What’s a good body shop in Houston?
i live in South-Africa and after 2 big car dealerships (4 different shops) did crap services on our cars we drive now 60 miles to another town to get our Toyota`s serviced.
Scotty Kilmer I used to change my oil until my knee and hip was bad. Now I have been letting Walmart do my oil change and they do a great job and they also charge decent price for decent work like they used to do in old days. My Walmart has also “older” guys working there, they are old oil heads and I like talking cars with them. So not all “Walmart” car guys are bad, we just have to get to know them and make sure they are not tinny boppers making chump change for there party money.
Scotty I want to buy my dream car wait for it ... a Toyota 4Runner there my favorite car!! I’m looking at one right now it’s a 2002 Toyota 4Runner SR5 it has 98,024 miles.They took really good care of the car they want $8,000 is that a good price ??? Or Is it a bad deal?? Can you help me out here please!?!!

7:28 Kia/Hyundai have engine problems up the WAHZOO! 😂😂😂
My biggest surprise in this video was hearing that there is a running Dodge Intrepid still operating on public roads.

You're ruthless.... lol
It ain't just Walmarts who forget to put oil cap back on, its the dealerships who do the same thing. Never ever take your Car to Wayne Subaru in NJ.
Unbelievable truth.
Sorry that happened bud.
Yeah, NJ sucks. I can say that because I spent twenty years in that sucky state before I could escape.

I've actually owned Hyundais and Kias and have had a lot less problems with them than I have any of my American branded cars. I have found that most people who complain about Kias and Hyundais bought them, ragged them out and did absolutely zero maintenance on them.
Excellent point Kelly Rhoads. If you do regular maintenance on your vehicle it will last as long you want it to..of course things are going to break..hey even the space shuttle blew apart, and that was built by people with deg and brain's.
Two semi retired mechanics have told me that modern Kia an Hyundai are excellent cars, easy and inexpensive to repair and service, they keep winning car of the year here in numerous categories and have the consistently highest user review ratings...better than Toyota and Honda.
I don't know about the US, but here in the UK Kia give a 100,000 miles/7 year warranty on all their cars; which is more than any other manufacturer. They wouldn't be able to do that if they didn't believe their cars were good enough.
@@collinslfc Kia and Hyundai today are much more reliable than in the past. In the US they have a 10 year/100,000 mile power train warranty which is the highest of any car sold in the US
I bought a brand new, 3 miles when I bought it, 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe last year. After I noticed I hated that stupid auto shut off function to “save gas” I had the option to turn it off every time I stared the car. 600 miles later, I noticed it would make a weird vibration when the car would come to a complete stop. Even with that auto shut off option off. I took it tback to the dealership and explained to them. I took a tech with me on a test drive and he felt it. 2 weeks later in the shop with them, Hyundai tech line said it needed a new transmission... long story short, I got out of that car and they provided me with a new car that didn’t do that. They were unable to give me the same color(wife was bummed anout that) but I wasn’t going to settle with them for a new tranny. 2 other Santa fes I tear drove did the same thing. I can see it in a few years that’s going to be a recall because ppl don’t know or worry about those minor things
I went to Walmart for an oil change and they cross threaded the screw...They had to pay for a new oil pan. Scotty is right again!
Incompetent enough to not put the cap back and span the screw. Awesome!

Walmart is 100% American quality in workmanship. Enjoy it.

Conclusion: "should have bought a Celica and listened to Scotty".
He needs to file a lawsuit. Most attorneys will take these cases pro bono btw and you pay them if you win like 30%(and in cases like these you will absolutely win/they’ll settle).. you can also recoup attorney fees and court costs.. so don’t be afraid to go to an attorney. Hell ..most of them will talk to you for free and analyze your case- and this guy absolutely has a case.. and only driven 6/10ths of a mile? He will win big.
But you should learn how to change your oil on your own by watching Scottys videos.
I've had 2 2001 Elantra's one I bought new drove it 250,000 miles! The second one I bought use and drove it to 358,000!
