Found this guy stranded in the parking lot with his son. He said it just shut off on him. Did some diagnoses and found that the retaining plate for the distributor was so loose and allowed the distributor to jump up and jump a couple of teeth! The rotor is supposed to be pointing to cylinder 1 at TDC compression stroke(learned that from my dad when I was a kid)
Got everything lined up where its supposed to be and she fired right up but was running rough. Got my timing light out and disconnected the advanced ignition wire and lined her up at "TDC 0⁰" and shut her off, tightened the distributor with some blue locktite and reconnected the advanced ignition wire. Started her back up and she was sounded so good.
Didn't charge the guy a penny and told him to pay it foward and sent him on his way!

Customer claimed he took off kinda hard and it started knocking really loud so he parked it and shut it off. Later he called me to see wtf happened to his truck and when I put it in drive, it scared tf outta me lmao it was sooooo loud! Shook the entire truck!!
Long story short, either a rear differential rebuild or a whole used rear diff swap!

New CV axle on this 2015 Toyota Rav4! Had the job done in 20 minutes!

Vibrating/shaking only when on the gas pedal at any speed, clicking/popping when making sharp turns, loud clunking noise when engaging into gear, or black grease leaking from the boots are obvious signs that your cv axle needs replacing!

Replaced an EGR valve on a 2008 Honda 3.5l! (My favorite engines btw)
Customer said his car had a hard start and it was running rough when it finally did start. Came out and verified, hes not a liar 😂
Put my cheap code scanner on it and it literally had 16 codes for cylinder 1 to cylinder 6 misfires and an egr solenoid malfunction code. I told the customer that it MAY be stuck open and is allowing burnt exhaust air back into the engine which may be causing the hard starting and misfire due to exhaust air recycling back into the intake(low oxygen at that point) and at the same time, causing the engine to run super lien. Didn't promise that it was the causing all of the issue since I didnt take anything off but regardless, the computer was throwing the egr code so it needed replacing.
Long story short, I pulled the part off and saw that it was stuck open as I predicted and threw a new part on it with a new gasket and that fu**er started up super fast and on a cold start too! It coughed and struggled for a couple of seconds but after that, it ran like a top. Reved it up a bit and shut it off and started it back up 3 times and it acted like nothing was ever wrong!

Get you a mechanic that knows how to diagnose, and not just replace parts to get paid.
I actually care about my customers!

Hey guys, i wanted to let you all know that I will be temporarily closing for the remainder of the month. Due to my ongoing projects and my actual job, I’m unable to get to everyone that's been reaching out, which means im losing more customers than I gain.

I appreciate everyone that's been reaching out and I apologize for any inconvenience. I'll make posts when im all caught up again.

Client claims someone replaced rear brakes and it had a spongy pedal that went to the floor when he got it back. He tried to contact the pos and dude blew him off saying it wasnt his doing.
Client called me and when I came out to diagnose, I found that the rear calipers were on the wrong sides lol ill make a video soon on why its important!
