Autozone sponsor this man please! He is in the parking lot helping people doing God's work. Plus Earnest is dressed like a walking AutoZone billboard!
hahaha
they should put him on a commercial of auto zone lol
If you cant sponsor or donate he have right to earn anything possible way, so that he can help other people.
I didn’t know god changes light bulbs
Why would they sponsor when he’s already giving them constant free promo?
It was said on another video, but for the love of God please don't get under a car supported by only a jack! They can collapse in a second and pin you under. The car should be resting on jack stands before you put any body part under it. Using a jack works... right up until the second it doesn't, then you're lucky to escape with your life. Please be safe Ernest 🙏
Helping people at an auto parts store is a great way to gain new customers. 😁
Imagine if AutoZone were to create a new program, and hired
Mechanics like Ernest, in an AZ uniform/ID badge, decaled van, tools, chemicals, etc.
and mostly use AZ parts- and AZ dispatches them out.
You know Ernest would be UT first hire! Young, decent person, educated, bilingual,
already good Mechanic.
Thank you
With Sleepy Joe now our president (unfortunately) being bilingual will soon be a requirement with all the border jumpers

Aw now, c'mon man!
Hey- are you Native American?
I'm second gen Irish/German, I'm an American, but my Family wasn't; they were Immigrants. I know what you mean, though. Nobody catered to Immigrants back then. You learned English, worked at what you could find, and the Government gave you zero.
Nowadays- every product has a English/Spanish label. Subsidized Government programs, incentives to come here. Jobs handed out.
But remember- most are good, decent people, just looking for a better life, just like our Families once did. Sure, there are bad mixed in- same everywhere.
@@scottysecretlyloveschrysle1417 you say it as if learning a second language is a bad thing. Plus by your profile picture, if that is you. It seems you got some latin blood. So why not learn the language instead of worrying about something that is out of your control.
@@bootybandit3228 no that’s not me...read my name! Dude told on me to CZcams so I took his PFP and made a account of shame of him!
I suggested to my local Advanced that they should put a mirror on their building so people can check their lights and change them. It went nowhere. But still a great store and Steve the manager is always good to me.
The reason you don't touch , halogen light bulbs, on the glass part is because the oils on your skin could cause the glass to break/shatter/explode with the high heat the bulb produces. Just make sure to wipe them with a cloth if you happen to touch it. Great videos, glad I found you.
Learned this the hard way when my Tahoe burnt through 4 bulbs in under a year
A little free advertisement when you help out someone. I say free but just costs you a little of your time. Great job.
Never mind the light bulbs, look at those battery terminals, you're losing your touch Ernest! Update........just watched the rest of the video, and you came good on the second car!
Keep up the good work man doing people right and not trying to add this and that just trying to get a extra dollar is awesome to see!!!!! 👍👍👍
Definitely one of creators that continues to inspire me to go to mechanic school and and learn more and more about cars. Keep up the honest work. God bless
You're very kind, nice work at the Autozone helping the random dude Ernest!
So thats a GoPro on a tripod that you are using?
yes the tripod is new :)
This is awesome I started my mobile mechanic service back up again and took alot of your tips and it's working out awesome thanks brother
An extremely honest and hard working family man. Cheers from Eastern Ontario 🇨🇦 .
What a gentleman helping people. Great job sir!
Great Video Ernes, it was really nice the way you helped the customer at Auto Zone. Keep up the great work.

Hello Ernest, my name is Xavier I’ve been watching your videos for about 6 months n I must say I really enjoy them they are very informational and inspiring I always love your meekness you are very kind and helpful...rather or not you pick me for the give a way I just wanted to let you know that you are a blessing keep up the good work my brother
a 6-8 in fuel pipe fit tightly over the spark plug is a must removing and installing spark plus general you can screw in 3-4 full turns at any angle knowing your plugs ant cross threaded saves dropping a plug down the plug whole and bending the tip removal great as its just a matter of slipping on the plug an undoing and lifting especially if you were not going to replace
Hey never connect the minus at the battery first. u can have a short circuit if a tool sudenly hit the plus and the frame from the car. If u connect plus first and a tool suddenly connect plus with the frame nothing happens...hope u understand me
This man is such a wholesome person, need more mechanics like him keep up the phenomenal work!
I think that mobile mechanics may be only way to fix your car in ten years keep up good work ernest!
Nice silicone spray trick, I'll have to use that. 👍👊
Great channel, great Mechanic. Thanks for taking time out explain what you are doing and why you are doing it. Your customers are lucky!
Hey Ernest, can you please please get some roadside rescue branded battery terminals to sell and use. It’s like the roadside rescue signature. If she has aftermarket terminals you know our man ernys been on the job. Just a nother job well done 👍
God bless Earnest , fantastic ' honest ' repairing in the USA. well done , regards from England UK
Thank you Graham
Amazing video an God bless Ernest. Keep em coming. 👍🏽
I have a set of magnetic spark plug sockets. I like them.
Hmmm .... I like to work on dirtbikes. I should look into a mobile dirtbike shop.
