It was said on another video, but for the love of God please don't get under a car supported by only a jack! They can collapse in a second and pin you under. The car should be resting on jack stands before you put any body part under it. Using a jack works... right up until the second it doesn't, then you're lucky to escape with your life. Please be safe Ernest 🙏

Helping people at an auto parts store is a great way to gain new customers. 😁

Imagine if AutoZone were to create a new program, and hired Mechanics like Ernest, in an AZ uniform/ID badge, decaled van, tools, chemicals, etc. and mostly use AZ parts- and AZ dispatches them out. You know Ernest would be UT first hire! Young, decent person, educated, bilingual, already good Mechanic.

I know what you mean, though. Nobody catered to Immigrants back then. You learned English, worked at what you could find, and the Government gave you zero. Nowadays- every product has a English/Spanish label. Subsidized Government programs, incentives to come here. Jobs handed out. But remember- most are good, decent people, just looking for a better life, just like our Families once did. Sure, there are bad mixed in- same everywhere.

The reason you don't touch , halogen light bulbs, on the glass part is because the oils on your skin could cause the glass to break/shatter/explode with the high heat the bulb produces. Just make sure to wipe them with a cloth if you happen to touch it. Great videos, glad I found you.

This is awesome I started my mobile mechanic service back up again and took alot of your tips and it's working out awesome thanks brother

What a gentleman helping people. Great job sir!

a 6-8 in fuel pipe fit tightly over the spark plug is a must removing and installing spark plus general you can screw in 3-4 full turns at any angle knowing your plugs ant cross threaded saves dropping a plug down the plug whole and bending the tip removal great as its just a matter of slipping on the plug an undoing and lifting especially if you were not going to replace

Great Video Ernes, it was really nice the way you helped the customer at Auto Zone. Keep up the great work. Bryan

Hey never connect the minus at the battery first. u can have a short circuit if a tool sudenly hit the plus and the frame from the car. If u connect plus first and a tool suddenly connect plus with the frame nothing happens...hope u understand me

Great idea to add u helping out people outside autozone 👍

I have a set of magnetic spark plug sockets. I like them.

Hmmm .... I like to work on dirtbikes. I should look into a mobile dirtbike shop.

Hey Ernest, can you please please get some roadside rescue branded battery terminals to sell and use. It’s like the roadside rescue signature. If she has aftermarket terminals you know our man ernys been on the job. Just a nother job well done 👍

I have this same accord its so easy to work on and cheap. I love it!

Next time you get a "dirty" battery like that one- before cleaning, use your DVM, set to millivolts, and poke one terminal, then the other probe in the "dirt". You will see a "surface voltage". That is boiled away electrolyte, hydrogen sulfide gas deposits, from an overly charging alternator. "Maintenance Free" caps battery caps tend to get clogged with electrolyte; the normal production of hydrogen sulfide gas percolates this trapped liquid through the vents, spilling it on the batterie's surface. If this is happening, carefully pry off caps & rinse out electrolyte, then replace. *CAUTION: ELECTROLYTE IS CORROSIVE AND WILL BURN* If you defeat a label or crack something- the warranty may be voided. Correct additives are found at Amazon, just search "battery fluid". That's why you see older cars, around the battery the metal is all rotted- hydrogen sulfide is highly corrosive. AGM is all I use.

I wouldn't recommend opening and adding fluid to a battery. It will void the warranty. Working 4 years w/ advance auto parts, generally when someone has tried to add distilled water, the battery comes back bad.

You are awesome!

A piece of rubber hose maybe 12" on the spark plugs end helps to thread it in. Great work. You can make oil change stickers to advertise your business, and air fresheners.

Hi from New Zealand love your KZread channel.

That's a job well done. I can never understand why people let their tyres get to such a state!

Earnest “ Your not your self till you have your Snickers!

If you use dry lube instead of silicone you don't have as much dirt clinging to it because it dried almost instantly.

If you touch the bulb u can wipe the grease off with a clean rag.

Have you diagnosed the truck of yours at all? Also you can use the a length of hose that will fit on the tip of the spark plug. You can even start to turn it in with it. If it's starting to cross it won't go in any farther. I use 3/8 hose for this job.