Not sure why customers of yours are having engine problems at only 100,000 miles.
But I gave that second one to my son he drove two weeks over heated the engine blew the motor! (a heater hose went bad and he keep driving) If he had stopped driving when it over heated the car most likely would have made it to the 400,000 mile mark on the original engine and transmission!
My friends Toyota rav4 2016 transmission went out at 70k. My family has but so many Hyundai's from accent to Santa fe no problems at all
Why does every Scotty upload sound like a threat in my notifs?
Scotty Kilmer: You can’t handle the truth!
Thank you Scotty have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Years. Stay healthy...America needs more honest old school men like you!
hello and thanks, Merry Christmas!
@@scottykilmer Thank you for always keeping me informed. I bought my new car using everything you've advice us for.
You are family. :)
Sadly, Scotty is the exception not the norm.
Hyundai and Kia quality has increased through the years. I have an 07 and 18 Santa fe with 200k, and 48k miles, never had issues with either one
David Dennis while they have increased I’m not convinced after hearing millions have caught on fire in the past few years. There’s been a abc news report on it too.
We had multiple kia's come in with blown motors a month....mostly optimas.
Meng Dynasty we had plenty of crv come in our shop with blown up engines
@@Yondaily the new ones?
I worked part dept for Hyundai and 12 -15 2.4L thetta 2 engines are junk , consume a lot of oil and knock 40k miles
Oil change forgot to put the cap on. That happened to me at a Firestone in Philadelphia many years ago. I stopped going to Firestone after that.
It has never happened to me however I been changing my own oil and filters for 50 years now :)
Yes, been changing the oil in my and my family's vehicles for 30 years to ensure it is done correctly. I have done hundreds of oil changes.
Hey Scotty thanks for the advice I've become a mechanic because of you thanks Scotty!
Not sure on the Hyundai.
06 santafe 200k miles. Never broken down or had anything go. The only thing I've replaced is the fuel pump and cleaned the injection system
05 sonata.
Absolutely garbage
Hyundai are making good automobile. They just can't shake the bad rep.
Always exceptions and they are better.
The ,05 fell apart at 100 k miles. As if on cue
Most of people buying Huyndai usually for options and practicality. I bought 15' Sonata and drove 45k a year due to work. It has more options and rooms than Camry. Little issues until 175k, with lazy maintenance when I sold it. I got a few Ks less than comparable Camry but I paid that much less when new.
Hyundai Genesis brand is getting better every year, Scotty has a bias
Me: hey Scotty would you get a... -
Scotty: NO! *laughs hysterically*

It's an endless money pit!

Congratulations, you are a certified mechanic for Walmart.
Walmart auto would try to check the fluid level on electric steering.
Michael Cowan Too bad 2 out of 3 of those answers were wrong.
Just got rid of our 2004 elantras last year, both had over 250k on them with manual transmissions. Still ran perfectly fine, but frame was rusting out on them. Would definitely buy another Hyundai if they made what I wanted.
I'm looking at the 2018 elantra. They were before the stupid CVTs, and they had all the technology of new cars.
I have to disagree with you as far as Hyundai quality and reliability go. I’m on my 5th Hyundai and the other 4 being a 04 Tiburon, 10 gen coupe 2.0, 12 gen coupe 3.8, 15 Tucson and my current 18 Kona have been bulletproof. No major issues at all. That can’t be coincidence.
Ya Scotty! How the hell did we survive back in the 60's without a phone in our pocket.

If your car broke down back then, you could walk to the nearest house and somebody would help you, not shoot you, or sick their dog on you. LOL
@@abelincoln332 I was once driving from San Diego to Boise in an old Subaru Justy, going to visit my buddy after leaving the Navy. This was 1994. I caught a flat tire in the middle of the night in the nowhere desert in northern Nevada. I had a spare, but no lug wrench. A trucker picked me up and took me to a closed dinner where he said the owner's house was in the back and he would lend me the tool. So I walk up to the back door, ring the bell and the guy opens the door to greet me with a shotgun aimed at my head.
