    Need Opinions: Used Car Value w/Full Detail

    I'm an automotive tech by trade. When I run across a decent deal for a car that the owner doesn't want to spend money on, I usually make them an offer and buy the car. And they are usually really bad inside and out. They just didn't give a s--t when they owned it. After I fix what's wrong with...

    Harbor Freight Tool Box

    I work as a professional automotive technician. When I got into the auto repair game back n 94, I was all about THE BOX. I felt that, if I had a nice expensive box, the seasoned techs would take me seriously. The only thing I learned was that the tool truck guy was serious about my money every...

    Electric Pressure Washer....what PSI to get ?

    I already have a gas pressure washer that will cut a 2x4 in half. That's not a joke. I did it on a bet. Hey, you'd do it too for a 6-Pac of beer. Anyway, I going to get into car detailing on the side this summer, and lugging the Behemoth gas washer just ain't gonna happen. I'm looking at the...

    I got my Tornador Black about 5pm. Rushed home and hooked it up to my comprèssor, and did a quick cleaning of my drivers side floor mat. HOLY S~~T !!! I'm impressed. My free gift was G Techniq C 1.5 Silo Seal. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?

    Receipts

    If you have an iPad, you can download a invoicing app called "INVOICE 2 GO". I use it for my mechanic business, and when I do side detailing work. You can set it up with multiple company names. I works great.

    Anybody ever deal with this kind of disaster?

    I work as a automotive tech. Last summer, I had a 2008 Jeep Liberty that I had to pull the dash on in order to replace the evaporator core. It was leaking freon. I was really hoping that she would decline the job, because it was a hell of a mess inside. Well, she approved it. So, as I'm pulling...

Unless he has a climate controlled space for it, and a automotive bubble ( think about the "boy in the bubble" ) to keep the elements from destroying the...

    Should I buy new headlights?

    Being that I'm an auto technician by trade for the last 16 years, and that I also detail cars on the side, I say buy new ones. I've wet sanded, polished, buffed, and cleared old headlights. Only for them to yellow again in about 1 year to 18 months time. I did it 3 times on my 2003 Dodge Ram...

    Harbor Freight DA Owners Chime In

    I bought the HF DA a few years back, when I needed to sand down the paint on a car I was fixing up. It worked good, but vibrated like hell. I had to use gel-gloves to absorb the vibrations. Being a automotive technician by trade, I spend one December taking it apart, and cleaning out the grease...
