I’m always amazed at how many customers truly believe that regular preventative maintenance is a scam. So many have told me “my cars always last 90-100k and I’ve never done maintenance!”. While that’s true and most cars will last that long my cars generally last 250-350k before I sell them and very rarely need repair other than regular wear items like tires and brakes. “The better you take care of your car the longer it will last and stay nice. The longer your car lasts and stays nice the more you will like it. The more you like it the better you’ll take care of it.” -smart car humans everywhere

well the putting the car into reverse when your driving down the street is a bad idea cause as scotty points out it can destroy your tranny as the automatic should not engage in reverse but as scotty has said that system can fail and then the tranny gets destroyed from that happening cause yeah if you tranny is working fine and you try it you'll figure out you cars in neutral not reverse but that is if everything is working properly cause there is a sensor to detect if the cars moving forwards and that tells the tranny go to neutral not reverse

First time I looked under the hood, I could not believe how clean everything was, especially since the car had been in storage for almost 15 years. Only things we did to do was replace the belts and hoses, rebuild the carburetor, replace one panel on the body, and flush and change the fluids.

Good maintenance gives good results. I own a 1991 Chevy C1500 Silverado (350ci)with 310,000 miles. Runs great. Tip for viewers: Check all fluids, oil, transmission, coolant tank, power steering, brakes and washer fluids when you get gas. When oil starts to get dark, time for a change. This is how I got 310,000 in my truck and it still runs strong.

Way back then, I had my tire shop tell me, since Nitrogen is a larger molecule, it's the O2 that's leaking off. "Great, then after I top up my tires a few times, it's a free Nitrogen fill!!!" He wanted to charge $16 per tire for nitrogen.

I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and my friends dad was a cop on the "rough side" of town. He said that a lot of the patrol officers would "accidently" shift their patrol car into reverse while driving to destroy their transmission. They would do this so that they would be transferred to desk duty and could get off the street. This would happen a lot when there was a lot of gang activity

Additional for auto-transmission drivers... If you’re in a collision that activates the airbags, put in neutral and use the emergency brake (handbrake in the UK). If you put it in park & turn it off, modern cars have a timer preventing you starting the car, and a lock on the transmission so you won’t be able to move the car out of the way for some time:- discovered this helping at a collision, & when recovery arrived about an hour later, he started the car no problem (timed out) but initially the car was in a dangerous place & needed police to put out cones etc.

I wish I saw this video 20 and 30 years ago!! I kept the turbos spooled up on my 2001 Audi A6 2.7T to overcome turbo lag and never let them cool down correctly. I replaced the car when fixing the turbos cost more than the car was worth. I also accidentally put my 79 Buick Regal in to reverse on the highway and then needed a new transmission. It never ran right again.

@ebnertra0004 2 жыл бұрын

I was going to coast down a large hill in neutral in a bus. I overshot and dropped into reverse for a half-second or so. The transmission was spared by the fact that instead of grinding the gears all to hell, it just locked up the drive wheels. The road was not the only place with skidmarks that morning...