Him: Whataya want?
Me: I got a flat tire, can I borrow a lug wrench?
Him: You gonna bring it back?
Me: Ummmmm... definitely.
Fun night.
Hey Scotty, I am an owner of a 2009 Hyundai Accent 5 speed manual with over 256,000 miles with no major issues to speak of here in Canada. I plan on running it for many years to come. There's nothing wrong with the durability and reliability of my Hyundai, and would put it up against any Toyota.
I disagree with you Scotty on the Hyundai cars being crap. They're not. I've had a Hyundai I30 Diesel for about 8yrs and the blood thing is brilliant. I have put almost 300000 klm on it and they have been trouble free. Oh I tell a lie, I have put a clutch in it about 4000 klm ago. Thats it. They are an awesome car.
My aunt has a 2012 Hyundai Elantra with 195,000+ miles. Original powertrain. The thing is, she maintained the car very well. It’s still running fine and is driven daily.
I have a 2017 Elantra with 65,000+ miles. I drive it back and forth to college five days a week. It’s been fantastic and honestly issue-free.
My 17 Elantra just turned 60.000 miles, has been flawless. Change oil every 3000 miles. Run 10 30 , not the watery stuff..owner manual says that's ok. Had transmission fluid changed at 55.000 miles. Will change it again at 100.000 miles. Like the car fine. Bought new in june of 2016.
My Hyundai lasted 220,000 miles. It was a 2004 tiburon
Jon Toland those were good models
Hyundai-kia is great. Their cars are very reliable as far as I'm concerned.
Mine went 500k before sold it to a friend 2 years back. He is still driving it
my 99 mustang currently has over 232k and is still being daily driven
I would still be driving it if someone hadn't hit me and totaled out my car
I do my own oil changes! Can't even trust a dealer to do it right. Subaru stripped the drain plug on my wife's Outback during a "free" oil change.
Many dealers have cut the pay on their experienced mechanics, who often quit and open up their own shop. Then the dealers hire stooges right out of auto tech school.
Facts
Really appreciate your vids, man. Thanks for your service!
The truth is in getting a 94 Celica.
Toyota Camry 94 too old.....try es300
Manual transmission...
Thank you, Scotty!
I'm several months late and a few dollars short - I just watched an old movie and learned why that phrase " . . . You can't handle the truth" sounded so familiar. Jack Nicholson's character in "A Few Good Men." Haha! You're the best, Scotty! 😄
1:55 Guy asked a question about his car just to get told its the worse car the company has every mad 💀💀💀
It's just the truth. Worst car I've ever owned
Had that happen. Loose oil cap. Always check b4uleave the premises. Even my crew says the dealer ships are horrendous for shotgunning parts. Fewer troubleshooters.
Some cannot use scan tools properly or SOFTWARE is unavailable for something as simple as electronic parking brake. Can't even put it in service mode w/o SW.
When I don't feel like changing the oil myself, I take it to a quick stop oil change place. But what I do is watch them change the oil, filter to make sure they drain it out completely. I just keep my distance but still in view.
I had a friend who had his engine rebuilt. When he left the garage, he hadn't gone far when it sounded terrible, then completely quit. As it turned out, the garage had forgotten to do the final torquing on the main bearing caps. You can imagine the results.
I had Wal-Mart strip my oil plug out and could have blown my engine on a long trip (700 miles away from home). Never have gone back....never will.
Just watch them while they work on your car to make sure that they don't screw up
Why’d you have them do that?
@@LlyleHunter
Because it's all American workmanship.
181,000 miles and counting on my 2013 Hyundai Sonata
See! They're good cars and idk why Scotty says they will fall apart after 100k and definitely by 150 when I've heard the complete opposite! And most of the "heard" is based on pure facts and evidence not opinions! Did you ever have the theta 2 recall done though?
