[@adammiller6606]

Thank you Sarah for the bomb dignity play list. Woo!

[@jebidiahcarlyon3543]

I drink nothing but 100% Sarah-n-Tuned cleaning products when I work on my cars. Makes a huuuuge difference

[@cindysue5474]

But in recent years the buyers have seen more and more recalls and that's with all the Big 3 and Honda Toyota Hyundai it is just happening too often and the public is saying oh well it happens with all cars the automakers that's just being too easy on them.

[@jamielongworth2105]

Hi. I do ceramic coatings also. Actually trying to start a business. My question is how do you ceramic coat the frame? Or areas under the hood? Thanks so much! Your skills are amazing!

[@etackhelicopter]

Snap-on flush cut diagonal cutters. You went to sawing zip ties with that razor and all I saw was blood and heartache over nicked wires.

[@whispanic]

Sarahs attention to detail is what everyone wants and needs in an aircraft mechanic.

[@AllanSitte]

7-level quality. I would use 9-level quality, but all the 9-levels I knew never turned a wrench, so I have no context. You USAF vets know what I am talking about.

Three years? Wow… I remember when you first showed us the Bronco. I remember the wheels, the fenders…

[@andyny29]

Sarah, I can honestly say that I wish you were my mechanic. I’m sure a lot of people feel the same way.

[@dmg642]

100 %

[@bradbyers7505]

Several years ago I bought a new vehicle and it didn’t take long for the dash to show sun damage. Dealership said not to park it in the sun. I appreciate what you’re going through with the top on the Bronco. In the final analysis, the sun has been in existence a very long time and I think it’s incumbent upon the manufacturers to take ownership in this. It’s like saying the reason my boat leaks is because it’s in the water. Just my opinion.

[@confuseatronica]

hard agree, and I think it's reasonable to assume something they display outside at the dealership is sunproof, so the dealer is assuming customers will think so too. It's such a reasonable assumption that if it's not true, they need a warning sticker or something- not just having the dealer tell you if you ask.

[@garyjarvis2730]

The dealership assumes everyone who walks in the door is stupid. When they do that I usually put them in their place pretty quickly. If the dealer gets stupid do not be afraid to ask for a manufacturer's zone representative. I had an 86 Bronco II that started to peel paint and the dealer said, "They all do that.". Called in the Ford rep and they said, "No they don't." right in front of the service manager. Ford paid to have the truck painted twice since the dealer messed up the first time and Ford went crazy on them. If you are right stick to your guns and go up the corporate ladder.

[@lontarian2228]

Wow ! what a lame excuse !

[@adoreslaurel]

I thought modern synthetic materials had a big dose of UV resistant stuff in the mix?

[@uwusmolbean]

Wait, you actually put your boat in the water ? 😮

[@Oscarphone]

Sarah is 100% right about the longevity of cars. Back in the late 50s and early 60s it wasn't unusual for a car to need a valve job at 50 or 60,000 MI, it was expected. Oil changes were every 3,000 MI max. A car going 100,000 mi was considered a big deal. It was wise to sell your car at about 80,000 mi to get a new one. Now we have Toyotas all over the place that are for sale with over 250,000 miles still going strong. My Dodge caravan has 200,000 mi on it and hasn't missed a lick. My SVT has 147,000 mi on it and is still a stormer. Cars today are way better than old cars. They get better gas mileage the performances better you get more horsepower for the buck they last longer they look better longer and they have more features for in a for inflation-adjusted dollars still cost the same

[@marcusott2973]

In the 50s and 60s, there were garages near steep inclines that specialised in re-metalling main bearings and repairing radiators. Overheating and running main bearings was a common occurrence back then.

[@christophers.4007]

and with that all being said there are multiple car companies over the last few years that are either replacing the top end or ENTIRE engine of vehicles, because they are failing under 50k miles.

[@universaljoint]

And, if you have popular vehicles, it's crazy what, for example, a jeep will cost with 150,000 km + on it after 3 years of existence. And in medicore condition. At least in Canada. I presume maybe availability makes it a little less expensive in the US.

