Max Hiltin it’s just for looks and maybe protection from a misguided owner who decides to get the pressure washer out to “freshen things up”. Such practices get water in nooks and crannies and wiring, etc. and could set up corrosion that will manifest in a few months or years. Ask me how I know that LOL. Use the garden hose and put a plastic bag over the alternator (and distributor, if the car has one) and clean the engine bay with a can or two of Gunk, and have the engine warm (NOT HOT). Let it soak for 5-10 min and rinse. You may have to repeat once or twice if really bad, but make sure the engine is warm. The Gunk works much better heated up. Maintain it with a roll of high quality paper or shop towels (cheap paper towels will tear up and leave pieces behind on everything), along with diluted Dawn in a spray bottle and a can of tire shine, rather than spraying with the hose. Unless you have an oil leak or go off-roading or hunt, it’s easy to maintain. Chrisfix has a video on super-cleaning the engine bay and it’s well worth a look.

Love this channel .

My plan A was to be a professional soccer player and when that didn't turn out,Plan B and I am glad,because I have never 'gone hungry'. If I had to do it all over again?Hell yeah!

You do a hard job. I’ve worked on cars and trucks for years. Money’s good but you work for every penny. Good luck 👍🏻

Power to you man! People like you are a real lifesaver for people.

Hey, so glad I found your channel! Been doing the same thing but with bicycles since the start of the pandemic. Difference is I've got to carry all my crap on my back. Grind all day, get home, and eat one heavy meal. Stay safe brother.

@@hamanimohamed4506 The more you work the more you earn, that is being self employed if you work foe somebody else it's a different story, but when you pay all the stuff you end up keeping ends meet. Also you can make $5000 a month or more, but what's the use f the livingcosts, insurences an o ther stuff is high as well? You can have $600 and have better life than someone making 9000 in a country that is very expensive to live.

Because of your channel I finally bought a 79 p30 step van to do mobile mechanics thanks for all the knowledge

Incredible, whenever I touch the car it takes 10x longer than it should. small jobs are always a half day, big ones are always a full day. and a day of recovery. peace and love

I know people who do full engine swaps in a few hours. It's been taking me two weeks so far to do mine lol

When you're working on a car parked on the street, the idea some idiot could rear-end it while you're under or while you're standing between it and your van gives me anxiety. I'd place a construction cone and maybe a sign saying somebody's there 150 feet behind the car if I were you. Some bright flashing lights above the van's rear door would also be a good idea (I know you put the hazards on but to be honest people don't really pay attention to them). Be safe out there ! And get insurance if you don't have any in case you're disabled and can't work anymore. Shit happens quickly, I have a few friends who wish they had taken simple precautions like that... Great video !

I cant stand people watching me work. I had a guy tell me one time I was doing something wrong. I told him do you wanna fix it or do you want me too. He went in the house, got the job done, got paid, good day.

Tight videos man! It’s nice to see a guy not crazy over charging people like most mechanics do.

you gotta remember that's $500 profit, the $300 you get quoted is probably mostly from the actual cost of the alternator, those things aren't cheap

Cool trick at 15:03 to clean the rotor easily. My dumb ass used to fumble it around while trying to wipe the manufacturing oil off but not anymore!! Thanks! This is why I watch pros do work on KZread.

The REAL hustle. Im a mechanic too but being mobile, on your own, major respect to these guys, stress and liability hahaha. Keep it up dude!

Im going to a community college for automotive and i never wanted to own my own shop like i know others want. Maybe this can be a alternative for me. Thank you for making this video, and for working. PS. Respect+ for the goldfish

so glad this video came across my suggested feed, your an awesome guy and truthful honest mechanic! good things are coming your way for sure man! keep up that hard work

Not a mobile mechanic but I wrench on my own cars frequently. Nothing I own is newer than 1993 and they are so easy to work on. Also they are Volvo’s so the only thing I really have to worry about is breaking old hardware and plastics from the 80s. I also love that you can get a steak as a tip.

That alternator on the Jeep sucks because the people that design these vehicles don't have to work on them. Let a mechanic design the engine bay and stuff would be layed out a lot different I'm sure

Its true, but if a mechanic designed the engine bay it wouldn't be anywhere near as effecient of an engine as it should be. Easy to work on, yes. Effecient and effective, no. Just like if you let a Navy Seal design a house, he would design it with clearing or fighting in mind, therefore it would probably not be a very functional or comfortable house.
