Len, the sound effects were 100% accurate! If being a mechanic doesn’t work out, you’ve got a future in the cartoon sound effects business!

GOD, you are my favorite person at A1 Auto, this video will make a great training session for young Service Advisers, the way you duplicate the noises and the feeling of a customer complaint is amazing and very entertaining. Good job and well done.

[@legendofman12]

It’s fantastic!

[@DIYVariety]

Lol loved when steering wheel came off lol great job guys

[@johnnyblue4799]

This is a 10 out of 10 for entertainment value! :)))

[@michaelmcnicholl608]

Lol. I love how Len is always driving around with his hood up! I've been told about all of those noises at one time or another, but never with so much animation. I like the person who comes in and says "I have a thump-tha-thump-tha-thump noise as soon as I start driving and as I pick up speed it gets faster." When you go look at the car it has a flat tire obviously. Then you ask if they noticed that they had a low tire at any point? "Yes" they say, "but that's not why I'm here. Could you please fill it up while you have it in the garage though?" 😳

[@rapturousrabbits9546]

VERY HELPFUL, thank you!!! I drive a bus, so knowing the weird sounds that come up to convey to our mechanic to save a lot of time!!!

[@thobui9]

Constantly noises - just focus in suspect areas then shooting them . Intermittently noises - too much time , scratching head or just wait for constantly noises coming . This video is very helpful. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@vanislandbeauty4926]

VERY INFORMATIVE😁 You seem EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!😁

[@shonuff_king1152]

Great tips! Keep it going

[@anncook9434]

Len, I'm teaching a very intelligent 11 year old some everyday life skills during Summer break and came upon your video. Loved your introduction and will use it but the rest is over both our heads and our goal isn't to fix the mechanical issue (unless is minor) but just diagnose it...just to know if needs to go to a shop or is something simple can do ourselves. So saying do you have a video that is just that ...diagnosing issues using the dashboard lights and the noises and signs something just needs regular maintenance...like fluids, gas, new battery, etc or should be taken to a mechanic like yourself. So enjoyed your comical delivery.

[@rtravasz]

Wow this was awesome even for someone whos not planning to be a car engineer :D ... srsly I expected to be more views on this Vid, it deserves it! Nice job!!!

[@DopeZilla_]

Lenny is a goof ball!! But I love y’all’s videos! I’ve got a 98 ZR2 and the videos about the front suspension that y’all do with the 4x4 S-10s helped me completely redo the front end!! Thank you and keep posting these awesome videos

[@FlamingRobzilla]

All good advice and presented well. A+

[@mr5150slayer]

"Barking seal" noise from the engine is the most creative one I was ever told by a customer. They started the car it would ideal high then down really low and all while the belt would squeal and well all together it sounded like a damn barking seal. Never again have I heard that.

Cat was stolen on driver side of my 01 mustang V6. I essentially placed (welded) pipe until I can afford replacement. No o2 sensors were attached, they are on the passenger. I'm getting check engine, after a week or so I start getting a check gas cap light. What is your opinion on what could be an issue?

[@dannynica7480]

Nice video man, but I would like to see a video with no start and the many issues that can cause it and how to solve it

[@JourneyofmyLifeJahid]

nice presentation

[@dawnrobbins5877]

[@McJ7371]

What would you think is causing this Sound and what would you recommand on fixing to solve this issue ??

[@heluxg]

Big help

[@SoulBrights]

My hyundai sonata hybrid 2013 clicking popping noise when I step on break or start accelerate, no is not cv joint axle or brakes calipers. I've changed all that but still making noise.

[@FireEater]

Love this channel and A1 auto as opposed to rockauto has customer service with rock auto you’re on your own.

[@ironfistarrival]

Hello there , i got a Clunking sound from my Acadia 2007 front drive SLE type , coming from Rear Left side of the car , i changed the Rear Shocks but still the Clunking noise comes usually going over bumpy roads , i did check the Front Ball joints and they are Ok. But the noise comes from the Rear left nothing to do with the Front ball joints though ! The Sway bars are okay , these cars have also Spring coils in the rear plus the Shock absorbers . Thank you ...

