This guy just tells you important things. It's like YouTube minus the BS and narcissism. What a guy.
-
Thanks for your honesty and integrity sir. I'm a Diy'er, learning automotive for five years, I consider myself a beginner. I can tell by your statements YOU KNOW what you're doing as a mechanic, I can learn from you! I can't afford shops, so learning to do the work myself, and collect tools as I progress forward. Thanks 👍🇺🇸

As an AC Tech for 60 years this guy knows his stuff and is an excellent instructor.

I wouldnt mind paying a $1600 auto repair so much if the mechanic doing the work was this gentleman ( or maybe even one of his students - do you teach? My God, you should teach if you dont. There would be more mechanics like you out there and that would be such a good thing, such a very very good thing.). Thank you for making these videos . Im new to your channel, this is the first video ive seen and you got yourself one more loyal subscriber.

This summer there is a group of tiny birds called Finches that fly in on hot days when our shop doors are open. They harm nothing, they stick to the edges of the ceiling only, then fly away at the end of the day. They are annoying but I dont know what to do other than exterminate them. I dont really have the heart. So chirping might be a common theme this summer, in the background.

I'm in the automotive industry. You can find honest mechanics that are just parts changers with no diagnostic skills, you can find loads of thieves with and without skills, but a truly honest and competent real TECHNICIAN like the Car Wizard is almost impossible to find. Good job Wiz! Lots of respect!

I work at an auto parts store and a lot of people have been coming in lately and buying compressors. And exactly like you said, they almost always come back complaining we sold them a bad part. Im going to share this with all my co workers.
-
Don't forget to change your filters guys. If your cab filter is plugged up the blower will not pull air across the evaporator which can cause it to not work as effectively. Same for the condenser and radiator, the fan needs to pull air across the condenser and can't if it's plugged. Just some other easy checks.

This is hilarious, im a tech at HONDA and im literally at work, working on my 3rd a/c problem car for the day and this popped up so im watching it while the a/c machine is doing an evacuation 🤣

CAR WIZARD!!!! huuuuuuuuuuge thank you!!!!!! My car's AC (08 civic) hasn't been working right for some time now, and it has been a gradual thing until it just stopped engaging the clutch. I saw this video during my break at work, so when I clocked out and walked to my car, I swapped the fan relay (identical) and the compressor clutch engaged!!!! You have no idea how happy I am!
-
Thank you so much. I just had my AC stop working in my old Honda CR-V and the last thing I need is to drop a grand+ on a new compressor. Went to Auto Zone, picked up a AC clutch relay, and $9 latter I have cold air. Getting this lucky never happens to me. Thank you for the info. I'm headed out now to buy a lottery ticket. It's obviously my lucky day. 👽✌️
-
This is the first video I see amongst a bunch of other major auto mechanic channels, which actually explains EVERYTHING, specially the fact that replacing a damaged compressor is not the final solution. Condenser replacement is one thing that rarely gets mentioned. Thank you for the attention to detail and the very visual way in which you let us understand the process. 👌🏼
-
I drove my element with out AC for 2 years before I decided to see if maybe there is a simple fix. Turns out I'm an idiot and the $20 relay was the 2min fix.
-
Legend has it that the wizard used a switch relay to power up the sun
-
Thanks for unraveling the mystery about these systems and what has to be done to fix it right. This is not a repair I would ever attempt but now I know my mechanic isn't padding the bill when the additional components require replacement. Much appreciated!
-
Impressed with your video, you are the most educated mechanic I've ever had the pleasure to learn from, a you made the presentations self explanatory, a true WIZARD you are!. THANK YOU. If only I could take my 2018 Ford Edge to your shop, I can hear it click but only the panel lights light up, no blower...nothing.
-
I am new to your channel. I am just amazed at every video that you publish. You exhume a lot of "common sense" and you are very analytical in your approaches. I only wish there was some one around my area, like you, that I could trust and take our cars to. Keep up the good work and videos coming!
-
Car wizard, Keep making videos like this. I have been through this exact situation with my local repair shop in West Palm Beach FL. I trusted the shop so I wasn't worry about them throwing the parts bin at my car...…. However like you said it was a very expensive repair that I wasn't prepared to hear. Car owners need advise from someone who they can trust and that person is you! semper fi!
-
Thank you! A great, detailed, easy to understand talk about our automotive AC systems. Nice to meet Mrs. Wizard too!
-
You are a genius. Love the way you troubleshoot the problem to come to a final diagnosis. 👍
