So it's been a while because I was severely sick for 2 weeks (really bad food poisoning or a stomach virus) and I couldn't even get out of bed. I haven't been sick for over 10yrs but man did this one hit me hard! Luckily I am all better but please please please follow me on Facebook or Instagram (I like instagram better) so you can get updates and know what's happening between videos! I try my best to keep you guys in the loop and for everyone who does follow me thanks for all the support and messaging me "get well soon" because it helped!

Seeing his mom walk out and put her hands on her hips like that while he was revving it was my absolute favorite part. I can recall so many times my mom giving me and my buddies the same look. That’s what makes ChrisFix so relatable and enjoyable!

ChrisFix: revs up
MomFix : what’s this noise?
ChrisFix: that’s enough

Hey Chris, thanks for being a teacher. I recently had my car totaled and insurance payed about half the vehicle worth. (no I wasn't at fault) I ended up buying a 2001 civic ex that looked roughed up but drove smooth. Got home to realize the guy cleared the codes on the car and hid a lot of the issues. Ive spent days working on it with rented hand tools from Auto-zone and borrowing some from my brother in law. Ive had to take it to a mechanic for some stuff that was out of my depth but your videos are the best. I was always anxious about messing things up but seeing you do it with such clear instructions, amazing tips most people would forget to mention, and using hand tools has changed my perspective. The car has potential, nobody else can see it and they keep pushing me to sell it. I'm going to prove everyone wrong thanks to you though, even if i end up replacing every single inch of that car over the coming years. Right now I'm stuck just trying to afford to keep it in running condition, but I plan on making it my own. I haven't had any mechanical experience before a week ago but i replaced my entire suspension system already, replaced a fuel pump that went out on me while driving. The power steering pump is next and I'm sure you have a video covering that lol. I also have an interview for a service tech apprentice at my local Honda dealership tomorrow. Wish me luck!

P.S. <3

It’s been 3 years since this video came out and Chris is still reading these comments. I love it

[ChauhanDynasty]

Your neighbour's didn't showed up but your mom showed up, that was lovely 😅😅😅

[mattm]

15:09 momfix is not happy about all the noise lmao

Chris notices her “okay that’s enough”

This is the best channel. As someone who got into cars late in life, (32) working on cars can be intimidating. I have learned so much from the internet but your videos have helped me the most by FAR. So much detailed information and presented in a clear and concise way that doesn't lose my attention. Thank you Chris. Installing my AWE touring exhaust on my 21 WRX tomorrow morning and will be using a lot of the tips from this video. Especially the cold water one since I have to drive the car to the spot I am installing it. I wish you all the best.

ChrisFix: Vroom Vroom

MamaFix: Whooooah there buckaroo

[bigdckbob]

Who else came down here to see comments about his mom coming outside

[damikho]

Love how this vid is 3 yeas old but chris is still replying to all the new comments

[lordorochimaru]

There’s a lot of guys that make car videos but Chris is the only one I understand. The angles and the simplification of the info being offered is a fantastic combination for my learning.

[DominickNicolai]

You deserve every penny you get for these videos...such attention to detail

[matthewbeach]

This is why Chris fix is the best diy channel right now. It probably takes 2-3 times as long to do a job when you’re filming this way and you could have just chosen a few camera angles and called it a day, but no you film each nut and bolt clearly and then edit it and add voice overs so that it’s extremely clear for everyone. Beautiful

12:54 - 12:58
what a smooth transition 👌

[Alex-xsiz]

When you watch his videos you just want to get up, go in your garage and do everything what he is doing to your car. Amazing job man keep it up

[Chris-syel]

I can't believe it's been five years since this came out. holy crap. I remember when this video first came out. This channel has come so far. It's crazy looking back and seeing how long ago this came out and how young I was watching it for the first time.

Since the audio is always so crisp and clean I always figured it's a voice over recorded off site, but then I always imagine ChrisFix doing all of his hand gestures, but silently.

Your advice of spraying bolts once a day for a few days before you attempt this is bang on! I've never had a problem with stuck bolts since I started doing it a year or so ago!

[frederik]

Hey Chris i really Think its cool you still check the new comments even on this 7 year Old video😮 You have really become one of my favourite creators and a role model, Thanks for making these videos👍
