Also, I got another discount code for 25% off your entire order from Advance Auto... Use code "RADIATOR" for 25% off anything (not just radiators). I got that code for you guys and for myself lol... I dont make any money off of it and the idea is to try to make fixing your car even more affordable, so put it to good use!!!

Chrisfix be like “Hey guys we’re gonna replace two headlights today’s but I also decided to pick up a new bumper and V8 engine to do a nice quick and easy engine swap.”

Other YouTube mechanics “ alright YoUTubE where gonna be changing some oil” 30 mins later “alright guys so that was the first screw.”

Imma take a second to brag about this guy. This guy is help people of all ages that don’t know how to do this stuff. For those who’s parents don’t have the time to help or the knowledge to help there kids with this stuff on their first vehicle he is always right here. He makes my life a lot easier I can say this for sure. Thank you Chrisfix and never stop uploading these very helpful and satisfying videos.

Though I rarely work on my car cos I dont have all those tools. Still you help me inspect most of my car problem. You are the man saving people being ripped off by mechanics.

First ever repair job on my car and it went smoothly, with replacing my radiator. I’ve been following your channel for a while but finally put the knowledge I learned to good use. Thanks for saving me a ton of money, and learning a new skill in life 🙌

When I was 14 I got my first truck at a local scrapyard it was 1994 ford ranger XLT extended cab 4.0L standard. It was in horrible shape it needed a clutch and the interior needed to be redone and they ripped the radiator out for scrap and the A/C didn’t work so I spent my summer fixing that truck up and the first thing I did was replaced the water pump and radiator. Then I did the clutch then the interior I put a new headliner in and took the carpet out and washed it and the seat covers as well then I got the A\C working I put propane as the Freon and it puts out 15or20 at its coldest. It was a fun learning experience! I still drive it to this day! (I’m 17 now) Amazing truck. I love how stock it is and I plan on leaving it that way!

I did the whole radiator cap thermostat and hoses Monday on my dodge Dakota but I’m still watching because i love your videos

[billykumang]

Chris is not just a mechanic but a car doctor. I don't know if that does make sense but he's more than a mechanic. I'm glad I stumbled upon this channel.