172k on my 2010 sonata and it's been flawless.
Bryant브라언트Zachary재커리 No , it’s the ORIGINAL engine and transmission. But I’m fanatical about maintenance.
@@zabryant01Because he is not always right
2012 Genesis Coupe. Babied it. Never raced or driven hard. Clutch failed at 25k miles (been driving manuals for 30 years, never had a clutch go) At 60K the clutch slave cylinder went, dousing the new replaced clutch in brake oil. Replaced clutch (again) slave cylinder, flywheel etc. Several thousand dollars later, transmission started to get difficult to shift, which is a sign it is about to fail in these cars. Sold it as is. Shifting gears always felt like a baseball bat in a barrel of baseballs. Worst drivetrain that I have ever seen in ANY vehicle. Sad. I drove a 1987 Hyundai Pony that shifted better.
very informative video..and at times, entertaining . thank you scott!
The truth is that in 10-15 years Hyundai will be the #1 car maker n the world and my sonata will still be running like a Cadillac
The warranty cant b beat
mark p it’s an old saying and I suspect u know that
they way Honda and Toyota are acting I wouldnt be surprised. Mazda is improving too
The key to keeping any car running is maintenance. No reason not to last as stated by many hundai\ kia owners. Personally I like hundai\ kia cars their warranty leads the pack..
Absolutely. Already Hyundai-Kia is world's 5th largest automaker in the world. Surpassed ford and Honda. In Europe, Hyundai-Kia outsells Toyota and Honda combined. With Hyundai-Kia's legendary 10 year 100,000 warranty, and competition's junk warranty of only 5 years, Hyundai-Kia's destiny can't be stopped.
The truth is that all cars except Toyota Celica '94 - endless money pits, we know
Not really. He recommends lots of other cars.
My 05 Camry I bought with 226k miles ran good. I put 100k on it and about 4 grand into it for maintenance and it's still running to this day for the next owner.
I was an ASE certified mechanic(do IT work now). Had a customer take their PT Cruiser to Wal-Mart to get an oil change. They ended up cross threading the drain plug in the aluminum pan. I have to thank them though because it was slow that day and I needed something to do.
Great info as always - TY, Scotty!
"The more you just push buttons, the dumber you get." Ha! Profoundly sound words of wisdom.
My brother, Charles Roberts, works at the walmart, jonesboro, arkansas, highland drive, in the automotive dept.. You need an oil change done right, ask for him. We've been working on vehicles since we could crawl, literally.
Scotty I am a 37 yr old Black woman who found your channel EXACTLY a year ago when my engine blew white smoke. I almost fixed it MYSELF. I love you and will ALWAYS support you - Signed a FRIEND for Life!
I've seen so many Hyundai-Kias with over 200k with no issues! Those engine recalls and defects are always typically fixed free of charge even if the engine have over 200k on it because they now have a lifetime warranty!!! So they're not bad! They're good cars but that one particular engine they screwed up on and now are paying the price but they don't leave their owners behind paying 5k or so they have finally stepped up and give free replacements left and right even heard a service manager at a Hyundai dealer say he immediately approves engine replacements for free even when the owner neglected engine maintenance because it was going to blow anyway. So despite them making a not so great engine (doesn't speak for every Hyundai engine because most are really good) they still have you covered OUT OF WARRANTY!
Service manager at my local Hyundai dealer said the same thing. I asked him why there were so many used Sonatas in the service area. He explained they were all getting new engines under warranty due to a defect. He said they were replacing them no questions asked. One lady's Sonata had over 200k miles on it and was still getting a new engine. That's some excellent customer service. Can't say my personal experience was too goo though.
palebeachbum try doing that with a Ford Focus with transmission problems. Ford couldn’t care less.
@@steveb.6267 Ive heard that about those Ford dual clutch transmissions and Ford just doing stupid software updates and balking about transmission replacements.
