In your job it is a good idea. On engines that I have rebuilt myself I will sometimes pre-fill the filter if the filter is installed vertical. If you are careful there is no danger especially if the filter is filled before the engine is in the chassis. On a big block MoPar the filter is installed horizontal so pre-filling is not an option. There is always a danger of getting debris in the filter pre-fill or not. Trash could fall off the chassis as you move the filter under the vehicle. When I rebuild an engine I either use a good assembly lube or a mixture of my own making so rpe-oiling is not necessary.

Did you run the vin?

This has been proven over and over that people should NOT PREFILL FILTERS! Thank you for you post!

Who pre fills filters? Lol idiots

Brain dead driver states...

I think too many people think high beams are the headlights. I see countless cars driving around in the day with high beams on. Hopeless.

A good response to them is police issue led spotlights. They work wonders. One blast into the face usually does the trick. Unity makes some great ones. A bit pricy over halogen but mine are still going strong nine years later. I just hate changing lightbulbs.

@@JackReacheround tbh I have a 97 ford ranger. My headlights do not turn on unless I turn the turn dial switch. Not even high beams come on unless I pull to flash them. But there have been times I accidently knocked it into the high beam position. But if I'm correct, there had been 1 time I accidently drove around with high beams on not realizing they were till someone flashed back at me them thats when I noticed (at the time I've only driven for probably less than 1 year) but people that leave their high beams on while driving are the reason I keep my light bar uncovered and ready to use. Want to blind me? I'll blind you as well 😂 (only been driving for little over 2 years now)

@@JohnTheRevelat0r Yes just like d is for day, n is for night, and r is for race.

There's a saying in my place of work: "You cannot educate cheese"

It does make sense if one is that odd, to not notice he blinding others with his highbeam, it his right to do this. :-) land of the free

thats just...wow. i wonder what he would do if somebody else didnt turn off their headlights when they meet each other on the road, both cars completely blinding each other? does he turn them off then or think its completely normal to not see a thing until he crashes?

I don't know why it infuriates me, there's so much worse to be mad about, but really it's the disrespect these drivers have for others. Selfish to run high beams. Even frustrating when fog lights are on.

When I worked for Firestone, back in the 90's, they had a super-liberal Customer Satisfaction program going because mistrust in the industry had gotten so bad. Every new Associate had to go for Orientation Training - during which they taught us that surveys had shown that people considered taking their car to a shop as stressful as going to the dentist. This program was ridiculous - they would replace entire engines and transmissions if someone so much as hiccupped in a car after we worked on it and it counted against our monthly performance numbers and bonuses. One of the techs at my shop blew the transmission out of his Mustang while he was racing it and tried to take it to another store to have a transmissions service done so he could take it back and claim they had damaged it. He got as far as having the replacement approved before "someone" called the store and told them what he was pulling. Not only did he not get his transmission fixed, he also found himself unemployed. Thanks to people like this, mechanics have to be as distrustful of customers as the customers have become of the shops. It's one of the reasons I quit turning wrenches.

@@johnd5398 the way I view this stuff is if you don't trust a mechanic then do the work yourself. I was born in 94 so I never experienced the stuff in the 90s but the shops I've been to over the years haven't been bad and haven't tried to do unneeded repairs.

@@johnd5398 Knowing Firestone- I don't trust those crooks as far as I can throw a bull by the tail. A friend of mine was quoted $2200 for an oxygen sensor on an older Toyota Corolla. When I called for my friend they asked well how much money does he have? What scum!

Yeah. People at messed up. However there are some animal shops out there. In 2018 I bought a used Focus from a Ford dealership. 1 month in the car struggles to start. It ended being the transmission 80k south african. They asked me about warranty. I said no. I only had the car a month. My warranty ended up paying 20k. They put up the other 60k. Okay that's sorted. Another month goes by. The car is now vibrating/shuddering on the road. They tell me it's buckled wheels. Then another month or 2 or 3. Goes by and there's coolant leaking into the cabin. And I ended up paying 3k. This was a horrible experience. I had to threaten legal action. Because in my country. You have 6 months warranty when purchasing a vehicle. The dealership must either fix it or replace the vehicle. The focus is still driving but I don't interact with Ford at all. I service the vehicle at other local approved service centers. But all i know is. I'm not buying from them again.

Happens a lot in the boat world. Something about owning a $200k+ boat turns people into the worst types of ppl. And not a single one should be operating a boat. They're all morons.

