Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "repairs to cars" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Ziyatalie Fanayla Secret - (just google it )?
It is a good one off product for discovering some tricks to repair your vehicle minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbour got cool success with it.

@@vhongfabria9946 nah the cabin air filter filters the wind the AC creates so you’re not breathing junk as most car’s AC actually comes from the radiator fan

I'd definitely rather read this than waste my time with the video, thanks :D
I'm here because I was never taught this stuff, and I want to keep my car in good shape for a while 😆

This is excellent

Understanding car terms is crucial for any car owner to effectively communicate with mechanics, make informed decisions, and maintain their vehicle. Familiarizing yourself with terms like "cylinder," "torque," "horsepower," "transmission," "suspension," and "brake pads" can empower you to better care for your car and address potential issues.
Car guys be like "You forgot to include engine swapping!"
no
At that point you may as well get another car. Engines aren’t cheap
@@cristianr.s.5537 yeah, a 2001-07 ford focus or something is £200-1500 whereas ( new engine £2-4k ) old engines are cheaper
Lol
@@cristianr.s.5537 Considering a new car is an engine... plus the fucking car. One could deduce that an engine is itself cheaper than a new car
You forgot to include one major part in jump starting a vehicle. The vehicle providing the charge should be running prior to the car with the dead battery starting. This will prevent excessive draining of the battery of the vehicle that is providing the charge.
i was warned that helping random people jumpstart their cars have risk that will kill your battery instead, is this the only reason? then all i need to make sure is my car running beforehand
@@gary7846 I Would Say So, Yes
5:13 he says it
Just learned something new thank uu
The #1 thing to do if you want your car to run forever is Maintenance.
Thank god someone has made a video about simple car maintenance that every motorist should know and shouldn’t be allowed there licence until they learn everything in this video it should be made a part of the test
What about the brakes? That's another simple but extremely important thing to learn how to change.
Yes, brakes are SUPER important, but we left 'em off this list just because we wanted to focus on simpler vehicle-maintenance items. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Pro tip : Loosen the bolts on your tire before jack it up !
Learnt that the hard way with my first car😀👍
And tighten them fully only after you've lowered it! He missed all these!
may i ask why?
@@1gks it’s just to prevent the tire from rotating when you’re trying to take out the lug nuts
Brakes🤷🏼♂️
I remember when I was searching up bike maintenance videos years ago, got quite good at it, Now I'm hoping to do the same thing with this newfound knowledge, thanks!
Thank you this helps

