Don’t worry about it! Quality over quantity all the way. Keep up the great videos man
Your better than mrbeast
Killer content, glad you're trying to make more this year.
Ok
U da best
What I love about this guy is, he is the only KZheadr I know that would genuinely link a free PDF to his car flipping checklist without any obligation for you to enter your email to be added to some sort of massive email list so he can sell you a bunch of his sponsors products. Hats off to this guy a very rare individual indeed. 💎
Well Stated Dominick . Truly helpful always.
Well, with 10 million subscribers I think he can offer free PDFs of a bit of content.
@Carlos Zenteno yeah but not everyone does do they?
well whatever you do dont give him any ideas....
👍🏻
- i offered him 2500 dollars - he came back to me at 3500 dollars - and in a classic negociation we met exactly in the middle at 2700 dollars best laugh of the day chris 😂😂😂you kick ass
Can't believe it's not in the top comments. Cracked me up so hard 😂
XD
Love it too, I have a feeling he's an Ed Bolian / Vinwiki fan :)
I was thinking at the same thing wondering If I was wrong actually 😂.
He took the ed bolian school of negotiation
Dude actually goes the extra steps. Not just going for quick cash grabs, but actually doing respectable work, whilst giving a second life to old equipment/cars.
Its the only way to do it. People nowadays aren't dumb and if you sell them garbage they will instantly tell everyone they know how much of a scammer u are lol.
@@user-vp9gi7wy3l not really lol many people would just be pissed and wouldn't do anything about it. And so many basically scam whilst selling anything, not just cars... "its the only way to do it." is completely and utterly wrong, and unrealistic.
how is that respectable its making used cars far more expensive
@@admiralkaede he showed you how to buy them cheap and broken too of you prefer. What's the problem?
@@EMlNEM2020 because market of supply and demand people buying up cheap cars and reselling them are ruining the market for those who actually need them
my mechanic wasn't happy when i told him i did it with a youtube video
😂😂😂
The mechanic thought he was the only one watching KZhead Videos
My dad used to watch your channel so much. He passed away four months back. Just came across your fresh video after all this time but without him. Miss watching with him. Thanks for all your content Chris. God bless you
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope you are doing ok
Chrisfix I have been watching you ever since you had 900 subscribers
I feel your pain bro, it’ll be a year with my dad in April, it’ll always creep back up on you, but the memories get easier and smiles becomes more frequent , give it time
Thank you my brother - God bless you
@@ishwinkoli8393 stop hijacking this guy's comment you tool...
Chris is almost at 10 million subs and he's still making videos the way he always did, no merch, no website with more videos, non of that bs, he cuts to the chase, gives good advice and good videos, and he always has, and still does. keep it up.
yep still waiting on that del-sol turbo kit video though.. been waiting probably a year or longer.. its been a long time.. i guess people forgot about that one..
@@turboimport95 Nope. It’s in the video and it’s in the works. You have to understand with a turbo kit and how he does his videos it’s not going to be done in a month. He will go into every single detail there is on truboing your setup. Everything from explaining hot and cold; manifold; tunes and fuel system… there is a tone of information that can come from this rather then some 20 year old in there parents garage showing them slapping a turbo kit on there car with a base tune all in a 10 minute video lol.
merch would be good to show our support to him though
@@justinguarino201 in the works... That teaser was like 2years ago bro. What kind of dope are you smoking
ye .-.
hey chris. just bought a 2004 hyundai sonata for $450 and it is running and driving, clean title, registered, and smogged. just had to replace hood and drivers side headlight and it loooks brand new. so stoked. watching this video inspires me to find more deals and flip them.
Awesome! That sounds like a great flip!
Very well done. May be the 1st of your vids I've seen. Professionally I've spent my life in collision. Problem with keeping more of the money is the pesky issue of title transfer. May I ask if you have a procedure or technique that helps mitigate that cost? Or do you have a dealers license. Here in Florida I think you can only sell up to 6 cars a year w/o one. Again...gr8 vid. 👍
Always a risk make sure u have a backup plan if one flip kills the deal with a bad car
what was your profit on that after fixing it up?
