It is a shame that the customer didn't bring his Tahoe directly to you. They would have saved a lot of money that way. Great job Eric.

Great job. I'm a retired mechanic, my favorite repairs were automatic transmissions. When electronics evolved, I asked my service manager to send me to all the electrical classes possible. That was the best thing I ever did. Soon I was diagnosing and repairing anything electrical from diesel engines to abs etc. There was a lot of years the other techs were scared of electrical stuff. In my book electrical diagnosis is very important. Thanks for the perfect video and how important it is to check the simple things. Mike.

Oh, man !! Eric, one of the things that I love about you is that you have integrity -- you always check to make sure that you're doing right by the customer. What other mechanic would go to the junkyard and get a part for a customer like that ?!? That is going way above and beyond for the customer. I wish that I was closer to you, to have you work on my cars. You are an inspiration to all good mechanics. Great job as always !!

I have been in this business for 40 years here in the UK. And always remember lesson 1, just because it is new does not mean it works. have seen to many people assume that and spend fortunes on other parts. Keep up the good work Erik you are a hero.

The best subject matter of your videos is sorting through the logic, troubleshooting. That makes these tasks less daunting to us who don't do this kind of stuff regularly. Those of us who follow you learn tons more than you realize by absorbing that. Thank you Mr O! (and Mrs. O)

Im a civil engineer, but i work on my all my own vehicles. I had a no crank no start, in my 2010 chevy avalanche. I learned a lot from you and my skills have ckme along way. I love how you dont throw parts at something to fix it. How you diagnose and prove you diagnosis! Ive learned a great deal from you and appreciate your time and effort you put into these videos. You and a guy named Diesel Tech Ron(God bless rest his soul and bless his family) are roll models to the mechanic industry. May God bless your business and bless you for doing what you do. I cant say thank you enough.

This is exactly why I never complain about paying my guy for repairs. He actually knows what he is doing and always fixes the problem.

I’m amazed that shops can’t repair it and still charge large money. They come to you and reason and skill gets it working. I’m sure you’re paid well, you sure deserve it all. It’s so nice to hear how you adore your wife!

Dang $2,200.00 and still it was broken. That is a sad rip off by incompetent shops. 😞

My first 4x4, 1968 Dodge W200. Two levers on the floor, mechanical linkages, 4x4 in/out, high and low range. No freaking servo motor, software, push buttons, etc. No problem!!

Once again , Eric has made finding the issue sound logical and simple. Where others were baffled. (Big dollar charges for being baffled)

“Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s good”, good thing you’re close to Wilbert’s! Take care

Another example of rip off shops that can't fix anything except clean your wallet. Great job always enjoy your analytical process. It's the key to finding the problem. Great job as always

I have a mechanic just like you. Does not go berserk, thinks of the customer, delivers the best solution and where possible avoids and recommends against unnecessary expense. As a result he has a loyal customer base and the word spreads for new business. Mechanics like you are gold dust ✨️

@guyneeser2029

I cant believe there are so many BAD Mechanics. You are the MAN. THANK YOU for your service!!!!.

Being a retired electrical equipment technician, I used to hate equipment that was brought to me after being "looked at" previously. It means going back through the work that other technicians have done probably incorrectly. Great work, Eric.
