- i offered him 2500 dollars

- and in a classic negociation we met exactly in the middle at 2700 dollars
best laugh of the day chris 😂😂😂you kick ass

What I love about this guy is, he is the only KRplusr 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. 💎

Dude actually goes the extra steps. Not just going for quick cash grabs, but actually doing respectable work, whilst giving a second life to old equipment/cars.

my mechanic wasn't happy when i told him i did it with a youtube video

My dad used to watch your channel so much. He passed away four months back. Just came across your fresh video after all this time but without him. Miss watching with him. Thanks for all your content Chris. God bless you

Chris is almost at 10 million subs and he's still making videos the way he always did, no merch, no website with more videos, non of that bs, he cuts to the chase, gives good advice and good videos, and he always has, and still does. keep it up.

hey chris. just bought a 2004 hyundai sonata for $450 and it is running and driving, clean title, registered, and smogged. just had to replace hood and drivers side headlight and it loooks brand new. so stoked. watching this video inspires me to find more deals and flip them.

I used to buy and sell cars and made a nice living from it… I didn’t start out with much so I used to fix little things I could and be supper honest with the buyers about what i knew…. I love the care you put into the cars to make sure you minimize problems for buyers !

I love how he’s not just showing how to make a quick buck, but genuinely shows concern for the buyer of the car as well.

What I love is that this isn't a how to hide flaws it is how to legitimately fix things and make it a car people want to buy

Man I just wanted to say thank you for the Car knowledge that you spread out to the Car Lover World. You are spot on with your knowledge and details I have myself a new Car friend for life Rock On brother and don't change a thing😊

The detail in this video is amazing. Not just the video but everything you need to perform it yourself. Shows the amount of work that has gone into this video. Thank you Chris 😊

I love how throughout the video, all Chris was thinking about was making whoever buys this car happy. Goes to show what an amazing human being this is. We need more people like Chris.

bro plays car mechanics simulator IRL.

Half man, half legend. Not only does he go in depth of the how to's. This is actually the basis of any hustle. Find a problem, fix it and charge for it. I'm not anywhere near as handy as Chris but the fact he's not shying away from the cars that "seem" to require more work is typically where you'll find the gems. For the capable or semi car guy out there this is pure free insight on making some extra income.

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

Dude shows you how to save money and make money without feeling like it’s an advertisement. Been a follower for years and let me say you are a life changer. Learned more from you than I have from anyone. Thank you

It's important to buy cars when interest rates and prices are low. My financial advisor also gave me the same advice. When rates and prices are low, it can save you money on financing and make the overall cost more affordable.

Hi Mr Chrisfix, I wanted to tell you that I am now addicted to your Brand , Channel & especially Videos!! You are definitely one of a kind taking your time explaining the detail in your processes & you are actually easy to listen for someone that usually can’t finish & moves on with average vids. Keep up the great work!!

FYI for your future spray paint issues: paint thinner will take off the spray paint and not harm the vehicle's paint. The vehicle's clearcoat is a 2k paint (has hardener). The spray paint is a 1k paint (no hardener and technically never actually dries). If you leave thinner on the 2k paint it will eventually break it down over time. However, if you just wipe off the 1k paint and allow the thinner to evaporate or wipe it off as you go, you won't have any issues.

I've been watching your videos for years. I like how excited you seem while giving very good information on how to repair vehicles. Great job. Look forward to your next ones.

Mr. Chris, I can only say, God bless you.. you are a generous, and kind young man. Your tips are greatly appreciated!

One of the highest production values on this platform, let alone in the car space. The way you communicate in the videos to the camera shots to listing the products it's all incredibly professional and informative. You're doing great work, ChrisFix.

Whoever taught you how to work on cars literally gave you a golden ticket to the life’s jackpot cool channel

I have been a detailer for over a decade and I appreciate the fact that you are using quality products that are able to be purchased over the counter for the common person and not using low quality products. Also great technique with a lot of what you do.

Dude, you should start your own automechanic university. I WOULD DEF ENROLL. Love the way you break things down and teach

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)

"In a classic negotiation" Best line I've ever heard from Chris! Made me laugh for a while then Chris said the final price was 2700! Chris makes my day once again!🤣🤣

I can see why u have 10 mil subs. Very articulate and thorough and well paced. And i sound like a robot.
Congrats on finding your niche. I wish i had the tools and know how to flip cars. I'm getting into marketing for small businesses and its kinda similar. Making money from others by providing a service. No need to have a 9-5 job. Help other people and you will always be employed and compensated. Well done man.

