I loved working with the “old” techs early in my career. One time we had an efficiency team come in and interview every employee and they suggest changes. I got all worked up about it, but Jim the old tech said man, don’t worry about all that crap. He said to play the long game. It ended up that all we could tell is we got a smaller dumpster. Haha, Jim was right. The old guys didn’t get excited about anything. He had been down that road too many times before! Much respect to the “old” guys.

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

lol, that is so true. Efficiency teams and business advisors are good at one thing and one thing only. Taking money the employees should be getting paid and running a business into the ground with corporate nonsense. It's why so many big repair chains always go bankrupt. They put money first and think short term.

That's an easy one Jimmy. The rear brake pads on that Cadillac went in easier because you cleaned off all the rust & dirt with the wire brush & file. I personally don't grease the top side of the hardware is because it becomes a brake & road dust collector. I will grease under the hardware to help prevent rust from forming & pushing up on the pads. I also file the ears of the brake pads flat because there is often a ridge on them.

@oldbiker9739 13 дней назад

And that's why I quit working in garages as an auto mechanic way to much drama mama's out there , I went to work in the coal mines and lead and zinc mines on very large cat equipment , then as a mechanicians the oil and gas field , never went back to automotive except for my own vehicles and my sons junkers . The customer's must realize we are not magicians were mechanics.

You made a killing on that oil change! Lol I hate flat rate! It treats the mechanic so bad! I got so tired of feeling like I was doing the work and the shop makes almost all the money! I understand over head and need to make money, but there has to be a better way to pay! Maybe hire mechanics like you that they can trust and pay them by the hour! Time for mechanics to get paid what they are worth!

What is it in FL with used engines having oil leaks this week. Rainman Ray's drop a video today "Junkyard Engine Leak Warranty? Chrysler Dodge 3.6" He charged for repair and talks about it at 40ish minutes in.

@JimmyMakingitwork 11 дней назад

Yeah, it’s fairly Common with a used engine. We usually advise People to do things like valve cover, rear main seal or anything easier while it’s apart, but it adds to an already expensive repair. But then when it has an oil leak, everyone is sad. Almost like we should decline to do repairs as cheaply as possible.

@mph5896 11 дней назад

Salvage yard does not warranty against oil leaks. Breaking it down to a long block and resealing a used engine is an option. But people would rather cross their finger and play the blame game when problems pop up later on.

@puremayhemFTW 13 дней назад

We just did an engine on one of those infinity’s. I think it was a 2012. Paid 26 hours! And the engine was like 12 grand. The used engine came with 154k miles too! 🤯

@AKChryslertech 13 дней назад

I had customers like that who would ask me what the most "American" truck was they could buy. They would be taken back when I would say Toyota. Some of the older folk didnt believe me until I showed them. Honestly, Toyota makes really good stuff. I still love my Chryslers and Dodges though.

@aaadamt964 13 дней назад

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

Yeah, everyone has their preferences, and if it’s working for you keep after it. But for me I’ve had the best luck with Toyota. They are all pretty good if maintained well really. Some easier to Work on than others maybe.

@Wheelman81 12 дней назад

Would a few oil flushes work on that Infiniti? I've seen some guys on RU-vid use like diesel fuel or that miracle oil on really old junkyard cars and then it frees it up. But this isn't as bad as those. Maybe do like 5 oil changes every 1000 miles?

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

That might work, all we could do is try and advise the customer that it;s a long shot, but it might work.

@robiecarmichael9958 13 дней назад

Morning sir! Glad it’s Friday. As always the commentary is great. We have a 22 CRV purchased 11/22 currently has 13,200 miles on it. 6/17 it had its third oil change! I do them every 6 months. Most everyone says do it yearly. I look at it in this light. It’s turbocharged, it runs very short distances. Like 10 to 14 miles, very little highway miles. We are 69 and 70 and do not plan on buying another car. So I would rather go a little over board to cut down on oil contaminants. Have a great weekend.

@oldbiker9739 13 дней назад

my wife has 22 CRV 1.5 turbo I do the same when the oil reminder hits 50 % I change the oil , I also bought an Idle stop I just don't like the thought of a hot engine with a hot spinning turbo shutting off at every stop light and starting up again ,

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

Sounds great! That is a good plan for long life! I am doing the same or very close on my vehicles!

@brandonsee9166 13 дней назад

Hey Jimmy. What are your thoughts on valvolines restore and protect as far as the piston rings go? 4 oil changes and supposedly its clean %100 deposits. I saw lake speed did a video on it and was intrigued

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

Yeah, Lake Speed is the oil Guru, if he says it, it’s almost definitely true and packed with factual data to back it up!

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

I think that product might help, but it’s an added expense that the customer Has to realize is Something we are trying, to see how it goes.

@giggiddy 12 дней назад

Im pleasantly surprised to see the amount of higher end stuff brought in for service as apposed to taking to the dealership. Im sure its because you guys have a good reputation. As well as people realizing there is nothing magical about service at a dealership. In fact, service can be substandard at a dealer depending on where you go.

But sometimes the AutoZone's free diag does too. LOL Jimmy wins my award for best down to earth and honest RU-vid mechanic today.

@tombeilman5579 12 дней назад

I wonder if using vavoline restore after an oil flush would help the Infiniti. How would the VW problem go in court

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

It might, not sure. Certainly worth a try. This customer attempted to defraud the insurance company by waiting a year after buying the vehicle to make an engine claim, but the company realized the mileage hadn't changed. Then he signed a contract that gave him 30 days warranty on the engine with no warranty against oil leaks, or other external engine parts, like water pumps or hoses. If he opted for the reman or crate engine he would have had 3 years 36,000 miles warranty.

Cars are really a luxury. They are complex and made of materials that wear out despite modern technology. Sometimes its a cascade of problems that coalesce in a single car and its not a mechanics fault. If the customer cant keep putting money into it they should consider walking

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

Yeah, sometimes a new car or no car are the only real options.

@warrantyvoid100 14 дней назад

Is that VW customer the one that had an extended warranty denied because the odometer hadn't changed since they signed up? That was super suspicious.

@JimmyMakingitwork 13 дней назад

Yeah, super sketchy guy. I think he bought it blown up and tried to scam the warranty by waiting a year to make a claim, but the mileage hasn’t changed. lol

@mlieser1230 13 дней назад

I'll bet at the end of the day everyone in the shop celebrated the firing of the VW customer with adult beverages. 🎉🍻 When you go to any major retailer it is difficult to find products that are made in the USA. Consumers want reasonable prices and corporations want maximum profit. China is all too happy to oblige. I actually get excited when I see a product made elsewhere other than China. As far as engines are concerned, many of today's engine designs are ticking time bombs. The timer starts the moment you drive the new vehicle off the lot. In many cases installing a used engine amounts to installing nothing more than a hand grenade. The manufacturers expect that once you pay the loan off, you return to the dealer to purchase another disposable vehicle.

@JimmyMakingitwork 12 дней назад

Yeah, I also think they recommend oil changes WAY too far out. I say cut the intervals almost in half!
