Car Mechanic Plays Car Mechanic Simulator
i don't care how how it happens i just want to be a car hi my name is malachite perry and i'm an automotive technician so i've been working on cars ever since i was about 13 14 years old my grandfather taught my mom and then my mom taught me and then i just kind of learned everything from her and my uncles i'm ac certified right now i hold two asc certifications in brakes and steering and suspension do you mind telling the anecdote about how you wanted to be a car when you grew up so i was young i was probably like five and i was watching this one movie that was made back in the 80s and it was a moonwalker with michael jackson in it and he wished upon a star and then all of a sudden he started making all these mechanical noises and he turns into a car as soon as i saw that from that point on i wanted to be a car i don't care how how it happens i just want to be a car all right so it looks like today we're going to be playing car mechanic simulator 2021 [Music] have you ever heard of a car wash dude like if you take care of the car the car will take care of you thank god the customer is not around i've been under cars where i had as soon as you pop the hood there's like an animal in there i'm like okay really like snakes possums cats it's just not okay when i was working out honda customer came in because they kept having like a foul smell coming through their vents me and all the technicians we all looked at each other were like okay so we already know what's gonna happen we're just like expecting like the shredded remains of it but as soon as we pop the hood we just see like this long like rattlesnake just all the way across the engine and it was dead i just took like a gasket scraper i was just scraping it off the edge that's one of many animal versus car stories just check your cars before you take off especially in the wintertime because after you drive and you're you go in the house and everything your car is still warm it's still hot now you have a stray animal that's outside in the in the cold they're looking for a nice warm place to stay and they burrow inside your car because of the heat from the engine and transmission so then they're asleep in the morning when you get ready to go to work you start the engine in well [Music] that's it story over you can roll the credits after that like that's it surprise to fix we got the brakes we got the fuel pump oil filter round air filter two carb and four tires let's just uh it doesn't if only it was this easy in real life just the lift automatically does it for you i would love that you have no idea this is actually very detailed this is pretty cool yeah i usually don't really work on cars this rusty because i live in southern california like i'm in the middle of like south orange county so it's like there's no snow here thank god oh no is that one rusted i knew it i knew it i was counting it i'm like there's no way that this car is not gonna have anything that's not rusted out here that i'm gonna have to take off i just knew it where's the peanut butter blaster at least that's what i call it it's called pb blaster it's like rust penetrant spray ah there we go once again if only things were that easy i am dismounting the tire so i can put on new tires on these wheels at least that's what i think i did i'm not sure what happened right now we'll find out eventually three different ways to balance the star should only be two ways but it's all right this is a good simulator so far i like this this is fine so now i'm gonna change the oil use equipment there we go okay figured it out yeah like it's really never actually that easy i'll say this like on some cars it's easier like you know on your japanese cars it's easier to do an oil change versus on like a european car or even some american cars or okay i gotta tell y'all this one there you go so this person like they made an enemy because it came in for a simple oil change and i'm trying to unscrew the drain plug just to change the oil and for some reason it's not loosening like for i can't listen for the life of me and we had like three other technicians come over and we're like dude there's something wrong that's going on here we're looking at the old oil pan and we're trying to get the drain plug out and it turns out that whoever did his last oil change put on loctite on and i'm like yo you made an interview or something like that and we're like yo like somebody hates this dude we ended up finding out he ended up being cheated on by somebody or something like that like this whole love triangle thing i don't remember all the details because i don't know this dude he ended up going into that auto shop where that guy worked at and so he put gasket sealer on his oil pan and locked it on the screws and i'm like dude like that's why i always say never piss off the people who fix your food or fix your car because we're vindictive i'm not vindictive like i've been working on that it actually really does look like real life okay here we go drum brake cylinder there it is okay so we're gonna need two of those 2 15 75 15.