I used to buy and sell cars and made a nice living from it… I didn’t start out with much so I used to fix little things I could and be supper honest with the buyers about what i knew…. I love the care you put into the cars to make sure you minimize problems for buyers !
don't you need a license if you start selling more than a certain amount per year? I bet it's different in each state but thats one thing that gets overlooked I think.
what the hell is supper honest, learn how to spell
I love how he’s not just showing how to make a quick buck, but genuinely shows concern for the buyer of the car as well.
even ifyou really don't care about the purchaser as a person , it pays to have good ethics to have word of mouth advertising and repeat customers.
@@circusboy90210 Especially if you're gonna keep flipping cars
Especially if you’re recording yourself for the world to see, pretty sure everyone would act concerned about their customers on video 😂😂😂
I really appreciated that too. Well said, not just flip a car so it starts and don't make noise but actually make it drivable and lasting
I mean, based on his numbers, he's probably making bank from YT alone. the flipping part is probably a hobby
I love how throughout the video, all Chris was thinking about was making whoever buys this car happy. Goes to show what an amazing human being this is. We need more people like Chris.
This! When I got my 96 Civic the seller told me he was going to get the car detailed after it was sold. He kept his word and it really made you feel like the car was well cared for!
otoh he's always lowballing the people he buys from. lol
@@guascamsb8138 not lowballing if the seller agrees to the price. U can't tell me you haven't tried to save a little money here and there
@@guascamsb8138 that's life, had it been in a good shape the seller wouldn't take any low price
@@guascamsb8138 if the people want it gone they will take a low price. Realistically speaking a lot of smart people price high KNOWING someone will lowball them and you meet them in the middle. Also, if someone wants the vehicle gone $300 is better than potentially paying a junkyard to haul it away. Not to mention no more paying registration/insurance/parking permits potentially too.
Man I just wanted to say thank you for the Car knowledge that you spread out to the Car Lover World. You are spot on with your knowledge and details I have myself a new Car friend for life Rock On brother and don't change a thing😊
I appreciate that! Thanks a lot!!! I am glad you're learning a lot!!!
It's important to buy cars when interest rates and prices are low. My financial advisor also gave me the same advice. When rates and prices are low, it can save you money on financing and make the overall cost more affordable.
My financial advisor advises buying cars when interest rates and prices are low. However, he also cautions against it right now due to the hidden costs of car ownership, like insurance and maintenance. He helps me plan for these expenses and manages my portfolio to ensure financial stability. It's all about making strategic decisions and having a well-rounded financial plan.
Having a well-diversified portfolio is essential for financial success. A financial advisor can provide expert guidance, minimize risks, and offer insights on profitable investments. They bring experience and expertise, ensuring your portfolio is optimized for success. It's like having a trusted ally by your side, helping you achieve your financial goals..
Please how can I reach out to your advisor, if you don't mind me asking?
My Financial Advisor is Samuel Peter Descovich. I found him on a CNBC interview where he was featured and reached out to him afterwards. He has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can run a quick online research with his name if you care for supervision. I basically follow his market moves and haven't regretted doing so.
Thank you, i pasted his name on my browser and his portfolio came up. Just wrote to him and waiting for reply.
What I love is that this isn't a how to hide flaws it is how to legitimately fix things and make it a car people want to buy
Right ! I aspire to go into this business not just for the money, but to also genuinely help people buy a reliable used car and at a good price. If I never see the customer again, then I’ve done my job correctly.
Absolutely. Warms my heart to hear Chris’s good faith in a world feels so dominated by cynicism and grift 🥰
😭😭 I’m looking for something I can Venture into on short term basis, I have about $20k sitting in my savings accounts.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance,but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
What are you talking about and how could this be explained?can someone please explain
I'm really confused, especially in market analysis,how are people using trading with them?
