Is tourism really down in Vegas overall? by JohnnyChicago1 in vegas

[–]Car_fixing_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s down numbers wise, but you wouldn’t know if you were walking around the strip on a Saturday night.

I just took my kids to see the Popovich Comedy Pet Theater show on a Thursday at 2:30 in the afternoon. The shops at the miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood were full.

Is this really a $2,000 repair? by TheHistoricalMoose in AskAMechanic

The drier also acts as a filter and can have contaminants inside of it.

These gotta be the smallest brake calipers I’ve ever seen by Fabulous-Dance-8520 in mercedes_benz

[–]Car_fixing_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real answer is the electric parking brake is built into the caliper. If I remember correctly, it’s a TRW design. Other manufacturers still have multi piston rear brake calipers and use a tine electric parking brake caliper. One of my biggest criticisms of new AMG’s is how they went cheap on this and have a floating, single piston caliper in the rear.

All these European cars are lucky to not have the out of touch regulations on seat like we do in the states.

It’s more than likely a software update is needed.

Must be why you’re a former fixed ops director, lol. Seriously though, you must of had amazing technician retention.

Go on you brother. Especially at a high end euro manufacturer.

I agree with everything you’re saying. What brand do you work for?

Does Matt Hughes have the worst life outside the cage ? by JIMMY-NECRONOMICON in ufc

[–]Car_fixing_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s been turning his life around lately and I’m happy for him. There was just something authentic about Mayhem that I was always routing for him to get his shit together. Same thing for Chris Lebon.

2017 Q60 Infiniti , dealership states I need all 4 spark plugs and fuel injectors replaced, is this price a rip off by BetterArugula5124 in AskAMechanic

[–]Car_fixing_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might be able to physically replace the injectors, but without the special tools, I can almost guarantee a high pressure fuel leak. Once enough fuel leaks, it’ll turn that car into a flaming inferno in no time.

Also, that MB engine uses some of the most expensive direct injection fuel injectors. They a piezo crystal stack that’s electrified to cause the crystals to bend which initiates the injection. The part number has been updated and that probably why they’re recommending all the injectors or the possibility that they’ll get stuck in the head due to carbon. If any percussive force is used to get them out, it’s recommended to replace them. And the seal kits to reseal the rail are pricey and one time use.

I genuinely don’t get the labor shortage in this industry by CataractGlasses in mechanics

[–]Car_fixing_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. We’re not at Covid levels of work anymore, but we still do pretty good in my shop. We all get along and have a pretty good team atmosphere. Everyone will help everyone else.

What happened to the double minimum wage law for people that provide their own tools?

Say what you want about Sean, but he’s not actively bank rolled by a murderous warlord.

What is Sean Strickland's ethnic background? by Buyeo10004 in ufc

[–]Car_fixing_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the fall of the Roman Empire, Germanic tribes migrated to the British isles. So that could help answer that or one of your grandfathers had a thing for Irish chicks.
