He has 159,000 subscribers. Shouty has 2.74m. Eric is partially retired and has 1.36m.
Shouty is more of an entertainer than a mechanic, but I still prefer him and Eric to this other guy.

He's right though, if you replace a part and it doesn't fix the problem you didn't diagnose it correctly. Even good mechanics make mistakes/misdiagnose, but good mechanics get it right the first time the great majority of the time.
