23.051875 i i i do it a lot i have i kind of worked my way through college as a mechanic as a kid sw2692A-ms98-a-0007 23.051875 24.515875 uh sw2692A-ms98-a-0008 24.515875 34.158500 so and my father and brother were in it and and my brother's still in it and i had periods when i didn't do anything but in the last ten years i've sw2692A-ms98-a-0009 34.158500 49.123250 uh my car doesn't go to a shop you know it it i just do it all do i uh there's hardly anything that other than putting tires on that i'll do i did take it to a transmission place to put in a new transmission but i change the oil and transmission and sw2692A-ms98-a-0010 49.123250 54.127625 uh uh i just essentially do it all i don't know uh sw2692A-ms98-a-0011 54.127625 64.568125 uh if there's anything specific in fact i could advise people uh i happen to be a M E besides but i do it for fun really and to save money and i guess that's diversion uh sw2692A-ms98-a-0012 64.568125 77.327375 i i've i've tried a few groups uh you know where you i can recommend it for people to take their cars Like i think Sears is probably the best place because i've heard when i used to go there sw2692A-ms98-a-0013 77.327375 84.989500 and when i i just overheard what they did for me very little because i didn't take it that much but what i heard them tell other people was always right sw2692A-ms98-a-0014 84.989500 88.650000 you know when i sat there i you know i dropped my car off for tires or something like that sw2692A-ms98-a-0015 88.650000 92.935125 and so i respect they seem to actually have mechanics there sw2692A-ms98-a-0016 92.935125 96.045875 i was pretty impressed with Western Auto sw2692A-ms98-a-0017 96.045875 107.451000 but they didn't do a great job of changing my transmission uh oil last time and when when i did it the next time i realized the filter was loose and everything and i didn't like it So i'm just doing it all myself i i sw2692A-ms98-a-0018 107.451000 114.600875 [silence]

of inspection and check out and and some thing like that with a car there ought to be someone there sw2692A-ms98-a-0040 207.135250 221.095500 that inspects it before it's turned there ought to be an insp[ector]- inspector or quality insurance guy after after an oil change you know just in case uh they didn't put the oil in or whatever i i always wonder about that when when someone does repairs or

Fords and i i uh i have three Chevys which sw2692A-ms98-a-0049 268.794250 280.567625 i worked my way into having the same engine i don't know how long i'm i like a V8 and i'm i'm s[old]- sold on small block Chevy V8s and i i bought one car new and i almost accidentally sw2692A-ms98-a-0050 280.567625 285.139250 got the next car although i was kind of looking for it when i got a u[sed]- a used car with the same engine sw2692A-ms98-a-0051 285.139250 297.277125 well then the nex[t]- the truck i got next i definitely looked for the same engine so i buy filters you know three or four at a time and essentially the engines are different you the cars are different years but the same Chevy V8 sw2692A-ms98-a-0052 297.277125 310.081875 and the part the carburetors is the same almost everything is the

those i when i take those hoses i cut them off sw2692A-ms98-a-0095 458.133250 468.040375 very gingerly because if you you know pull on that and i've always done that as a kid you know just yanked on it and they must have been stronger and heavier copper at the time sw2692A-ms98-a-0096 468.040375 475.299500 but i broke one on my on my Buick and i always remembered it was my own fault and i thought

you're a tinkerer you luck out My wife's sw2692A-ms98-a-0107 510.533500 518.382125 uh Chevy uh it was a Caprice air conditioning stopped i i just heard it i realized that the air conditioning wasn't cutting in sw2692A-ms98-a-0108 518.382125 530.913125 and i went out there for five minutes and i just pushed on the wires And sure enough just pure dumb luck that the connection over by it's not the evaporator the big filter on one side sw2692A-ms98-a-0109 530.913125 533.605250 i just pushed that in and i heard it click sw2692A-ms98-a-0110 533.605250 545.318625 and so sometimes you have dumb luck i i was you know you could have taken something like that and thought well the compressor's not working or it would have taken me all day probably if i didn't do that but sometimes you have some dumb luck If you have a little curiosity sw2692A-ms98-a-0111 545.318625 558.571625 and you have enough knowledge to check things out i know i feel bad for people who just when anything goes wrong a fuse you know they just have to take it And i know that's tough if you don't uh at least give it a shot i've got girls daughters and sw2692A-ms98-a-0112 558.571625 572.243250 i've always said i'd teach them And my my one daughter was fairly interested And i really haven't gotten around to i learned because i i just uh learned you know and i feel bad about not at least showing them some of the things