If a car take long to start in the morning what is it C270 CDI mesedes Benz 2005
Such an amazing video. I love to watch all your video. They are super amazing at the same time. Keep more posting!
I mean, when changing oil , you change the oil filter too. Ive been doing in car service for like a month, and then quit, volunteered so i can learn abut cars. And it is the basic. Also, if you see your air filter too dusty/havent changed it for a long time, now is that day. Do not use blowers to blow it off the dust and think that youve done the job. Its still filled with small particles that you cant see, which can lead to engine problems, so its better if you just buy a new one.
EDIT: Also dont buy really cheap filters, or parts in general, as their quality is close to zero.
Some Air cleaners can wash and reuse,, especially if you have none in store.
Enjoyed your video Craig. Entertaining to watch!
Thank you for sharing. Every driver should know this.
very complete and understandable, amazing video! thanks!!
Hello, thank you for making this video. I’m looking to purchase my first car, and I’m doing a lot of research. I have no idea how to do any of the 10 tips! But now I know that I have to look on tutorials for these. Thanks!!
if you do not follow this guide there are many others but search for one task at a time that way you can get clear indepth step by step guides, i would also search youtube for "buying your first car what to look out for"
Very good video. Easy to understand, and things we should all know about our cars.
Thanks for sharing this informative video! 👍
You forgot to add the most important thing to check out in a vehicle which is, the brake fluid level,very important.
My dad is literally a mechanic but when I ask him questions it makes me feel a little stupid so now I'm trying to learn about cars on my own even though he is the perfect person to ask but I can't
If he didn't teach u don't be embarrassed to ask
@@LuisLopez-zs9bs I mean he did but a lot of stuff goes over my head lolol
@@arwenelayne you shouldnt hinder learning for pride
@@immaculatesquid yea you're right he's just really good at making me feel extra dumb for no reason haha
@@arwenelayne just tell yourself youre building character everytime you make a mistake. it helps slightly. just takes time
Thanks a lot this was very helpful.
Richard,.hi I'm new to your channel.thanks for airing on line!.safe driving check points on how to avoid while driving a car in traffic is so very important to do it yourself important points you pointed out.thank you sir,much appreciate,great video.👍
Totally enjoyed this video 😃
Fantastic video. Very informative.
BMWs don’t have dipsticks in the engine bay, they’re normally in the drivers seat
very instructive video! thank you
Add brakes and roters, ball joints, bearings, struts and springs, change all four tires (meaning take the worn tires off the wheels and put new ones on setting the bead, then you got changing all the fluids ( coolant, engine oil, transmission fluid, gear oil in the diffs and transfer case oil) then there’s changing spark plugs, headlights, tail lights, fog lights, and if you really want to have fun you can do the full engine rebuild ( top and bottom)
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tips. Yes, I'm accustomed to doing all the items listed. Problem I'm having now is to get a neighbour's car to restart after it ran out of gas. I bridged the pump relay socket and the pump runs only by that means. The spark stopped since doing that.
Very Useful Video For All.. Thanks You...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VERY USEFUL VID MAN!
You're welcome
I check my oil with my windshield wiper, it’s just easier to clean it off when ✅ done
Can’t tell if this is a serious comment
thank you! really helpful
Just got my car 🚗 and I’m trying to keep it up, video helped
excellent guide..thanks
Thank you!!
Funny and informative at the same time. I found this very useful.
Thank for tips👏
Thank you.very useful
Great tips
Great video 👌🏾👌🏾
Thank you, im 14 getting ready
Isn't washing and waxing your car one of the simplist maintenance options. It prevents rust and rot.
And yet there are literally millions of me that don't.
Thank you!
same with the oil change! get it done at the shop
Buying my first car in a few months,
So I’m watching ts to get as much
Knowledge as possible.
Thanks very much for the methods
We need more Craig reviews!! He's simply the best.
his name is Craig? That is awesome cuz the whole time he was reminding me of Craig Pelton (the Dean) from Community lolol
Great video
Hey thanks man, that's helpful
I love videos like this
i love this guy !
Keep up the good work and generating the crowd!
This guy deserves a crown 👑
I love this video
Make sure to check your blinker fluid too!
Where is blinker fluid located ? Lol
@@michaell3711 Blinker fluid doesn't exist, it's a common joke. Can be used to test how clueless someone is about cars lol
Did my first brake change last month and my first oil change and cabin filter last week going for a coolant change and hopefully spark plugs next week but ima a bit nervous for those 😅
I can do all those very easy. I have changed my belt, coolent, oil, windshield wipers and even changed my sway bars.
Did them all to all 9 of my vehicles. Must keep very detail maintenance records
Thanks for the info man
I'm glad to know things of this about my car
Nice, thanks.
Wow nice advice thanks😁😉
Been driving for 20 years & had no idea of these things 😭
Thanks bro
Good video.
This was great. Thank you! I
Just wanted to mention that if the oil is generally clear and not dark or black that it's still fresh.
Thank you.🙂
Interesting. Now I know more about the ten things every car owner should know about car maintenance.
Amazing 🎉
Wonderful Video.
Awesome 👏 my family will like 👍
Great video my girlfriend liked it very much! She asked me to share it.
very nice
fun to watch 😅
Awesome!
Loved the Humour 😂
Sometimes on the car with the dead battery, you need to ground to the engine block or look for a grounding strap on the firewall.
Changed the belt on my Grand Am what a pain first you gotta support the engine either by the oil pan or using a engine support bar from the top. Then undo the engine bracket mount from the passenger side. Take a socket wrench or serpentine belt tool and move the tensioner towards the firewall of the car. Take belt off and the do everything you did in reverse. The hardest part is getting the belt back on I recommend you go from the bottom up it’s more easy to get the belt started on the crank shaft pulley and work your way up finishing with the alternator. Also on the Grand Am it’s easy to also remove the cruise control model seeing that it’s kinda in the way and moving it gives you more arm room. It’s simple just unplug the wires and remove the black bracket holding it on and just set it to the side.
I just changed coolant to -40°F.

I'm 22 and I knew most of the stuff on here thanks to my dad!
There is a 11th maintainable item . A/C. Filter / pollen filter. usually found inside the dash board . Also needs ti be inspected or the dust must be cleaned
Thank u
nice vid
I wish there was a video that teaches you how to quickly check under the head to check if nothing is inside like rodents, leaves, what not. Or if no cable has broken from vibrations or again, rodents. I feel like my engine is overheating. The cooling fan keeps turning on after parking and it's freezing outside.
This host is a legend
U forgot headlights & taillights brakes and rotors
Thanks. I can do most of them, except changing tires and windscreen wiper. 😂
The windshield wiper is one of the easiest things to change. Tires aren't complicated(loosen the bolts, jack the car up, remove the bolts, remove the tire, put the spare on, bolt it on, jack the car back down), but it's a lot of effort to where it's easier to just pump air into the tires as a temporary fix unless you had a blowout(I had a used tire disintigrate on my Versa, which is a small car to be having a blowout and luckily it had an actual spare).
Thanks for your efforts. It would be lovely if you turned the background music down a little bit.
Nice