Ditto. Worked for a corporation that asked me to up sell products. I only was there a couple years, but started to get customers that would ask for me specifically. One guy even said to me that if I tell him he needs anything he trusts me and would buy anything if I say he needs it. When corporate came down on me and brought up that I need to sell more, I said "I thought our motto was the one you can trust." the look on their face was priceless. But short lived, as it went, he came up with alternative. Where I wasn't allowed to say anything to customer unless they asked. Didn't work there much long after. Life is much more rewarding knowing you never screwed over innocent victims.

I suppose it must work for them, but as soon as a garage suggests a procedure I haven’t asked for, I’m going for a second opinion. And if it’s not needed, I would never go back to the original and I would let everyone I meet know that they can’t necessarily be trusted.

@@sampfister580 Right, dudes problems are bigger than that.

Its also the kind of shit that ends up opening a can of worms for the mechanic and the shop later on

What if the customer says that he recorded it after damaging the car, acting as if he'd just discovered it?

@@overmind06 It would come down to the burden of proof. It is always on the accuser to prove their argument so the shady customer would need evidence proving the damage wasn't present immediately prior to taking it to the shop.

@@GeoRyukaiser This is why the svc writer needs to go out with customer and do a walk-around. Can even video it but not needed. You mark down anything you notice that may be damaged, and customer signs it, and make a copy. This works great for the noticeable things. Like starting the vehicle also. If it does not start, you get a tech out there to do quick visuals. People suck and that will not change. Many customers have been screwed by auto technicians also. Works both ways.

Looking at this guy's job I can't even imagine giving the car for service of such a "professional". Luckily, there are guys like Wes at Watch Wes Work channel, who restore my faith in humanity...

Right there with you man. I got two suggestions. One is medicinal, a product called 'kratom' works similarly to an opioid although it is VERY different. The other you'll have to ask a neurologist about. It's an implant called a 'spinal cord stimulator' it sends electrical pulses through your nerves and cancels out the signal telling your brain that you're in pain. My pain is down 50% since the installation. Not only that, but it's a 'try before you buy' deal where you get a trial implant. If it works for you they install the real one a few weeks later. Even give you an iPod as a remote control, and they're both outpatient procedures even with waiting and recovery room time it's under six hours.

I’d let ray work in my Aventador svj with those gloves if I had one. I’d even let him finish his lunch in it.

Oh yeah, OCD enough to leave dirty oil on the oil filter flange instead of wiping it off and lubricating the oil filter gasket with clean oil (10 seconds job, but in full accordance with manufacturer guidance), or leaving the old oil plug gasket instead of putting the new one (omg, it costs 10 cents!) - is that the OCD? People here are talking about "don't buy a car if you can't afford to service it", but whats a point in affording THIS service? He always puts oil "all the way, to the max mark!" - but this is wrong! There are manufacturer specifications on how much oil to put! And if it is an auto service they should have software to pull out those specs in seconds! And I've never seen the oil change recomendation that say "fill to the max" - they all say "between min and max". Because when oil heats up, it expands, and if it is at max there's nothing good. Those marks put there for a reason.

@@denru8366 NO

I wish I could find a technician as competent as Ray near me. Driving to Florida (from Wisconsin) for maintenance could get expensive lol

discount racing slicks given the rest of the car . you know "race car"

@@briwire138 It is recommended to replace tires when you have 2/32" of tread left. Which is where the wear bar markers are on the tire. These tires were into the wear bars and past the safe to drive life of the tire tread.

I knew someone like that. He had a Trans Am for a while, and there was always the smell of raw gas in the cabin. He had enough money to buy the "status" of such a car (or probably borrowed the money at predatory rates), but not enough to get it to be safe. When I told him a tire was so worn that I could see some steel belt exposed, and it was really a matter of life or death to replace it, he got angry and said he couldn't afford it, and if I thought it was so important I could pay for it.

State of Florida does not require inspections. You see some crazy stuff down there.

@@garyh4458 A lot of states don't have any safety - or emission - inspections. When I lived in Pennsylvania long ago, the twice-a-year inspections were done by repair shops, which created a conflict of interest. They tended to find a lot of loose ball joints. In NJ, the state does annual inspections, and they tended to find mis-aimed headlights. Minnesota and Wisconsin have no inspections at all.

100% agree that is either a brake failure or tire blow out waiting to happen which is dangerous conditions to drive with and karma

Tires gonna pop, leave his ass in the ditch.