Almost 10 million subs, and he deserves every single one of them... Truly the king of attention to detail... such an inspiration

Couple extra points for sellers! If the car has anything other than a clean title noone will touch it. A rebuilt title, salvage, no title they wont buy it unless it's literally dirt cheap. Also I learned to check the vin number on engines to ensure they are the original engine that came with the car... if they dont match there's no telling how many miles it might have. Good luck everyone!

Hey Chris, I wanted to thank you for the videos you make. I’m 14, so I don’t have a car yet, but the knowledge I’ve gained has helped me diagnose and fix problems on my parents’ cars. Also, I have a go-kart and a while back it needed it’s oil replaced. Had I never seen your videos, I would have never gotten the courage to do it myself in fear of messing it up. Finally, whenever I’m bored I watch your videos. They have such a good entertainment value for some reason. Also, your videos help cheer me up when I’m down.
Again, thank you.

Dude your videos are so impressive because you teach people how to do big jobs with simple tools which is so convenient. You are also very entertaining to watch. I watch videos of your that aren't even relevant to something I am fixing, I just like to learn and your videos make it fun. Thanks for your help!

This video is almost too good to be true. So much information, freely given away. You even sound like such a nice person

I swear ChrisFix could make a video tutorial about how to change a lightbulb and he’d still find a way to make it interesting and fun to watch. I have NEVER seen another content creator who has such easy to follow, to the point and descriptive car tutorials. I think it’s safe to say you’ve saved all of us a time or two, Chris!

Nice to see you back! As a high school senior, I have found your videos extremely helpful. Thank you so much! I was actually thinking about flipping cars this summer, and this guide will help me a ton. Thanks again for all the genuine, well made videos!

Hey thank you brother for all the great information you give out for free, you’re a gentleman and a scholar . My son asked me two months ago if we can do what you do , and now I found your channel to put us on the right track. Thank you God Bless You.

Just found your channel i love how you fix things instead of covering them up

You are truly inspiring. I know next to nothing about car mechanics, let alone electrical. Thanks to your passion I am looking at getting my first project car to tinker with and see what happens, so thank you! I would love to see more of your flip videos. Thank you again!

Thank you for making this video, Chris! Your expertise is incredibly helpful and awesome!

youre videos are sooo good man keep going

As a Prius owner this was a wonderful surprise to learn more about how to fix common problems. Follow up on the bad hybrid battery? I'm looking forward to the center console restoration video too.

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.

I’ve been watching you since you got the drift mustang, And it was one of the best vids you made. I will never stop watching you!

“This is a before… and after…”
So satisfying!! Love the videos Chris

I gotta say...I'm not a car guy whatsoever, but your video is phenomenal. You are a gifted, talented and SKILLED craftsman. And thank you for regularly reminding your listeners that you can realistically expect some surprises. Because something like Flips, can be very very attractive to get into, but if you don't have experience, you could lose your money. So thank you. P.S. if you ever go Public, your stock would be solid

It honestly makes me happy to see Chris get excited about fixing everything. It makes me feel like I’m right there and it gets me excited about what he does too.

Your super inspiring bro I been watching you for years now and you helped me a lot and now I work on my own cars and I appreciate everything you teach an look forward to more

YOU'RE A HARD WORKING MAN. Great videos. 👍

I love that this video reviews a pretty detailed list of "things to improve the look of your car." While I've seen nearly each individual video Chris has mentioned, he did a good job at summing up his other videos with this video demo. I keep saying to myself, "Yep, I remember that video." Good stuff Chris!

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. 🤙🏼

Welldone Chris!👍🏻
What a skill!
Wish I could have such a skill!

I am sure you do not need any more compliments, but you my friend, are just amazing at what you do! I can watch your videos all day long!

Hey Chris, I'm 15 and I've watched you since 2016/17 and I can't express how much I've learnt from you. Keep doing what you're doing bro!

