In this video I work on a customer’s 2017 Buick Enclave that came in with a small list. Rear brakes, knocking noise in the rear end, engine light, oil change, battery and few other little things. Let’s get after it.
-Enjoy!

Looks like that ladder came over with Columbus….
Swelled lug nuts . . . first thing I do is change them out for non-capped, chrome nuts.
I know I didn't see the rear caliper hang by the rubber hose for a fraction of a minute while cleaning.🙀
It's an Earl Change.
I replace all my lug nuts with aftermarket solid lugs nuts. Whoever designed the ones with the chrome cans should stub toe everyday.
I Love SMA! No one knows of LoctiteOlogistis unless you watch SMA or go for a Ologist degree at an un-named foreign university! 2012 Acadia: I've been able to effectively fix every SES light (very few) on this car Thanks to Eric O! p.s., for a v-6 I think the 3.6 is pretty sporty for a four door van!
what is the brand for the t handles with the sockets. Love the videos keep them coming.
Your the bestâ¤â¤â¤
That ladder builds core strength
Why not swap injectors with a known good cylinder?
If he knew there was a bulletin about terminal tension, why wouldn't he shoot for that first?
Sounds like the customer paid for an unnecessary injector.
Excuse me for chiming in 2months after production.
Eric, what are you doing to get the rust off of brake bracket bolts??
When you find a system where they've used stop-leak when it wasn't needed , do you 8nfirm the owner and suggest a coolant flush and refill ?
This is how a break job is done ✅
Excellence 🇺🇸
I really enjoyed your brake,job videos you go the extra mile cleaning everything for your customers,thanks for your videos.
I'd get rid of that dangerous ladder if i were you. Had one like it. Threw it away. Best decision i ever made.
27:57 you can bet loctitologist is a real job. bet they get a nice government subsidy too.
Love the music on the test drive
I’m a simple man. I see the ladder I like the video
Totally enjoyable. This video was awesome in so many ways! From the ladder to all the quality work done to the quick diagnosis, pointing out the rad issues, uncommon things like programing the tpms sensor and of course, the humor. What a gem!
I Love that noise your gun makes ….
It's official: You can buy a new ladder
You have our permission if anyone says anything
What do you mean Cadillac from 80's said with every flush use radiator sealant, something htm4000 aluminum heads iron block bad engine. Your lucky body parts can be months.
Why, because the brakes will squeak, but it really is a harmonic sound. I use that red watery silicone in the bottle but will look for that stuff. Nice job and I bet the stealer oh dealer does it just the same way, NOT. I have worked on that same kind of car more than a few times.
And the shoes are still on, I have had were the shoes are not glued on, I glued them back on, we got more salt than you and NO one ever uses there parking brake.
Ok, that makes sense — Loc-Tite being, essentially, anti-seize. I never thought about it, but you're 100% right. I have never seen a Loc-Tited bolt that was rusty where the Loc-Tite was. Interesting!
