YouTuber I wouldn’t take my car there (@i_wouldnt_take_my_car_there) earned his subscribers by rigging cars and testing “honest” mechanics. Most videos reveal scam attempts, technicians discussing ways to squeeze money out of customers, or not fixing the “problem.”

He’s also exposed mechanics lying about what was wrong to upsell services and parts the car didn’t need. In a recent video, though, he rigged his wife’s car to display a trouble code for the EVAP/emissions system. He did so by removing the o-ring on the gas cap with a less effective one, causing a trouble code to immediately appear.

In his video, he Googled a mechanic and found a local independent mechanic who earned a 4.6-star rating from thousands of raving reviews. True to his channel’s name, he fixed a camera to the dashboard and made an appointment.

The mechanic diagnosed it quickly

His cameras revealed the mechanic, Rob, at Gwinnett Car Care & Rod V Rod in Atlanta, Georgia did everything right. He used a scanner to read the trouble code, checked for additional leaks in the EVAP system, and checked the gas cap.

His diagnosis was just that – the seal wasn’t correct, alerting the computer of a leak. Rob didn’t charge the YouTuber for a diagnosis and told him to replace the gas cap to resolve the trouble code. Therefore, Rob’s shop was one of the very few he deemed honest and worth spending money at.

His viewers were stunned to see there were still honest mechanics out there.

“It’s good to see honest mechanic, I hope you left a positive Google and Yelp review,” wrote a viewer, earning 72 likes.

Another likened Rob to a mythical being.

“Wow, you found a one-in-a-million mechanic who’s not a scammer,” they wrote.

Many others praised Rob for his extensive knowledge and his willingness to use it for good.

“Nothing he said was inaccurate,” wrote a mechanically inclined viewer.

The YouTuber wrote that while Rob didn’t take payment for the diagnosis, he did tip him $30.