Thanks Chris for always helping us out. Can't even count how many of your videos I've seen. Saved my ass many times! Even if I don't need help fixing something, it's so nice to see how to in the future. Thank you so much for making youtube a better place

Your skill set is masterful. A lot of this could only be done with your skills. I would lose a lot of profit having to pay for things you can do yourself. I can still see a great profit margin having a good mechanic. Great video. Definitely inspired.

Even though I can't do this, I'm incredibly glad that there are people that do. Reconditioning and reusing is by far the best thing we can do.

it is really really cool to see how you go the extra mile to be SURE the cars you restore & flip are reliably fixed. too often one sees supposedly professional mechanics take snide shortcuts & look for snide ways to take advantage of people.
i would have no worries buying any vehicle you had worked on, i have enjoyed how complete & detailed your videos are & have more confidence working on cars then previously.

Thanks for all the great videos over the years. I bought my 96 GT after seeing you get the drift stang running. I knew my GT was a good buy for the price and how easy it was to fix, all thanks to you! She's still running strong 6 years later.

Very glad to see you Chris, another cool video. Thanks as always. I'm waiting for an issue about the arrangement and review of your garage-workshop. As always, I love it. You inspire and help

One thing is to "talk how to do", the other is "tell how I did". You did all these projects, and now is showing how you flipped the cars. Chris, you rock! Keep up the amazing work :) . Hugs from Portugal.

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’re the best there is man, where are people like you. Keep up the good stuff

😭😭
I’m looking for something I can
Venture into on short term basis, I have about $20k sitting in my savings accounts.

Hey Chris,
I just wanted to say I love your videos.
I am a 11 year old and I love cars.
These videos help me and my Dad fix his car with all the good tools.
Keep up the good work.
- Lucas

The amount of work CHRIS puts into this videos is crazy !! ... its also crazy to see him grow all the way from 2million subs and now almost at 10 million. As an all time car guy and fan I must say GOOD WORK CHRIS!!!! 💪

Thank you man you make me feel really confident when working on cars!

Bro you make this look so easy! I’m glad I found your videos

finally it's been long enough, chris

When doing the full cleaning of the vehicle, it might not be a bad idea to start with the engine bay, then do the headlights, followed by the exterior of the car, and finishing with the interior. Doing so would keep from transferring dirt and grime back to an area you just cleaned. If you do the exterior before the engine, you could have grime and soap splatter on the exterior, making some spots not as clean. If you go to all of the effort of buffing out scratches before doing the headlights, but your hand slips while sanding the headlights, you will have to redo the area around the headlights to remove any scratches you might have added. And if you do the interior first, when you're cleaning the areas inside the doors, you might get that dirt and the plastic cleaner stuff on the seats.

I used to do this but got away from it for a while. Life got in the way. You had me looking for a flip today. I love it! Thanks

the reason why I watch and trust this mans channel is because he's completely transparent about everything, how to do it where to go, what you should look for it, can we get it fixed, or can we not, he doesn't try to like, well, we could do this, no, he says, let's go do this, he does that shows you step by step, and guess what now you feel like, hey, if I go back Inna watches, I could possibly do what he does maybe

I'm an illustrator/digital artist, but the instructions on your videos are always so clear and helpful, that even I felt empowered enough to try my hand at cleaning, and doing little maintenance on my own car. Since finding your channel, I've detailed my car and my engine (old BMW) by myself, and it's so rewarding that I'm seriously considering getting a little car to fix up and learn with. Thanks for being an exceptional resource for us, especially for ladies like me who don't have someone else to ask for help! So awesome.

I think this is the only video in all of social media that actually shows you how to do side hustle that you can actually do. THANK YOU CHRIS FIX! (even though i know nothing about fixing cars or flipping)

Great Video Chris I really enjoyed the Video and learn so much along the way, I am planning to go to a shop to build my skill sets and later on start flipping cars myself.

Best teaching youtuber ever
thanks for sharing your skills brother

Hey ChrisFix,
Keep up the work, man 😉
Every thing you post just brings joy to my heart and all of us watching you come closer to 10M subs!
Don’t give up and the diamond play button will be all yours with our help👏

This was an update to ChrisFix greatest hits. The detailing, the headlights, the inspection are all things I've taken away and done from this channel. Love your stuff as always! I gotta say, take it easy on yourself. I hope you have a good team behind you for some of this stuff because KRplus burn out is real and I wouldn't want that for you. As always, top tier on the quality of work and content!

