Just gotta say, youre timing is insane. Starter went out today. You have saved me nearly $1000 in labor costs to date. Thank you for all you do. There arent many comments here but I know thousands of people (especially low income) could not be more thankful for such an amazing teacher on youtube while we tinker and learn about our cars.

Just saved about $450 for this replacement. You guys are single handedly responsible for me not wanting to drive this Altima off a cliff!

[jsgiardino]

Just the best car repair videos out there. Saved me thousands over the years and given me the confidence to replace almost any part on my car.

For what it is, the editing for this video is very clean! Thank you for making clear and informative videos like this one.

There's a lot of places to buy parts but I buy some 1aauto because of this videos.
You've saved me a ton in labor!
The woman mechanic showed me how to do wheel bearings on an 05 Lexus ES330

Thank you sir
Why can’t everyone make a simple video without having to give there life story before telling us how to not fix the problems
So again thank you I can always count on you and your channel to get any job done

[rvstlungofficial]

Everything I have learned about my cars I have learned from you guys! Thank you so much! I’ll never go to a mechanic again

Excellent video - no fluff or bs or click bait. Just a straight up installation video with good information to supplement the replacement of the starter.

This was hairy for me because I didn't have the right extension. Mine were too long or too short. 6inch would've been perfect. Overall not a bad repair at all, but I could not have done it without your video. It covered all the necessary parts and you saved me some hassle by stating which size sockets I would need for each bolt. Thank you!

These videos have legitimately saved me thousands of dollars

A word of warning. These starters will give you about a months warning in advance when they are going out. I tried stretching that and had to get the car towed home, luckily I wasn't far. Great Video

I had no idea where the starter was. This video seriously helped me get my girls car started this morning. She praised me in more ways then one lol. Thanks bud!! Instant follow!

[luisalbertopadilla]

Your videos are great! I’ve worked on two separate issues using your videos and they were all clear and detailed. Thanks for helping us out!

[shaelantistwine]

All my girlies should watch! You guys were a big help with my throttle body now it’s time for the starter! Thanks you guys!

[kooolaid]

I just wanted to say thank you very much for this video. I have the same exact model car and your video made installing the starter very easy. Thank you for taking time and making this video. We are grateful to you!! 👏🏽👏🏽

[nathanielminassian]

you guys are literally the best have helped me change my alternator my spark plugs my starter and throttle body love you guys !

[leofournier]

Thank you for this video. Got stranded on a road trip and this helped solve my problem. Was just a bit difficult finding the starter on the stick shift model but other than that thank you 🙏🏽

This is the best instructional video for changing a Nissan X trail T30 Automatic trans starter Motor. Thanks heaps would give 10 thumbs up if I could :) Took me 1.5 days to sort out. Can Confirm the same tools work (17mm Bolts etc.). You just need to remove the whole Air filter Box and unfasten the wire from throttle Body and other hook ups. No need to get under Car. Same part works. Thanks so much for vid ended up gettin a new part in for $300AU (including $80 worth of tools (breaker bar etc.)). Pixked up new starter from Repco on the spot for $211. All up saves me $600 Au easy :) cheerz big Earz

Thank you So Much for this video. I had never heard of you guys before but you have earned my business. I will always check you first from now on when I need parts. These videos are extremely well done. I’ve made tutorials videos and I know how difficult and time consuming they can be.
