My dad was a mechanic. I genuinely never thought I would lose him this soon. Thank you for making this.
I've been meaning to ask for more car related videos cause I need to learn more. And this came at perfect timing. Thank you Dad. Hope you have a great weekend 💚
Any chance we can get a video about side mirrors and fighting blind spots? City driving and blind spots are terrifying.
Chrisfix is a very good youtuber for that, he uses common tools to fix whatever need fix and goes in depth to make sure u can fix ur car ur self
@@nicademous6396 get a blind spot mirror for $2 at autozone and put on the bottom outside corners of the mirror
I love you will you marry me?
@@matteoc7084 Yes
Thanks! I love you, Dad!
I can’t even tell how thankful I am for what you do, I have never had a dad so most of the things you show I have never even known about.
Thanks dad 👨 ❤
how's your family? I hope everyone's doing well and having great holidays
Please take a break dad you deserve it. We are all so proud of you ❤
I never had a father figure until I came across your channel and you've help me alot about learning cars, and what dad's would do around the house.
Thank you soo much dad.
Thank you so much dad! My mom and I was struggling with that, but thanks to this video, my mom's car will be ready to drive again! Big hugs from 🇨🇵🥖🥐💕🤗
Lol
My dad just passed away in October. I now need these videos. I hadn't gotten to ask my dad everything I needed to know to live by myself.
My mum managed to cover a lot for me growing up. Car related things is something she’s been struggling to help me with and for some reason I’ve always felt embarrassed going to other people about it (and most stuff on the internet confuses the hell out of me). I really want you to know how much this and all your content has seriously helped me (and so many others I’m sure) 💗 thank you so much ☺️
may be you can join classes at a technical school? They will teach you all you need to know about car stuff.
Hey man, a friend of mine posted one of your videos on Facebook. I just wanted to say, as a man that also grew up without a dad, I think it's awesome what you're doing.
this channel might just be the most wholesome thing on this app, this man takes time out of his day to teach people how to do simple life things, this man deserves more praise then he already gets, thank you ❤️
I might be in my mid 30's, but I just lost my dad to cancer last year. I was his little girl. And although he did a lot for me, he also taught me how to do a lot myself. However... So often I wish I could go to him and say "Hey Dad... how do I do...?" I just stumbled upon your videos by falling down the TH-cam rabbit hole and I'm so glad I did! Thank you so much for being a Dad to all who need one! I wish I could give you a hug! 🥰 God bless you! ❤️
Thank you, Dad. Appreciate your time. ❤️
my dad left a few months after I was born and your channel has helped me a lot, keep going so even though it doesn't seem like it, you help many children and teenagers who don't have a dad, keep it up
It’s always good to give your car a good once over when doing this. Checking tires, hoses, belts, and battery. Also a quick look under the car to make sure everything is still attached properly. Nothing dangling loose. Especially here in the Midwest little clips and stuff rust away and it’s a lot cheaper to replace a clip than say your skid plate, muffler, or more dangerous things like wiring, fuel lines, or brake lines.
Also forgot one. If you have one your air filter. Especially in places with a lot of pollen, dust, etc. Your car needs to breathe. If you live where I do make sure your car has not been used for a squirrels acorn storage 🙄 lol.
He's got a video about changing an air filter, too.
My parents helped me get my second car a few months ago. I’m really grateful for it, and am trying to maintain it better than my last one. We did our research this time around and my car only had one previous owner who took really good care of it. I just put air in the tires this morning and I decided to check and top off/replace my fluids soon, so this is perfect timing❤️
Hi Dad! Great Dad joke. 👍👏 Always great info. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
I’m literally crying. Thanks for being a dad to the dad less (like me)
Great video! Just remember that when you're checking your engine oil, you should take the following steps: 1. Make sure the car isn't running. 2. Pull out the dipstick. 3. Wipe the dipstick clean, as the level will read high since the oil splashes around inside when the car is running. 4. Re-insert the dipstick and wait a few seconds. 5. Pull the dipstick out and check it.
I'm loving the beard!
I actually bought a new car 2 weeks ago and my parents not knowing a whole lot (their cars runs perfectly fine however needs some more love) I want to treat and take care of my car for myself now! This is perfect timing!
My dad and I used to work on cars all the time
Until he passed. I’m so glad I was up late night scrolling and found your TH-cam.
Thank you for doing what you do
I'm actually going on a road trip next week for Thanksgiving. Thanks Dad!
I really appreciate you man I want to become a mechanic I’m a big car enthusiast and your videos help me out a lot👍🏼🙏
As somebody who has lost their Dad, I would always go to him for things like this. Thank you ❤️
I can't say how much this means honestly. Thank you.
Thank you dad! I have one,,,, he is and not been present. He never bothered to teach us. Never bothered to put time. Thank you dad
God bless you we need more people just like you ❤️❤️
When my dad was in my life, I was little and I'd always want to go outside with him when he was working on the cars to watch, but he'd never want to teach me anything because I was a girl and would hand me a broom instead to sweep the garage... so thank you for teaching me things I didn't even know existed in this video.
You are the best! I got a car recently and my dad is too old and sick to remember how to teach me anything, so I’m grateful for your channel and videos on car maintenance. Bless you !
I just lost my dad last month, after a very long illness, so I can relate.
💚
I found when explaining which side of the vehicle is in question….it’s easier and more specific to say drivers side or passenger side. As in front passenger side or back drivers side. Otherwise people are usually left guessing. Also gas fill up is usually on your dash instrumentation…..whatever side the gas icon is it ends up being the same side as your fill or gas cap is.
As a guy who grew up in the Bronx without a dad I take much pride in knowing majority of the things I learned in life I figured out on my own, some came easy some came the hard way … I was very fortunate to have my grandfather for some time and my uncle rich to call on when in need…I know how much this page can mean to a kid growing up with just his mom when he needs a man’s help or advice …. You have all of my repsect sir, thank you for doing this … the world needs more guys like you… happy new year
Perfect timing! Yesterday I was thinking that I haven't checked my car's fluids since I got it like 8 months ago. Thank you
What about blinker fluid??🤣🤣🤣
I literally just found you tonight and you already told me so much more about how to take care of my car vs my real dad. Because I just got my first car I have no clue how to take care of it. Thank you so much! God bless you too!!!

