Road To AAPEX Ep. 4: How Modern Automotive Repair Shops Have Evolved
Automotive repair has come a long way, evolving from its humble beginnings in blacksmith shops to the high-tech environments of today’s repair centers. What once involved manual labor and oil-stained books now benefits from advanced diagnostic systems and streamlined processes that make life easier for technicians and shop owners alike.
Technicians at Automotive Customs in Valley View, Ohio, for example, no longer rely on cumbersome paper manuals or scattered notes. Instead, they work with comprehensive digital systems that allow them to quickly diagnose issues and identify common faults in vehicles. Follow Joe Keene, an ASE-certified automotive technician, as he goes into the bays of Automotive Customs to see how technicians seamlessly move from diagnosing fault codes to ordering parts and estimating labor times in real time.

And tire stores have to keep up on both fronts. TJ White, general manager of Tire Source in Fairlawn, Ohio, doesn’t want his ...

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s a common adage we hear in the corporate world to keep processes moving. But for tinkerers, taking apart something that isn’t broken is all part of the fun. They want to see how everything works when it ain’t broke so they’ll be able to fix or modify it later. Business owners and managers also need to be able to tinker - with their own companies.

Audra Fordin: Empowering Customers With Auto Knowledge

    Thanks for this video. All the others tell me what I already know. I just purchased a 2016 suburban with 2 working transponder keys. Wanted to have additional spares so purchased 2 blanks online. Had them lazer cut but the locksmith was unable to program to the car. Your video suggests he should be able to see how many keys are programmed using a scan tool. Is this correct? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I’m changing my truck’s brake pads and was wondering about whether or not to buy (IF I can find them) new hardware / pad mounting clips. This vid helped me decide to go ahead and buy them. Next challenge is finding them - I bought the pads but it came without the hardware. 🙁

    TIP -- Don't try to go cheap on your caliper grease!! I use Permatex Synthetic Brake Lubricant, $25 for 8oz. My Ranger went a year between brake inspections, had the good grease on the slide pins and the hardware, still slide the caliper back n forth by hand! Have used cheap grease before, brakes failed, the grease looked like dog turds and nothing was lubricated!!

    So believe it or not, my cabin filter from Amazon does not have any arrow. how the heck do if figure out which is the right way to put it? I am guessing flow is "downward". So I can look at one side vs the other of the filter to figure this out? Maybe color? I have a toyota highlander FRAM filter

    Spray on liberally pb blaster the day before. Next day warm up the cat then spray on more pb liberally, then bang the sensor with happier several times. Do that three or four times. Sensor will loosen up now. I used the o2 sensor wrench available for free use from autozone.