Great idea to add u helping out people outside autozone 👍
I have this same accord its so easy to work on and cheap. I love it!
A piece of rubber hose maybe 12" on the spark plugs end helps to thread it in. Great work. You can make oil change stickers to advertise your business, and air fresheners.
I loved your ideas and kindness helping people at parking lot at Autozon, I wish I have some people like you in Texas so I can ask and get help from real mechanic like you.
You just showed me the secret to polishing a turd, silicone spray!!
Love your vids, keep it up! Greetings from Aland Island Finland🇦🇽❤️
Way to go man nice video
Love the channel 👍
You paid it forward today...it will come back in blessings
Job well done. on the lights
Thanks Ernest I often help folks in the parts store parking lot. Some day you will see a silver alert for a guy.in a blue Silverado last seen helping someone in a parking lot! Ha ha
You are awesome!
Hi from New Zealand love your CZcams channel.
Next time you get a "dirty" battery like that one- before
cleaning, use your DVM, set to millivolts, and poke one terminal,
then the other probe in the "dirt". You will see a "surface voltage".
That is boiled away electrolyte, hydrogen sulfide gas deposits,
from an overly charging alternator. "Maintenance Free" caps battery caps tend to get clogged with electrolyte; the normal production of hydrogen sulfide gas percolates this trapped liquid through the vents, spilling it on the batterie's surface. If this is happening, carefully pry off caps & rinse out electrolyte, then replace.
*CAUTION: ELECTROLYTE IS CORROSIVE AND WILL BURN*
If you defeat a label or crack something- the warranty may be voided. Correct additives are found at Amazon, just search "battery fluid".
That's why you see older cars, around the battery the metal is
all rotted- hydrogen sulfide is highly corrosive.
AGM is all I use.
I wouldn't recommend opening and adding fluid to a battery. It will void the warranty. Working 4 years w/ advance auto parts, generally when someone has tried to add distilled water, the battery comes back bad.
The autozone near me has the employees come out and install the headlights as long as your not dropping the bumper.
If you use dry lube instead of silicone you don't have as much dirt clinging to it because it dried almost instantly.
That's a job well done. I can never understand why people let their tyres get to such a state!
Ill advised to go on a road trip with worn out tires and belt. Some people are okay with living on the edge, I guess !
I would rather take a trip on those plugs than a questionable belt!
So it is NOT advisable to take a road trip on racing slicks? Who knew! lol
Earnest “ Your not your self till you have your Snickers!
Have you diagnosed the truck of yours at all?
Also you can use the a length of hose that will fit on the tip of the spark plug. You can even start to turn it in with it. If it's starting to cross it won't go in any farther. I use 3/8 hose for this job.
Nice job good luck from morocco god bless you god bless américain People
Earnest, I saw you using needle nose pliers for those spark plugs. My dad has a tool which looks like a screwdriver handle, with a flexible shaft, and the end looks like a spark plug boot. It's meant from grabbing deep in those coil-on-plug holes. Next time I'm at his house I'll comment the brand and number of the tool so you can get one- I think they are a necessity for odd sized spark plugs
You can also your the spark plug boot that comes on the vehicle that you know reaches the plug
You won't experience any resistance using dielectric grease. It gets squeezed out where and there is metal on metal contact. Where there isn't contact it fills the gaps and inhibits corrosion that will turn into a problem if not inhibited. It does that without risk of inadvertently completing a circuit if it were to ooze into the wrong place.
Just found your channel.....and subscribed...
Welcome aboard!
i would carry around a moving blanket or somethinf to put down when changing oil that way you dont make a mess in peoples driveway. but good video
Your the man
firestone wouldn't change out that air filter. They typically wait till there completely clogged and black or after 90k miles (or at least thats my experience with them).
you need to try out sil glyde it is wonderful on sparkplug boots and keep them soft and helps keep water out
spark plug thread creates a great ground so dont anti-seize
So I guess you are comfortable not using any jack stands (or did I miss them). I hope you stay safe!
Super battery tester!
Those tires are a bit bald lol...
No judgement Honda owner.. I've seen the cords on my tires before.
Just a tip, the proper way to check ball joints and wheel bearings on independent suspensions is to support the lower control arms.
What do you mean by that? Like put pressure on it with the jack?
Good content
I was thinking fir 8500 you should just get another truck. I looked and those are expensive! Motor swap is the way to go.
Sweet battery tester! Lol
Hope you charge for those bulb changes 😆
Do you ever work on classic cars? No computers so you have to go old school. I removed the 454 in my old '68 Corvette. Rebuild it and re-installed. Same with my '69 Chevy C30. I swapped out the 327 with a 350 I had rebuilt and replaced the clutch. In LA County, it's illegal to work on a vehicle on a public street.
10:59 almost disaster
I use the coils to pull out the plugs. no piers here.
For technical functioning it does not matter in which order you connect them.
However for safety reasons it does matter.
The whole body of the car is usually connected to the minus pole. And you can accidentally hit that body with the positive lead. So connecting the lead first is safer.