Was she at least cute?

Me - The simple reason people are so skeptical about car salesmen and repair shops is that they have been burned (or FEEL that way) so many times. Unless they are working a set-up, in which case they need to attack you.

@@stevejette2329 You are right about this. I’d just like to add, being a woman, years ago, I was definitely cheated by some mechanics. I take excellent care of my vehicles, “Thanks Dad, Rest In Peace.” Luckily, I knew some about vehicles, or I had plenty of friends who knew a lot when a shop was trying to take me. Usually it would be a lot of upselling, that didn’t need to happen at all. I have really had to work on being neutral walking into a mechanics shop. I really wish there were required classes taught in school, to everyone, about auto basics and the do’s and don’t’s of finance, imo.

Before bringing your vehicles in to a shop, buy yourself a OBDII scanner for testing your check engine lights. And KZfaq every issue or possible issue and see what numerous videos have to say cause it’s not always the same, but typically the vast majority will point to one thing as a starting point. Over half the time the repair is simple, part is cheap, and repair can easily be done yourself.

Agreed with LJ. An OBD2 bluetooth sensor is similar to nothing in price and may help you a lot from maintenance to repair or getting out of a bad situation. Just recommended today to have a simple box of things you know how to use, like a insulation tape, some wires, a knife and a plier, etc. This things are the most helpful when unpredictable and small things happen, like crushing the side mirror and not having time or where to replace it, etc. It's nice to read comments like yours, you dad would be proud of you for sure! Our family is what we have of most important in life. Best regards and have a nice week!

My dad was a Squadron Commander and he was the same way...BUT he refused to buy us a car at 16 or anything else. He was trying to teach is a work ethic. If we wanted something he told us to go get a job and earn the money

@@LJT9393 spot on with your comment. I bought a cheap obd scanner when my wife’s car broke. It would idle fine, but stall as soon as I hit the gas. Obd said throttle body issue. A quick KZfaq search and Amazon throttle body for $45 and I had it changed in less than an hour. Worked just fine until we traded it in a year later.

I thought I was crazy. My eyes have become a bit sensitive to headlights at night, but I knew there was no way in hell people weren’t using high beams on lighted highways and roads I drive. Tickets need to be issued for that nonsense.

A pet peeve of mine is using lights incorrectly. I.e the name is written on the tin (for the most part) Fog lights are for fog Park lights are when you're on the side of the road. Dim/dip is for when cars are line of sight. Full beam is for when you don't see cars in line of sight. Also that if you are going to have your lights on for visibility of your car to others, put it on dip and not park Some front park lights are potato and do nothing for visibility while driving. The only part that'll stand out is your rear!

I’ve been on both sides of the argument. I took my ex wife’s explorer in to the ford dealer that her father worked at for 35 years. It needed an oil change and tire rotation. The service writer called her to give her a list of about $2500 worth of work that it needed, including a new battery. Luckily, she called me before approving anything. I had just replaced the battery two months before with a brand new Die Hard. The car only had about 40k miles and was about 4 years old. I told her I would pick it up and not to worry about it. I was handed the list of items from the service writer and said, “Show me how this needs a new battery.” He grabbed his tester and opened the hood and said, “Shit.” I said, “Now how much more of that list is complete bulls***?” It “needed” brakes, tires, battery, serpentine belt, and rear wheel bearings. The bearings were replaced under warranty the year before when the rear end was replaced. The tires were replaced the year before and had about 8k miles on them. The brakes were still over 50% and worked fine. My father in law bought a new vehicle from them every year. One year for his wife and the next year for himself and rotated every other year. After telling him what happened, he spoke to the owner, the guy he worked for for over 30 years and the owner tried to throw it back on me, like I was wrong. I brought the car back with the list and showed it to the owner and his son (the GM.) I showed them the list and the lack of evidence and they proceeded to back their service department. I told them that they could kiss our whole family’s business goodbye. The son proceeded to raise his voice and get ugly with me and I told him that I was going to cause a scene in the middle of his dealership if he didn’t calm down. He not only lost our business, he lost my in-laws, and a few of their extended family. Fast forward 15 years and I run a company that services construction equipment. You wouldn’t believe the crap people try to pull on a professional. Like trying to get a 2 year old pump replaced under warranty that’s never had an oil change. Or trying to blame us for a bad electric motor that they tried to run on a generator that’s too small for the job.

