I like how you show realtime footage and not cut loads of bit out, very detailed I’m sure this way others will learn! Man that alternator is really hard to access 🤣

[@jeremiahhartley4566]

This guy is top notch with his professionalism and customer service I’m a heavy equipment field service mechanic for cat and one little tip I wanna give is get a single socket rail to put all your common used sizes on so you can grab that and there aren’t rolling around and looking for them in that tool bag that’s what I have done to keep them all together

[@johnbrewer7538]

Best mobile mechanic on KZbin for sure

Anybody can be a part changer. The master mechanic knows how to diagnose vehicles and electrical systems. That’s a good mechanic.

I did one of these and I did everything from the top. Took off a few more things but i never did anything from underneath. I enjoy your videos! Preciate the content.

Nice to see you sharing your knowledge with your nephew.

Robert I received the sticker from the giveaway. Thank you so much. You are a very patient man. Love your channel bro. No go on customer supplied part. Great job working with nephew.

[@pastorkristoffer4074]

That thermal looks like it could be a game changer. Especially diagnosing a cat problem. Brake calipers, bearings, that’s awesome.

Great to see Saul become an involved Apprentice! He's learning quite quickly.

[@jlbuf1flyer]

Even shops don't really like you supplying your own part and for obvious reasons cannot warrant. Keep up the good work.

so a quick trip to autozone or and the repair can proceed…… watch out robert your apprentice is catching on fast😅👍🏿

Love the videos... always great to see someone that takes care of their customers and does quality work

[@Robert-hd4ld]

Great video as always, like seeing how you install and remove parts on autos. Great work.....

[@roscoetanner5996]

Great job. I agree that you should buy the parts. It's less aggravation. Also, you are a great teacher for your nephew. Keep up the great work and videos.

[@RuthlessSpooky]

Great video Robert!! That’s why I always check the part to see if it’s the same before anything 👍🏼

[@billbarden645]

Love your videos bro. Awesome to see great skills and professionalism come together. Keep up the good work.

Just did a injector job on a duramax at a customers house and they wanted to supply parts and they ended up with 6.0 power joke injectors 😂 learned my lesson on that as well

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Your channel is blowing up fantastic. It is going great

[@jordan6556]

You should check the receipt of alternator and compair them 2

[@usmc_sgt]

I don’t blame you for not allowing customer provided parts. You already explained why.

[@richardabner9420]

Robert, Another quality automotive mobile video!

[@map7463]

Nice video. I can't blame you for no longer wanting to install customer provided parts. Imagine you put in an Amazon or ebay alternator, go through all that work and the thing doesn't work. That would have sucked.

[@dodgyjpt]

great content as always looking forward to the next drop here in the UK

[@Jawkneebee1975]

Great video, that is the stupidest place for an alternator!

[@pastorkristoffer4074]

They make worse. Ones that require to drop sub frames and other things. Vehicles are not built with repairs in mind.

[@darylmay]

I enjoy your video's. Keep them going

[@tomlopez5465]

Ok, so I am guilty of ordering my own part, an alternator, and had Robert come out to do the removal and install. On the phone, as we scheduled the appointment, Robert mentioned that he didn't like to install customer supplied parts. I assured him that I knew what I was doing...I used Amazon's "guaranteed to fit" feature so how could I go wrong. Well, just like in this video, when he got the alternator removed from my 1999 Mazda Millenia it didn't match the one I supplied. The part number on the box was the correct item number but the part number on the new alternator was for a Honda CRV. Although I could see a little frustration on Robert's face...he handled the situation like a champ. Since no place had the part locally, he said that If I get the car to his location he would finish the job at the previously agreed upon price. Lo and behold, I used AAA to tow me, my car and my newly delivered Amazon alternator to Quality Mobile Automotive to finish the job a few days later. Thanks Robert

[@QualityMobileAutomotive]

@@tomlopez5465 thanks for commenting Tom! This is the one I was telling you about and I didn’t learn my lesson lol it was a pleasure meeting you and working on your vehicle. I look forward to working on your vehicles in the future.

[@davelopez1730]

Awesome video ,I agree you shouldn't install customer supplied parts

[@onenikkione]

We came really close to buying a Focus back in 2013 but ended up getting a Hyundai Accent. yeah, I know all about the Hyundai issues, but we got lucky, had no issues with our Accent. Recently sold it for $4500.

[@renemercado8618]

Wow what a nightmare scenario. Do you get a lot of job offers where they have their own parts? Just curious. Thanks for the video and take care.

[@lewisfrank578]

I'm guilty as well with parts. My 2018 mazda3 was made in different locations depending on when it's manufactured. Oil grade was different. Sometimes we rush without verifying. Love your videos, keep it up

[@jamesskinaway6010]

Good work. Thank you for not saying jeeze.

[@AaronMDO]

I also shy away from installing customer supplied parts. Been in those awkward situations plenty of times, glad it worked out in the end though.

[@PeteBerman]

Rough location Robert! Sorry a bout those high fuel prices. Hello from kentucky.

[@kubakool5226]

That’s always the worst fear getting an incorrect part when you’re ready to fit

[@Dunamis_82]

Dang those cars have tight spaces to work on!

[@Itsshemp]

Thanks for the videos. In a really weird way I can't wait to have you do some work for me. I probably just jinxed myself!! Ugh!

