Scotty Kilmer hey man ur really cool dude
why did you knock that nice house down???? :(
common sense isn't so common
Scotty's garage and driveway look like they might qualify as a Superfund site - LOL! Luv u, man. Please don't EVER stop making videos!
Would you happen to know a really good mechanic in Houston Texas I have a 2006 mustang that I am having electrical issues with
Scotty has been my mechanic for 10+ years. I recommend ALL my friends to him.
You recommend YOUR FRIENDS TO HIM?
Actually 52+ years.

If I ever set a foot in TX I'll definitely stop by Scotty's house as part of a state attraction tour. What a great guy :)
He lives in florida actually j think
Sorry didnt see the license plate
Its just i saw a key west sticker in one of his vids
He actually lives over here in Houston. He may have been in FL in the past though I don't know .
think he just knocked it down
it would be awesome to have a beer with scotty

Well Harvey seems to be a great honest guy too! My guess is that Harvey is a good friend of Scotty.
I agree with you, haha
Willy bman what????
I found a Mechanic just like the one you talked about. He owns a small shop out in Ditmer Missouri. He fixed my Subaru Legacy for only $300 when Import shops wanted to charge me over $1200 for a camshaft seal. he had no prior experience working on Subarus. I always have respected that man. He was an old dog who liked learning new tricks. He was honest. He also replaced my crankshaft seal. As an A&P and Machinist, he gave me a lot of inspiration. I always want to learn and be passionate about my work. Never be afraid to try new things.
Scottys humor is to die for I can't get enough
Wow, Scotty, congrats on being a successfully TH-camr. It's 2019 and I am watching this 2013 video.

Hardcore DIYER here....YOU SAID IT ALL SCOTTY!! Thanks for being the voice of the people Scotty. YOU ARE A SCREAM!! We need more people today like you on our team. SCOTTY KILMER FOR PRESIDENT
such a random ending I love it
“I was young once but I didn’t know a 10th of what I know now”. Idk why but that statement makes me feel good about being young and kinda dumb as I am now and look forward to getting older and learning more about how the world works
Since i'm motorcycle guy, i know moto mechanics.....the best mechanic in the whole city was 25yo, all the dudes were scratching their heads how did he tune the bikes, he went down to drag racing , he was racing his own bike and beat the time record and kept it for 10years even after his death....the guy was killed at 25 by a grandpa illigaly crossing the road with his car.....
+alexini5
Dam man that sucks. they talented guys always get shitty luck.
+alexini5 Only the good die young. All the evil seems to live forever.
He died because he drove a bike fast, which has only two wheels for braking, and no seat belts, and then the inevitable happened: someone did something unforseen. Shit that is bound to happen. Thats why i dont ride bikes.
@@rustyshackleford932 Iron Maiden referance, I love it
wow. soo i have to travel all the way to texas to get my car fixed...
How you gonna get there if your car is messed and needs repair that’s the hard part
I follow the Zuckerberg method. It consists of following a potential mechanic home after they leave work and then keeping tabs on them for a while before I make any decisions about them. This includes checking their mail, their trash, the people they associate with, where they go, their credit worthiness, and things like that to get a better idea of who they really are.
my best mechanic had terrible credit, did not ck the mail often, was super disorganized and his friends were all trashy, but was always the only one to spot the problem right away. He was the head mechanic for airplanes in the army.
@melodicdreamer72 - Ohhhhh ... You Are SOOOOO Funny!! (Not!)

time to find a good mechanic like me to analyze it in person with his equipment
I already found a GREAT mechanic... Scotty Kilmer!
That One Ford Guy You definitely need one as you got a Ford

Easy P.T. Barnum. Your quackery is quite amusing, until you get into the obvious trolling of German engineering, then it kinda just gets awkward for everyone...*gets in 5.0 with 200hp, chirps tires for half meter, cum in pants, repeat. Aaaalways repeat

