I have learnt over the years to NEVER say “it’s a 10 minute job” you can guarantee if anything can go wrong it WILL.

I feel your pain with the Audi TT clutch pedal! I hate doing them! I had a golf clutch master to do the other day, hottest day of the year and I’m laying upside down in a footwell! You know the one that is just a push and twist to fit it? Easy 15 minutes? No chance! The white pedal clip wouldn’t go back in (2 piece) and the torque reduction spring came out! GRRRR! Had to take the whole pedal out and refit the spring and master ball joint with clip using the vice. Took 3 times longer! Nevermind. I used to re-weld those pedals when that flap broke off, saved taking the pedals out like you did there. Obviously only good if you have a welder there and a leather mat to stop any weld burns to the interior. Far easier than what you had to do though - my patience is like yours with those jobs, very short! Keep up the good work! Phone will ring - early august always quiet. - It would help if you knew in advance it would definately be quiet on a certain week so you could book holidays but it is never the same the next year! 👍🏼

How much is that scan tool is that better than the 129. I'm after an ECU for a r170 SLK 230 kompressor 03y,I don't think they need to be programmed do they? you can just swap them out? just would like a spare if you know of one going second end let me know! How much do you want for the SLK 330? I'll give you two grand. Is it a rust bucket!!!! I might call you out depends where you are! what part of the country? I'm in the Southeast just near Wendover. I don't see why you need a flywheel looks okay as long as it's not warped or you could machine it down in 10 minutes. That's not a good design for the brake pedal, is the new pedal redesigned ? I wouldn't be using the same design alternatively you could put a washer or Square piece of Steel to spread the load, looks rather thin on the broken one, or buy a better aftermarket that's not good of Audi
@kerbsidemobilemechanic
@kerbsidemobilemechanic Месяц назад
2 grand 😂😂 which quarter of the car do you want for that? Yeah plug and play for these bcm’s. And yep same exact design, I’d personally put a bit more weld on it if was my car

Let me tell you they buy the cheapest oil in 20L bottle Drivetec 5w30 and the cheapest filters possible and they used it in all cars . Proper proper donkeys . Same thing happened to me , how come you charge 140-160£ for an oil change , when his car was a 4.5v8 that took 8.2L of oil plus I never used cheap Oil and fuel filters , and his reply was my other mechanic can do it for 50£ but he is to busy . No point in arguing with them as they just need an oil change doesn’t matter if the engine fails in less than 1 months “it’s been serviced “ . 😊

You’re entitled to your opinion mate, was a last minute booking squeezing it in for the day, and where it ran to in the engine bay would have been a headache, so yes would have added considerable time on, added to the expense of his bill, the car is ready for the scrap bin, sometimes you make decisions based on a few factors mate 👍🏼

Congratulations to you and Mrs Kerby on your 3 year anniversary hope you had a great time celebrating. I don't understand how garages can get away with passing a vehicle with an mot if its not road worthy. Im glad the guy who does my car mot's is 100% honest and tells me what work if anything needs to be done regardless if it fails or passes. I hope you both have a great week and look forward to your next video

Maybe you could say you do a full service. Main dealers say a mini or full service and there's a huge difference between them. I would inform customers what it is, your Kirby service entails.
@kerbsidemobilemechanic
@kerbsidemobilemechanic Месяц назад
The majority of the time I do exactly that but I think then customers assume what I do others do 🤷🏻‍♂️
@MummaBear
@MummaBear Месяц назад
@@kerbsidemobilemechanic ok I asked all my friends even male friend. " What do they do when you take your car in for a service?" The majority said. " I dunno. Change the oils and stuff". Once I explained why they changed the oil they were shocked, I also listed all the other things they should check and change. Most take their cars to main dealers and the average cost of a " mini service" is £250.
