TWO shops couldn't fix this '13 Challenger! CAR WIZARD's team had it fixed in an hour! Crazy simple!

Having an actual good mechanic is invaluable.

The one thing that really stands out about Wizard is his honesty.. He gives the credit where its due to the right person and does not claim the victory for himself. Very few people have this level of integrity and honesty to put the workers in the front and present them as problem fixer.

What really bugs me about the shop that just replaced the spark plug and coil is they couldve easily verified their "diagnosis" by swapping them with another cylinder and seeing if the misfire moved. Ive gained a lot of customers who came to me after another shop has fired the parts cannon, charged them hundreds of dollars, and didnt fix the issue.

Once again Wizard, all credit to you for crediting 'Daniel Son' for doing the work. Only a good boss would champion his staff like you. All success you get is down to you being one of the generous guys. Iain Tyrell in England does exactly the same on his channel. Both a credit to the motor trade.

I had a 1985 Jaguar XJ6 with a rough idle. I took it to the two best independent Jaguar shops on the East Coast. Both shops were unable to fix it. Out of desperation I took it to an Exxon gas station that had a mechanic who did basic work: brakes, rotors, tires. He fixed it in five minutes. It was right on top of the engine: the fuel pressure regulator was clogged. Lesson learned. The so-called independent "specialist" shops might not be so great.

"Bob's Plumbing Bakery and Dodge Challenger repair, how may I help you?"

"IT'S STILL NOT FIXED" This is a worldwide problem as I have specialised in rescuing certain cars that previous frustrated owners have simply given up on and moved on. It takes a lot of time to fully investigate problems. Yes lots of time and plugging into the OBD rarely provides the full picture.

This Challenger looks like it was relatively taken care of and not abused. Seeing the chassis how dry it is, reminds me of the Dodge I owned, it was one of the most trouble free cars I ever had.

You guys are good mechanics and good people. If I could I would definitely bring my vehicles to you.

My dad used to say a “genuine” mechanic diagnosis the issue and adjusts or replaces the defective part. A glorified “parts puller” keeps putting on new parts hoping they will get lucky. It is amazing the electronic diagnostic equipment that many shops have today, but without the knowledge of how systems work is of little help. Wizard it seems that you have both the equipment you need and the mechanical knowledge to diagnose problems and employ people with similar skills.

That’s why you pay those shady shops by credit card, immediate charge back. Great video as always Wizard!

The Wizard knows to give his mechanics credit when credit is due. That’s the mark of a great leader. He also has hired some great mechanics and will showcase their skills. Car Ninja does the same. Two great shops.

Defining "MDS" and other acronyms for the uninitiated into the world of Chrysler products would be really helpful. Daniel-San did a great job, and I'm glad he also has his own channel. Thanks to you and Mrs. Wizard for another helpful and informative video. What product did Daniel-San use to remove the oxidation on the connectors?

Fun to see this. A 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T was the first dip of my toe into becoming an enthusiast and the first new car I bought for myself.

My son started out his adult life pursuing a career as an auto service tech. He worked at a Dodge dealership initially, worked his way up from oil changes to engine replacements and general repair. He then moved to an independent shop that worked on all brands. He enjoyed the work, but one thing that really drove him crazy was some of the older techs were nothing more than parts hangers- one in particular would waste his time trying to get him to fire the parts cannon at a car to get it out quicker, that was how he made his money. My son complained to the shop owner (also his instructor at the local tech college) to no avail. Eventually he grew tired of the parts hanger and the poor reputation the shop was developing due to the sheer number of returns for cars not correctly fixed and joined the Navy. He's now a service foreman at a large tire manufacturer, supervising a crew of 10 techs that maintain the machines used in tire manufacturing. He still works on his own cars and helps his friends with their own maintenance and repairs. I so wish there was a shop like Omega near me.

Lol I have been having this same problem!!! On my 2011 chrysler 300c same cylinder and everything! Same things replaced! I'm gonna do exactly what was stated in the video!

Raiman Ray just posted a Charger which had been to several shops who couldn't figure out what's wrong and fired the parts cannon. This is becoming an epidemic

So when I was younger, I had a 1997 Toyota Camry with about 217,000 miles on it. Ran great. Then I started getting electrical issues. The radio started to turn off and the lights would flicker. While on the highway you would have no issues but idling or stopped, then the problems would pop up. I put a new battery on it, new plugs, wires, new alternator, and several other new parts (some of it was just needed maintenance) but still this issue would not go away. Finally I parked it because It wasn't being reliable enough. Sometime later, I decided to finally figure out what was going on. I ended up doing some electrical diagnosis and went into the fuse box in the engine. I checked them all (like I had in the past) and pulled out one that was a bit larger and realized it had been sitting a bit higher than the others. It was never supposed to be "pulled out" or be sitting higher. It was the type that takes a screw to hold it in. The previous owner had gotten in there for some reason, had pulled so hard, it broke the lower half of this little fuse/box away from the screw that held it in and they had just shoved this thing back where it came from and over time, it worked its way loose and that's what caused the intermittent electrical issues. Bought a new one for cheap, installed it correctly and fixed the car. I learned a lot from that. Don't throw parts at things and take the time to diagnose! I bought a Toyota Tundra since then and sold the car and it is still running with the new owner!

Thank goodness my mechanic is pretty honest, I've had a few car problems (with different cars) that stumped him. Not everyone is a "Car Wizard" and I let my guy know that I appreciate his honesty and I don't begrudge him for paying for his time looking into it. Sometimes we'll work as a team to find the solution. In the end we always sort it out. 👍

That guy did some work, figuring that out. I have definitely seen issues in Cars that are directly related to: Poor Connection Issues. It's nice to see a shop that clearly takes care of its people. Not all shops really want to: Give the tech the time. Or Pay Them For It. It's awesome to see some skills at work. I wish my dealership was like that.
