- In a previous video • Toyota Camry - Crank, ... I looked at a Toyota Camry that was towed in for a no start. We made the call on the fuel pump and the car was towed away for a cheaper fix. Welllll.... it's back 😏! -Enjoy!

When he goes to sell it, ad will read 260,000 miles, 70% highway, 20% city, 10% towing.
And a new to me fuel pump
Lmao😂😂😂
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
He will also say “new” fuel pump. Guarantee it.
Now that's funny right there, don't care who you are!
I applaud the car owner for helping to put a tow truck drivers kid through college.
😂😁💯
The longest distance between two points is a shortcut.
"Not my fault, nor my problem" is the best quote when they don't believe your diagnosis! I've been there brother!
I used to rule out a new part being part of the problem. That is, until I bought a brand new faulty fuel pressure regulator for my Trans Am and the car still didn't run right.. it was at that time that I realized not to turn your back on a part just because it's new.
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Fabian Dexter Instablaster :)
@Rene Aldo I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Rene Aldo it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
A good 1/3 of being a mechanic these days is knowing where to source parts and where to avoid
At least you didnt have to drop the tank.
That would be a big pain. Its best to stick with oem on hard to reach items
all other oe should take pump access notes
@@broken1965 Subaru are like that too
Right?! Was gonna say I think most modern Asian and some German cars get you access through the back seat cushion
That tank looked full. Thankfully he didn't have to drop it.
Finally some engineers who designed an access panel to work on a fuel pump without dropping the tank.
They only thought of that after they designed and built my '94 and '97 Celica GT-Fours. 😭
Many vehicles have setups like that.
many if not all of the hyundai's are like that, pull back seat, pull panel, unhook, lines, connectors and unbolt the retainer ring, away you go in 20 minutes tops....
now, the dealer fuel pump module was ugly in cost on the first one I changed ($400 range) but they managed to have it on a Saturday evening after hours and waited for me to pick it up.
like all bmw's after 70's?
How many peeps knew this car was coming back besides me? I laughed when i got the notification for part 2!!
Stephen McGowan me too, did Eric add the part 1 to the first part later?
Same
I had the feeling too. How much did Eric say that guy paid for that pump, it was very little I believe. Yeah, I knew that wouldn't last!
i saw the notification and just shook my head. lol
The fact that he tried to blame you would not go down well with me...
Thats why he got charged again for diagnostics.
Remember, the vehicle owner is not a mechanic. He got a new pump which did not work. It is understandable that someone would question the diagnosis. He did pay the bill, so he knew he was wrong, but there isn’t anything wrong with asking questions. This guy got a raw deal, but not by Eric. No one knows his financial situation, including me. Rather then everyone dumping on a guy you don’t know, why not instead try to be considerate to a situation you know nothing about.
Rick Gaine but he found the money for all the tows and the repair I feel he learned a valuable lesson from life
@@rickgaine3476 understand where you're coming from, but this isn't exactly where you come if you want sympathy. What was provided was a big old cheap ebay junk special. He's going to get roasted, no questions.
Assuming the customer did not pay more than $75 for the used part he may still be slightly ahead over a list price OEM fuel pump for at least $700 even with $270 of towing and one repair two diag hours, assuming he gets his shipping and ebay parts costs back.
Who else laughed when they saw Eric holding the fuel pump in the thumbnail lol
Dave I just knew I would be coming back by how the last video ended 😂
May be one of the most expensive cheap fuel pumps in history.....
When I saw part 2 pop up in my notifications I had to click it after watching the first and how he said he was going to install and eBay pump.
A good mechanic can fix a lot of things but not even a great mechanic can fix stupid. Keep up your awesome work ethic Eric. Always a thumbs up from me.
A new customer and the cost they paid to "believe" in the new mechanic. If there is a next time, and likely there will be, they will not likely question Mr O. With two tow trips and the efforts they went through having "a buddy" try to repair it, they had eventually put some trust with this shop. Could be this will be a return customer one day. Just another validation to prove some after market parts and "lifetime warranties" aren't worth much when you are on a rural road and they fail.
