Girl buys new car. Finds out she was scammed TWICE in 3 days! Here’s what happened.

She gave up and was sending it to the junkyard! SO I told her I'd fix it free! A few weeks ago I introduced a car that had been purchased 3 days prior and was diagnosed by a local shop as "A Bad head gasket". It seemed odd to me, so when I took a look further I realized she almost got scammed twice!

Hopefully it was someone inexperienced and just a misdiagnosis. In the first video Earnest said that he sent her there because it is a reputable shop, I believe he also said that exhaust gases were detected, but not much which was a reason he doubted it was a head gasket issue.

Great job Ernest saving that nissan from the junk yard. You really helped that woman out. As for the shop that told her she needed a head gasket job for $3500, it needs to be reported on Google so people stop getting ripped off. Dishonest shops needs to be shut down. PERIOD!

[@racequad9]

This really is what needs to start happening. I always hear KZbinr's say "oh, i don't want to name any names" or "I don't want to throw anyone under the bus.." but unless they mention names of those shops and make public these businesses then they are never going to stop ripping people off. In this day in age, online reviews are a big factor on where people choose to shop. Report dishonest shops!

Tbh it makes me mad how a whole “professional auto repair” said “ buy a new engine” i lived my life with very little money so when My Nissan Maxima with 230,000 miles ( I received the car at 220,000 miles) on it would make a noise I would KZbin it or look at forms and buy a the part and pray that was the problem. Thanks for being honest and helping people out.

Ohh and 99% of all my problems with my car were fixed with using youtube and forms

[@TheWanggolf]

Ran into this issue myself with my g35 awhile back. Had overheating and then my coolant reservoir was bubbling like crazy and spilling out. Took into a shop, and had them do a combustion leak test to see if it was a head gasket… they fucking lied and said it was. Figured that out later doing my own combustion leak test. And just going through process of elimination checklist. My car really didnt have any symptoms of blown head gasket.I did further research myself and troubleshooted the issue. Air was in the system. Bled the system and no more issues. Its insane how many people out there are either sloppy mechanics or just flat out greedy scum. Theres alot of people whod just lose hope and go into debt by either getting a new car or dropping 2k on a head gasket job that didnt need to be done. Its sad that people in this profession try to take advantage of others like this. Wish more mechanics out there had your integrity. Keep doing what your doing man, you’re honestly amazing. 👍🏼

[@dreamwolf7302]

Anything i cant do myself, repair wise, is usually because of Manufacturer specific tools that are needed. One thing i really hate about my Ford Fiesta, is that i cant reset a lot of the Dash Indicators, because it requires a toggle/dongle that isnt available to 'unauthorized dealers and repair techs'. I can reset my oil change indicator. But when i replaced my fuel pressure sensor, i learned i couldnt reset that alarm in my cars computer, without a special dongle. thankfully my dealership is awesome, and reset it for free.

[@emgriffiths9743]

yeah I bought a Volvo that came with a pile of repair invoices- it had been having heat issues and a Chev dealer charged him $400 to replace the thermostat, I was driving it and it never got warm, pulled the thermostat and found that they had just cut the centre out leaving the ring to hold the gasket, it wouldn't overheat but obviously not good in winter. I wonder what logic that dealer used

[@BrodieBr0]

The most trusted mechanic is either yourself or someone on KZbin like you not afraid to record and explain their repairs. And you did this for free! You're a saint dude, it's a pleasure to sub to your channel.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Man, it’s a tuff time to be used car shopping. What is available is sketchy or over priced. Good thing she found a good mechanic to make it right.

[@welding_guy7524]

You are awesome for helping this girl..hopefully she was grateful for your time and effort.. I stopped helping people because the last time I did repair work on a car to help somebody out I didn’t even get a thank you.. dude at work needed a starter changed in his daughters Honda , bought the starter,wrong one btw, and was complaining how it wasn’t as easy as his old ford van so I offered to help..took the old starter out, drove to store and got the right starter, installed it, fixed a few other pet peeves like cleaning terminals , etc.. dude and his daughter never bothered to say a simple thank you, as I was putting tools away they got in the car and drove off, and even next day it was like I never even helped them..