Trading with an expert is really beneficial. This will help you not to lose your money in the trading market.
Do you have an idea of any good broker/trader I can start with that's trust worthy?

Dude shows you how to save money and make money without feeling like it’s an advertisement. Been a follower for years and let me say you are a life changer. Learned more from you than I have from anyone. Thank you
Thanks!
The detail in this video is amazing. Not just the video but everything you need to perform it yourself. Shows the amount of work that has gone into this video. Thank you Chris 😊
Half man, half legend. Not only does he go in depth of the how to's. This is actually the basis of any hustle. Find a problem, fix it and charge for it. I'm not anywhere near as handy as Chris but the fact he's not shying away from the cars that "seem" to require more work is typically where you'll find the gems. For the capable or semi car guy out there this is pure free insight on making some extra income.
One of the highest production values on this platform, let alone in the car space. The way you communicate in the videos to the camera shots to listing the products it's all incredibly professional and informative. You're doing great work, ChrisFix.
Thank you!

ive been searching for this comment
@@jadon9384 same 😂😂
Came into the comments just for this hahahh
Hi Mr Chrisfix, I wanted to tell you that I am now addicted to your Brand , Channel & especially Videos!! You are definitely one of a kind taking your time explaining the detail in your processes & you are actually easy to listen for someone that usually can’t finish & moves on with average vids. Keep up the great work!!
I have been a detailer for over a decade and I appreciate the fact that you are using quality products that are able to be purchased over the counter for the common person and not using low quality products. Also great technique with a lot of what you do.
Thanks! Is there anything you would do differently?
@@chrisfix Honestly, with the products you used, very little. One thing I would add, that 99.9% of people dont think to clean is the seatbelts. Pull them all the way out and wipe down with soapy water, just as you would the steering wheel. Also, I would always make sure to clean and check the trunk, tire well and the back deck by the rear window. These are other locations that most forget about that collect dirt, skin cells, hair, smoke, etc. I would highly recommend investing in at least an inexpensive steam cleaner. It will work wonders for you, especially if you do at least a couple cars a month. Amazon has some inexpensive ones for about $120. It would cut a lot of your cleaning down in half. You can use it for everything from door jambs, seat belts, everyone's favorite area between the seat and center console. It would help with the spots I mentioned and does a great job in the engine bay as well.
FYI for your future spray paint issues: paint thinner will take off the spray paint and not harm the vehicle's paint. The vehicle's clearcoat is a 2k paint (has hardener). The spray paint is a 1k paint (no hardener and technically never actually dries). If you leave thinner on the 2k paint it will eventually break it down over time. However, if you just wipe off the 1k paint and allow the thinner to evaporate or wipe it off as you go, you won't have any issues. - Buzz's Body Shop, Newton NC

appreciate you boss💯
great knowledge thank you boss man
Acetone or reducer, acetone is much stronger though. And will leave a thin haze which you will need to buff over to make shiny
Whoever taught you how to work on cars literally gave you a golden ticket to the life’s jackpot cool channel
Thanks a lot!
I've been watching your videos for years. I like how excited you seem while giving very good information on how to repair vehicles. Great job. Look forward to your next ones.
Dude, you should start your own automechanic university. I WOULD DEF ENROLL. Love the way you break things down and teach
I'm honestly a decent mechanic, perhaps following along with your video on restoring faded paint would be a good idea as well, but flipping cars assuming I could find one cheap enough, should totally be something I'm able to do. I think I needed the video to help encourage me to doing so, and honestly it would be something I would thoroughly enjoy doing(even though I don't have a garage to work out of)
Chris is living proof all you need is a patch of asphalt!
The problem is flipping cars is illegal in a lot of places without a dealer license. Half of the people in dealer license classes are flippers who got caught and fined and that was part of the sentence.