Okay four thousand dollars for these jeez this piece of crap all right confessions of an automotive technician oh lord forgive me oh lord see uh see when i open my own auto shop it ain't gonna look like this it's gonna be nice clean calm cool and collected like uh-uh it ain't gonna be looking like this this drives me nuts i can't so this is a tire mounting machine so what i'm doing here is taking the rubber off the wheel so when you're dismounting a tire what you should really do is make sure that the shovel which is that part right there is not going to close in on the sensor if you do then you just damage the sensor well actually you didn't really damage it you more like destroyed it ask me how i know hey there they go there's the new tires i just want to get this guy out of my shop i think i did all the tires so that's a thing now oh yeah the oil filter all right i hope this is the new part let's see yes okay there we go back in its place oh my god it said back in its place that is something that people need to do put things back in their place i cannot tell you how many times i'm like looking for something and i'm looking for it it's proper place right where it should be at and guess what it's not there because somebody moved it someplace else so now nobody can find it see when i open my auto shop it ain't gonna look like this it's gonna be nice clean calm cool and collected like uh ain't gonna be looking like this i'm like venting as i go whenever you're putting on a wheel you always want to do it in a star pattern because that's kind of like you're making sure it's even force all along the side of the wheel so that way your wheel goes on straight and it doesn't go on crooked or anything like that the issues are usually wheel offs it's a very very serious thing because it's like what if you work on someone's car and you take their wheel off and you put it back on but you didn't put it back on correctly or you didn't even torque it down to manufacturer spec and now that person is behind the wheel of that car and they get on the freeway and they're traveling at 70 miles an hour right their wheel flies off at 70 miles an hour whenever it's something that's this serious i always think of an extreme case scenario so that way it covers whatever i do and it makes sure that whatever i put on is gotta be a-okay i meant to click on that one not that one but it's all right it's a simulator it's all good all right so the fuel pump and the round air filter to carb i cannot for the life when we find this fuel pump dude trying to look in the back here because usually the fuel pump is over by the gas tank which is in the bag so i'm clicking really where the fuel tank should be at but it's nothing is happening we went to what's called examination mode to figure out where the parts are at we found it through examination mode i mean normally the way you take off a fuel pump again depending on your make and model is you go inside the car you remove the rear seats and you access the fuel tank that way so like right here and right here essentially are where the fuel pump or fuel pumps would be located at oh wait we're getting somewhere we're getting somewhere there we go hey sweet perfect fit i just also remember that i have to add oil to it so i'm just gonna do that before i forget but i'm working on cars i'd be eavesdropping on people's conversations i'll be here some juicy stuff i remember i was working at this one auto shop this lady i guess she was like working like on like her laptop or something like that she was in like some kind of like meeting or whatever so she has her laptop in her passenger seat she's sitting in the driver's seat i'm like underneath her hood like you know doing an inspection and i guess she forgot her that her window was slightly cracked and i'm hearing that like i guess one of her friends ended up leaving another friend because they got drunk at the club and they ended up like cheating on somebody and i'm like ooh talk slow like i want to hear this i forget i'm working on the car at this point i'm like yo i'm invested in this conversation that's why i love working on cars like i just hear and see everything okay so i think this car is done essentially other tasks change brake fluid oh see see thank god i clicked on other tasks because i would have missed this shut off hey oh yeah so here's an important thing if your brake fluid level is low then usually that's a telltale sign that you need your brake pads changed or you need some kind of brake service so in this case since we already did the brakes and the brake fluid is so low then that means there's some kind of hydraulic leak somewhere potentially because it didn't go all the way back up to its normal level so we'll just add fluid and then you know we'll pump the brakes in real life that's what you're supposed to do but i'm not even going over there because that side of the shop just makes me mad i'm not even quick over there hey there we go okay i did it sweet okay so honestly this is a pretty cool game if you want to figure out how to work on cars but you just don't have the means to just yet like if you don't have the money to go back to school or no one that is close to you really knows how to work on cars or what have you i think this would be a good option for you i think anybody in the automotive would benefit from this game on a scale of one to ten ten being the most accurate one being like not accurate at all by any stretch of the imagination i would probably give this game like a good like 7 out of 10 8 out of 10 around there there are some things in it where it's like i feel like it's kind of missing a step or you know something kind of just disappears and you're like okay where did it go and you don't really know where you left off at but other than that though i mean with my first time playing this game this is very very accurate of what it's like to work on a car i really want to buy this game like this is really cool i like it
