- Didn’t have enough to dedicate a full video, but thought about making a shorter day in the shop video. If this works out I’ll make a routine a few times a month to just film our day to day happenings.
Thank you all for watching!
I like the 2000-05 Impalas myself. If somebody GAVE me an 06 or later, i mean, i'd take it.....who would turn down a free car?? 😂 Thanks for sharing, Jay!
My friend has an 06 & luckily it’s a 3.5 NOT A 3.6 car. It’s beat up & has needed a lot of work in the last year but she’s still going with 204,000 miles. But the transmission is starting to go.
A day in the life of jay smart and his dog Charlie-fixing up cars 🚙 and the headaches that go with them! Good video, pal ! 😊😊😊😊😊
Really enjoyed this. Let's have more of these vids!
You had a day like I do over here in the shop
I like any modern Impala thats not equipped with the 3.6 engines. My brother-in-law had an 01 with the 3800. My cousin had an 08 with the 3500. Both good cars. Drove em both. Say hi to Charlie.
I'm glad the auction car was just needing an alternator Jay 🙂👍 Happy wrenching my friend 🔧🔩
2 thumbs up on the haircut and beard trim!
Looking fantastic!!
We have a 2016 Elantra with the 1.8, so a base model, been a good car over 6 1/2 years with close to 130,000 miles on it.
Its never given us a problem.
The Forte is the same car, also a good car.
I know the 2.4's aren't good motors, but the 1.8's and 2.0's are good motors.
My 15 Sonata with the 2.4 was crap, I’d have to add a quart of oil a week with no leaks just burning it with less than 90k on the clock
Awesome video
So much fun, in so little time.
My sister had nothing but bad luck with Kia and Hyundai cars with the GDi. Two of them blew holes in a piston just from normal use and driving. Dealer was not surprised, so she guessed it was a normal problem. Must've been unlucky and gotten a couple of those "bad batch" engines hahahaha. Or maybe the "batch" was everything from 2015 to 2019, the last model they bought before they moved on.
+1 for the shorter format shop vlog!
Good video 😀
Charley is growing fast!
Great video!
My wife got a 2012 KIA Optima from her daughter who got it from her dad (wife's ex, bought right before they got divorced haha) that had the engine replaced by KIA. I already put some of that GDI cleaner for the intake valves. Guess you're supposed to do that every 10K miles. Is the alternator a common issue with these cars? Great video Jay, hello from Lubbock, TX!
I think Charley is the reason why you surpassed 100,000 miles and climbing !
For the love of god get the Kia to the dealer for the free anti theft update ASAP before you sell it 😮
3800- likely valve covers need replaced. Those gm wheel bearings always go bad and so does the suspension. But yeah I had a 2005 Grand Prix, great car. Also change those plastic coolant elbows if it hasn’t been done yet.
Kia had a recall on them for fires 🔥
Love a good video from you Jay. My favorite Impala bodystyles are the 90s and early 2000s. Looks like another interesting day at the shop. Can't wait for more videos coming!
I’ve notice after owning a Kia, they do not have a dummy light for brake lights on the dash. It only illuminates for the parking brake
Hay buddy good to see you hope every are doing great
I remember your mom‘s Dodge charger, keep up the great work!
I’m willing to bet the F-150 coming in for a engine job is a 3v triton.
You’re a good son Jay.
Like this type of vid! Nice progress!
A day in the life. Cool!
Thanks for letting us hang out with you-
Pow, right in the kisser lol family guy reference. 🤣
Family Guy reference? It makes me think of Jackie Gleason & The Honeymooners.
Great video dude. Hey would u be able to show off your cowboy boots again.😀😎
Jay's a good old boy
"That Cavalier was the best car I have ever owned." Heh heh.
hell 207k miles doesnt sound like 'crap' to me! what makes the 1.6 GDI so bad aside from the brand name?
Exactly. I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra 2.0 with 130,000 miles on it and have had NO ISSUES. I change my oil every 5000 miles and keep up with the maintenance.
40+ mpg's.
@@seanspring8991 same here with my 2020 Rio. Regular oil changes and it's my reliable vehicle. People still think Kia is the same "Kia" from 20 years ago but it certainly isn't. Affordable and reliable with a great warranty.
I have a 2021 kia forte and it's a POS lol .. I can't wait to get a truck and send that POS back ..
Why don't you let O'Reilly deliver those parts to you? Or do you just like getting out of the shop for a while lol
Whoever said those Kias are great cars something is wrong with them. Busy bee 🐝

Hey Jay! i gotta question for ya. does your buick century make a clackkity-clack noise at idle or so like a lifter tick or piston slap? i just wanna know if i’m the only one.
it goes away as soon as you accelerate
Got a 2000 impala 3.4l engine, but a problem mine has is water leaks through the cowl, into the passenger floor. Research says this is a common problem. Any ideas how to correct this?
Gdi, engines are bad in all cars.
It’s night buddy
Funny you mentioned how garbage KIA is. I own a KIA Optima EX and it to has a replacement engine in it and only around 130k miles.
whats up with the ram
First