The worst part of being a mechanic was dealing with people. Theres always someone who doesnt trust you, snd thinks youre trying to rip them off. Its from being screwed over by other shops. Some people are just cheap. Theyre old school, and expect old fashoned prices. Most customers are good though, but theres always that one???
LOL, thought he would be back, considering the quality of his "mechanic's" previous work, and his cheapest attitude which cost him more than just getting the job done right the first time.
Don't judge Scrooge for he did not know he was in the presence of the master.
Owner had to be jewish lol
Sounds like my previous place of employment. No time to do it right the first time, plenty of time to redo it twice or thrice. Sad.
I sold aftermarket parts for 13 years and we never had a problem with Delphi fuel pumps. The only problems we had was the cheaper no name reman fuel pumps that the customer wanted.
Good job Eric. I can see if hes stuck for cash been there before. In spanish theres a quote that goes “Lo barato sale caro”. Meaning whats cheap turns out to become expensive.
I applaud your soft demeanor when having to deal with customers like this.
He has to. Avoca has 900 inhabitants. You need to have a good reputation among those folks. His market is very small.
Shit I'd haul a car up to him from N KY if I had to. 😂🤣
@@ronaldderooij1774 He knows his strengths and limitations, and is not about to shoot himself in his foot. That is one reason we are here. The driver should give Eric a $Tip, don't ya think?
Dealing with people is more like ballet than hockey, even if they might deserve the high sticking on occasion.
Typical Normie.
"Sir you are dumb. however thank you for your business come again"
Exactly
And cheap...
No need for name calling.
Yah he should have just saved up or looked online for the oem pump
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
I will never buy a critical part like a fuel pump off fleabay - this video just cements that notion! Thanks for the closure here, Dr. O!
Very true however, some OEM parts from the local parts dept. fail too soon as well. Had some experience with Delco fuel pumps and had almost as much luck with them as an aftermarket. Went with Delphi since they are as close to Delco as you can get.
Went to a local Chinese parts supplier in our town to get a power steering pump. Three new pumps later I finally got a good one. This was on a 2003 envoy and not easy labor. I asked the guy at the counter and he said it happens all the time. Parts are getting cheaper quality as we speak. Nice diagnosis Eric
One of my fathers favorite sayings, "You never have time to do it right the first time, but you always have time to go back and do it again.".
A shop instructor of mine once said, "There is never enough time and money to do it right, only enough time and money to do it twice."
I have AAA, get four tows a year up to 100 miles each! Have had it for 17 years and while only used it a few times for lock out and a flat, I love knowing it's there and I get a discount on my car insurance I have with them. I have never had a car fail me so far! To make your fuel pump last as long as possible, always have a minimum of 1/2 tank of tier 1 gas! The gas not only lubricates the pump, it keeps it cool! It gets very hot here in Florida!
A perfect example of why we buy ( OEM) parts can't state any clearer, Great Video brother...
You'll still have the naysayers who have never had to rely on repairing vehicles to put food on the table that claim we're being rip-offs by using Genuine/OE/OEM parts. I get it - money is tight, vehicle repairs can be expensive. I will quote a customer on known good aftermarket parts if they can't swing the cost for genuine/OE, or OEM parts. Best bang for the buck is generally OE parts, which are exactly the same as genuine parts but without the manufacturer's logo (e.g. BMW, Toyota, etc) on it. If you're lucky, you can even get these parts in NAPA boxes...but you can also get Dorman junk in them too. Kinda hit and miss.
Many years ago, a friend worked for a motorcycle/small engine repair shop, and the owner wanted to get out. He sold the business to my friend, with a waning: "You will quickly discover that some customers are just not worth having."
And oh, how right he was! I could tell a bunch of stories about "Buddy". My buddy tried to fix it... My buddy said I should do this... My buddy said not to spend money on that...
My friend always wondered who and where this mysterious Buddy was, so he could send Christmas cards!
A textbook case of "Pay half, pay twice"!
In the UK we say " Buy cheap, pay twice "
In Spanish 'lo barato sale caro' - the cheap one turns out expensive
I'm going to say "Pay half, pay thrice" since it came out more in the end and he had to get three tows instead of one.
@@MrAmorti Si amigo!