@@brianhall4182 and then when you finally have a use for something in there I totally convince myself "see, that's why I've kept at that stuff, I knew I'd need it one day"

@@Mr.Meme01 Plus you always retain an encyclopedic knowledge of everything in that drawer down to the last thumbtack yet you can't remember what you literally just put on your grocery list.

@@brianhall4182 exactly, I was literally just thinking about this, not sure if it's a guy thing but I have great spacial memory, I can remember where I put the most obscure little thing that I haven't touched in a year or remember roads I've only driven once. But damn if you asked me what I did last Wednesday I couldn't tell you 😂

We've owned a small rural garage for 40 years. You should see my husband's back room!!! 😂😂😂

So many lost 10mm

lol thought that too wtf is it with 10mm sockets.... jesus's car must be put together with all 10mm bolts and he cracks them all the time working on it he needs to steal ours lol.... he owes me like 50 10mm sockets in the 41yrs ive been alive

A coworker of mines doesn’t drive. He bicycles everywhere. Sunny, rain, snow doesn’t matter to him. He’s got a huge collection of 10mm sockets he finds on the roads. Also wrenches in various sizes, pliers, screwdrivers. He has yet to find anything from a truck brand but he’s hoping one day.

@@Torontodude20000 thats funny he dont have to buy tools lol

@@dustinsalta3122 I think my car still retains a 10mm socket somewhere in the dark unreachable recesses of the engine bay.

But THEN he realises the customer is a douche bag after getting the car to even turn over, for free. No more free stuff for him. The car should not even be on the road with that combination of brakes, tyres, and driver.

Just rewarding a bad customer

He almost had to, unless he wanted to tell the customer that the car isnt moving into the garage without payment.

Agreed

because people are too damn stupid, school and culture teaches them nothing of value, whereas back in the day you were taught to care for and value what you have manuals etc were given to you plus repair was taught. Now adays everything is dumb, nobody knows how anything works and theres no incentive to know or care, the perfect consumer society. This is why the cars get neglected not because they can just trade in for a new one, but because they dont know shit about the thing that drives, but because nothing teaches them about ANYTHING. people these days barely can tell you what gravity is hell we have people believing the earth is flat ffs so yea

Believe it or not, that particular car is really easy to maintain. Whatever Ray did, you can do all of it yourself in your driveway. Only a few minutes every few months.

@@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA I mean, it would probably help if owners actually read the owner's manual...

It’s so many of ppl in my school as senior or just graduating n they starting to get into buying they own cars n stuff half of them just buy a used luxury car for cheap trying to flex n don’t have half the money to fix a meaningful thing in the car n I be like bark just get a lil Pontiac or lil civic n wait till u can get dat car there like bro I ain’t driving that I’m like Igh have fun driving them cars bout a month n never again

Only if it targeted the stupid but they seem to be getting by.

I have got a feeling that Covid is going to keep mutating until it gets us. No point in vaccines if they cannot protect against new strains occurring every other week, and none protect against transmission. Let’s hope one of the mutations attaches itself solely to the crazy gene, a huge bonus. 😆

I only started learning car repair last year when I bought my very first car. I needed something to kill the boredom during the pandemic, and I've always wanted to learn how to work on and modify a car. I'm only a year older than you! 😁

The “vaccine” is taking care of that problem

I’m 13 and have helped my dad in the garage from as young as I can remember! I’m not super hands but after people like this I feel like a genius 😂 (I know I’m not but want to go to school for a mechanical engineering (big dreams, one day at a time, right? 😂)

The worse thing I can say about a repair shop is poor customer service. I don't have time to babysit a shop. If you say you are going to do something, do it. The customer should not have to come to the shop every week to get answers on how the repair is coming along. A phone call works wonders.

Unfortunately a lot of mechanics get preyed upon by their shops too, I offered my 20 years of experience for 50$ an hour minimum 2 hours if I had to travel ...over 6 months I only got 1 call. I told the guy I could do his rear brakes for 75$ plus parts (high end heavy duty rotors and pads, with dot 4 fluid and bleeding no questions asked, for the price of medium grade o'reilys junk)dude said my prices were suspect. I told him if he doesn't want to pay 215$ all in for a $400 dealership job before parts that's his loss, and apparently that makes me a piece of shit.

@@mikehannigan848 Have had same experience, get this it was with my father!

@@trtj200 What a slap in the face ,my dude.

Its because of that KZfaq video of the undercover investigation of predatory quick lube shop
