Fixing 3 Cars After Local SHOP "Tried/Couldn't" | HOW HARD CAN IT BE?

[@ourv9603]

A lot of shops are all GO-GO-GO-GO. I worked at a shop where we were given 1hr. If we had not diagnoses the cause and we were working on the fix in 1hr we were to call the shop foreman over and he would decide whether to apply more resources (more exp tech or call the factory, ect) OR, push it out the shop and call the customer saying it could not be fixed or we could not find the problem. SO impatient this shop was. !

Nice work and all three vehicles work!!! Know how and tools equals victory again!! Ernest does do quality work!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thanks again!

[@kblinn68]

you're the man Ernest,that's 3 jobs well done!

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thank you

[@markcavandish1295]

That’s some good work right there. Your diag skills are 💯

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thank you so much 👍

[@craigfin3222]

Nowadays shops just want to guess and then charge the customer, and if their guess is wrong they want to charge the customer again. In today's world a lot of shops seem to want to avoid taking any responsibility for their actions and words.

[@RoadsideRescue]

yeah sounds like what I've been seeing from dealerships

[@FA--X01]

I'd suggest you get one of those rode wireless microphones they will make your videos a whole lot better because we will hear you more. Check it out! I hope to see you using it in the future videos

Most people don't realize how important good audio is. Your video can have a ton of issues and some people will care. But if your audio is jacked up, everyone will care and not in a good way. It's why there are audio podcasts but no videos without audio. Even in the silent film days in the early 20th century, local theaters would hire piano players and bands to play along.

[@MikeyMack303]

Nice work, as always Ernest! Three jobs at one stop!

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thanks again!

[@brenthann2623]

thats a job (or three) well done.

[@k9under]

Nice job no smoke machine needed.😁😁😁😁

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thanks 👍

But they're awful handy.

[@myanu0072]

Great video as usual., Very informative, you say and do it where we can understand....Aloha

[@RoadsideRescue]

I appreciate that!

[@onefixitman]

That big plastic cover that covers the top of the engine holds the heat in and kills all that plastic junk.

[@peachyclean93]

JB walda's only for emergency to get you to get it fixed as soon as possible does not work long term.

[@TONYTHETlGER]

I believe the word you're looking for is diaguessing.

[@TheDigitaldoug]

Or maybe troubleshooting?

[@frankenstrat25]

LMAO the way you go "i have to go diagnosising, idk if thats a word, lmk." then the sentence right after is "usually when im diagnosing."

[@RoadsideRescue]

took a second

[@noway1054]

[@Hallahanify]

Damn $150 to $200 a job thats a grind.

[@MrMustangMan]

WD-40, by its nature, is designed to remove oil, grease, and other watery substances from solid surfaces. The key to this nature is the hydrocarbons present in its chemical formula. It's the same stuff you'd find in chemical solvents. Here's where the problem arises - hydrocarbons can't mix with plastic polymers. If one is introduced to the other, then the chemical bonds of the polymer start breaking down. In layman's terms, if you spray a plastic object with WD-40 and leave it for a while, the object will start softening and breaking down, until it eventually becomes so brittle that it snaps.

Why did you change your whole look? You are unrecognizable!!

[@TonicofSonic]

He is a human.

[@RoadsideRescue]

I mean... Techincally it's the lack of changing my look I have done... Few answers: Stoped going to BYU (They make you shave and cut hair) And then winter hit when it was getting long. going to wait till warmer weather lol

Filming diagnostics?

[@TheDigitaldoug]

Ernest, is your background all on the job, school, or a mix of a lot of reading, you tube videos, and experience. From your comments it seems you and Scanner Danner are very similar in knowledge with a slight edge to Scanner Danner (he's older). From a technician viewpoint it is always easier to fix something when you understand the theory behind how systems work. Lacking theory produces the infamous parts cannon morons at dealerships.

[@qcbtbx]

I've been saving to buy a good smoke machine myself. EVAP diagnosis is pretty much a guessing game without it. Hate doing them at this point.😅

[@RoadsideRescue]

Yeah its all eye without it. Luckily it works sometimes!

[@StarlightWorkshop0z]

Hi from down under, a question. I have a v6 alloytech in a commodore, its throwing an engine light and shutting down. Afer a small time it will let me restart. But it will only run a min or 2 then cut out again..the funny thing is the check engine light blinks on n off fast. When it does i can hear the throttle body clicking in and out. Doesnt give me a definitive code. Any thing like this come your way? Btw usually the next day i can drive it again. Can be good for days and weeks till it does it again. Very frustrated

[@BADD400]

Great video

[@RoadsideRescue]

Thanks for the visit

[@Blackford86]

What happened to your headliner?

[@williampaskewitz5383]

That Rolls-Royce look

[@johnhanselman6371]

My advice is purchase a smoke machine rather than attempt to make a smoke machine based upon all my failures. Smoke everywhere and none that was useful.

[@MarzNet256]

Good call. I picked up an ancel s100 and it works great. Well worth 100 bucks.

[@RoadsideRescue]

I've made two and they were not very good. I'm excited to get a nice one. Was loooking at the new ICON but it needs external air.

[@JohnnyBfromPeoria]

But it's not much air. An inflator or a tank would do it. @@RoadsideRescue

[@chadmcgowen7918]

I bought a 200 dollar 1 from Amazon. Actually nice unit. I couldn't imagine trying to diag evap without

[@UToobSteak]

I use a high VG liquid in my ecig. Works pretty good if you don't mind putting a dirty hose in your mouth 😂

[@donaldhuffman8080]

Where you asked to fix leak? If yes then you should have cleaned it up to make sure it was properly done.

[@rodneysoto9555]

What code reader do you use

What model is your scanner? Its not in your affiliate links.

[@joshuacoomes6388]

Stop using the word Diagnosis and it's variables. Use testing or evaluation. Also, Autool makes a bad ass smoke machine for cheap. Pays for itself first use.

[@williampaskewitz5383]

Amen