Your content is so wholesome! I’m a mom youtuber and I try to make helpful videos. I truly appreciate your videos! I never had an active father figure in my life and I tear up with your channel!
Thank you so much for this, I don't know enough about cars and am preparing to learn more before I get my first one!
Thank you so much for being a virtual dad. I needed this video so much today. I appreciate how you offer your help to all of us.
Love what you are doing❤❤❤ growing up without a father figure is hard and you are helping a lot of people
Dude you are awesome. This is the first video I've watched on this channel and I already learned way more than I knew before. Keep up the great work!
The beard looks good, consider keeping it. "Washboats" is a good acronym. Thanks for all that you do. God bless.
as someone that grew up without a dad I find your videos so helpful keep it up you re a legend
I've also seen the hood release on the floor right by the drivers seat (just a little farther down from where his was in the video)
and sometimes the hood safety latch needs to be pushed to the side instead of down, i know mine does and it confused me at first lol
Thank you for these videos! They’re super healthful. :)
This man is more of a father figure to me than my real father
Me too.
Thank you so much for this video! There are a lot of car-related things that I need to know how to do. This was super helpful and I'm definitely going to check out your video on how to jump start a car next!
Thank you for this. May you always have good health and many blessings
Sir you are a real hero for this I just got my first good car not too long ago and I sadly don’t know to much about the general maintenance. Thank you so much for the help I hope you see this :)
Genuinely the best channel put there. Hope you had a great new years!!
Thank you!!! Valuable information, especially this time of year.
Thanks for doing this! I’m surprised more folks aren’t here with ya. I had to get a job at Walmarts auto center to learn this. By that time I was 24 yrs.
Now, I life in USA, I am learning English I have not seen my father 1 year and a half ago, I can speak with he and I do everyday but those videos, have me crying:( thank you for do this ✌🏼
Thank you soooo much for making this video! Saved it to keep handy. I’ll keep “Wash BOATS” in mind when I next pop the hood of my car. This is such an easy way to remember things. 🙏
Looking forward to the next vid!
Blessings to you and your beautiful family. ☺️
Thank you for all that you do!! ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for posting this video! I am getting ready to drive from Florida to Indiana and wasn't sure what to check or what the containers might look like!

The beard looks great on you! I just bought and change my windshield wipers for the first time by myself. I had look up what adapter to use.

Thanks, dad 🙏🏼
Brake fluid: if your going to be driving through the mountains you will also want to test brake fluid for percentage of water. Brake fluid is hygroscopic ( meaning sucks in moisture from air) water brings down brake fluid resistant to boil over
Oil: to check oil level you want to have car on flat ground. Have a paper towel. Pull out the dip stick wipe that off (oil slush throws off reading) re dip putting it back in completely, pull out at check.
Coolant DONT JUST PUT WATER IN. Coolant is a 50/50 mix of concentrate and water.
Trans fluid: same as engine oil. But have the car running and warm. Bonus check color red - good brown- old/ think of replacing black- replace
Also check tire tread and pressure. You can do this by heading to your locale O’reillys and borrowing there’s
Check battery- also at any auto parts store they have car battery testers. WARNING: auto parts store people will man-splain you. Half their shit is stupid.
“Hey kids” HEY DADDD
Thanks dad! we hope you're doing good god bless you too ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for making this