Earnest, I saw you using needle nose pliers for those spark plugs. My dad has a tool which looks like a screwdriver handle, with a flexible shaft, and the end looks like a spark plug boot. It's meant from grabbing deep in those coil-on-plug holes. Next time I'm at his house I'll comment the brand and number of the tool so you can get one- I think they are a necessity for odd sized spark plugs

firestone wouldn't change out that air filter. They typically wait till there completely clogged and black or after 90k miles (or at least thats my experience with them).

Just a tip, the proper way to check ball joints and wheel bearings on independent suspensions is to support the lower control arms.

What do you mean by that? Like put pressure on it with the jack?

You won't experience any resistance using dielectric grease. It gets squeezed out where and there is metal on metal contact. Where there isn't contact it fills the gaps and inhibits corrosion that will turn into a problem if not inhibited. It does that without risk of inadvertently completing a circuit if it were to ooze into the wrong place.

Your the man

i would carry around a moving blanket or somethinf to put down when changing oil that way you dont make a mess in peoples driveway. but good video

I was thinking fir 8500 you should just get another truck. I looked and those are expensive! Motor swap is the way to go.

spark plug thread creates a great ground so dont anti-seize

I use the coils to pull out the plugs. no piers here.

10:59 almost disaster

Good content

For technical functioning it does not matter in which order you connect them. However for safety reasons it does matter. The whole body of the car is usually connected to the minus pole. And you can accidentally hit that body with the positive lead. So connecting the lead first is safer. Recap: Negative pole first: Whole car (except a few parts like the positive pole) are connected. Any mistake with the other lead will lead to a short. And car batteries are very good* at shorts. You really do not want this. Positive pole first: Only a small part of the car is now connected to power. If you mess up by touching the car with the other lead nothing will happen. Lastly: This might also be a habits for people who deal with electronics. Ground goes first. Always.

Hope you charge for those bulb changes 😆

I found a new mechanic, ones I move up to Utah… I will be giving you a call

Those tires are a bit bald lol... No judgement Honda owner.. I've seen the cords on my tires before.

Not sure who is servicing his truck, all bulbs, fluids, tires etc get checked every service in our shop. 😳

I believe in carma. When you help someone out, good things happen for you. At least it seems so in my life.

Some ramps & a Yoga mat 😉

Do you ever work on classic cars? No computers so you have to go old school. I removed the 454 in my old '68 Corvette. Rebuild it and re-installed. Same with my '69 Chevy C30. I swapped out the 327 with a 350 I had rebuilt and replaced the clutch. In LA County, it's illegal to work on a vehicle on a public street.

Have you ever thought about using pigmats, or getting a big drip pan? If I were an apartment manager I'd be pretty unhappy with the oil spots left behind. Better to not make a mess in the first place than to try to clean up afterwards.

What's your fine line between deciding on extras that the factory didn't use I I cringing hearing that spark plug being removed I usually would add a tiny mist of anti seize so I stand a chance in the future if I get the job again and its even worse next time

Idk why you never warm the car before draining oil. You can let it drip for a month and your still not getting most of the oil.

Sylvania Silverstars on a vehicle with completely clouded up headlight housings? Plus those Silverstar bulbs tend to burn out sooner than standard standard bulbs.

I imagine you do a lot off-camera, but I wonder if you checked the coolant level, transmission fluid level, topped off the washer fluid, and checked the lights. It seems the things I mentioned would be essential checks before making a road trip. Additionally, why did you not check the battery fluid level after determining it had been leaking? It was not a sealed battery and may have been low or empty. Thanks for the amazing content! I enjoy your videos and have been binge-watching them.

Noticed you disconnected the battery , did you have to input the radio code afterwards?

We go out to check & find out the customer was pulling out the high beams beacuse those are the easiest to get too lol

I had great pleasure helping people with mechanical issues in their cars but also felt guilty when I couldn't help , I used to tell people If I have the knowledge there's is no reason to charge for mechanic work since I had a different profession where I made my living. I would tell them get a quote and if you want to do it your self I can help you. It is hard to explain but I had to stop because I started to feel guilty and sad about hearing people even having to pay for parts. Last one was a car on limp mode due to bad selenoid pack in the transmission , transmission shop quoted $1200 we replaced the selenoid pack but it will have to take it to dealer to flash the pcm and relearned the shifting for $150 I felt so bad the lady had to pay for that and that I could not do it all even though the savings where great by us doing it, that's when I realized it was affecting me. Hard to understand but that's how I felt.
