift to pull a cab to do an engine nothing like having to listen for the sound of something breaking that you forgot to disconnect, first time was nerve racking now nothing special ;). You had to mention being late, I was 45 min. Late this morning because of a wreck, it shut down the highway, I texted my boss 45 min. Before I was due to let him know. FYI I HATE being late and I am early every day to make sure I am not late.

European Specialist at an Indie shop checking in. Unfortunately I'm low on the totem pole so I've become the Asian / American specialist. We have BMW and MBZ specialists working, so I'm also the VAG specialist. Which works fine because that's what I own and love.

Being at the dealership for the past 6 years, now at an independent shop, My job is 50% research 50% repair. I dont know the stuff off the top of my head like at a dealer. If that particular car/fault has a Bulletin on it, etc. etc. Spending the time to research and know the product in the bay is top priority and I tell me guys that every week.

as a heavy machinery mechanic i would say the top one is being clean!! like washing the machine before starting to work to gat all the dirt and grease off so when you work you can see everything! and ofcourse clean again once your done working!!

I drive a Crown Vic but many of your topics pertain. Did have an ‘80 Rabbit diesel though.

When doing big jobs, especially those you never done before - it helps to break it down into like 3-4 tasks, then take a step back (for tidying up, organize removed parts etc), maybe take a little break before or after a more physically demanding task, check manual if needed, then go at it again. Another thing - it's good to have a system to work to, makes work efficient, but once we settle onto it, things slip just under the radar even for the most experienced- so sometimes it's good to tweak the system a bit to keep yourself alert. A few more days then I'll think what to do with the timing belt of my Passat BKP 🤣 diy or garage? Decisions decisions! Solid work, keep the beard strong HumbleMechanic 👍🏾

Sign of a true mechanic. Messy bedroom, organized toolbox.

dude your videos are awesome i work on a vw dealer in mexico and this just fukin helps alot, your videos will make me the best tech in my work

#8 is the one that just makes me shake my head. Pride is a weakness. If you're too good to ask for help as a tech you're only screwing yourself and taking potential money out of your own pocket.

As a young mechanic, I think that a video about stacking work would be great. I'd like tips about how to get the most out of flat rate.

heard the first 1, hit like right away! i was a car mech for 9 yrs, and all your vids have been spot on bro. nice work!

in your shop do you have a computer database with diagrams and component locations or do you have to refer to paper service manuals? I'm still in High School and at our autoshop we have an online service reference database. Just wondering if I'll be able to rely on computers when I get into the industry. Thanks

hey Humblemechanic, im doing timing chain tensioners on an 09 jetta gli 2.0 tsi. just curios if you have any tricks to loosen the crank pulley bolt without the special counterhold tool to keep it from moving out of time. i don't have the tool and want to cause any problems and get the job done right. thank you

Thanks for the tips man I just got moved up from lube tech to b tech

when your diagnosing some trouble codes and you follow all all of your service information and still lead to nothing that will help or at the end replaced what service information says. Think about the surrounding systems that work with the dtc that is present. For example a insufficient flow air recirculation pump code think about your exhaust system and the ports in the heads that could be plugged. Dont be afraid to think outside the box. There are many times where dtc says its one thing but it could be due to another that you woudn't think is related

I'm a new General Service Technician. What are some ways that I can increase the company's sales though my inspections. What are some things to look for during inspections? What are things I can do to make myself stand out compared to the other general service technicians?

All the really good technicians I've meet started at wrecking yards.

Hi guys! I'm currently working at a shop modifying Jeeps with suspensions, bumpers, adding light bars and the sorts. But now I want more. I want to swap engines or work on changing transmisión. Where can prepare myself to do that? Thanks!

Smart gentleman

verify your repair. Recheck, road test before and after if applicable. There's been numerous times where I've found issues that the customer didn't realize. For example. Vehicle comes in for a 30k service. Has 60k on the clock. Pre Road test and I hear a wheel hub bearing screaming at me once I get over 30mph. Or I get a nibble at the steering wheel right between 55-60mph. Just a few examples.