@@vittoriovuocolo2438 Eh, the problem kind of fixes itself since most people aren't gonna have time to buy and flip more than 4 cars a year. I thought this was nationwide but may just be texas
@@vittoriovuocolo2438 the illegal part is when buyers don't register/title the car under their name before flipping it. I've seen a couple of ads just last week mentioning in the description "title is not under my name" and rather than find out more, i immediately just ignore it
Nice to see you back! As a high school senior, I have found your videos extremely helpful. Thank you so much! I was actually thinking about flipping cars this summer, and this guide will help me a ton. Thanks again for all the genuine, well made videos!
For I passed on to you, as of first importance, the account I had received, that Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures foretold, that he was buried, that on the third day he was raised from the dead, as the Scriptures foretold 1 Corinthians 15
I can see why u have 10 mil subs. Very articulate and thorough and well paced. And i sound like a robot. Congrats on finding your niche. I wish i had the tools and know how to flip cars. I'm getting into marketing for small businesses and its kinda similar. Making money from others by providing a service. No need to have a 9-5 job. Help other people and you will always be employed and compensated. Well done man.
Thanks a lot! And good luck with your marketing!
Hey thank you brother for all the great information you give out for free, you’re a gentleman and a scholar . My son asked me two months ago if we can do what you do , and now I found your channel to put us on the right track. Thank you God Bless You.
Thanks a lot!
I swear ChrisFix could make a video tutorial about how to change a lightbulb and he’d still find a way to make it interesting and fun to watch. I have NEVER seen another content creator who has such easy to follow, to the point and descriptive car tutorials. I think it’s safe to say you’ve saved all of us a time or two, Chris!
Maybe do this for april fools!! @ChrisFix
I think the best part of this is he doesn't treat anything with a car, even the biggest stuff, like an insurmountable problem. Most people who've never worked on a car probably would feel that way, but Chris makes you feel right at home under the hood. I have been working on cars since i was little, largely learning from my dad, but I always learn new little things from ChrisFix and he's the only person I recommend to people wanting to start wrenching.
He did sink faucet video
He showed me how to fix a washer once...
Hey Chris, I wanted to thank you for the videos you make. I’m 14, so I don’t have a car yet, but the knowledge I’ve gained has helped me diagnose and fix problems on my parents’ cars. Also, I have a go-kart and a while back it needed it’s oil replaced. Had I never seen your videos, I would have never gotten the courage to do it myself in fear of messing it up. Finally, whenever I’m bored I watch your videos. They have such a good entertainment value for some reason. Also, your videos help cheer me up when I’m down. Again, thank you.
Same thing here! I got a go-kart too. (and dirtbike)
@@FortCips what kind of go-kart? mine is of the off-road variety
I got a off-road mega moto and a honda crf125 big wheel

Mr. Chris, I can only say, God bless you.. you are a generous, and kind young man. Your tips are greatly appreciated!
Dude your videos are so impressive because you teach people how to do big jobs with simple tools which is so convenient. You are also very entertaining to watch. I watch videos of your that aren't even relevant to something I am fixing, I just like to learn and your videos make it fun. Thanks for your help!
Couple extra points for sellers! If the car has anything other than a clean title noone will touch it. A rebuilt title, salvage, no title they wont buy it unless it's literally dirt cheap. Also I learned to check the vin number on engines to ensure they are the original engine that came with the car... if they dont match there's no telling how many miles it might have. Good luck everyone!
You are truly inspiring. I know next to nothing about car mechanics, let alone electrical. Thanks to your passion I am looking at getting my first project car to tinker with and see what happens, so thank you! I would love to see more of your flip videos. Thank you again!
That’s awesome!!!! Glad to hear that!
This video is almost too good to be true. So much information, freely given away. You even sound like such a nice person
Your skill set is masterful. A lot of this could only be done with your skills. I would lose a lot of profit having to pay for things you can do yourself. I can still see a great profit margin having a good mechanic. Great video. Definitely inspired.
