This dude could straight up charge for a mechanics class with how great of a teacher he is, but instead he's decided to be an absolute pillar of the entry-level car guy community. Bless you, man. The world is better with you around.

Neighbour, having a coffee in his kitchen, after helping Chris push his old car over the road, suddenly hears his old car burst into life, after being in Chris' driveway for thirty minutes, spits coffee across the floor 😆😆😅

This is why Chris is such a great YouTuber. Most other guys would have just made a video showing us how to fix the timing problem. Chris took the pains of showing us all of the possible problems so that we could learn more. Kudos to you Chris!

Dude! My friends neighbor said he has 3 cars in his yard that dont work, and he doesnt want it, It was nice cars, a Cadillac ATS, a Volvo V40, and a Audi A8! He had a lot of money and was retired, he gave it to me saying it doesnt work but instead just tries to, After this video I fixed all of them! Its crazy! I sold the Cadillac and the Volvo with the origional owners concent and kept the Audi A8 as a personal preference.

Thanks alot Chris. This boosted everything for me!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the dedication Chris has? After 2 and a half years, he still hearts comments and replies to them. Incredible.

Old car: *doesn't run*

Chris: And I took that personally

Im almost 13 but i fixed my dads car because of this video. ChrisFix KING

[kawairichard]

Chris, you probably wont see this but youve been with me my whole journey. From teaching and inspiring me to work on my car to going to tech school and becoming an industrial technician. Honestly man, you deserve every shred of money and respect that the world can offer you. Almost every comment here is someone that you helped.

Mechanic: “nah sorry mate can’t fix it, it’s unfixable”
ChrisFix: “hold my soapy wooder”

[Airbender]

If Chris doesn't establish a nationwide mechanic shop and detailing center, I'm going to be very disappointed.

[johnuhelski]

It amazes me that some mechanics will just throw expensive parts at a problem . No system tests, no thought whatsoever as to cost. I love the step by step process you use. I have lost count of all the motorized things I have fixed using the same exact method . Well done Chris.

Fuel, air, spark, compression, the four requirements lived in harmony until the timing belt went slack

[TndPnyRCofficial]

In my case, my 95 4Runner died on me two days ago

AIR ✅
Spark ✅
Compression ✅
Timing ✅ (changed my timing belt when I replaced my water pump)
Fuel ❌ (checked the fuel rail and wasn’t spraying fuel. Culprit on my case is a bad fuel pump)

Thanks for the info Chris

[HighlightsManufacturer]

Mechanic: This car is dead for good
Chris: Hold my torque wrench/blinker fluid/medium strength threadlocker/breaker bar/soapy wooder/whatever else

[Fmily]

The thing I love about your videos is even if you don't need a certain fix, you still tell us how to fix it. It would be so easy for you to skip something because your car doesn't need it, but the fact you tell us the signs and things to try for symptoms your car isn't showing is awesome!

[mustafaoguz]

The 26 dislikes are the staff from your neighbors Mechanic 😂

Great Video as always

[UltimateMaking]

Sad to see how shitty some mechanics are

[shayneh]

I can't stop watching these videos. What I like, he's not putting it up on a lift. He's working on cars in his driveway like we'd all do. Thank you so much for the insight you provide!!

[eelcogg]

And this is exactly why I started working on my own cars. Shops cannot diagnose a problem anymore, all they want to do is replace a bunch of parts that may be related to the issue. ChrisFix has saved me a ridiculous amount of money plus the satisfaction of fixing your own stuff is amazing.

[THESANCHEZBROWN]

This is easily the best, most logical and clearest (sound-wise as well) video I’ve ever watched on the internet 🙏🏾