"and if you are lucky one like me will pop out of your trunk"
Word of mouth, absolutely spot on. I know a good mechanic from my hometown and he has tons of work. Knowledge and integrity count for a lot.
lol the people that downliked it were the shitty mechanics that just got called out
Question is.., where can i find a funny mechanic.
Jaime Heredia right here
Jaime Heredia i'd pay money to have a texan running around shouting stuff in a high-pitched voice near my house.
Good starting point Scotty.
By stating not to rely on the internet when trying to find a good mechanic; Are you trying to say that you can't believe things on the internet?
As far as certificates go, some people are book smart, and can only take tests well, while others can only turn a wrench well. Stay away from both.
You have others that can take tests because they learned what was in a book [Service/Shop Manuals] and turn a wrench.
Stay away from those who can't learn, and only fix by luck.
I'm gonna thoroughly read my 2016 ct6 car manual in Scotty's voice now
I love the random stuff you do before you get back to us on questions.
Man i wish u lived here in san antonio tx 😪😪😪 Ur one of the best mechanic this world has , we need more mechanics like you
yea, I'm biased towards experience. Nothing beats it, I'm tons better than I was forty years ago. No one appreciates the value of experience these days in the young crowd, that's for sure. they've got a LOT to learn.
Hey Scotty I sub to your channel because I learned a lot from you over this past months. Thanks for taking the time to upload all these videos with a lot of enthusiasm! in each clip.
Scotty, no mechanic can ever replace you. you're the best mechanic out there :)
so you can operate heavy equipment too, wow Scotty you DA man
After many years of frustration, I finally have a mechanic that always know what I'm talking about when I try and describe a problem. After watching this video I thought about all the things you said and realise you're right, Scotty! They're not young but are very knowledgeable and polite to boot. It takes a lot of worry out of the car maintenance side of ownership. Thanks for all the great info Scotty!
you have a good point. the shop i take my car too (when need be) has guys that have worked there for a good 20+ years. they know their stuff.
How to find yourself a good mechanic: call Scotty & wait for him to pop out from your trunk!
right on point about the older mechanics, i went to a walmart shop pimply kid tells me i need a new battery, with all sorts of predictions of doom and gloom, 3 years, and many canadian winters later, battery runs just fine.
This is what everybody wants to know. Finding a trust-worthy and skilled mechanic often comes with big prices. They don't come cheap that is why people settle with some not so good mechanic.
North Perth Car Mechanics & some of the expensive ones that command book price on every little thing miss other obvious stuff or dont do the work right either.
Some have the "Theyre only paying me to fix "X" so im going to ignore busted "Y" & who cares if they have to come back & have all this same crap removed again their cheap.... blah blah blah" type attitude.
depends, it's been proven that on highway speeds, the act of opening the windows creates as much drag as running an Ac compressor, so AC one would make sense on a hot highway. But in a city stop and go, turning the AC off would get better gas mileage as window drag is minimal at slow speeds.
I bring my mechanic a bottle of good whiskey or a Starbucks card or some gift whenever he works on my vehicles. I remember him at Christmas time. I drive Volvos so I need a good mechanic who actually knows how to repair them correctly. Even in California, it isn't easy to find one.
Just buy a good cars. Not Chinese volvo cars))))
Volvo Cars has been owned since 2010 by the Geely Holding Group, a Chinese multinational automotive manufacturing company. Google it, if you have no clue about cars. ;)
You see, now you know better about cars ;)
depends on the noise. If a roaring sound, that's a worn wheel bearing
I'm not trying to be rude... But just because someone is old and has been doing it for a long time doesn't mean they are a better mechanic than someone who has been doing it for less time. Sometimes the old blokes have no clue with the new stuff and struggle to use computers. If I see a mixture of young and old heads, I'd feel more comfortable... the young guys teach the old guys stuff and vice versa... But if you get a shop full of old guys with stubborn heads and think they know everything that can also be a problem.
I don't make housecalls. I spend far too much time fixing em here in downtown houston and answering people's questions on the net
that one joke about the mechanic letting him and his wife stay over while they fixed their car made me crack up
you need a dealer level scan computer to analyze that system. You have a problem, that's why it's flashing. Often is a bad sender on one of the tires, but you need a machine to check that too.
Even though a nice clean shop looks tempting still focus on the people working there. I know a mechanic who specializes in MBs and had all the proper SDS equipment but had a dinky little shop in the back of a unit (just a small sign out front) but he's busy as can be and did quality work at a fair price. There were much fancier shops in the area and of course the dealership and whiles many gullible customers were going there for the expensive coffee they didn't realize that the high running costs of those shops meant expensive repair bills and quality of service wasn't all that. Never judge a book by it's cover.