Recap:
Negative pole first:
Whole car (except a few parts like the positive pole) are connected. Any mistake with the other lead will lead to a short. And car batteries are very good* at shorts. You really do not want this.
Positive pole first:
Only a small part of the car is now connected to power. If you mess up by touching the car with the other lead nothing will happen.
Lastly: This might also be a habits for people who deal with electronics. Ground goes first. Always.
Sylvania Silverstars on a vehicle with completely clouded up headlight housings? Plus those Silverstar bulbs tend to burn out sooner than standard standard bulbs.
Poor Honda mn the car looks beat up 😂😂😂😂😂
Some ramps & a Yoga mat 😉
Guy really crawled under a vehicle supported by a jack, one of these days you're going to get yourself killed. You don't respawn after 4,000lbs lands on you buddy.
I found a new mechanic, ones I move up to Utah… I will be giving you a call
What's your fine line between deciding on extras that the factory didn't use I I cringing hearing that spark plug being removed I usually would add a tiny mist of anti seize so I stand a chance in the future if I get the job again and its even worse next time
I believe in carma. When you help someone out, good things happen for you. At least it seems so in my life.
What is that product you used to make the plastics look brand new called?
I wish you were in California. I’m having problems with my 2011 camaro. Battery is good, and as well as the alternator. Battery dies only when running for a while, I think there’s a short. It would take so much stress off since you’re and awesome and Honest mechanic (rare nowadays). Everyone who has checked it says something else that doesn’t fix it
Where do you live in California?

Idk why you never warm the car before draining oil. You can let it drip for a month and your still not getting most of the oil.
Have you ever thought about using pigmats, or getting a big drip pan? If I were an apartment manager I'd be pretty unhappy with the oil spots left behind. Better to not make a mess in the first place than to try to clean up afterwards.
yeah typically i never make a mess. filming plus the wind threw me off this time.
I imagine you do a lot off-camera, but I wonder if you checked the coolant level, transmission fluid level, topped off the washer fluid, and checked the lights. It seems the things I mentioned would be essential checks before making a road trip. Additionally, why did you not check the battery fluid level after determining it had been leaking? It was not a sealed battery and may have been low or empty. Thanks for the amazing content! I enjoy your videos and have been binge-watching them.
Yeah good question. I don’t mess with battery’s. (Just the fluid/water)?as for the rest I did check them. Your right sometimes I just don’t realize I did stuff without sharing.
Also I never have washer fluid on hand? Idk why? I should!
@@RoadsideRescue Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I believe battery fluid/water level is essential in preventing dead battery cells. Thanks again for keeping your interested viewers entertained during the pandemic.
I have to get a battery tester like that.
Not sure who is servicing his truck, all bulbs, fluids, tires etc get checked every service in our shop. 😳
can u do a video on ur camera equipment , sound etc
H11 is a low beam bulb. Thought his high beams were out?
Noticed you disconnected the battery , did you have to input the radio code afterwards? Also I work at a parts store & the headlamp situation that you encountered today happens everyday
Customer comes in asks forow beams we sell them the low beam , comes back HH later & claims they are wrong !
We go out to check & find out the customer was pulling out the high beams beacuse those are the easiest to get too lol
I had great pleasure helping people with mechanical issues in their cars but also felt guilty when I couldn't help , I used to tell people If I have the knowledge there's is no reason to charge for mechanic work since I had a different profession where I made my living. I would tell them get a quote and if you want to do it your self I can help you. It is hard to explain but I had to stop because I started to feel guilty and sad about hearing people even having to pay for parts. Last one was a car on limp mode due to bad selenoid pack in the transmission , transmission shop quoted $1200 we replaced the selenoid pack but it will have to take it to dealer to flash the pcm and relearned the shifting for $150 I felt so bad the lady had to pay for that and that I could not do it all even though the savings where great by us doing it, that's when I realized it was affecting me. Hard to understand but that's how I felt.
What battery tester do you use?
I wanna get into the biz how do u get rid of ppl oil when u do oil changes ! What biz is good to recycle with
nothing wrong with the air filter at all looks like new ,one stain means nothing
I've seen a battery corrosion cleaner say to rinse the cleaner off with water. Is that even safe?
Ahhhhhhh so they silicone sprayed the COP's at the factory🤣😋
Aren't you suppose to connect the positive first, then negative.? When battery has been desconneted from both terminals?🤷♂️
Why is my dodge nitro 2008 3.7L starts up and go right back off
hope he gave you a drink for doing that
What Milwaukee ratchet is that? Thanks!
Do you ever do cabin filters for people. I never see you do those

I've seen you in the county. UVU?
What's he studying in college does anybody know. He may have mentioned it in the past but I'm not a long time subscriber and he never mentioned it in any video I have watched so far.
He mentioned that it was just general ed.
Wildlife conservation I believe
@@robhughes8516 he should stick with auto mechanics. More financially viable. Not many jobs in wildlife preservation unless you have connections in government