I had a '13 Santa Fe. I really liked the car however there were many recalls while I had it. Then the engine recall came and the dealer assured me the engine was fine. Then at about 80k miles it started burning oil, then by 100k it was burning a lot of oil. Traded it in on a '19 Highlander and I love it.
Just one comment about revving high when shifting, I had the same issue on an old Nissan, over a period of 6 months the car started shifting from 1st->2nd at 2000 rpm, then 2800, 4800, and then one week it wouldn't shift until over 6000 rpm!! and a couple of times wouldn't shift at all. At this point the Overdrive light was flashing during a couple of these instances and I read the code: It turned out to be due to a faulty throttle position sensor, swapped in a new one and it was like I had a new transmission. It's now 2 years later and have had no further issues.
How can Scotty Kilmer create endlessly interesting videos like this? I've never seen nothin like it! Amazing! Awesome! etc.
I have two bad experiences with Walmart’s car service center. 1) I had taken my previous car to them for an oil change. After, when I got home, I wanted to check the oil level. The hood wouldn’t open - the hood release cable was broken. I called and spoke to management, and they agreed to pay for me to take it to a body shop for cable replacement. 2) My mother had her oil changed at Walmart. A few days later, her oil light would come on and off while driving - turned out the filter wasn’t on correctly and was leaking oil. Never again will our family use their services.
Scotty...you are the best & I really enjoy your reports or comments of all kinds of automobile general operation & of course of how you carried it out even when you are talking about improvements you are truly fantastic & for a good reason because the day I will bring my COCHE (auto ) to the repair shop I can know quickly of what the mechanic is talking about & of course of the condition that he supposed to restored in order my COCHE can run superbly & smoothly .
Love the truth Scotty. It never hurts, maybe for a short moment .
I ALWAYS do my own oil changes and brakes as well. So easy to do disks....
As for the phone, HAHA! I'm 59 and I have a cell phone, but I still like to manually dial every once in a while so I WON'T forget!
You make me laugh so much. I just love your pics on the corner of the screen.
Walmart is a not a great place for car advice, that's why Scotty there for!
You are so right about car batteries.
Tons of respect for Scotty's opinions and high regard for his 52 yrs experience as auto mechanic but I've had nothing but good luck with my current Hyun Elantra and the Hyun Accent it teplaced. Consulted Consumer Reports "frequency of repair" data and crossed my fingers. So far so good....👍
@0:55 I had that happen to me once at a Firestone. Fortunately, I was able to catch it in the time before it did any damage. But I went back to Firestone and told them what happened. Of course they did not want to hear anything. From that point forward, I always make sure the cap is on and the plug and filter are on and secured without leaking before I leave. BTW, I never went back to a Firestone ever since.
I was just at walmart last night to buy oil to do my own oil change. A customer walked in and said he was driving down the road right after getting his oil changed, it was smoking and the oil light came on. I didn't hear him say the type of vehicle, but the most recent one in line was a mercedes clk about 15 years old.
My friend's 2013 Kia Soul engine quit just a couple thousand miles before the warranty was up. She got REALLY LUCKY as it was replaced under warranty. It still cost her a good chunk of money to deal with the insurance company and have a loaner car. It took at least 2 months to get her car back, maybe 3.
Scotty is right on about Hyundai, they suck, suck, suck. I ‘ve owned 3. 2011 Accent, at 28k miles had to replace all 4 coil packs, at 80 the motor mount cracked and the transmission went out. 2012 Santa Fe Limited V6, at 100k miles the transmission went and it was out of warrantee. 2014 Sonata Limited, still own this one, babied it from day one, have 64k miles on it, the A/C has gone out, out of warrantee, new compressor $1700.00, had it installed, a week later something else in A/C system went out, this story isn’t over. I just bought a new Toyota Tacoma, I will NEVER but another HYUNDAI.
