Alright guys, so if you were in Las Vegas back in February 2023, you probably remember this mess—massive gas lines stretching down the street, people piling up at the pumps like crazy. The thing is, we had a legitimate fuel crisis on our hands due to a pipeline break in California that basically…
Alright guys, so I had a guest come in with a pretty frustrating problem – their electronic emergency brake would not release. And I mean it was completely stuck, wouldn’t budge at all. You’re not going to believe what we found when we dug into this thing. What looked like a routine electronic…
Hey, Flat Rate Mechanic here again, and I’ve got a good one for you today. So you’ve got your battery light on, you’re thinking “great, my alternator’s dead,” right? You go ahead and replace it, maybe even throw a new battery in there for good measure. But then the light comes back on. What the…
Alright guys, so this morning we had a little fun in the shop. I walked around with my camera and asked every single person one simple question: what’s the most reliable car ever built? The answers? Well, let me just say Toyota better be paying these guys because it was basically unanimous. We’re…
Alright guys, so you’re dealing with a P0008 code on your Chevy Traverse. I know it can be pretty daunting when that check engine light comes on, but we’re gonna break this whole thing down for you. This code’s pointing to a timing issue on bank one, and the thing is, this can actually turn into a…

Alright guys, so we’ve got a Honda Civic here and I wanted to test out something that’s been on my mind. You know how on the older cars with a manual handbrake, you can just yank it up and the rear wheels lock up? Well, these newer Civics have electronic emergency brakes instead of the traditional…
Alright guys, so I’m back with another quick tip for you. In my last video, I showed you how to magnetize a tool using a battery, and man, did that blow up! A bunch of you were saying I was faking it because one side of the tool was magnetic and the other side wasn’t. So today, we’re gonna put that…
Alright guys, let me show you this quick hack that’s going to make checking your engine oil so much easier. We’ve all been there – you’re about to check your oil, you pull out the dipstick, and now you’re looking around for a rag or paper towel to wipe it off. Well, I’m going to show you a simple…
Alright guys, so I came across something today that made me do a double-take. We’re talking about a Ferrari—or at least what’s supposed to be a Ferrari—rolling around with 10-inch wheel spacers. Yeah, you heard that right. Ten. Inch. Spacers. Now, I’ve seen some questionable modifications in my…
