I am a 20 year veteran on car maintenance and repair and I am really impressed with the content and correctness of his information. Shout out to knowing your stuff and giving out good info.

[clinteasthoood]

I've been a mechanic for 27, 000 years and Chris is speaking all the truth.

[ronaldboyd]

I have read/ watched many recommendations about trans fluid change. This is absolutely the best I have seen. Only been working on vehicles since 1958

[TheRealZOG]

I may only be 26 but I’ve been a mechanic for 52 years, and Chris has all the good info.

[thomasbrand]

I held the flashlight while my dad yelled at me, and I can confirm that all this information is absolutely correct 👍🏻

[jackfrench]

Been working on my own vehicles for 45 years, and Chris is putting out some good stuff here. Listen and learn. Wish we had the internet back in the 70's LOL. Thanks Chris.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Guys like Chris should be up for awards. Likes of Chris and a few others (not that many, really) who fully know their stuff. Should be recognized for their generosity to share skills and knowledge. My own car, a 61 Connie is in great shape largely because I've followed Chris from the start. Chris is no bs, no antics, no quirky shit, just show's "clearly" how to keep Connie in top shape. Max thanks dude.

I rarely leave comments....0001% of the time. This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. Literally answered every question I had on this topic before I proceeded.

I work in the service industry and I would love to show my customers this video. For some reason people don’t believe that there is fluid in their transmission and that it needs to be serviced at specific intervals, and when I tell them it’s time, they just think I’m trying to rip them off. This video is very accurate and breaks down pretty much everything you need to know. Great job and great video.

I've been a mechanic for 15 of my last 17 reincarnations and let me just tell you something, based on centuries of experience, Chris here is telling nothing but the truth! I just wish we had access to this information back in the middle ages!

[MartinIsRunning]

I learned all of these things piecemeal across a number of different forums in the early 2010s. My 1989 Cadillac Brougham was having noisy shifts and I decided to keep half the fluid in the drain pan and replace the other half. Considering I didn’t flush the cooler or the torque converter, I probably bought it another year… which is exactly how long I kept driving it.
Wish this video existed back then, because 20 year old Martin would’ve been thrilled to have all this info in one place! Great work!

[leonardofalcao]

A 7 years old video, ans still new and useful! Unfortunately not so many people spreads these kinds of content/knowledge. Thank you very much! Regards from Brazil.

[MadSceintist]

Next time I'll just share your link with customers. I get tired of explaining this to just about every other customer.

Great job sir

[GortFSE]

Out of my 19 years of life I’ve been a mechanic for 50 of those years and I can guarantee Chris is correct 👍🏻

[httarring]

Man! You leave no stone unturned! You cover every question anybody could have.👍👍👍

[richranchernot]

I have service my own vehicles for over 40 years and knew all of what you went over in the video, but this is the first video I have found that puts it all in one place. Great video!

[jbrestless]

It doesn't matter whether these videos are 5 months or 5 years old - they are always helping. Thank you ChrisFix for your knowledge.

[cornfusedatbest]

This guy never ceases to amaze me. Not only does he have knowledge, but the audio and visual is at its optimum. GOOD STUFF.

[daleburnfart]

As a mechanic who had to ensure Noah's Ark was fit for seaworthiness I can confirm after more than 4, 000 years Chris knows what he is talking about.

[cecillec]

Thank you so much. I used to do my own engine oil and filter change. Now as a senior citizen woman, I am not sure if I can do this transmission fluid flush, but I certainly appreciate all the helpful information presented so simply that I can even understand it. Now to find a mechanic I can trust for this service. This is the hardest part.
