It is ok to "take a guess" when your guess is educated and not just blind guessing. You never blind guess.

Spock : [to Dr. McCoy] I don't think he understands. McCoy : No, Spock. He means that he feels safer about your guesses than most other people's facts. - From Star Trek IV The Voyage Home.
Exactly how I feel about Eric O's guesses because it's called experience.

I think most of us who watch this channel know that you don't normally just guess and throw parts. However, the benefit of your experience is what makes this an option, particularly if you've been transparent with the customer.

My teacher in auto shop used to call it the SWAG method, Scientific Wild Ass Guess.

That young man is going to learn a lot.... The right way.

On the original Star Trek, the captain's nickname for Dr. McCoy was "Bones". Hope that clears it up for you ! ๐๐

Poor McCoy being asked about โโฆhis rubbers.โ๐๐

"i don't want to translate it all, it says genuine Gm on it". That explains why i watch you right there.

79 year old mechanic still learning . Love the small socket wrapped in insulation tape for winding around in tight spaces . you are not guilty of shortcutting .. you ARE guilty of calling in the years of experience you have amassed .Priceless.

Somebody beat me to it, but the key is "educated guess" and not just 'guess'. It's what separates a great tech from a parts changer. Knowing how the part is supposed to operate and what's involved in it doing its job, past experience, etc are critical. And of course, you being who you are, the other part which is just as important is being crystal clear with the customer about the process.

There's a monumental difference between a parts-cannon, shotgun guess and a professional experience educated guess. Heck, if anything, the exception proves the rule. Awesome job as always, Eric.

Wish the world had more honest mechanics like you. Good to see Mrs O back

Give McCoy a SMA hoodie.

Dear sir. You don't need to make light of your issues with your fingers anymore. We all have medical issues and we totally understand. Fortunately, a lot of people have that type of situation and I'm sure it's difficult situation but. No need to mention it. We understand. Love your channel and watch it forever. Been watching it forever. Take care sir

I am a factory trained person and you are a field trained professional and I would take your best guess anytime over a lot of so called dealer trained persons any day Eric. Thank you for sharing all of your talents.

You're a goddamn hero my man. Wish more mechanics were as conscientious about making a repair to outlast the car

What!!!!! Eric pushes the button on the parts cannon?!?!?!? I'm telling Ivan at Pine Hollow!!!

I hope McCoy is keeping a notebook with all of your educated guesses. You guesses are based upon years of experience. You just can't have enough experience. Great job guys.

I just want to make sure I am clear when I say that as a general rule I DO NOT condone "guessing," if you will. There are rare instances when there is an intermittent problem in front of me that I can not duplicate I may elect to use an educated guess providing it is cost effective and most importantly understood by the customer as nothing more than an educated guess. Was I clear in the video and is there any questions when I think it may be appropriate or inappropriate for that matter? -Eric O.