[@SpaceEngineerErich]

Agreed. German cars especially get a bad rap, but if one takes care of them, they can last for a long time. My 05 GTi has 180k miles on it and still pulls as hard as when I bought it 12 years ago. Aside from some electrical gremlins and a bad vacuum line, I have had no issues. But I do all its maintenance items on schedule, change the oil every 5k with high quality oil and filter. It doesn't take much time or money to maintain a car well.

[@girthquake1413]

Also how safe they are. Being in EMS I see crashes, and old vehicles literally tear apart like tissue paper once the speed and force goes high enough and the steel can't take the strain anymore. I've worked with several people who lost their front teeth going into a steering wheel or dash that wasn't padded with rubbers or plastics.

[@davidduran9388]

You're absolutely right. A vehicle is only as good as the person who drives and maintains it.

[@tonygiraldes7848]

Just the greatest content creator! Much respect for your balanced view of automotive content on KZbin 🙂 you’re just the greatest!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

I remember when I started as a mechanic in the early 80's that we would be working on every car every 12,000 miles. This is not including oil changes every 3000 or 3 months. Tune ups, valve cover gaskets, v belts all lasted about 12,000-15,000 miles in most cases. A tune up wasn't just spark plugs back then, it included adjusting carb, points and condenser, setting timing...A car was usually considered junk at 100,000 miles. Cars today are far more technical, more powerful, safer, lower emissions and far more reliable. Yet I still love the old stuff, like my 62 C10. :)

Your work ethic is astounding. Thank you Sarah 🙏 ❤

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Sarah is a talented lady, able to kill two rocks with one chicken.

[@riaanlouw1874]

Glad you mentioned the detailing products looking like a Periodic table elements, as that was the first thing that came to mind, when you first introduced it on the channel.😊

[@confuseatronica]

if its a periodic table of detailing, does that mean there will be hypothetical products and products that only last for fractions of a second? Can we infer the existence of future products by the properties of existing ones?

[@spoiler9112]

​@@confuseatronica No.

[@gordonwinter4540]

Smelling cables is another reason we all love Sarah

[@lanceripplinger8352]

That Bronco is the nicest, cleanest build I have yet to see any one else beat. Love those wheels!

I really enjoy the content of this video as a break from build videos. Your balance of video subject matter is perfect Sarah. Keep it up!

[@danseaman2257]

"... just goes to show some of us intentionally try to struggle with life" lol. Truth

[@Cokecan55d]

Sarah…love your attitude. Your videos are great motivators, and I really like the depth you provide with your work. Thank you for sharing!

Fear no automotive adventures with Sarah as your guide. There will be snacks. And Penguins.

[@thomashrubecky1663]

Let Sherpa Sarah be your guide! And your hero. (And also your penguin wrangler.)

[@iarpak]

As always, I am floored by the attention to detail. These vehicles are kept so clean. Watching Sarah has changed my attitude on how I work on my own cars. I now clean parts, covers, bolts/nuts, as I put them back. Did order the 3-pack of Sarah's products and will use them for the first time this weekend. Sarah's vehicles truly must be the best condition cars on earth.

[@aragonep]

Bronco looks GREAT!

[@D.A.B-w7n]

Sarah 5 is alive! That sounded better in my head before I typed it. 😳

[@FoloAnderson]

It totally works!!

[@kirknewton100]

You're absolutely correct. I have owned 3 Jaguars and 5 Peugeot, now on my 6th. All of those cars have been great. No major issues except for the normal servicing, tyres, or damage to suspension due to use.. (roads in the UK are poorly maintained). Manufacturers dont set out to design or build bad cars! Its not in their interests. Yes... You may come across a troublesome vehicle, its going to happen, it shouldn't but it does but its then up to the individual to challenge the garage or manufacturer to put the wrongs correct, especially if under guarantee. Just do your research before buying.

[@douglasboyle6544]

If it wasn't for one of your Celica videos I would not have discovered you, so thank you for choosing violence! 🐧👍

I like how you pop a graphic that tells us which element of your extensive periodic table you are using.