"In a classic negotiation" Best line I've ever heard from Chris! Made me laugh for a while then Chris said the final price was 2700! Chris makes my day once again!🤣🤣
I laughed too! "he's at $3500, I was at $2500 so we met in the middle and settled for $2700" Your math isn't mathing Chris.
“met in the middle”.. that was definitely not the middle 😂
Ed Bolian would be proud. That was some shrewd negotiation.
Awesome video, for those thinking of flipping a car though I wouldn’t really recommend a hybrid unless you know what you’re doing. I used to work for a small dealer that specialized in hybrids. We fixed or replaced quite a few batteries and while it’s not the most difficult thing to do it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.
That's the next video!
Hybrids are fun to work on cuz a ppl dont wanna touch them and b ppl scared to work on them. Ive worked on them at school its fun!

Almost 10 million subs, and he deserves every single one of them... Truly the king of attention to detail... such an inspiration
Even though I can't do this, I'm incredibly glad that there are people that do. Reconditioning and reusing is by far the best thing we can do.
As a Prius owner this was a wonderful surprise to learn more about how to fix common problems. Follow up on the bad hybrid battery? I'm looking forward to the center console restoration video too.
That will be up next, stay tuned!
the reason why I watch and trust this mans channel is because he's completely transparent about everything, how to do it where to go, what you should look for it, can we get it fixed, or can we not, he doesn't try to like, well, we could do this, no, he says, let's go do this, he does that shows you step by step, and guess what now you feel like, hey, if I go back Inna watches, I could possibly do what he does maybe
I used to do this but got away from it for a while. Life got in the way. You had me looking for a flip today. I love it! Thanks
If you don't mind asking how you do with paper work???
I gotta say...I'm not a car guy whatsoever, but your video is phenomenal. You are a gifted, talented and SKILLED craftsman. And thank you for regularly reminding your listeners that you can realistically expect some surprises. Because something like Flips, can be very very attractive to get into, but if you don't have experience, you could lose your money. So thank you. P.S. if you ever go Public, your stock would be solid
Thanks a lot!
It honestly makes me happy to see Chris get excited about fixing everything. It makes me feel like I’m right there and it gets me excited about what he does too.
“This is a before… and after…” So satisfying!! Love the videos Chris
I love this! It's like a show since it's almost an hour long and it's pretty educational. I'm trying to quit my 9-5 job because I wanna work on something I like, like being a mechanic or electrician and buying them, then selling cars by doing what this video shows.🙂👊
I'm an illustrator/digital artist, but the instructions on your videos are always so clear and helpful, that even I felt empowered enough to try my hand at cleaning, and doing little maintenance on my own car. Since finding your channel, I've detailed my car and my engine (old BMW) by myself, and it's so rewarding that I'm seriously considering getting a little car to fix up and learn with. Thanks for being an exceptional resource for us, especially for ladies like me who don't have someone else to ask for help! So awesome.
if you can afford it, go for it. you will at least get knowledge and some fun out of it
@@Bruno-dv3ym I can afford a little starter car and the most important tools, I think! It'll definitely be a big challenge for me, but I'm so interested in cars, (and races for that matter) I just don't really know where to start. But I believe in myself!!
It's always great when someone new joins the car community, especially when it's a female. The car community doesn't have enough car gals in my opinion, it's still a man's hobby in the eyes of too many.
@@sambrown6426 Seriously, so true! I started getting interested in cars a few months ago, and since then, I've realized just how many truly amazing cars are out there. I had no idea! I can definitely see how getting into it is overwhelming at first, but when you find genuinely helpful resources like ChrisFix who break things down into smaller, manageable projects, it becomes a lot less scary, even for beginners. I wish I had girl friends who were interested in it too, honestly! It's such a cool hobby.
Man I love working on cars. There are always roadblocks, but it's so satisfying when you finally get past them. Car forums and KZhead videos will teach you everything.