@@crumplezone1 the urdu version roughly translates to "Buy expensive, cry once. Buy cheap, cry over and over"
So many here have said so many things which I agree with, and agreed with from the first video. After we were told an eBay pump was going in, I figured it'd be back.
This Toyota sure was a honey when it was new and it sure would be a lot nicer than some of my cars. It deserves a lot better. If you use OEM parts as much as possible on Toyota, even if used parts like this one, the car will certainly last a VERY long time, and then you won't end up spending as much money in the long run.
This guy was very lucky to have Eric O. working on his car.
No matter what, you don't cheap out on your car, because nothing is worth doing in life if you're not going to do it right in the first place and learn from your mistakes. I am no auto mechanic, but I had to start doing all the work myself because too many times people have rip me off. If it was not for people like you Eric O on the internet, everything that I have done would have never happen in the first place. I have saved a lot of money; yes, it was not always easy work to do, but I do have fun learning and doing it at the same time. Sincerely Eric O, thank you very much:)
Trip over a dollar to save a dime.....I love being in this business!
That sums up exactly what I was thinking. What a dummy
@broomsterm Yep, they wouldn't sell hardly ANYTHING from them and the small auction I attended they were selling the exterior radar deflecting panels (like 1ft x 1 ft) for several thousand dollars! Crazy
If you needed an example of what irony is; this is it!
400 bucks for a header, Ebay fuel pump cheap, Eric O fix= Priceless! GO OEM!! I see another tow in the near future when that one goes belly up!
I wouldn't of been able to hide my smile when he came to pick up the vehicle!
Hi Eric,it's good of you to post a video that many mechanics run into almost every day,if they deal directly with the customer,like i used to do long ago.i used to dread working on a car that was held together with duct tape.Once you work on a car like that many customers feel that now you own it ,and everything that goes wrong with it is SOMEHOW YOUR FAULT ! All they need is you to explane to them in a simplified way what went wrong and how that--- is not related to the part you repaired or replaced.Then i tell them to help themselves to a SUCKER out of the jar on the counter on the way out !.
He paying for his education, as have I several times!!
Is all on tape or YT I should say baby...Eric O, you are truly a total pro..the world needs more people like you. Thumbs Up Way Up
I just knew the Ebay special was going to be junk. This owner learned a lot of valuable lessons on this repair.
At least you didn't have to drop a fuel tank four times!
🤣 there’s a lesson or two in there......a) if it’s already at the garage let them do it, b) don’t buy chinesium crud - imagine the walk of shame when he comes to collect it.
I don't understand why anyone would doubt you your AMAZING! Thanks Eric
You get what you pay. Some people think they are smarter than the mechanic. Learned the hard way. You the man, Eric.
I've had alot of Airtex pumps failing too. Less than a year in a new part is unacceptable
Airtex fuel pumps are brand new junk. I have the same experience with them, failures in 3 to 4 months
I runaway from airtex fuel pumps. They are are joke
OK...by the time everything was said and done, I ended up spending about $500 to save $75.
Why yes...I do work for the federal govt., why do you ask???
Yet another example where the stingy man pays the most!
I had to watch this at work, because I knew it was coming back! If my 82 year old dad drove a Toyota, I would swear it was him that spent the money for 3 tows but wouldn't buy a new OEM pump...
After paying for 3 tows, he might not have had the money to buy a new OEM pump.
Your a saint. Sometimes you have to tell the customer, how it’s going to be. I do service work and it’s hard sometimes. But it really annoys me when they think they know more me or try to tell me how to do my job. At least you didn’t have to drop this tank. Lol. You are a good person and a better mechanic. Love the channel.
Today's South Main Auto Channel is brought to you by the Number "3!"
Count with me, kids! 1...2...3....Tow Truck Charges!!! Ah-ah-ah......
HaHa, you made me spit my soda out of me nose.
Read your comment and laughed so hard the other people in the restaurant looked at me goofy😀
I'm a tow Op and love these kinds of customers. Lol
Eric The Car Guy uses that line.. Maybe he should do guest appearances here, to count the comebacks!
