  • This dude could straight up charge for a mechanics class with how great of a teacher he is, but instead he's decided to be an absolute pillar of the entry-level car guy community. Bless you, man. The world is better with you around.

    Chris: carefully puts paper towel and a cup to prevent fuel spilling everywhere. The fuel: spills everywhere but in the cup 😭
  • @OneOffization
    This is why Chris is such a great YouTuber. Most other guys would have just made a video showing us how to fix the timing problem. Chris took the pains of showing us all of the possible problems so that we could learn more. Kudos to you Chris!

    Old car: doesn't run Chris: And I took that personally
  • Dude, this is, by far, the most informative video I have seen on YouTube on diagnosing ever. Every single step of the way was very clear and it wasn't one of those hour-long videos that I end up sleeping through. I've seen some of your content here and there but today, I'm a subscriber. Keep up the excellent work as I'll be looking for more educational videos. You are a huge value to many. Thanks.

    Chris, you probably wont see this but youve been with me my whole journey. From teaching and inspiring me to work on my car to going to tech school and becoming an industrial technician. Honestly man, you deserve every shred of money and respect that the world can offer you. Almost every comment here is someone that you helped.

    Neighbour, having a coffee in his kitchen, after helping Chris push his old car over the road, suddenly hears his old car burst into life, after being in Chris' driveway for thirty minutes, spits coffee across the floor 😆😆😅
  • Why would you go to a mechanic when ChrisFix is your neighbor 🤦🏻‍♂️
  • @johnuhelski8613
    It amazes me that some mechanics will just throw expensive parts at a problem . No system tests , no thought whatsoever as to cost. I love the step by step process you use. I have lost count of all the motorized things I have fixed using the same exact method . Well done Chris.

    Dude! My friends neighbor said he has 3 cars in his yard that dont work, and he doesnt want it, It was nice cars, a Cadillac ATS, a Volvo V40, and a Audi A8! He had a lot of money and was retired, he gave it to me saying it doesnt work but instead just tries to, After this video I fixed all of them! Its crazy! I sold the Cadillac and the Volvo with the origional owners concent and kept the Audi A8 as a personal preference. Thanks alot Chris. This boosted everything for me!

    His neighbor watching from his window be like:👁👄👁 Edit: 2 years later and it's the top comment with so many likes... dangg
  • @Revved_up_jb
    Mechanic: “nah sorry mate can’t fix it, it’s unfixable” ChrisFix: “hold my soapy wooder”
  • @mattikrakus
    And now tell me, how the heck did the professional mechanic end up with changing expensive parts, rather than follow this 5 logical steps to diagnose the problem?! And that’s why I love this channel: when you DIY you at least got a chance to do it right💪🏼🤪
  • @Fmily
    The thing I love about your videos is even if you don't need a certain fix, you still tell us how to fix it. It would be so easy for you to skip something because your car doesn't need it, but the fact you tell us the signs and things to try for symptoms your car isn't showing is awesome!
  • @DxrkTerminal
    Can we just take a moment to appreciate the dedication Chris has? After 2 and a half years, he still hearts comments and replies to them. Incredible.
  • @sawguhdoh1176
    This is the first video of you I saw on YouTube when it was came out. I usually come back here every year and watch it because everything starts here. My mechanic life start here. The celebration you did when you start the car. Spark my heart and I’m in love with your videos ever since. I got into a car because of you. You got me into car and I would never forget you. Thank you CF. May God bless you.
