Yes there are just too many shops that will take advantage of customers that don't know their car. Where I live there used to be a joke about Firestone service centers because they would always try to scare elderly drivers into a full exhaust replacement because "there was a leak and their grandchildren could die". So good of you to point it out and it is so good of you to provide an honest opinion to this new driver. Props to your ethical behavior you are awesome.
I witnessed a private mechanic telling my neighbor his car needed an engine rebuild because it had a rod knock. I didn't hear any rod knock, told him so after the mechanic left, he didn't trust me, paid to put another engine in... Later found out it was a small, inexpensive distributor problem.
Petr - our 2008 Camry Hybrid made it to 240,000+ miles before we replaced it. Very few repairs were needed. Both front wheel bearings were replaced at about 150K. 12v battery lasted 11 years before needing to be replaced! I put new pads in the back brakes at about 200K. Front pads still in great shape. Regen braking is a beautiful thing. Oil changes every 5K and tires every 50-60K. Doubt I will ever have such a great car ever again. This girl was robbed for all the brake work on that car - likely wasn’t necessary!
👍🏼Great job on the front bearing tutorial! The stethoscope is a nice touch for the professional mechanic! And I learned a lot about brake job scams too! You are just full of good information. Thank you Dr. Mumbles!😂
I definitely enjoy all your videos and for sure if I was close to your shop I would definitely let you work on my car. But I love watching your videos Peter
I am an old 1970’s mechanic and when we went from packed to lifetime bearings and we said it would happen from not greasing the bearings,i had a bad bearing in the back of my 1977 Nova and i heard it thru the chassis in the passenger door. Also he might not clean the engine when he is done with the oil change
Hi mr peter thank for your video i have learned a lot im have a problem with my Toyota etiose it is making humming noise it is coming from the left and if steering goes to the left side it becomes more but if i slightly goes to the right it finish and also my tyers threads they are finishing at the right side because of this video im going to buy my right side bearing and tyers
The Highlander 2002 i drive when temperature drops to 0 Celsius I hear an high pitch whistle. It might be exactly what you said about the bearing. By the way if the racers are not pitted some grease might help. Is it possible to grease the bearings?
Hello! I need help! 1999 Toyota 4Runner 2.7 4cylinder. Difficulty starting and I have a o2 sensor bank 1 code. To start, I have to press on the gas pedal like if it was carburetated. Then at idle it shake has a misfire.
I just changed front bearings and hubs now when I steer right like switching lanes or around a curve there’s a loud buzzing noise and vibration I can feel in gas pedal and wheel what is this?
At 172,000 miles, is it too late to change the transmission fluid? Meaning you’re better off with the old fluid than putting in new fluid, if it’s never been changed.
Yes I just enjoyed you mumbling about stuff about other shops and telling of stories. It's true. 😁 That car looked clean underneath for your area for some reason. The headlights need replacement. They are not too much. You have enough level shop floor to aim them there. I would find out where that leak is coming from and fix it. No one likes a dripper. LoL You said brand new calipers, are they that or they rebuilt? From experience, rebuilders strip the protective coating off and don't apply anything but maybe oil. They look great but get all rusty after a rain or two.
I had replaced the front pads on a work van a week before it went in for new tires. And the tire guy told the boss that the brakes were shot. I’m still mad about it because the boss believed him and not me.
Car tire places do that to both male and female driver. This is why I do my own tires from Walmart. I buy tires online from Walmart. Pick up the tires from the store. Then show up to Walmart without an appointment only if I come with the rims. Basically i avoid the appointment aspect by not requesting my car on a lift avoiding mounting and taking up a bay. They ONLY mount the tires to my rims, then i go home and mount the wheels myself. I only do 2 tires at a time and equally avoid over tightening of the lug nuts by the mechanic and hand tighten myself 😂 This is how I save BIG BUCKS ON MY TIRES, BALANCE AND MOUNTING
@@slalomking Whatever FLOATS YOUR THOROUGH BOAT......LOL I am sure there are A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO WANT TO SAVE BIG BUCKS. Maybe you got money to blow for that thorough treatment....🤣👌
It stinks that so many mechanics are shady, including at the dealer, that wants to drop my engine to fix timing chain cover oil "seepage" on 2012 ES350 with 2GRFE, cost of $2500, the oil isn't even dripping on the ground overnight, engine oil level does not drop between changes. Anyway, if I lived near you I'd bring my Lexus to you for service Petr.
I wouldn't complain about the guy who didn't want to work on it because "it's over my pay grade" . Beats having him work on something he don't know about and end up screwing up the car.

Love to hear your diagnoses.....especially the "mumbling" !!
Thanx Peter !!
Your "mumblings" are priceless, and...very educational. Thanks
It’s humming cuz it doesn’t know the words
Wheel bearing? Ha! I was right.

Well done peter, many years ago, i used to use a thin pipe to my ear when setting the webber carbs on my 1972 Lotus Elan !!
Thank you for the great videos and for injecting humour in them. Cheers my friend.👍🇨🇦🇺🇸

Watching from the State of Rhode Island as always-her Camry has turned into a-HUMMER. Peace Bro!

Thank you Peter.
Much appreciated.
Very interesting, very enjoyable to watch. I love to learn from you. Thanks!
Great job, as always, looking forward to episode 2 on this car.
I definitely enjoy all your videos and for sure if I was close to your shop I would definitely let you work on my car. But I love watching your videos Peter
Always appreciate the real world information I pick up thanks 👍
Great video. Just a question about the transmition fluid…if it hasn’t been changed for that long would it damage it if changed the oil?
CV axles seem new too! Rubber still shiny
Petr, Which CHP officer pulled her over, was it Jon or Poncho? 😉🤣
Harmonica stuck in the transgromulator.
Is undercoating a good or bad idea if we get a ton of snow and salt in area?

What happened to the tc? 😅

My CT200h is making a noise humming only at high speeds on a smooth road. I wonder if it is the bearing
I would normally say this is a CV joint on the left front wheel if you hear it more when turning left.
Bad CV joints make a clicking noise.
@@gogogeedus yep..I just figured she would have described either of them as grinding noise
The humming isn't bad, just be careful when it starts whistling Dixie.
Thanks for the tips. My car is having the same problem.
Where can I get the parts I need for my 2005 Toyota 4.7v8

Sounds like a lot of unnecessary work. Just find a tire shop you can trust. I like Sam’s, very thorough work.

I can’t imagine paying $600 for front and rear brakes. Crooks! Beyond that is robbery.

Car dealer salesmen & auto mechanics love to see especially women coming in alone to buy a car or come in for a service.
She was lucky that he replaced the parts, it is normal that they just get money
My car starts gyrating like a freaking donkey

Please try not to talk while listening for the noise it makes it hard to hear through the video
