Scotty will you caption your other videos? Thanks.
I have a 2004 Chevy impala with a blown head gasket should I fix it myself sense it is so easy or get a fixer up? Thanks
Scotty my brother put straight coolant into his car. I told him it's suposed to be diluted 50/50 with water, it's time to top off and we're wondering what we should do. Wait till it's lower? Top it off with undiluted coolant? Top it off with 50/50? Or change the coolant?... It's a 2000 honda accord so it's on the older side.
Hey scotty, I just bought a 1999 Chevy Malibu with 150k miles on it for $300. Head gasket was replaced in 2013, any other issues I should worry about?
I have a Kawasaki 2001 super Sherpa that was not started it in 4 years so i cleaned out the carburetor and changed out the spark plug but my brother broke a valve head cover screw do you think that is the problem to it not starting? Because everything else is fine.
Scotty- *Dont drive an old Toyota, prone to problems*
Also Scotty- *Drives a 1994 Toyota Celica*
HAHA good point
Michael Bartjen Scotty still a god though
@@dalegribble3684 Yes he is, I learn alot from him
But not daily driver
Yeah but it's Scotty is a professional mechanic 52 years experience that's the difference between us and Him😊😂💪👍
Re: Mechanic
Back in the day, when _Rolls-Royce_ quality was unsurpassed, Henry Royce was often asked for his autograph.
He obliged, but he didn't sign it _Henry Royce, OBE_ (Order of the British Empire) or _Henry Royce, PEng_ (Doctor of Engineering). He signed, _Henry Royce, mechanic._
That was because to him being a mechanic meant he'd achieved something more significant than royal honours or a degree of higher learning.
Richard Short thank you for this history lesson
Very true
@Todd m Everything we have were build by mechanics.. The computer was created by Telephones Mechanics. The airplane. Cars. Fridges.. all. Office people dont want to get their nails dirty ever..
@Todd m You underestimate a real/functional college degree. I went to trade school, I'm a mechanic. I'm currently finishing my bachelor's in nursing, because the money will be WAY better
Scotty: “93? way too old”
Also Scotty: “94? now that’s a good car”
Lol, Scotty can fix it though, the average Joe won't know what to do.
He’s saying because he owned it back then. He’s not just buying a 20+ year old car now
He just had a out of this world experience with his Celica, so even two similar vehicles have a year apart...in age that is, his 'one of a kind' experience will overshadaw everything else. We would probably do the same thing if we were in "his shoes."
He's a mechanic. He can fix it right away.
Well the parts for the Celica are cheap. The crown parts would be hard to find since they're rare cars. Could turn out to be a junker in disguise.
My 1997 Honda Accord is still running perfectly at 149k miles this was the first car I bought as a teenager, I personally think old cars were built to last
Those were one of the good Accords; some of the newer ones are absolutely horrendous.
My 97 Accord coupe is at 298k miles and we’re still running strong💪🏼
Scotty: Buy a Toyota.
Scotty: Don't buy a new Toyota.
Scotty: Don't buy an old Toyota.
bibasik7 I’m getting a Toyota!!!!!
Have a 96 camry v6 still rocking
cvt
Dont buy brand new....
Dont buy a 20 years old car
My guess is scotty saying buy a 5 to 7 years old car with low mileage at a cheap price 😝... just saying
I think he means to buy one that's only a few years old.
Scotty Kilmer "Universal Mechanic" 😎👍🏻
Mechanic Scotty M.D.
You can daily drive a 30 year old vehicle, but it's going to need a lot of new parts if it hasn't had them put in recently. And Scotty is 100% right about any rubber parts, but I'll elaborate further...
Door seals, window seals, steering column bushing, motor mounts, rubber boots on the CV axle & suspension components, trunk seal, etc, etc, etc. Anything rubber will rot over the years no matter how well a vehicle has been maintained. Gotta keep that in mind.
Everything is original bushing and seals on my 92 camry and leaks nothing.
TOYOTA
So if i buy a 90s corolla, have its transmissions and engine rebuilt(replace old parts with new parts), do you think I could use it again like new ?
@@marqueemolina6929 Toyotas are so crazy reliable I highly doubt the engine and transmission need to be rebuilt, let alone touched. I daily drive a 99 chevy malibu - 300 miles a week with 0 problems. The best daily driver is an old car that has already depreciated all of its value.
