“Hi, I'm located here in my area and I was just watching a video on VideoProven called ‘How to fix a troubleshoot a car that won't start’. I see that it's rated as a Medium repair and requires a Digital Multimeter and a Battery Terminal Brush, which I don't have on hand. I'm a bit stuck on the step at the 08:55 mark. Can you send someone over to help me finish this up?”