I agree, I've kind of chopped off my dealings with the local toyota dealer...sold my truck too. Seemed like the last few times I went in, they had different service people, different mechanics, etc. Suddenly finding stuff wrong when I knew damn well there wasn't a problem but mentioned a few issues I had when it was under warranty and they couldn't seem to find those problems until the truck was out of warranty, then suddenly they noticed the $2k front differential growling/howling noise. The notorious leaking water pump well of course they don't want to recall those because it would cost them millions of dollars. Rear axle bearing issues, etc. Oh and the notorious ( not just Toyota) over-price "cabin air filters". Yeah those damn filters don't do shit, but they'll sure as hell charge you $30 for one. I made my own filter that I could pull out and wash and put back in for $20...they tried telling me it needed changed the next oil change, I said umm its reusable and washable. Well we don't offer those, I said no shit you don't because you want to charge people $30 for a damn useless filter that doesn't filter shit...if that filter did anything the inside of my damn truck wouldn't be covered in dust all the time.
I do most of my own work and have for about ten years and learn more every day. I've worked in shops and seen a lot. I'm actually the manage of a Auto parts store (Won't say who) and we can always tell who is the good Mechanics thru our Commercial side of the Store, some are parts changers and order a bunch of parts and hope it fixes it while others order just what they need. We see a lot of things like that.
If I lived in Houston, I'd come to you everytime my truck needed fixing
one of the best channels on you tube, saved me thousands of dollars already
You really knocked that building down?????? RAD!!!!
youtube does not allow that in their comment pages, that's why. Have the battery load tested, places like auto zone do that free, pray it's just a weak battery and not a worn starter.
"how to use your computer to fix your car" is the main one
Scotty helped me with his advise, I passed the smog test on my 1999 Toyota Camry and fixed my no start, no lights with my 2002Nissan Pathfinder so I saved a lot. Thanks a lot Scotty.
Omg I love this guy he has the best videos. My favorite one when at the end if you have any car question I'm gonna answer as soon as I get done recycling my self Lmao then he got in the garbage can hahahaahah dork my kinda guy
yep, that's how I make my videos mainly, so anyone can fix stuff. I have tons of expensive tools I have to use on many modern cars to fix em, but I don't generally make such videos cause the average guy won't spend that kind of money or watch my videos then.
I had a tow bar fitted to my VW Caddy, a couple of young men were doing the job, well, guess what, they pulled apart the entire interior. I was most pissed off to the point that I didn't take it back there to let them fix their mistakes, they broke my trust. I had to refit some of the interior trim as it was not put back properly, and I had to buy a new interior light for $50 because the guts were ripped out of the interior light, as I worked out, what they did was they removed the roof without removing and disconnecting the interior light, which would only have taken a few seconds to do. Some people are just idiots. According to the Volkswagen dealer mechanic who I default to, all they would have needed to do was to remove the interior wall on the right side of the van, and the trim under the drivers door (Australian right hand drive) to feed the cable though to the fuse box, meanwhile on that same side simply plugging the trailer isolation box into the loom, they did not need to pull apart the whole interior, these idiots justified why they pulled apart my van by saying they followed the instructions, what a load of bull.
Christopher O'Reilly I know
Christopher O'Reilly On a vehicle thats not common I think some of these guys like to play around in areas they shouldnt. Who knows what they were looking for.
Dig the shades, and thanks for all the help man. I'll be sure to tune in! Got a brake question for ya.
Lmao scotty funnt. I love this guy
Grade A information and entertainment. Keep it up Scott!
My Dodge dealer is thief. Told my wife he couldn't pass my 2005 Ram for Isp. Said the Rack&pinion steering was leaking. I have a gear box. i spilled little fluid replacing upper line Against my wishes wife bought 2013Crys T&C van. They put the wrong lug nuts on it. We took a trip to NJ. 65-70 MPH 6 lanes traffic Garden State parkway and the wheels come loose. Took it in for exhaust smell when accel'g.(wrap around warranty extra $3k waisted) Van never left a drip on garage floor. they Claimed the CV seal trans was bad/ leaking on exhaust ONLY at high speed???(not covered). "ON the wrong side of the van." exhaust is on Pass side not driverside. They Sprayed trany fluid to look like leak. While spinning at high RPM you'd expect spray on other components?? No flluid on bott of trany housing or anywhere else(not even at the seal). Kept van 4 days claiming to have to put back together? Not one bolt /nut had been turner I've taken a lot of wheels apart some bolts are torq'd There'd be some sign a socket/ wrench had applied- some pressure somewhere/ moved washer.( I found cracked pipe at resonator) This guy has the NY state trooper contract. wonder how bad he's ripping off the tax payers? S&S auto NY.
Yes, you know they are ripping the state(tax-payers). Because there's probably no-one to check the repair bills.
Sounds like you needed a new Flux capacitor., and maybe some turn signal oil.
You live in NY. You expect NOT to get ripped off by a shop? lol
harvey runs cotton brothers, not only a full alignment shop but a full frame shop, they do everything from fiat 500s to full size mack 18 wheeler strip downs.
often just being low on fluid, check that first. If not, you have a pressure leak in the system or a bad emergency brake light switch
Can I just keep you in my pocket?
+Stephen Robinson no,but your girlfriend can.
Scotty Kilmer lol noted. Thanks for your service it's very appreciated.