[@allanransby7119]

You are absolutely spot on: Maintenance and care will make any car last longer. It's really nice to see your entusiasm when you wash and polish this beauty of a car. Well done.

[@josephf.4540]

You are the BEST! I love your Spotify playlists, I love your jokes, I love you products ( just got my Bleep bloop whatever package) and I LOVE YOUR QUALITY WORK. You are THE BOMB!

[@3henry214]

I feel the exact same way about having some one else working on my cars, or just about anything else for that matter. I've had many experiences where I've had to redo what was done by a repair person, because of shoddy workmanship or just plain ineptitude . As a result, I've developed a big trust issue when to comes to letting someone gets their hands on just about everything I have. I just turned 71, when the time comes, I'm convinced it will in my garage with a wrench clenched in my hand. I love watching your work... a true maestro of mechanics at work.

[@donlew8222]

My '94 Toyota Pickup has never had any problems and is still my daily driver. Never stranded. Using Basic Maintenance. 👍

[@josephgervais-k8l]

I love the custom sill plates on Pokey!

[@SierraHomeAlternatives]

Love the way you thoughtfully plan out functional and modest upgrades that add to the vehicle driving experience. As opposed to upgrades that are money pits just for the sake of appearance.

[@thwipp101]

i used to work for a JL dealer for a long time. people constantly complain about the cost of a stealth box but they ALWAYS performed. buy once cry once.

[@markphilpot8734]

Hope that roof for the Bronco gets warranty covered. Of course you clean things first and tape over wiring. This is a Sarah video. Shortcuts and halfway doesn’t fly here pal. Say hello to take your time and do it the right way. That’s how Sarah does things and why we watch her. From the garage days to the present and beyond, no compromise, no halfway and no quarter for anything but do it right or leave it alone. Do things this way and you get viewership and keep it. Press on Sarah. Yeah buddy!❤️

[@DBVintage]

You’re exactly right about changing the oil more frequently than what the dealer recommends. They just want to sell you a new vehicle .

All these “experts” will argue they know better.. with their sludge deposit filled, oil burning engines lol.

[@douglasboyle6544]

Despite myself never wanting to purchase a first year vehicle I purchased a 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Mine was one of the first several thousand made and despite the horror stories of transmission failures abound on the internet I haven't had a single issue 3 years into owning it. Sometimes you get lucky.

[@bearddevil]

Your detailing products and their cuteness have actually gotten my partner interested in keeping her new car clean and shiny.

[@baldisaerodynamic9692]

im sure any car enthusiast will remember the E66 bmw 750li valve stem seals. I had one of these cars and the oil was changed every 4000 miles, and NEVER had any oil loss/valve stem seals failures. it was tied to people doing oil changes every 7500-10k miles. or as Sarah says, dont treat it like an appliance.

I caught those C-130s in storage as you drove to the dealer. They are the aircraft of my Air Force career, and like you, after 26 years of flying them, I have some hearing loss. I have to turn the TV up when the dishwasher is running in the kitchen. Maybe I need to get a quieter dishwasher or just upgrade the sound system in my Rav4. 🙃😆 And by the way, thank you for your service.

"look after your stuff" that is such excellent advice, I'm not kidding.

[@frankleespeaking9519]

Cars today (relatively speaking) are of much better quality than ever. I’m 53 and old enough to remember the carburetor engines with manual chokes, 3 speed transmissions, floor boards that rusted out after two winters, weak heaters, 8 cylinder engines that made 170 horsepower, and exhaust systems that were replaced every time we elected another president. There’s a reason they only had 5 digits on the odometer.

[@PeterFusco]

I never really thought about it until Sarah said that cars have always had problems. I suppose the extension to that is, did they have more way back when or more now? If I had to answer that question, I'd say, on par, cars today are much better than in the old days, especially when you consider how technologically advanced they've become over the years.

Frequent oil changes are critical for longevity. Our 2005 4Runner recently hit 380,000 miles and the engine runs like a top. Transmission fluid changes every third year along with brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant. We also regularly use chemicals; Fuel treatments and oil treatments.