Hey Chris, I'm 15 and I've watched you since 2016/17 and I can't express how much I've learnt from you. Keep doing what you're doing bro!
I am sure you do not need any more compliments, but you my friend, are just amazing at what you do! I can watch your videos all day long!
I’ve been watching you since you got the drift mustang, And it was one of the best vids you made. I will never stop watching you!
I love that this video reviews a pretty detailed list of "things to improve the look of your car." While I've seen nearly each individual video Chris has mentioned, he did a good job at summing up his other videos with this video demo. I keep saying to myself, "Yep, I remember that video." Good stuff Chris!
it is really really cool to see how you go the extra mile to be SURE the cars you restore & flip are reliably fixed. too often one sees supposedly professional mechanics take snide shortcuts & look for snide ways to take advantage of people. i would have no worries buying any vehicle you had worked on, i have enjoyed how complete & detailed your videos are & have more confidence working on cars then previously.
My conscious couldnt take shortcuts. Every car I work on has my reputation tied to it and I wouldnt want anything less than the best car I can fix for someone.
@@kingsrevenge9234 stay in school
It is a clear example of short term gains vs long term gains. Short term, you flip a car and make a lot of money in short period of time. Though your customers will never return, nor will their friends ever visit you. Long term, it takes a while to make the same money. Though the customers will return, and so will their friends resulting in making a LOT more money in the long run.
Just found your channel i love how you fix things instead of covering them up
I’ve never worked on a car before and over the weekend I was able to diagnose my coolant leak and successfully replace the thermostat and wooder pump in my 06 Grand Cherokee. Thanks for all of the videos!
Nice job!!!
With the amount of effort you put in your videos and explaining yourself , you give me the confidence to tackle these bro. Thank you Chris, appreciate you man. 🤙🏼
Your super inspiring bro I been watching you for years now and you helped me a lot and now I work on my own cars and I appreciate everything you teach an look forward to more
This dude is a car magician... If he was in my town, i would drive my car for cleaning to him every 2-3 months lol... Such attention to details and knowledge is always appreciated to see...
Thanks for all the great videos over the years. I bought my 96 GT after seeing you get the drift stang running. I knew my GT was a good buy for the price and how easy it was to fix, all thanks to you! She's still running strong 6 years later.
Tip from a professional detailer, that hyper dressing that Chris used is also great to use as a tire dressing. It has very little sling and looks great
Hey Chris, any ideas on when the videos will be coming out for this particular car? Been looking forward to them for so long honestly can't wait. Really is one of the best youtubers out there and have watched and even rewatched all your videos over the time. So glad to have found your channel around 4 years ago. I have learnt so much from your videos and the reason why i started repairing my own cars because you give so much confidence with clear and easy steps to follow with also common tools and that people like me have but not the high end shop tools that most youtubers say to use. Thanks again chris!
Chris thank for such good vidoes my cars have never looked so clean. And this video in particular helped me flio my first car. Got it for $1700 and sold for $14k after a clutch replacement. Easy to do because i work in an auto shop but still the checklist and the basics you show have helped me alot. And even some of the other videos have given me enough knowledge base that i got offered the auto shop job with no qualifications with the sights of getting qualified. You've help me so much.
Wow that's amazing! I'm glad the videos are helping you out! Thanks a lot!
One thing is to "talk how to do", the other is "tell how I did". You did all these projects, and now is showing how you flipped the cars. Chris, you rock! Keep up the amazing work :) . Hugs from Portugal.
Hey Chris, I just wanted to say I love your videos. I am a 11 year old and I love cars. These videos help me and my Dad fix his car with all the good tools. Keep up the good work. - Lucas
Thanks a lot Lucas! I'm glad the videos help you and your Dad out!
