What my mechanic shop told me would take them 1/2 hour to do, and cost me $80 ~ took me less than 15 minutes & less than $6 to do myself! Thank you SO much for your tutorial!

The shop might do a more thorough job (check things out etc.) Also their time estimate has to take into account unexpected issues. They'd prefer to over-estimate than under-estimate.

@TM-fx5le - quoting $80 on 1/2 hour labor and a few dollar part is the thought process of someone scaring away business, especially when a novice can do it in 10 or 15 minutes and without a lift or special tools. I understand there has to be meat on the bone but that's breaking the bone and sucking out the marrow. Had he quoted $50, maybe he would have made $50 and found a repeat customer. Mechanics need to accept that the information age has devalued their service under some circumstances when it comes to the easy jobs. Fair quotes can turn easy jobs into bread and butter, especially when they don't necessarily even need to drive the car into the bay, lift etc. Conversely, internet word of mouth can keep the business flowing with honest shops.

I’m a 98 year old retired fisherman, thank you for making it so easy. My mechanic quoted me $175 plus $33 for parts. Thanks again

Hey Strange Garage, just wanted to say thank you for this. You demonstrated the job in such a way that even someone with zero experience could pull it off. Have a happy new year!

Too my car to get the battery changed since the bolts where not coming off, was told i needed to strip the wire and get a new negative terminal, i didnt understand the guy at all and felt pretty intimidated dealing with cutting the wires, but after watching this video i now feel pretty confident about doing

Thanks for simplifying it with the every day tool set most people own.

Thank you! This answered all my questions, as I was hesitant to cut the terminal wire! Now I know I can.

Best, straight to the point how to ever! Thank you! 🤘

Thank you so much for being on you tube you have no idea how simple that was I cannot wait to buy those parts

Thank you for your help man. Such a simple video and gets straight to the point. You're a real one fam for real. Keep up the great content

Thank you so much, my car wouldnt start and had been having connection problems for a year and went through batteries and having to get jumps to having to move the battery at times when it didnt start to this. It took me 4 days and felt like giving up on my car completely but remembered the dream i had last night of me fixing my car and it starting and sure enogh it did. It was the best feeling to know i saved money and was determined to do it myself.

Thanks a lot this video helped me out replacing the old terminals that weren’t able to tighten anymore making my truck unable to turn on.

Thank you really because I most definitely can't afford the professional tools I saw in the videos before and you gave me hope! 🙂

Besides the fact that you used non mechanic grade tools, I truly appreciate how you get right to the point.

I guess I suck at life. I didn't watch your video before I replaced my battery and terms. However, just looking at it the terminals, you can see what you need to do. Also, there is instructions on the back of my terminals that I bought. The instructions say what you explained, except for the clip that holds the cables. I figured that out, again , just by looking at it. WEEEEELLLLL, guess what? My car didnt start. Cant figure out why. Had it towed to a shop. YAY ME! One thing, your video was good! Thanks :)

The package for these terminals says they are for temporary use only, and they will corrode as much as the ones you cut off. So, unless the old ones are REALLY in bad shape, they will work as well are the new ones, once the corrosion is cleaned off. Still, you did a great job here and with your other videos. Thanks.

Once the oem terminals are so badly corroded, they should be replaced. If the replacement terminals corrode after several years, it's easy enough to replace the terminals again.

I agree. Looking at the video it appears to be a Toyota that he is working on. If the positive cable terminal is broken and needs to be replaced you can get a new terminal without cutting the cable just unscrew the nut. On the 1988-2006 Toyota Corolla's the part number is 90982-05035. It's faster, easier, and not a temporary fix. This style connector is also used on Nissan cables. Happy Motoring. .

The wires can sometimes be replaced or "spliced". Best left to a professional honestly because it's going to require a lot of tools. You should have enough wire though.
