I hope you enjoy my out takes and gifs I “borrowed”. Please leave a comment, eventually there may be so many that I dont answer them, but not yet. I plan to make a video explaining our side of the aftermarket insurance scam that is “extended warranties”. Well see how that goes.
I hope this helps you undertand a bit more about your vehicle and make what we do make a little more sense. Please let me know if you have anything specifically that you want to learn. I have been toying with the idea of doing some tech training videos. Let me know what you think.