[@Tang0Fox1]

Would you do the same procedure with an all wheel drive vehicle?

[@bwagenberg]

Hi. Is it true not to leave both cars running.. Both alternators can damage either car?

[@arlenestrait]

At :59 what would the diagnosis be for that? I think I missed in the video

[@RasheedProsper]

Nice

[@tomas8052]

I recently had all four rotors and pads replaced on my 02013 CRV (87k). The front end was vibrating while braking (especially when approaching an exit on the highway). Now I feel vibration while driving at highway speeds which I didn’t feel before the recent brake work. Could this be related? Thank you for your informative videos.

[@1AAuto]

+Tomas We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@naveen5398]

Can you help me with the Corolla 2015. When I press the accelerator there is a sound like old truck coming from front right side . Only happns on Drive mode and acceleration. We checked the wheel bearing is perfect . The sound is comes from only front left side . The sound is just as the old truck’s acceleration.

I have a 1994 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder. It started running rough , power isn't bad going up hill , noticed a tear in the inlet hose to the top of the motor,. ( No check engine light on yet ),. I was going to try and duct tape the split part but it turns off I put the other section of the hose back on it tightened it down , but now the check engine light is on and it didn't improve anything, seems like it's getting worse , when you press the throttle it makes an odd noise. Any idea ? I have comment on other channels but no response, I can't afford to pay someone else to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I get it, these videos go back to 7 months ago others a year ago or more.

[@robertkeefer1552]

Where did you find that sump pump?

[@JosephSmith-vx1jn]

I feel attacked 🤣🤣 really appreciate the video tho!

[@brandonbranham7879]

Ive been getting a metal rattling when i crankk up and it stays. When revving it doesnt go away. Sounds like running a nail against a metal chain link fence, just started today before replacing an alternator.

[@francisfingerlin4280]

Funny but educational video. What causes electric side view mirrors to chatter when they are being adjusted?

[@DopeZilla_]

It’s just where it pivots it’s dry and rubbing harder.

[@pamagujar183]

That funny noise I hear coming from the trunk is a stow-away rat that's been living there for 4 days now and I haven't been able to remove him. I don't want him dead because his dead carcass will smell badly and I'll have to tear apart the inside panels and upholstery which I don't know how. I've tried peppermint tea bags which were offensive to him but the smell drove him forward and away from it. I leave my trunk open as much as I can, but it's time restricted. So, how does someone remove the carpeting/panels and replace them in case I have to physically have to chase him out?

[@maceguy]

Brake pulsations, thank you!!!!

[@brennahinsley9340]

What if your vehicle makes a ch noise and the vehicle stalls for a second. It only does it every once in a while, but has been doing it more recently (it’s an 86 Chevy).

[@raynavarro1078]

I have a 2011 Camry that only squeals when in reverse from the back brakes. I have tried running it in reverse (1/2 block) with the brakes applied to clear the brakes but nothing helps. Any suggestions.

What was the noise at 1:39 ?????

[@emekaihenacho6538]

I need help here. When I accelerate slowly I notice my car seem sluggish when moving with a boinling sound in the car engine section but when I accelerate fast, everything runs smoothly. This doesn happen often and it is worse when AC is on

I have a "eeeeeeeeeee" sound while stopped when car was hot for a while, very subtile can only hear it while outside the car or with window down in a very quiet place

[@olenaerhardt7725]

I can't find any films, where the knocking sound from the engine would appear at higher speeds. The car is 2003 Chevy Cavalier. I don't know if it has hydraulic tensioner. If someone has opinion about origin of the knocking sound at speeds (starts ~ @45 mi/h) and find time to share it, I would really appreciate it. I've heard that it can be fm/the some transmission problems, like low on fluid, or it can be engine tensioner belt. I hope on that, but afraid it might be smth more serious. Thank you for a great film.

[@jesusiiimeneses3839]

What about "Woog...Woog...Woogg" sound when you start to push your accelerator?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Let's see if the clunk under my truck's cab is addressed here...

[@catfishbilly7425]

If it's heard when putting the truck in gear and/or when taking off from a stop, its likely the u-joints on the driveshaft
