I swap out a starter on a jeep Compass that just so happen to die in my bay! That's never the phone call you want to make to the customer Mobile: Great video. it happens especially when the customer is there waiting. they've probably known or knew when things aren't good. oh I'll bring this in for oil change and bam starter or alternator goes. but they knew. even if you told them yeah your starter/alternator went on your vehicle. even tho you didn't go near it. oh well like I say it happens, most time I miss diagnose a vehicle. that there is when I listen to them and say ok you for sure meanwhile they have the new part in hand change it still dont fix the problem, they try say what did you do. and find the problem being bad alternator bearing killing the battery etc and so on. but anyhow I got that out and they wanted to do it themselves showed them out of generosity how to remove and install. lost that guy but they knew like I said buying wrong part. at least I knew what he knew.

Once that guy gets a look at the rotted out copper wire on his starter he should give you a big ole wet kiss that he was not in the middle of nowhere on a rainy night or minus 20 degrees and have that starter quit working. If it was me and I saw that I would count myself blessed to have it happen inside a mechanics shop where it could be fixed and not cause me more grief down the road. You did the right thing and just tell all your customers the Truth no matter how it sounds. The Lord has your back, always remember. OH. and He has given you white hair as well, imagine that. Cheers from Michigan.

Great video as always! Great confidence in your work. You put everything back together and then try the starter. I generally try the starter before I put it back together. Just in case I missed something and it does not start. I do a starter every five to ten years. You do multiple starters a day! Take care and I am looking forward to your next video. A Toyota Tundra V6 starter would be nice. I believe you have to remove the intake manifold to gain access to the starter.

I love watching your videos. I keep the protective terminal caps usually stashed in a hole or in the battery box of my cars so i can pop them back on when i need to disconnect the battery, i figure you should have a few laying about somewhere in your shop. Great videos, I really enjoy all of them, and even learn some things. Thanks Mr. O

I can understand charging for fixing something that broke while at your shop. What I don't like is when the mechanic doesn't do proper diagnostics and just throws a bunch of parts at the problem - especially if the problem isn't fixed. I know that isn't your style.
As for being skeptical, if it wasn't very expensive (

you should have covered up that intake or at least stuff something down inside of it before beginning the work on replacing the starter all that dirt and debris that you had created when cleaning that stuff off and moving everything around and then that spray that you put on the connections.

Show the customer the dead, crusty starter you replaced, it's a 9yr old vehicle driven through tough NY winters, shit is gonna corrode. In reality he saved the tow bill to the shop to get it replaced.

Our Mac guy just stopped coming about 4 years ago. The bad( or good thing depending how you look at it) I still owe him 150. He never called me back when I tried to contact him to pay what I owed.