[@whatisanamelol]

[@gott2641]

A similar situation: I have a friend who took his car to a shop recently because he was having trouble with it going uphill- it would ping a lot and seem to lose power. The shop told him that the catalytic converters (there are two) were bad and would need to be replaced. He asked my opinion of it, and I asked him what type of fuel he was using. Turns out, since gas is well over $3 a gallon here, he opted to put flex fuel (85 octane) in his car to save money. I told him to never do that again, as his car's fuel system is not set up for that, and to try and offset his mistake with some pricey 93 octane at the pump. Turns out that, a few days later, his car was much more responsive, and I save him at least a grand in repairs.

[@dashcamandy2242]

I borrowed a 2016 Grand Caravan (Flex Fuel-ready) from a friend of mine, the first time I put E85 in it, I had to have it towed home from the gas station (EDIT: refused to start immediately after fill-up) so I could drain the tank; I then advised her to never use E85 no matter what the manual and gas cap say. Which is fine, because she had no idea what E85 is, and it's not for sale at BJ's Wholesale Club where she gets her gas, so it won't be a future problem for her. By 28k she had already gone through three batteries, two oil leaks, seven TPMS sensor failures, and had the head replaced due to damaged valves (thank goodness for factory warranties). The last thing she needs is to tow the dang thing in for service because it is incapable of running on the fuel it is specifically-designed to run on!

[@numberpirate]

Flex fuel is not 85 octane but 85% ethanol and ethanol has a higher octane rating than regular heptane and octane. If a vehicle does not have a flex fuel sensor to see what percentage of ethanol is in the fuel then the ECU will not compensate by adding more fuel as ethanol has less calories per unit volume than regular heptane/octane does. Which means that it has a different AFR value than the regular does. Big turbo tuners use E85 due to the resistance to pinging, it is a cheap alternative to race fuel, but they know to add an additional 15-20% more fuel. So what happened instead was the vehicle was running excessively lean which was heating up the cylinders so much that pinging was occurring due to heat. E85 needs to be run with a flex fuel sensor otherwise not enough fuel will be added which will not work out well when there is a large load, such as going up a hill. Your ends justified the means even though your understand of the means was off.

[@gott2641]

@@numberpirate Good call. Now that I know this, it's actually worse than I thought! Putting anywhere between 53% and 85% ethanol in a vehicle not designed for it is bad news indeed... I already ridiculed my friend enough about it initially, so hopefully lesson learned on his part. Just to think that his trying to save a few dollars on gasoline could have cost him a few hundred or thousand in repairs had it really done serious damage.

[@SilvaDreams]

@@gott2641 E85 is used in tuned cars and a number of racing cars (Or just high performance cars) because it has a higher compression rate than gasoline allowing for better performance without the potential for self ignition due to the higher compression and technically the E85 also burns cooler since it is alcohol meaning the tuned high performance engine doesn't run as hot as it would with gasoline also providing less chance for premature self detonation. You average car isn't going to use or even know how to handle E85 as most likely it is going to be engineered to use 87 octane fuel... unless it is something like a mustang, Camaro or even a v8 Cadillac which needs 95 to run properly because of the higher compression it gives the engine.

[@dewdew34]

Bought an old f150 to haul hay and trash, knocking uphill ... changed oil and did what always do and added a can of Restore for compression restore , problem gone. Been using 25 years, any vehicle over 150k i'd use once a year. Compression tests confirm it works.

[@captain3xtreme]

There are a lot of "mechanics" out there that basically don't really know what they are doing, at independent shops and dealerships. Most likely they saw the bubbles coming out of the radiator and immediately called a head gasket.

It seemed like she had some real bad luck. Our family was from the UK and we moved to upstate New York and we found a lovely mechanic because we had gotten an old car to get around in but one day later it died on us it turned out that it was the catalytic converter and it was shot and not knowing anybody we went into the local shop and his named was Paul and later we moved around US and we found most mechanic's are honest like most Americans willing help and very kind.

@@watershed44 True! I have heard it said that a persons true colors are often revealed in money matters. One of the caveats of buying a used car is that you may be buying someone else's problems. The seller doesn't want to pay for an expensive repair, so they sell it off quickly without telling the new buyer that the transmission is going out etc. - they feel no shame for what they know will soon happen.

Other Social Platforms, mainly Facebook- have been Clinically shown to mess up people's perception of self worth. Just hold your course steady, we admire you here, we care, we want what's best for you & your Family. I know "good people" when I see them- and I can spot a creep a mile away.