😉😉 I foresaw this! Lol. Good video Eric! Getting these videos out there, IDK how you do it all! Have an awesome day! 😊🤗
Yes I was about to comment the same thing lol buy cheap and it will comeback!
Eric, I still like this customer of yours just because we get to watch another video of yours 🤩🤩
Another excellent vid, Dr. O. E-bay parts make sense if you are doing your own work. The labor involved make the cheap parts not so cheap.. Slick you can access the pump without dropping the tank.
Eric O: I completely understand where you're coming from. Just did the same job on a BMW a couple day's ago. Seeing that it's an aftermarket pump supply by the customer, I'm wondering just how long it'll last. I too hate aftermarket junk especially electronic/electrical parts. I always recommend OEM parts especially when dealing with imported vehicles. God bless you and your family, have a gr8 day.
Just replaced a fuel pump on a 2003 GMC suburban and had to drop the whole gas tank with about 6\7 gallons still inside Oh lawd I tells yah, Made me want to turn fresh water into salt water hahahahaha 2am here in LA only Eric and booze keep me up AMEN.
Try using ratchet straps to lower the tank & left it next time i do it all the time!
Steven Ayala ... "left"???
Hey! Don’t berate this guy, he helps keep our economy going. Experience is a grand teacher.... eighty percent of our young people don’t know how to jump start a car, much less do anything else.
NO Power tools! OMG, I know it is not polite but in this case a strong "I told you so " would be in order. Your professionalism will carry the day. Ultimately a satisfied (by you) customer. Carry on Sir! You Rock!
I'd put a special warranty on customer provided/requested Chinesium parts... 30 seconds or 3 feet. Whichever comes first!
Mine is "Line of sight" as I turn around to explain it to them..
Tail light warranty
grobarization so good
I can't warranty customer provided parts.
That's generous? You have more faith in them than I do!
A large majority of the fuel pumps being sold right now are knock off name brand Ac Delco, Motorcraft, and Walbro fuel pumps in what appears to be genuine name brand boxes. The issue is bigger than most people even realize. At this point it's best to buy any replacement fuel pump as close to the manufacturer as possible and avoid middle men like Amazon and Ebay no matter what they claim.
TrakSpock1 Excellent point. The Chinese are knocking off Apple iPhones, so this comes as no surprise.

Know what you can’t find on eBay? A trusted mechanic. Keep up the good work Eric!
You gotta love a customer who lets you fix it right because you have to fix it twice. Thanks Eric, I think there's at least a couple of lessons in this one.
I find the level of hind sight 20/20 comments in here to be disturbing. Going aftermarket route is risky business especially since it is nearly impossible to hold these companies accountable for their crap parts. However, I've been in the position of not able to drop $400+ into a 12 year old car (superior Toyota quality or not) only to have to get rid of it 6 months later. In this case, the guy looks (and probably feels) like a fool. He doesn't need us to point it out to him in the comment section.
If you're buying a fuel pump on Ebay to repair a car you've hit rock bottom. Especially in the U.S. You've massive car parts stores all over, & they carry all kinds of everything. If he looked at CZcams for an hour and bought a pump from somewhere sensible, he could have saved the money. The buddy who put it in for him, should have been able to tell (accurately guess) it needed a pump.
Aftermarket was better before the Chinese started crapflooding it.
A Physics Professor well in this case an OEM or OE equal pump off rock auto was the cost of 2 of his tow bills. A quality pump if he purchased himself isn’t that expensive for this vehicle. Gotta use common sense on eBay a 25$ fuel pump doesn’t even sound right.... a fuel pump is not something you cheap out on.
Who all saw the eBay pump was gonna be junk? 🙋♂️
If there's anything I've seen that's worse than Dorman, it's no-name eBay parts.
eBay is good place to get parts BUT you need to know to not buy the cheapest made in china - no-name parts. Many reliable merchants also sell on Ebay
Must own stock in the tow company.
I just did same one a few months ago guy didn’t want to pay 150 for oem so I paid 23.00 and got just the motor not the whole assembly. It’s in and on the road zero issues. Love your customers by the way.
