Love the channel. I have been watching it for a while. Obviously we can’t know, but based on the earlier videos I watched, this is some tech who is recording himself doing his job, and not really and actual marketing effort, especially not by the dealer.

And for those who say mechanics don’t work that way, SOME DO. Find one and pay what he asks. I did about a decade ago and it greatly improved my life to have someone else I trust to work on my cars. You’d never know it by looking at him, but he is a genius and OCD so all my cars go to him from the $1500 one to the six figure ones. He treats them all with the same care and attention.

This guy in the videos is doing everything by the book which is great. For what dealers charge for service, that’s the way it should be. Although I would have told him not to use purple cleaner on aluminium and plastic and my guy would have hand torqued the screws for the bumper.

PS My mechanic and I hang out while my car is being worked on. He knows I am OCD too and have thoroughly researched whatever job I am asking to be done so it’s symbiotic. At this point he knows exactly how I want things done (I have an unnatural love of antisieze and torque wrenches for example which, when combined, means he knows to reduce the torque by 25% on the stuff I ask for to be slathered in antisieze — I go so far as to vary this depending on what it is that is being torqued and even go so far as to specify whether I want wurth copper or permetex). Another quirk is hylomar in drain and fill plugs on diffs/t-case/transmission. There are a lot of quirks. He does not mind, he actually appreciates them and shares other ideas.

PPS another good test is to ask your mechanic to fix something that is not broken. If he calls you and says it’s not broken, do you still want me to do it? You know you have a keeper.

Loeber is where I bought my C4S and have continued to see them for service and upgrades. Great people there.
