She Should've Listened! Now it's a BMW Disaster

Hey Good People,
I have my little sister's BMW suv in the shop this week. Some of you may have noticed it before. I did a video tutorial on the water pump in the past. I've been telling her to get rid of that car! When it comes to these European cars, you have to pay to play. Meaning, the maintenance is expensive. Not to mention these cars have their common issues!
She use to have a Honda Odyssey, and in my professional opinion, it was the best vehicle for her. In this video I diagnose her vehicle and go over what the vehicle needs. I hope she starts listening to her big brother. I want the best for her.

I love the big brother "told you lil sis" vibe all through the video, especially when you showed her 'body repair.' ☠️ Listen to your older brother about cars especially when they a dang mechanic!! 😂

don’t want to put down any particular brand of car because I love just about all cars and I know many are loyal to certain brands but in my opinion the best vehicle insurance is to buy a Honda or Toyota product.

You’ll are speaking the truth regarding extended warranties. I purchased a warranty for my older car and I added seals and gaskets to my plan. Took it to the dealer for oil change and they informed me my valve cover gaskets were leaking. if it wasn’t for me adding that package to my plan I would’ve been out of pocket for that work. Needless to say you as a consumer will need to read the fine print

Preventive maintenance is KEY, parts aren’t that expensive but then again if you LET IT DETERIORATE over time then yes it will get expensive. That’s why I love working on vehicles. A lot times people don’t know how to work on vehicles and throw them away, I’d put an engine in that Grand Prix and ride all day long 😂

@michaelknight1980 8 ай бұрын

When it comes apart to your shop and you think it needs an engine but they insist on having you put it back together, thats when you ask for the 300 up front because if it turns out not to start you don't want to be stuck with the car and an outstanding bill for 300. Next time charge up front if your gut tells you motor is shot. What kind of customers do you have?? Where i live people would still pay their bill or be man enough to ask ahead of time if they can just give you the title for the outstanding bill

Regular tap water has stuff to mess up for cooling system? Agreed, to some degree the chemicals added to our tap water are detrimental; are you saying you use filtered water when you mix your coolant? Pretty sure prestone and the like use basic "tap" water. Regardless, running only water, and running a water rich mixture, will indeed cause damage as you stated

@ricebike 6 ай бұрын

Prestone and other brands use distilled water in their pre mixed bottles

@mikeschaner5853 6 ай бұрын