My old man always told me growing up do it right the first time and I learned to live by that
As a automotive technician for 30 + years
( New ) = never ever worked)
No Brake cleaner needed :)
I was burned twice on an ACDelco Water Pump. Proudly made in China. Lasted 8 months. Got a new one under warranty. It lasted 5 months. Bought a NOS OEM Water Pump made in the UK. Never another problem. It was for a 3 0 liter Vauxhall Engine used in 3.0 Saturn's, Catera's, and SAAB 9-5 with 3.0 V6 option. My application was SAAB.
The neatest and tidiest mechanic on you tube!👨🔧👨🔧👨🔧
Pitty customer....hey I was like that too.....suppose to save money but end up spend more....those are the days....
Lol I pay up now because of you and those cheapo dollar tree special parts. =)
I bought an e bay fuel pump. Lucky I put it on right the 1st time. And it's still running after a year and only cost me $40 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I get the customers scepticism I been burned and over charged by many POS mechanics so what did I do go on yt and watch mr. O's videos and do it myself. Like Scotty kilmer says to fix it right sometimes you just gotta do it yourself is that not what Eric O always tells us at the ending of all his videos.
I am glad you made this video as customer should have listened to you in the beginning! Thanks
Your customer reminds me of my mother. She'll spend a dollar to save a dime.
I thought his buddy was a mechanic and he could fix it. I guess not. He should've learned to just keep it at your shop and get it fixed correctly
The only honest mechanic in New York State.
Hopefully he learned his lesson. Great job Eric. Obviously he brought it back to you because he trusts you and knows your a good mechanic.
Also sounds like you'll get an exhaust repair out of him. LOL
Probably two the way things are going.
Woody M
No he will solder soda cans together to make the exhaust pipes. Or maybe duct tape? It does look metal...
It’s a ricer it’s supposed to be like that.
Not as long as Pringle cans are a buck a piece at Dollar Tree
I'm sure he has a buddy with some coat hangers that can fix the exhaust with some gutter material.
Some people never learn. 🤥
SMA common sense striking again! Well, some people only learn the hard way. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah but not necessarily the hard way all the time. We all make mistakes at some point. Just hope the owner learned something in this case.
@@danielsimpson8929 Yep! This is true as well.
this is a good example of why I try my best to find AC Delco parts for my Chevy g20. It cost more but they are more dependablr. Also I try to get all my parts from a local parts store so I can easily return stuff and they have good warranties!!
Good idea :)
Reminds me of my ex. "Penny wise, pound foolish". She once took 20 minutes to choose a can of beans based on ingredients, weight, price and god knows what else. A good lesson nonetheless.
Ok 20 is too long but quickly looking ONE time and then knowing for next time is ok....still 20min... Wtf?
@@SteedDigital1 To my mind, it was a power thing, She loved shopping and the beans were just an excuse.
Reminds me of my mother after living in remote Canadian town 25 years, and going to her first chain grocery store back here in the USA.
Customer should watch your video part 1 before accusing you of misdiagnosing.
Maybe it wasn't published yet.
The curse of the crappy parts. Nice job!
Well this is part of the learning experience. Sometimes you want to save a buck and take a gamble. Could be based on past gambles that were successful,for example maybe the customer and his friend replaced all the coil over plug connections and got the car started with some spray. Then they ran into the fuel pump problem and a dead end with their abilities. With an honest mechanics help they got a firm diagnosis and figured they could repair themselves. Not really a mistake because it is a simple exchange, except they bought and installed a crap part. Now they've learned a bit more and education isn't free. Learning from Eric at SMA.. Couldn't think of a better teacher to invest with for auto repair. I hope the owner becomes or is a subscriber of SMA.
cheap chinese/ebay fuel pump..(nelson muntz voice) HA ha
How about giving us some dollar amounts occasionally? I like to know what things cost.
Diagnostics $100/hr. Diagnosing the same vehicle for the same problem the 2nd time $200/hr, installing used fuel pump with I told you so $300+200 2nd diagnostic fee LOL.
An old English saying, "Experience is a dear school, but fools will learn in no other" Seems to sum it up!!!!
Smartest SMA customer of the year award Congrats !
eBay fuel pump had already been returned once that's the repair effort to resell, don't be surprised if they try to resell this pump back on eBay!
