    One nice thing about going to your shop is that you don't have all the back and forth between mechanic(s) service writer vehicle owner. The service writer and mechanic (FBM) looked at everything, made suggestions and then found all the issues. = Everything got fixed and it should be good for quite a few years. -get it all done in one shot if possible and now ready for winter.

    Beautiful truck, and wonderful job on the old girl. She’ll give the owner another 100,000 miles of trouble free miles. It’s much cheaper to give some TLC to an older car rather than buying a new one.

    they lucked out you caught that belt in time.nice job bud.people in your area dont know how lucky they are to have a mechanic that WONT rip them off & actually gives a crap about their repairs.with new vehicles prohibitively expensive.a great HONEST shop is more important than ever.

    Nice job on that clean Lexus SUV. That old timing belt gave me the pucker factor. Owner got lucky on that one. Well worth the money on the job in my view. Whole lot cheaper than a new vehicle.

    Awesome job, Rich! I don't know how much this would have cost the customer, but I'm certain that on a Lexus/Toyota, it's well worth the money spent. These things are as reliable as a good old sewing machine. Good luck in getting this kind of mileage on any newer cars being produced today. Only thing I'd consider if this was my car, is get it undercoated with a good oil based spray because it lives in the salt belt. Other than that, I think your customer will get many more miles from this vehicle with the repairs you have made. One thing is for sure; it's a lot less costly to keep a good car like this running for many more thousands of miles; than it is to buy something new.

    Hey I have a question unrelated to this video, do you think it’s possible to run the twin turbos from the 3.5l on a 2.0l? I know it would require a bit of other modifications but would it be better than running a larger aftermarket turbo?

    Hello I was hoping to get advice? I drive a 2015 Lincoln MKZ no problems has abojt 138k miles on it but, I have been wanting an suv for a while. I am going to gest drive a 2005 Lexus RX 330 tomorrow. It has 112k miles and a full service record history with Lexus. Should I sell the Lincoln and get the Lexus?

    If they used bearings instead of bushings they’d last longer