it's an autel maxidas. 1500 bucks for a top end machine. Cheaper ones like Actron cost 150 bucks, but don't do much
so if I'm in houston, I'll just take my vehicle to this guy.
ANSER scottykilmer@gmail.com. I got his number from a g+ post but i will not tell you
check the right front wheel bearing, and pray it's that and not the bearing inside the transmission on the right side.
so young mechanics like me are pretty screwd
+Ifeco Jahs YES INDEED
No....just don't be afraid to ask a dude like Scotty for help if you need it and always do the best work possible and do not screw your customers over, by lying to them if you do not know something and charging them way to much money. If you do that, you will have more business than you will know what to do with. I guarantee you that Scotty is covered up with work and people are willing to wait to have him work on their cars.
Use your words..
The years will come, and in time, everything will be different. And the young from the past are the experts.

Will a stage 1 clutch kit from, say, Competition Clutch or Clutch Masters, be more durable than a typical OEM one? I would like to add preventative parts to my car, so I am willing to pay a premium for more durable parts.
AtariMaxiToriyama yeah, besides they for extra power
Peter Kapica A clutch kit will give you extra power? How?
I ment it can handle the extra power due to a stronger friction material
Peter Kapica Oh! Yes, I agree! I'm planning on upgrading my headers and exhaust. Anything else I can do for more power?
I really want wider wheels for more traction. (It's easy for me to spin out accidentally in first and even second gear.)
More rubber, retune ecu, stage 1 or stage 2 engine parts
keep up the good work scotty kilmer and i wish u a good health and much better carrer one of the best mechanic i've ever seen good work!

I keenly wish there's a reputable mechanic like you over here in Malaysia but I'll do my best to find one nearly as good as you, if ain't exactly as good. You rock Scotty!
not fair to judge a mechanic buy his age scotty... maybe you should judge him on skill, customer service, professionalism, knowledge, but not age.
+Chris Van Middelkoop I agree in general, but good to keep in mind that age brings knowledge, and situations like these it applies more than.. lets say other situations.
+Three points Veteran Scars
the truth is you could be a 65 year old crap mechanic that has been crap their whole career. i know i have seen them.
+Chris Van Middelkoop most people are happy to see a college age face except when having surgery or when appointed a lawyer
I know of a few young mechanics in their 20's who work on diesel engines...they wouldn't be doing that if they didn't know what they were doing...and I'm not talking about the little diesel engines in your pickup truck, I'm talking about diesels in semi-trucks and larger.
Spoken like a millennial
sure, learn as much as you can as fast as you can and start your own business as quick as you can. Working as a mechanic for others will only make them serious money, not you. Once you work for yourself, it's worth it.
I heard Harvey the alignment guy hit on Scottys wife one time but Scotty forgave him and been friends ever since.
urban legend, harvey's never even met my wife.