Honestly liked the format. You could focus on working then make a voice over after and the videos would be just fine!

Yeah man its honestly better that way you can pay attention to what your doing more easily and add in some non copyright music preferably opera style and just hit the important stuff with commentary.

Outstandingly good job brother.

[@user-xk4vt9ye8j]

Amazing how many shops just declare “needs an engine” without doing proper diagnostic work.

[@afoster4274]

You are a kind soul.

[@00taohio85]

I use gasket glue to stick them into place on the part it makes so much easier.

[@charliedc38]

Job well done my friend. 👍 Air in the system can be a pain. That bleed funnel is a live saver. Once I got myself one a few years back I'll never do it any other way. Be blessed 👊✌

[@doyleconrad]

Ernest is the man! Helping out his community! We should all inspire to be a little like Ernest. God bless you.

[@RoadsideRescue]

I appreciate that

[@jrw2543]

Great job... We need ppl like you.. honest ... I try to help ppl with what I know... But your awesome... She's probably happy to. See her car running...

[@jamesparker887]

I would really love to see your customer’s reaction when you brought the car back to her, fixed👍

[@RoadsideRescue]

Yeah. It’s hard for me to decide how to do that. I think it wouldn’t capture the reality and end up a bit disingenuous. But she was very grateful.

[@michaelplumacher7536]

Fantastic work, I was worried about this one as I had suspicious over heating issues in the past, which take a lot of time to work on (to diagnose properly). In my case a bad coolant bottle cap for one car and a lazy water pump on another. Good job!

I'd be advertising the name of that incompetent weekend mechanic. Hate those that like to take advantage of women. He should be ashamed. Thank you for doing the cheap basic things first that are easy to change.

[@Youhtube890]

Nice job man wow from bleeding cars 100 of times I have never seen so much air it was basically jumping out lol

[@ice44567]

One trick I like using for 90 degree thermostat housings with fiber gaskets is just the thinnest of thin coats of grey RTV to stick it in place so you aren't fighting it for 9 years. This is supposedly some huge taboo thing that will cause the gasket to fail, but it won't. The key is using a layer so thin it's not obscuring your view of the metal underneath it. The failure comes if you put a thick bead, because it will lift the gasket while tacking it which causes it to tear. Have yet to have any leaks or failures with this tactic. Back in the day they made a compound that was just for this purpose.

[@splicezone]

Great work I like it that you don't give up even when times gets tough .....

voice over was great.

[@RESTORATIONRESCUE]

Hey great job and thanks for being a good mechanic and being a good person.

[@ROBJAKC]

I’m glad it worked out for her!

[@TX_Nano.]

You are a true gentleman and a solid mechanic. Kudos for helping her out and saving that one from the scrap heap. Made a good video series too as we got to follow the journey. I'm a few decades older but I remember putting the rear end of the Fiat X1/9 in the air to burp those cooling system (and the infamous Fieros as well).

[@macalcantara1895]

One of the few mechanics that care about the trade not the money

[@bobwolford5927]

Good job, man! You stuck with it and were most methodical.

[@stacydornan9765]

Your a good dude Ernest for helping the poor girl out,good on ya bro.Job well done my friend

[@joehomanick]

Hey Ernest you can use 3m spray glue to hold the gasket onto the thermostat housing . Also you can help get the air out by starting the engine turning the heat on medium and hold an idol about 2500rpm to 3000rpm until your heat is hot constantly . Great job 💯

[@chrishernandez2490]

Might as well just use rtv

[@ChiDraconis]

@@chrishernandez2490 Both RTV and the 3m gasket sealer work well often though myself with current design I use the *Permatex* branded gasket sealer *www.permatex.com/product-category/gasketing/gasket-sealants/?locale=en_us* since myself I have to keep it running

Sweet repair. I'm so glad you fixed it for her. Recently I had my truck in the shop for a vehicle speed sensor and they used all my fuel and drove it around for a week and a half All my friends kept telling me they keep seeing my truck all over town. And to top it off they didn't even fix it I bring it somewhere else and they fixed it in one day

You’re a great person and mechanic going out of your way to really help someone who needed your assistance/help, and you proved that not all mechanics are bad. Keep up the good work and best regards. Eifion, from the UK😊