I love your videos brother

Would you ever consider doing a video touching on custom VW setups? I don't think people realize how interchangeable VW parts are. One I saw recently was a AWP 20v head on an ABA. They welded in freeze plugs and then ran the BFI conversion kit. In a MK3, its a pretty simple way to make some power with out having to do a full swap. He was still running an 020 tranny but was in the process of having an 02J built. He just took the hydraulic parts off a VR car. Just a video to touch on these kinds of things that people are doing is super interesting and people don't hear about it outside the enthusiast community. I feel like the draw to VW's could only increase. Thanks!

One tip that I personally would add is having attention to detail. I barely started out as a service express tech at a VW dealer (so I'm a newbie ) but already in the 2 days I've been there is catch defects from the factory on PDI vehicles that even the senior techs didn't notice.

Awesome video

I work at a used car dealership and for me I have find enjoyment in working on Audi, BMW, MB, Volvo over GM, Ford or Toyota

One thing I do, being the only mechanic in my shop and being pulled off repairs constantly, is I leave my "go to" tools on the ground next to the vehicle if I leave a repair unexpectedly. I have multiple sets of tools, but the expensive brand name tools get left on the ground and at the end of the day or I open my tool bag looking for that snap on what ever and it's missing, it will jog my memory about something I forgot to finish because I got so buried with drivers bringing trucks in for repairs after their shift. Sometimes that snap on ratchet with that snap on socket will be next to a truck for a week and I won't remember why until I notice it missing from the bag and I'm looking at it for a couple minutes next to the truck on the ground. If I ever notice one of my tools is missing I stop what I'm doing and think about the last place I used it and 10/10 i left next to an unfinished repair and if I'm not swamped I'll finish the repair and put the tool back in it's bag. I've lost one tool in the last 7 years. A snap on flex head ratchet with a 3" extension and shallow deepwell 13mm six point socket. I left it on top of a baggage tug at seatac international and a operator ripped off my lock out tag out and drove off with it. I searched the ramp for 4 hours before reporting it to Delta. One of the rules in my shop is if you borrow my tools, which I have zero problems with, you put it back exactly where you found it. I get weird looks from the helpers sometimes like I'm a loony, but it's an effective way for me to remember things. I also tell them to never operate a vehicle in the shop with out asking me first, and them seeing tools on the ground next to the driver door helps them to remember that. I've noticed people get scared and ask me if the vehicle is safe to operate if they see tools just laying about.

Keep a pen, pocket screwdriver and tire gauge on hand at all times. All are useful whether I'm at my toolbox, bay, or up on the service drive, what else would we have shirt pockets for.

having worked at an under-equipped shop, I can say from experience the right tools are huge! we had an ask for help scenario. we had a newer (2010+) VW come in for safety inspection. hood was up and windshield washer wouldn't work. boss was about to fail the safety for that cuz he hadn't seen it but within the prior weeks i had needed to ask customers about that issue several times so I was able to ping that out to him.

A good vehicle inspection before working on the vehicle

# 11a check your own work all the time during repairs. # 11b do a test drive when ready.

8:29 did you make a video on stacking yet? I’m almost finished with my 6 month program. I’m making it a career

I think ya pretty much nailed it man, If you aint 30 mins early you're late, and I got the job you wanted, if a job is worth doing right, if your signing youre name to it it is worth doing right, under promise and over deliver, dont be afraid its just nuts and bolts keep it simple stupid think as it as your daughters car

I'm a new amateur technician. I'm planning on buying a project car to work on. Do you think is a good idea for practice? Do you have any suggestions on what it would be a good project car? Thanks for your time. Max.

I liked the remember the basics check the tire pressure lol

i'm new to the industry but I would like to get some thoughts from tech who has been doing this for a while but i really want to learn as much as possible but i feel like i annoy most of the tech there that have been doing it for a long time. I just really want to pick out what they are thinking when they diagnose cars and learn more and more.

