My dad was a mechanic. I genuinely never thought I would lose him this soon. Thank you for making this.

I've been meaning to ask for more car related videos cause I need to learn more. And this came at perfect timing. Thank you Dad. Hope you have a great weekend 💚

[medievaldaybreak]

I can’t even tell how thankful I am for what you do, I have never had a dad so most of the things you show I have never even known about.

[RealSlaz]

I never had a father figure until I came across your channel and you've help me alot about learning cars, and what dad's would do around the house.
Thank you soo much dad.

My dad just passed away in October. I now need these videos. I hadn't gotten to ask my dad everything I needed to know to live by myself.

[teaseekinggremlin]

Thanks dad 👨 ❤
how's your family? I hope everyone's doing well and having great holidays
Please take a break dad you deserve it. We are all so proud of you ❤

[keris]

I’m literally crying. Thanks for being a dad to the dad less (like me)

[donutsdulce]

Thank you so much dad! My mom and I was struggling with that, but thanks to this video, my mom's car will be ready to drive again! Big hugs from 🇨🇵🥖🥐💕🤗

When my dad was in my life, I was little and I'd always want to go outside with him when he was working on the cars to watch, but he'd never want to teach me anything because I was a girl and would hand me a broom instead to sweep the garage... so thank you for teaching me things I didn't even know existed in this video.

Hey man, a friend of mine posted one of your videos on Facebook. I just wanted to say, as a man that also grew up without a dad, I think it's awesome what you're doing.

My mum managed to cover a lot for me growing up. Car related things is something she’s been struggling to help me with and for some reason I’ve always felt embarrassed going to other people about it (and most stuff on the internet confuses the hell out of me). I really want you to know how much this and all your content has seriously helped me (and so many others I’m sure) 💗 thank you so much ☺️

I might be in my mid 30's, but I just lost my dad to cancer last year. I was his little girl. And although he did a lot for me, he also taught me how to do a lot myself. However... So often I wish I could go to him and say "Hey Dad... how do I do...?" I just stumbled upon your videos by falling down the YouTube rabbit hole and I'm so glad I did! Thank you so much for being a Dad to all who need one! I wish I could give you a hug! 🥰 God bless you! ❤️

[freddiespencer]

this channel might just be the most wholesome thing on this app, this man takes time out of his day to teach people how to do simple life things, this man deserves more praise then he already gets, thank you ❤️

[benjaesmoris]

my dad left a few months after I was born and your channel has helped me a lot, keep going so even though it doesn't seem like it, you help many children and teenagers who don't have a dad, keep it up

[gamerprincess]

It’s always good to give your car a good once over when doing this. Checking tires, hoses, belts, and battery. Also a quick look under the car to make sure everything is still attached properly. Nothing dangling loose. Especially here in the Midwest little clips and stuff rust away and it’s a lot cheaper to replace a clip than say your skid plate, muffler, or more dangerous things like wiring, fuel lines, or brake lines.

Also forgot one. If you have one your air filter. Especially in places with a lot of pollen, dust, etc. Your car needs to breathe. If you live where I do make sure your car has not been used for a squirrels acorn storage 🙄 lol.

[Giveithope]

Thank you dad! I have one, , , , he is and not been present. He never bothered to teach us. Never bothered to put time. Thank you dad

[trishb]

Thank you, Dad. Appreciate your time. ❤️

[kyubfan]

My parents helped me get my second car a few months ago. I’m really grateful for it, and am trying to maintain it better than my last one. We did our research this time around and my car only had one previous owner who took really good care of it. I just put air in the tires this morning and I decided to check and top off/replace my fluids soon, so this is perfect timing❤️

[ShadowDog]

Great video! Just remember that when you're checking your engine oil, you should take the following steps: 1. Make sure the car isn't running. 2. Pull out the dipstick. 3. Wipe the dipstick clean, as the level will read high since the oil splashes around inside when the car is running. 4. Re-insert the dipstick and wait a few seconds. 5. Pull the dipstick out and check it.

I actually bought a new car 2 weeks ago and my parents not knowing a whole lot (their cars runs perfectly fine however needs some more love) I want to treat and take care of my car for myself now! This is perfect timing!
