Yeah they pass at a glance. But if you look around at all, the account has uploaded that video 14 times, and there's no evidence of actual mechanic work. No grease or tools in the video, not even a vehicle. And the video stability doesn't match with someone holding up a phone like that.

And the video stability doesn’t match with someone holding up a phone like that.

Image stabilization can be pretty good lately, but I must admit that I don't spend much time watching handheld phone selfie videos.