Kids in Africa could've eaten that house!
I swear your videos should have 100x more views at the very least. Earned another subscriber today.
It is always good to know and talk to the mechanic (technician) that will be working on your vehicle. I've been to several shops where the owner is a competent mechanic, but sits in the air-conditioned front office and schmoozes with customers all day. The people who are actually doing the work on your car are young kids fresh out of trade school (who are desperate and will work for cheap).
yes, it happened to me and they fucked my car up and took no responsibility. the kid was 18. Now mechanics want to charge me $2,000 for a car worth just that to fix the damage
I resent the first two. I have crap lying all around and hate organizing things. Look inside my garage. But I know how to fix em and don't charge 100 bucks for nothing.
If you frequent an auto parts store, ask one of the old guys who work there if they know a good mechanic. If the guy knows a lot about cars, chances are, he may know of a good mechanic.
That's how i found my mechanic. I had an issue with my car and asked one of the knowledgeable old guys there if he knew anyone good. I was referred to a local master mechanic (if I recall properly) with 40 years under his belt. Fixed my problem for a fair price.
I prefer to DIY, but sometimes you just don't have the experience, tools, or time to do it. And if it isn't under warranty, why go to a stealership??
Great video! Spot on. Especially with your point on "word of mouth." If a mechanic takes care of the customer and the vehicle, the customer is going to go no where other than that mechanic's shop because they know the guy is fair and truthful.
A good mechanic shop is a consistently busy one. This might not apply to all but in my opinion, a bad place may be busy one day, but not the next because people realize that the mechanic is ripping them off or do a bad job, they won't go back.
That's good advice about the "no old guys" warning. I never thought about that, but you're right. All the good shops in East PA have one or two old timers sitting on stools and yukin' it up with big smiles. All the bad shops have young men with bad attitudes with tattoos to match.

I'm no mechanic title, I'm a young adult wanting to be a great car mechanic,, how much or little I know I learned from my father and brother and repaired hundreds of cars and and never had any problems with my customers, , Thanks scotty your videos are very helpful and seen all tis videos to be better every day thanks friend ..
Scotty Kilmer you are a Godsend dude. Your videos have helped me achieve the intermediate stage of auto repair. Thank you!!!
no, that blinks cause the computer has stored a trouble code. So get it scanned for that code first and have it analyzed
Bummer ... I don't live in Texas ! But thanks Scotty. Great advice, straightforward and possibly the best advice ANY car owner will ever get !
he moved to Tennessee I think
My local mechanic has a bunch of junk cars laying around his garage. Most of them are there because he told some of his customers they're better off to junk their car, but they just haven't picked them up yet. They pile up and once a year he'll tell everyone to get rid of them or charge them for it to sit in his lot. He's a great mechanic
bondo fixes the hole easily, but you would have to sand down all the gashes and scratches and repaint that area. do try buffing it out with mild abrasives, but normaly you have to repaint.
Is there a better mechanic to watch than Scotty Boy? I've watched numerous videos of his and he keeps them short and simple for us non-mechanics. Plus he's entertaining as well.
I collect WW II guns that have lower volume ammo clips, it doesn't effect them. They didn't use 30 round clips then.
2021, still looking for a good and honest mechanic.
No offense PJ but there’s no such thing as a honest mechanic
I just found a good one near my house...little shop hidden from main road. Guy said the book calls for 2.6 or so hours to replace the cooling fan assembly on my car and I think he is right cause online the avg shop charged $500 or so for job...he charged just a hour and done for $375. A good honest mechanic is really nice to have.
Hey, Scotty isn't shooting no one down! I started working on cars from my dad when I was 5 back in 1992 on our 67 Gto heck im 25 an im still learning!!! it takes time an considering the crap that is being built today with all computerized stuff !!! I can tell scotty knows his stuff , if u follow his videos u will learn a lot