Hey I just had an odd issue with a Ford Focus 1.6tdci. What happened was I was driving and at a junction and just when I left the junction the power steering and throttle died, it still idled but it wouldn't accelerate or steer properly. I just about managed to get it to the side of the road and I shut it off and back on and the same problem persisted so I turned in on and off about 5 times over the space of 10 mins and it started to work fine. Hasn't done it since. Is this something you have ever seen in a car. Minutes before this happened I had it plugged into a scanner to erase a fuel additive low error.

I had a #4 moment the other day. The washers wouldn't spray fluid on the windshield. Added washer fluid, checked washer tubes, cleaned connection at the pump, checked connection for voltage when on, checked fuse, tested fuse, and at the end of the day I was pressing the wrong button. My fault for listening to my dad when he said to "add fluid because it wasn't working" :P

Personally i failed to follow my own rules which helped make me make mistakes. I have a set of taps and dies but they are not metric could not do a job and so i decided to try and use old bolts to clean the holes as well as metho and degreaser... Well it's come back to bit me on the but, i have a bigger issue then before, at about 90Ft Pounds from the previous torquing of the head bolts i followed this time (-90 degrees then re-torque to 118nm ) And when i cracked some of the bolts i found they felt WAY TOO LOOSE! Seriously, i was not impressed how some of them were too easily cracked after 40km's of driving. I got 2 bolts to go but its in the weather it was raining and now i just have to pray i get this right and solve the issue. I don't want my car melting to the ground, or breaking on me. The problem i wanted to fix is or was worst. Trying to resolve it for the last time. Before adding Silver Sealer.

As an avation mechanic a lot of this translates over except about using Matinence manuals. If the FAA finds you doing work without having an active Matinence manual reference its not gonna be a good day for you.

always checking your attitude, I hate working with negative nancies and grown ass cry babies. and I feel avoiding shop shenanigans and staying focused on our customers. Im a Honda technician....

KNOWLEDGEABLE HumbleMechanic Video brilliant thank you 👍 Please do a video how you read wire diagram. Please HumbleMechanic From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

If you're an apprentice and you notice that your shop doesn't challenge you to grow and maybe try things ahead of your skill level, like tearing down an engine or whatever, then maybe you should change that yourself. Do NOT be happy with just doing the bare minimum for your schooling level, you need to learn as much as possible while you're hourly or you'll be 6-9 hour a day flat rate tech. Get used to putting your head down and working, don't get caught up by the guy next to you who just wants to talk all the time. Generally speaking the best technicians are the ones who wear ear plugs all the time. Focus on pushing yourself to the next level even when you're a journeyman otherwise you're going to get to 40 and make half of what others do because you turn down a bunch of jobs that are gravy to someone else. Jump in and take this shit seriously, its your career and idk about you but I'm here to learn so I can work/tune my own car better and better as time passes.

Hes a good guy 🤟

"SKIM THE OWNER"! -The humble mechanic

Hello was wondering if someone could help my car is a JDM 93 supra 2jzge non vvti engine starts then runs for a few seconds then stalls, or stalls as soon as the throttle is given. I’ve ran codes and have 24 & 31 which is maf sensor related however my car has a map sensor. I’ve replaced so far the valve cover gaskets cleaned pcv valve installed new distributor cap rotor button spark plugs and spark plug wires still have same issue if someone could help me diagnose further or may know a solution that I’m not thinking about I would appreciate it thank you.

Hi. I am form India I like yor technique to teach You did good job I have work shop in India I Won't to under u is it possible thanks . good work👍

Thumbs up

When are you going to talk about the different scanners an diagnostic tools for mid level techs

Try Gilgamesh brewery beer its my favorite and their beers are what made me like beer.

I don’t get how this guy in this video getting 29 dislikes.. everything he said is right.

If a part does not want to go in,figure out why it is doing this and don't force it.Forcing the part in results in breaking the part and you don't want to do this.There are some that like to touch the bottle drinking on the job too and this is a huge no.Have a few bottles of liquor at my dad's shop in a filing cabinet and they don't get touched during working hours.They get touched after working hours only.

Tip if you need tools go look on eBay and/or garage sales so they be cheaper.

If you need to be there at 7:00, be ready at 6:50