Here's a tip for you buddy if you love cars but know nothing about fixing cars especially engines then there's absolutely no point getting into the cars buying fixing & selling buisness scene mate be a car mechanic first before getting into it kiddo otherwise you'll get nowhere in life lmao 🙄🤷♂️
@@HuuTonyTran he’s 11 bro. Relax.
@@HuuTonyTran Man if u don't delete this comment rn so obvious you are chronically online
@@HuuTonyTran You are an absolute clown.
You’re the best there is man, where are people like you. Keep up the good stuff
Thank you for making this video, Chris! Your expertise is incredibly helpful and awesome!
The amount of work CHRIS puts into this videos is crazy !! ... its also crazy to see him grow all the way from 2million subs and now almost at 10 million. As an all time car guy and fan I must say GOOD WORK CHRIS!!!! 💪
Thanks Chris for always helping us out. Can't even count how many of your videos I've seen. Saved my ass many times! Even if I don't need help fixing something, it's so nice to see how to in the future. Thank you so much for making youtube a better place
Excellent video! Thank you!

@@gerardovelazquez3597 Did you connate bengals bus
Only had to watch about five minutes of the video and I subscribed you’re awesome dude the detail and knowledge of mechanics and doing things the right way is rare these days
You're a legend man, I would know nothing about cars if you're channel didn't exist.
I think this is the only video in all of social media that actually shows you how to do side hustle that you can actually do. THANK YOU CHRIS FIX! (even though i know nothing about fixing cars or flipping)
Damn bro, you don’t give yourself enough credit. The knowledge and know how isn’t easy to learn… it’s a lot of trial and error, but that’s dope that you do so much to help others.
Very glad to see you Chris, another cool video. Thanks as always. I'm waiting for an issue about the arrangement and review of your garage-workshop. As always, I love it. You inspire and help
This was an update to ChrisFix greatest hits. The detailing, the headlights, the inspection are all things I've taken away and done from this channel. Love your stuff as always! I gotta say, take it easy on yourself. I hope you have a good team behind you for some of this stuff because KZhead burn out is real and I wouldn't want that for you. As always, top tier on the quality of work and content!
finally it's been long enough, chris
For real
dear god
woah
Cmon high boi, launch a f1 game series
Your the last person I’d expect to see here, high boi, lol
Chris I like your so much and once I saw the notification it was a burst of happiness in me.. I do have a small concern, Please if possible upload regularly.
I uploaded a new video a few days ago!
This guy is taking this to next level believe me i have learnt a lot from him Stay blessed
When doing the full cleaning of the vehicle, it might not be a bad idea to start with the engine bay, then do the headlights, followed by the exterior of the car, and finishing with the interior. Doing so would keep from transferring dirt and grime back to an area you just cleaned. If you do the exterior before the engine, you could have grime and soap splatter on the exterior, making some spots not as clean. If you go to all of the effort of buffing out scratches before doing the headlights, but your hand slips while sanding the headlights, you will have to redo the area around the headlights to remove any scratches you might have added. And if you do the interior first, when you're cleaning the areas inside the doors, you might get that dirt and the plastic cleaner stuff on the seats.
Hey ChrisFix, Keep up the work, man 😉 Every thing you post just brings joy to my heart and all of us watching you come closer to 10M subs! Don’t give up and the diamond play button will be all yours with our help👏
I used the information from when you restored the headlights and tried on my Mini Cooper. They look brand new, Thanks 👍.
Awesome!
I love the way he talks about cars you can here it’s real passion
I watched your channel years back but one day stopped for some reason. And just days ago, i randomly thought of your channel and decided to check it back out and here you are, still the same humble teacher I remembered back when I stayed up until late watching your videos, excited about gaining the knowledge I needed to work on my first car the following day whether it was spark plugs, shocks, brakes, sensors, tire rods, etc. Thank you for still being here, Mr. Fix! Look forward to seeing more 😊
Thanks a lot!
chrisfix videos is so satisfying to watch for me. i remember watching your videos wayyy before i became a mechanic. now i watching this video seeing the old videos in this video just gave me nostalgia. i love seeing the progress and thanks for these videos man.