I love this! It's like a show since it's almost an hour long and it's pretty educational. I'm trying to quit my 9-5 job because I wanna work on something I like, like being a mechanic or electrician and buying them, then selling cars by doing what this video shows.🙂👊

Very informative & inspirational.
First video ive seen and well,
im thankful for the knowledge.

I’ve never worked on a car before and over the weekend I was able to diagnose my coolant leak and successfully replace the thermostat and wooder pump in my 06 Grand Cherokee. Thanks for all of the videos!

Chris coming back with a bang in 2023!! I'm looking forward to this series as I bought a Mint 2010 Prius with 40k on it 2 years ago. Has served me well so far but I know the inevitable will happen and I trust your videos. They will definitely help me out with future repairs!!! I hope you go over battery fan cleaning when you get into the Hybrid battery and I hope you mention the DR. Prius APP!! Also, probably not gonna happen but would definitely appreciate an EGR cleaning video on this if possible. I hear its easy but I'm still worried ill mess something up. Thanks Chris!

This guy is taking this to next level believe me i have learnt a lot from him
Stay blessed

Extremely well explanatory video. Thx Chris

chrisfix videos is so satisfying to watch for me. i remember watching your videos wayyy before i became a mechanic. now i watching this video seeing the old videos in this video just gave me nostalgia. i love seeing the progress and thanks for these videos man.

BEFORE... AND AFTER.. LOVE IT CHRIS

These dudes are GOATED 🔥🔥 Keep up the good work

Absolutely love this guys content, not only can I fix cars but even buses too. Thanks man without you I wouldn't reach to were I am now keep it up, you can definitely teach many upcoming generations to come that want to be like you.

Watching you is like watching my dad teach me things when I was a child. I won't flip any cars, but by watching you, somehow, you complete me.

Hey Chris, any ideas on when the videos will be coming out for this particular car? Been looking forward to them for so long honestly can't wait. Really is one of the best youtubers out there and have watched and even rewatched all your videos over the time. So glad to have found your channel around 4 years ago. I have learnt so much from your videos and the reason why i started repairing my own cars because you give so much confidence with clear and easy steps to follow with also common tools and that people like me have but not the high end shop tools that most youtubers say to use. Thanks again chris!

Wow.. the attention to detail just blew me away!! Great video!

car flips are easily my favorite videos these days. Loving the content!

Super informative and interesting video! A small welding suggestion would be with that mig welder, lower your wire feed speed, raise your voltage, and point the tip of the welding gun at the weld and push your weld forward instead of pulling the tip away from the weld as your welding.
Honestly though, the welds you produced after grinding definitely looked good enough.
Thanks!

Yo man I’m from San Francisco and you got yourself a new subscriber.. the way you go in on detail is top tier!

chris is such an awesome man. Genuine and also a car whisper.

I watched your channel years back but one day stopped for some reason.
And just days ago, i randomly thought of your channel and decided to check it back out and here you are, still the same humble teacher I remembered back when I stayed up until late watching your videos, excited about gaining the knowledge I needed to work on my first car the following day whether it was spark plugs, shocks, brakes, sensors, tire rods, etc.
Thank you for still being here, Mr. Fix! Look forward to seeing more 😊

This video was in my recommended videos (probably because I've been researching buying used EVs) and while I know that I personally couldn't do this side hustle for multiple reasons, I watched the whole video. I have so much respect for not only what you do but the production quality of the video itself. Making people a checklist and just posting it in the description as well. So much respect. You're awesome! (Also got a good laugh at that "Meet in the middle at $2700.")
This was really interesting to watch, if for nothing else, to at least see how much you can simply clean the car out and really improve it. I don't have the extractor vacuum, but it seems they're pretty easy and cheap to pick up. Basically anyone can do this if they're dedicated enough, and I see so many used cars that just don't do it. We'll see if I'm too lazy when it comes to selling my old Nissan Leaf in a year or two.

Chris thank for such good vidoes my cars have never looked so clean. And this video in particular helped me flio my first car. Got it for $1700 and sold for $14k after a clutch replacement. Easy to do because i work in an auto shop but still the checklist and the basics you show have helped me alot. And even some of the other videos have given me enough knowledge base that i got offered the auto shop job with no qualifications with the sights of getting qualified. You've help me so much.