You have a right to refuse service!!!
The poor man probably has money problems, is stressed out, and can't think straight !!!
For the sake of clarity, I think I have this right...Car broke down..towed to MSA...diagnosed as bad pump...towed FROM MSA for owner to repair...New but faulty pump installed...towed Back to MSA thinking (understandably) mis-diagnosis...owner then expecting to be reimbursed for a diagnoses AND tow. Turns out to be a faulty, new pump !
Hard feelings all around and time needed to "come to grips" with everything.
Such is real life. You live...You learn !
Kudos to Eric O. for posting. And from what I see, he would have posted even IF his diagnosis was wrong. 👍
Wish all cars had the fuel pumps made with easy access like this one, Liked vid, 👍
just to be fair i have installed Ebay fuel pumps with no come backs.
rickey gresham I’m sure many are good . As a diy mechanic I would use it on my own car . If it’s half the price and I do it twice it’s my time not a shops time. But if I can’t do the job and have to pay someone else I’ll get oem it reputable aftermarket . Then again I put a good pump in Durango dropping a 20 gallon tank when it’s not empty is a Bitch .
Some may be ok but I would not put my reputation on the line for one.
Yeah but you probably have a good idea of who you're dealing with on Ebay. This guy is taking a shot in the dark to a large degree.
And the moral of the story is.....
The cheap Chinese fuel pump made in Taiwan was in fact cheap junk LOL. I mean some times you can get stuff aftermarket and it works great but I'm going to bet the customer found the cheapest fuel pump they could possibly find that said "New" on Ebay and bought it, and turned out it was one that was garbage to begin with and was damaged by the previous person trying to "fix it".
Being on the YT is a good thing - the customer can go watch the vids and see for themselves...
I just ordered timing belt parts for my daughter's Aveo. I got the good Daewoo Korean OEM stuff, not the cheap Chinesium parts. Never thought I'd see the day I'd be actually looking for Japanese and Korean parts for anything...
I’d say most backyard mechanic makes the “cheap parts mistake” once, mine was a heater core that required the entire dash removal..lasted about 6 months - I just got lucky somebody totaled the truck on month 7 and saved me the hassle of fixing my mistake.
Can’t blame the guy for wanting to DIY with a fuel pump this simple..his choice in parts was the mistake!
As I said in another comment for the previous video. Not fair to judge someone with out knowing their story. In this case this guy was wrong, but no one here is above making a mistake.
After market is always a mistake. Especially E- Bay. I will NEVER buy any car parts off from E- Bay unless its OEM. I have a Subaru Outback and it only gets OE M parts. Except mabe wipers . I do use a Bosch oil filter. They cost more but quality is there. No Fram ever.
RC Hobbyist Extreme - Hate to break it to you but the largest Ac Delco fuel pump seller on Ebay is selling generic knock off pumps in what appears to be genuine Ac Delco packaging.
@@TrakSpock1 Then buy from a Dealer ok? So whats the deal? I dont buy any auto parts on line. I want to be able to get a return back to a face not a mail box.
I sure hope you're getting CASH for this job... You knew that the guy was squeaky cheap when he used copper wire to hold down plastic cover over the coils.. LMBO 😀
My guess someone lost the nut so wire was used to hold it down the cover on the engine instead of finding another nut to fit.

I could do it in my sleep 40$ pumps just don’t cut it to Dodge dealer I went 389$ later bam 💥 never had it out again... what they don’t tell you is those after market pumps are Guaranteed for life but there not paying you to change it great video I love your stuff
Eric, I have known so many people like this customer. What's the expression? "Buy the best, only cry once"
I'm 765 miles away and even at that distance I'm aggravated at the customer.
wyattoneable penny smart - pound stupid Wyatt 🙄😂
Buy cheap, Buy twice or 3 or 4 times if its Dorman
Everyone has "this guy" that can fix everything for a couple of beers. I would rather trust my mechanic.
I learned to use OEM fuel pumps real quick after my first and only foray with Airtex.
I agree on the Airtex fuel pumps. Horrible brand in fuel pumps....I give them maybe 3 to 5 months and they fail.