I'm glad you find the videos satisfying! Thanks a lot!
YOU'RE A HARD WORKING MAN. Great videos. 👍
Happy new year chris! I’m watching your videos on how to buy and flip cars. Hopefully I will one day be able to call that a side money job 💪🏽
car flips are easily my favorite videos these days. Loving the content!
This video was in my recommended videos (probably because I've been researching buying used EVs) and while I know that I personally couldn't do this side hustle for multiple reasons, I watched the whole video. I have so much respect for not only what you do but the production quality of the video itself. Making people a checklist and just posting it in the description as well. So much respect. You're awesome! (Also got a good laugh at that "Meet in the middle at $2700.") This was really interesting to watch, if for nothing else, to at least see how much you can simply clean the car out and really improve it. I don't have the extractor vacuum, but it seems they're pretty easy and cheap to pick up. Basically anyone can do this if they're dedicated enough, and I see so many used cars that just don't do it. We'll see if I'm too lazy when it comes to selling my old Nissan Leaf in a year or two.
I loved this video and this looks so fun and wish I could come work with you. You are obviously really passionate and knowledgeable with this work.
Thanks a lot!
Hey Chris, first time visitor to your channel, are you a mechanic? I have been offered a free car from my elderly neighbor, it was actually her sisters car, and she had offered it to me for free but passed away and I didn't want to asked her sister about it, she called me today asking if I'd like it or she would just give it to someone else. I haven't done this before but I am exited to give it a try, worst case I could just sell it for scrap metal if its no good. Car's been sitting for years, never started. I'm thinking sometimes things are best left alone, could be more headaches than its worth. But I'm fired up after watching your vids lolol
I would definitely mess around with it! I have a video from a similar situation here: kzhead.info/sun/g7Khpah7jXuvl68/bejne.html
Watching you is like watching my dad teach me things when I was a child. I won't flip any cars, but by watching you, somehow, you complete me.
Chris coming back with a bang in 2023!! I'm looking forward to this series as I bought a Mint 2010 Prius with 40k on it 2 years ago. Has served me well so far but I know the inevitable will happen and I trust your videos. They will definitely help me out with future repairs!!! I hope you go over battery fan cleaning when you get into the Hybrid battery and I hope you mention the DR. Prius APP!! Also, probably not gonna happen but would definitely appreciate an EGR cleaning video on this if possible. I hear its easy but I'm still worried ill mess something up. Thanks Chris!
He did a previous hybrid battery replacement video. I think it also includes cleaning the fan on it.
U sounds young, but a very skilled mechanic and businessman. I'm not surprise if u own a big and successful used car company in very near future. This does takes a lot of efforts and knowledge that even everybody knows how, they still probably can't do it, which add to your value if u did this. And your restored car looks amazing.
Wow.. the attention to detail just blew me away!! Great video!
Super informative and interesting video! A small welding suggestion would be with that mig welder, lower your wire feed speed, raise your voltage, and point the tip of the welding gun at the weld and push your weld forward instead of pulling the tip away from the weld as your welding. Honestly though, the welds you produced after grinding definitely looked good enough. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip! Should I push for all mig welds or just this type of weld underneath? I learned to pull but I learned on my own haha
@@chrisfix pushing the puddle with mig is best because it gives the most gas coverage. Like the other guy said raise the voltage a little bit. Maybe try to slow down a little bit too. Keep up the good work, your weld looks good for being self taught.
@@chrisfix Mig with gas is push, drag is for welding that has slag like stick or flux core.
Absolutely love this guys content, not only can I fix cars but even buses too. Thanks man without you I wouldn't reach to were I am now keep it up, you can definitely teach many upcoming generations to come that want to be like you.
Great Video Chris I really enjoyed the Video and learn so much along the way, I am planning to go to a shop to build my skill sets and later on start flipping cars myself.