[@eribertoquelix346]

Great video! I enjoy watching all of your videos and learning from them!

[@eaglevision993]

I really hate it when car manufacturers put things that are guaranteed to fail in an inaccessible spot. On my TownCar the alternator takes 7 minutes to replace, 3 without a beer break. And I am still on my first alternator at 280k miles.

[@yanceydavenport8657]

That might would have had to be a cash up front deal there!!.. you got the 80 year old son living in a junk car on the driveway,,with TWO brand new alternators,,,and the poor 105 year old Dad thats not home ,,and probably tired of the sons shinanogins!! Hahaha..

[@corescarmelo]

Because of euro cars having usually longer production times, it is common to see different engines with the same displacement and power but different parts and layouts. They are differenciated with 3-4 letters as engine identificators. Depending on your car, you can see them at a sticker near de timing belt. Then, you can match your part with the engine without much hassle.

[@SushiPac]

That scan tool is freaking awesome!!!!

[@sloppystooly5439]

Cool stuff. 10mm!

[@1944chevytruck]

GOOD JOB!

Boy that sounds like one pain in the ass car to work on😅😅

[@imready4thelaughs]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I agree that should be the last time you do a job with customer provided parts. Great angles you shared with us getting in those tight spots so we get a real feel for what's happening.

[@QualityMobileAutomotive]

@justcasey thank you! I definitely didn’t learn my lesson as I literally just had the same thing happen about 3 weeks ago. Now I promise no more customer parts 😂 thank you for supporting our channel!

[@imready4thelaughs]

@@QualityMobileAutomotive Thank you for the shoutout! Thank you TOPDON for being a sponsor of this channel as well.

[@roger2276]

Great video I love mechanics so I watch a lot of your stuff! Lately while working on cars myself I've noticed a bolt snaps or is stripped out you know.. I know this happens to all of us 😁 but my question is what do you do when this happens to you? Do you keep like a banner a tray or something with extra bolts in it while you're at jobs just in case lol

[@nobodyspecial-d5j]

maybe it's mentioned but do you collect a certain percentage of the overall fee prior to starting? in case they decide not to pay

[@BoostJunkieBrian]

Wow thats a nice one...very generous of them

[@ocskywatch1]

maybe ask to see the receipt for the new part before starting and or compare parts before wrenching

[@royburgess4720]

I love what you are doing mat

[@BigSmokeLV]

I will be buying a new car soon and have been looking at the engine designs and where are the components are located because this engineering going on is wild lol.

[@1chinaloa1]

another job well done. Keep up the good work.

last week i had to pick up a car battery charger at harborfreight, to replace the 50 year old one, from SEARS that I inherited from family. 50 yrs, thats quality. The harbor freight was DOA, would not power up. Back she goes, now where did that receipt go?

Why don’t you have the slip written up and printed before arriving?

Got a email sent in hoping I get a spot love watching your vids

[@yodead369]

TopScan is cool.. but I’ve it for a year… the Bluetooth disconnects a lot, it’s not as fast as you would expect; especially using it with a new iPhone. Sometimes the special functions don’t do anything .. even when they say they’re initiating, well nothing ever really happens.

[@FrazierMtnCheese]

Can you tell me how to replace the torque converter clutch solenoid on a 2005 Saturn Vue V6 Fwd? I cannot find anything on KZbin.

[@jeremyrapp9863]

Sad times if they negative about your work when they are the ones who went cheap route and it bites you in the ass. Exactly why I won't do supplied parts. It's just not worth the hassle or headache

[@richardabner9420]

another Quality video!

[@FrazierMtnCheese]

Man, I thought my 2007 Kia Sportage was a bitch, this is unreal 😳 And the wrong part on top. Your so awesome in how you handled this situation 👏 Lesson learned, Don't buy a Ford Focus 😉

[@guyray1504]

After the son got the second one out then turned around i was thinking does he have a 3rd one?.

[@COBRO98]

Yeah no, the moment that guy stepped out of his "Crack" zone in that car I would have just left without a word. You can't trust people on drugs.

[@Marcosvlogs847]

[@JohnDoan-iu7sm]

Engineers should be required to disassemble and reassemble the stuff they design. ( it will fit I sharpened my pencil)

[@RichardL.1453]

I have to ask. What could a scan tool possibly show that would make your mechanic not show you what it says. I have p0507, but he won't tell me anything else or just let me see what the code says. Need a new mechanic Just bought a 2004 nissan titan a couple months ago to fix up.

[@ToolsMethodsPhilosophies]

Sorry to laugh at your misfortune but this shit is funny. Most entertaining episode yet.

[@OldManFrank]

*They bought those alternators from the back of a truck.*

[@jeffbowlds1103]

That's so cool

[@brianbest2433]

Lol for the Scammers I ask for a credit card number, they ask why would they pay me? I answer with people call me when they need something so phone time is money. Cut way down on calls!

[@guyray1504]

The scammers ask " are you their ? and i say no i'm here,you are their and i'm here if you were here you wouldn't need to call me." Yes they hang up on me or say a few bad words as i laugh at them.

[@generalpurpose3276]

Definitely bit of an awkward situation.

[@wkeiter]

Hate when I have to explain to customers that we can use their part.