Wal Mart has really screwed up my tires a couple times. First time stripper out a lug nut on my ‘96 blazer and had to have my husband re threat it, and the second time took it in just for them to fix a leak, they fixed the hole, but the same tire STILL LEAKED, they just didn’t install the valve stem right!!! Needless to say I’m DONE with them!!!
i have a 2004 sebring with the 2.7l, only has 46k. the car was babied by my grandmother but i already get the over revving when changing gears.
Merry Christmas, Scotty!
Scotty, love your show!
Quick question: What's better to buy?
A newer car with high mileage? or an older car with fairly low mileage?
Same happened to my wife’s 2014 Jeep Wrangler. Thought I was saving a few bucks taking it to Walmart for an oil change. They didn’t put the cap on. Drove about a half a mile before engine light went in. Oil was all over the engine. Walmart said it wasn’t there fault until the store manager reviewed the video. They offered to replace whole engine. Seemed like a fair deal (over $10k). Jeep dealership mechanics replaced engine but fuel hoses weren’t on correctly. Engine failed soon after. Dealership now had to replace with a new engine. Electrical problems still occur till today. My recommendation Spend the the extra $100 for the dealership to change oil new vehicle until warranty runs out, then afterwards just do it yourself. Don’t use Walmart for sure.
Scotty I have a question for you, I have a "2009 mazda cx-9 V6" and they told me that those engines suck because the water pump is inside the engine. So what can I do to prevent a water pump failure or is there a way to find out if its failing before it ruins my engine..?????? wish I knew this before i bought this SUV
My mom's Hyundai 2003 XG350 V6 smashed an animal at 80k miles, she kept driving on a leaking transmission cooler. It began running strange. Replaced the transmission cooler, topped the ATF fluid, that car is now at 240k miles performing like a champ. More impressively, even the automatic HVAC, automated seat/mirror memories, stereo, heated seats, etc all still works great. Rock solid.
Haven't seen a Dodge Intrepid/Chrysler Concorde on the road in years. I see plenty of late 90s-early 2000s Toyotas, Hondas, Fords, and GM stuff on the road, but I very rarely see any Chrysler made vehicles on the road that are more than 10-12 years old.
You haven't??????????
I saw a lot.
In the junkyard.
Have you heard that the 2019 Avalon have squeaky brakes from day one. Brakes defective - rotors - on a new car?
Macky Vee its not uncommon for new breaks to squeak during break in period. Mine squeaked for 800 miles & sometimes it sounded really bad. 25k miles later all i hear is angels singing. Smooth
Our daughter bought a new 2013 Elantra and the brakes squeaked, Hyundai replaced them under warranty.
@behexen250 I use to work with ford engineers and test drive 2020 cars and one thing I learned. Ford cuts way too many corners.
behexen250 well since you work for Ford let me ask you a question man. I have a 2014 Mustang GT Premium, garage babied all its life until I got it. The front passenger caliper started to sound creaky while pressing the pedal around 10k miles ago and I’ve had the pads replaced all around and that didn’t do anything. I’ve looked online and can’t find the issue. Do you know what it could be?
@@LukesJukes Did you replace the rotor?
WALMART in Lincolnton NC did the same thing to me. Left the oil cap off. Unreal.
Great video
Scottys right about the Intrepid transmissions. I owned a 1995 and a 2000 before I learned my lesson.
They were nice highway cruisers though.
Hey Scotty 2005 Trail Blazer 4x4 every shift the oil pressure drops is that something to worry about
I swear Scotty, I watch your channel just see those hilarious animal memes laugh along with you, lol!
Esse carro é bem diferente interessante Parabéns aí possa abraço
As always a great video scotty!
I have a 2013 Kia Optima with over 100,000 no problems, had a recall for a minor fix and they Kia did it for free. It rides great and it looks great...many more miles to come, take care of your car and it’ll take care of you, do the maintenance!
Thanks Scotty 😎
Thanks!!!!
Amen on genuine VW / Audi ATF. I always use that.
I had a co-worker with a v8 GMC truck almost lose his engine to sane issue, just it was a dealership not Wal-Mart. They never put the filter on and lost oil. Luckily he caught it before it damaged the engine.
