Don’t read my name.’!
1000th like … I want a cookie 😂
What I love about this guy is, he is the only YouTuber I know that would genuinely link a free PDF to his car flipping checklist without any obligation for you to enter your email to be added to some sort of massive email list so he can sell you a bunch of his sponsors products. Hats off to this guy a very rare individual indeed. 💎
Well Stated Dominick . Truly helpful always.
Buddy DIY has a such a great series on car flipping. Showing his checklist, tools, process and cost analysis is fantastic. He even showing his failures which is unique
@Buddy’s DIY im waiting for your next Vid
@Buddy’s DIY where you at we need a new video
yeaaah…and he thinks ABS stands for automatic breaking system…
Well thanks 😉
With the amount of effort you put in your videos and explaining yourself , you give me the confidence to tackle these bro. Thank you Chris, appreciate you man. 🤙🏼
Awesome video, for those thinking of flipping a car though I wouldn’t really recommend a hybrid unless you know what you’re doing. I used to work for a small dealer that specialized in hybrids. We fixed or replaced quite a few batteries and while it’s not the most difficult thing to do it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Admittedly I commented before I finished the video. I’m sure the next video will explain it in a way that anyone can understand. My comment was really towards the total beginner though as hybrids do add a challenge and some danger beyond what a typical ICE only car would, especially if you ever have to take apart the inverter.
@marvin college automotive class
@marvin probably an automotive school or a trade school
@Conner G at school ?
Hybrids are fun to work on cuz a ppl dont wanna touch them and b ppl scared to work on them. Ive worked on them at school its fun!
Chris your videos are always educational and entertaining. Even though I don’t have my licence yet I always watch your videos to learn how to fix small things on cars. The effort you put into these videos definitely shows. Great work Chris. Love from down under 🇦🇺
I hope you guys like this video. It’s basically 7 videos in one. With that said this year my goal is to get double the videos out compared to last year… I know what you want, I am the limiting factor so I am going to try my best to figure out a way to make content quicker… Wish me luck!

Why the e85 conversion seems counter productive to fuel efficiency aim of the car
Is the headlight restoration you showed here faster than the one from years ago where you use 400, 600 and 2,000 grit sand paper?
Guy asks $1000.
ChrisFix shows up.
Guy poops his pants and says 500.
Chris, did I miss something or are you not replacing the $1200 hybrid battery?
this is 14 videos in one
I’m honestly a decent mechanic, perhaps following along with your video on restoring faded paint would be a good idea as well, but flipping cars assuming I could find one cheap enough, should totally be something I’m able to do. I think I needed the video to help encourage me to doing so, and honestly it would be something I would thoroughly enjoy doing(even though I don’t have a garage to work out of)
Tip from a professional detailer, that hyper dressing that Chris used is also great to use as a tire dressing. It has very little sling and looks great
You can polish headlights too, just be careful not to overheat them. Makes a HUGE difference.
Edit: Ah, I commented too early lol
Edit #2: Cabin Air Filters are often overlooked and can improve the smell of the air inbound to the cabin, as well as increase efficiency of the AC and Heat.
That is a good one!
