ChrisFix

ChrisFix is a car repair channel made by Chris, who films, edits and publishes each video himself. His aim is to show ordinary drivers how to fix their own cars properly, whether they are complete beginners or already handy with a spanner.

The videos are practical how-to guides. Each one takes a single job, such as replacing valve seals, converting drum brakes to disc brakes or treating rust, and walks through it step by step. Chris explains the tools, the order of work and the reasons behind each step. He also follows longer projects, rebuilding cars over months and showing how far they come.

Some highlights include:

A guide to repairing rust on a car body without welding, showing how corrosion spreads and how to stop it.

An explanation of the different fuel grades, what octane rating means and how it relates to the way an engine burns fuel.

A look back at a year of work on a project car, showing how a neglected vehicle is brought back to life piece by piece.

The channel has around 11.3 million subscribers.

Cars are a good way into mechanical and automotive engineering. Fixing one means understanding combustion, friction, hydraulics and materials, all core ideas in a mechanical engineering course. ChrisFix suits anyone who likes taking things apart, and it gives a real feel for the hands-on side of careers such as automotive technician, motorsport engineer or vehicle design engineer.
