I put new rotors and brakes 3 months ago and it started again

Hey, Andy! Loving your videos as always! Andy, I have an unrelated debacle to your video. I am currently driving a 1998 camry,which has 136K miles. My parents got this car brand new in '97, and they have been the only owners of it for 26 years . The car has never had a transmission fluid service nor a differential service in all it's life. Currently, the transmission is slipping, and it's been getting worst. Sometimes when I put the gear in "D", instead of driving the car will reverse, and other times it will take almost a minute for the car to drive even when pressing the pedal to accelerate. The fluid level is normal on the dipstick,but the color is dark brown . Should I drain and fill the fluid? Many sources tell me "No" because of the fact that the service has never been done for the age of the vehicle and it's current mileage, as they say it may slip worst and that clutch,seals, and debris will get worst,while some say I can just drain and fill it without any problems as long as I do not flush it, should I drain and fill it,which I am tempted to do, but I am just afraid of worst problems and having to buy a new transmission, which will be awful! I am really confused on what I should do .

Nah...your good 👍

$150-200 for QUALITY labour per axle is a great deal. I’ve payed more for less quality

Rusty mess now you see it now you don't ! the Bug lives another day

Anyone can charge what they want, but what the customers are willing to pay is the difference. If you are charging too much for what you are producing, you will learn what is right pretty fast. If people are paying without problem, then you are charging what you should.

Yep

Brakes are easy to fix yourself, this guy is a scammer !!!!

Jesus looks like u were making icing on a cake lol 😆 😂. Does that stuff work? I did front brakes on my 07 fj cruiser and still have a squeal.

New E46 onwer...I'll be sure and save this video lol...thanks

You can't be serious!

$200 wont even cover parts in 2024; at least nothing I would put on my car

Moral of the story learn to fix your own car and replace parts yourself 200$ for a break job does it come with a sucky sucky or what

Tried it. Doesn't work. Use a good brake grease on the shims.

💯💯💯👍✌

Objective point/crtic. He is charging based on eg. Why do I say that? If you set aside all his talking (not ignore) when servicing the hardware kit he lubricates under the contact points instead of the actual contacts points. Why is that important? Well those clips will always pop out but the pad that is sliding will not always move smooth

Let me know what you guys usually do in the shop. We usually put ant seize between the shim and pad and where the pad backing touches the bracket. Non of that stuff is there when the car comes back so 🤷(Lmao what if it smokes off while they drive). We use the included grease on the pins(grey). We always turn or replace rotors. When we turn we don’t do a multi directional finish on the rotor but always a slow final pass. I try to use the oem hardware if it’s on the car. If it’s not there or damaged I use the included hardware. If I can I push the fluid back into the reservoir if not I use the bleeder bottle. I break them in till I smell them a bit and then cool while rolling.

If it's just flux core gasless, you don't need the copper looking shield that's only used if you use gas on the end of the gun with that taken off you get a better look at the wire coming out 👍

Learn to do your own brakes cuz $800 for a brake job is wild

This guy is an overpaid drama queen

Thanks for a great video. I'm getting ready to do this myself at ~50k, last done as a warranty replacement for "noise issues" when reversing at 28k. Is your Launch OBD tool the "2024 Elite Launch X431 Full System Bi-Directional Scanner for Nissan..."? I've read that this specific Launch tool will actually do the EPB reset.

Great video Andy keep more car repair videos coming !

👀👍🏼😎🏁🏁🏁

Ceramoc pads and cut/new rotors

Andy au naturale... Thanks

some bullshit. A high schooler caring about his car will also never do a hack job and will put in all the effort and attention to detail.. Bro never grew up and wants 200 bucks an axle, "axol". Also globbing everything with grease doesn't make it any better. Just makes a bigger mess for the next guy. Who won't be you cos hes not charging 200 bucks an "Axol".

They make a air hammer attachment for a pickle fork so this doesn’t happen

Per axle? Holy crap I do $40-50 per axle. Rotors and pads and i do everything you do here too. Been doing this for 16 years

Are you using a high temp ceramic brake grease? Or is silicone completely diffeeent

Don’t get it twisted you ARE in fact overcharging you’re customers and the quotes on dealerships have NOTHING to go off of how about you go to a regular mechanic shop and you’ll see how much better prices they are

You’re just a mechanic dude relax

150 damn fella

I love the rust belt and I love it when the boys say, "Frick it, bring the fire"

Just swapped out my rear discs+pads on 2019 CX5. Perfect guide. ❤

This stuff works wonders

ugh... ????? only info we had was U did a break job.. on a VW... parts? brands? did you use premium OEM parts? or advanced/autozone cheapo specials? Would i pay 200? yea.. for good parts.. would i pay 200 vs 50 for the same shit parts.. nope

When you are paid by the hour as a mechanic 😂

What kind of grease is he putting on the center bore?

You don't bleed them brakes

I never lube the piston/back of the pad only the sliders and pad ears and wire brush thoroughly and i never get brake comebacks

Not at all, extremely fair prices...

Oh you definitely silenced her vibrations with all that “Lube”🤣

😂😂😂😂350 dollars, what are you crazy first time I did it myself, it cost me one video from CZcams

Extreme pricing. What do you do apply gold flake. Your over charging.

Or stop being lazy and do it yourself to save $200

I’ll never pay for $200 per axle. If that becomes the norm. I’ll buy the equipment and do it myself.

If you are using a torque wrench on those caliper bolts, youre not showing it. You might have overtorqued everything.