ABSOLUTELY Magnificent Insight
The Wal-Mart at Spring Cypress and 249 in Houston, TX never gave me a problem for over 10 years getting my oil changed there. Can't say the same for Cillis, Christian Brothers, Jiffy Lube or the Sears at Willowbrook.
My 02 Sonata engine blew at like 106k miles. Bought an 08 Accord and its still running strong.
Hey Scotty, I bought a used 2014 Toyota corolla S with 64,000 miles made in Canada comes from Texas. What are your thoughts?
SCOTTY.... you recently did a video that had a car with almost 700,000 miles on it. What vehicle have you seen with the most miles on it (or was that it?)
Thank you for you channel and
you're not allowed to retire 😙
I work in a civil court. Two companies I ALWAYS see with a lemon law case? Kia and Hyundai!
They have a few issues that cause fires. My friend's son ended up in the middle of the desert with his Kia Optima in flames. They tried to deny it until he got a lawyer.
I won't be so sure
My cousin has a sonata for 7 years and she is happy with it.
@@dranzergigs8333 Oh, because you work where I do right? I'm literally telling you I've only seen Kia, Hyundai, and the Ford 6.0 Diesel truck lemon law cases...
When I worked at a Hyundai dealer their slogan was "America's best warranty." We always said it was because they need it.
I've owned a 2014 Kia Forte EX for 3 years now. It has a GDI engine, so it burns oil like crazy. There's also carbon buildup too. It's definitely a lemon since it had issues way before I hit 100,000 miles. It's a endless money pit...
My next car will be a 2013 Toyota Camry SE...😁
My friend worked in the service department at Walmart a few years back. He needed to start somewhere to get into being a mechanic, experience wise.
He tells everyone, do not take it to Walmart. You pay for what you get.
Sad thing is there are people who think these quick lube shops have master mechanics who know everything. Nope. You literally handed your car to a burger flipper who thinks base model fart can Hondas are cool.
Base models aren't good on Honda's?
I have a base model 2019 Civic. Not sure if it is cool. I have 8 vehicles insured and on the road, if they all run, they are cool enough for me.
@@Theaikro as long as it has the stock exhaust, *yes* they're cool lol
Right about Hyundai/Kia back in the day, wrong about them now. People have engine issues because they fail to get basic maintenance.
My brothers hyundai santa fe engine shut off while driving twice. Hyundai knew about it. Did they ever fix that issue?
I remember a Dodge 2.7 in for overheating...fan bad, relay bad, dash fuse out, 2nd relay bad...all that fixed and no signal from ECU so that was replaced and then the fan worked. I do wonder if it was hit by lightning.
What's your opinion of reliability of a 2011 golf tdi? Made in Germany, running around 110k miles, purchased in Houston. What should I worry about it mechanically?
Yes I can
Yes
I used to work for the post office. For a short while we used to have an oil change place change the oil in our vehicles until they forgot to put oil in one of them. The carrier got about a half mile down the road and it quit on him. We went back to doing our own. LOL.
Yep, I know two people that similar things happened to them.
1) Not tightening the oil drain plug. This happened to one person 3 different times. Once it occurred at a dealership.
2) A local service station failed to tighten the lug nuts after rotating the tires.
Happened to my dad at a quick lube place. They didn't tighten the drain plug. Luckily his truck had an oil pressure gauge and he saw it drop. Drove back to the quick lube place and tore them a new one.
Scotty, I have a 1987 Ford Mustang. The actuators for the door locks have failed. The passenger side failed in the down position so I can use the key to lock and unlock the door. On the driver side I guess it failed in the up position because the key won't turn to lock the door. Can I just pull the door panel and push the actuator down to make the key work on the driver side door lock?
Mr. Scotty, you've been a mechanic as long as I've been alive. I've only wrenched on cars for about thirty years. I'd love to have your customer base for my side work, then I can quit my fulltime job and do my side work fulltime!