My 97 accord has all good seals around the trunks and doors, I replace the bushings to polyurethane ones the first time I re did the suspension and have t had an issue in 189k miles.. I’m at 289k now 😅
Just buy a garage kept car
Me: “I just bought a brand new car!”
Scotty: *“Here’s why you shouldn’t have, and why you will go bankrupt.”*
"... unless you lease or sell after 3-5 years when major failure begins to occur." Welcome to 2019.
I bought a new used 2018 Toyota think I'll hang on to it for 15 yrs min. The 2002 Corola still running till insurance runs out :)
He isn't wrong. 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and pay an average of $550-600 over 72 months on a new car. Because "I can afford the monthly payments"
@@ellamone9998 2002 Corolla was built way better than your newer one sad to say. I wish it wasn't true.
Revvvv up your engines!!!!!!
I have an early 90s Accord which I drive often. But I have repaired it for years, do all the maintenance. I do have a backup car in case I have to replace something like a fuel pump, etc. I also use Haynes, Chilton, and Honda repair manuals. I am glad I can fix a lot of things (and still learning), otherwise the repair costs would be huge!
So you can daily drive a 30 year old car, as long as you maintain it and inspect it regularly for needed repairs. Most people probably won't do this, so for them daily driving it could be costly and very troublesome if maintenance (regular) is not done.
Thanks Scotty I am learning so much and feel much more empowered to be involved in my car maintenance thanks to you. Plus you are so much fun!
27 year old car: Don't daily drive this
25 year old car: DO daily drive this
24 year old car: Too new you can't even repair it yourself
Now that's funny.
What a dumb comment.
Sweet. My 26 year old, 93 Honda Prelude is safe. All while I wait for a new distributor to arrive so I can hoon around some more...
Buy one that is in it's mid-life crisis
Hey Scotty,
I drive a 22yo Honda Accord Wagon as my daily driver. It has NEVER failed me, trust it more than any of the newer vehicles I own. Parts are cheap, easy to maintain. They will bury me in it.
😀😀😀😀😀😀
I feel that if a car is taken care of, age won't hurt it....
Just inspect it, and perform frequent preventative maintenance... Also, get one that never sat for long and was driven much...
A friend introduced me to your channel recently. This is the first video I ever watched from you.
welcome!
You have a lot of catching up.
Dennis D'Antonio hahaha
You have a lot of videos to watch!
@@Dennis-eo3bn Cliff notes: Toyota is king. Honda is prince. Never get an automatic. Never buy from a dealership. Find a guy with a $5k fancy scan tool.
I watch a lot of your videos and I have to say you remind me of my dad , he knew a hell of a lot about cars and worked on all of his friends cars and made a lot of money doing it , a very smart man with a 2nd grade education , you do a great job and I'm happy to listen to all you say ... keep it up .
Scotty, you mentioned being a PHD or a mechanic. As a former mechanic myself, you do keep me up to date on the newer stuff so thanks. However on the PhD issue don’t sell yourself short because I’ve never met a doctor who doesn’t LOVE mechanics as they’re the same. Both are troubleshooters at heart and use logic to repair whatever. So smile knowing you are a PhD on vehicles !
You should do a series on every mainstream car brand and tell people the overall reliability/performance of the company. That can narrow down someones options while looking for a car.
Aidan Rohloff 🙋♂️ Yes, I’m here for this!
apparently the good news is car companies aren't run by the mob
You could look on the road when your driving. I told someone who wanted a car if you still see old ones on the road theres a chance there ok cars or just taken care of. Either way.
Scotty you're the best, I love your videos and sense of humor. Keep it up!
I'm going to give you a suitcase wedgie
@@josezaragoza3188 haha
Scotty has a point... last year I bought a ‘92 Accord for a spare/fun car but it does get used as a daily driver. This one had 164k miles when I got it and it’s a manual transmission, those are two things that sold me on the car plus I’d heard good things about the early 90s Accords. But Scotty is right, many of the rubber bushings and boots underneath were rotten/torn, and although I’m mechanically inclined and replaced the stuff myself it still has cost hundreds of dollars to buy the parts. I knew this car would need some TLC when I got it - I got it as a mechanic hobby car too. But would it have been worth it to pay someone else to perform these repairs? Heck no! It’s been a fun car but listen to Scotty and just know what you’re getting into :)
I have a 17 year old Saab 9-3 SE which I have used every day for the past 3 years and it has not had a single fault. A friend of mine has a 24 year old Saab 900 with 350k miles on the clock and it still runs reliably without burning oil.
You are 100% right about OPTIMA Batteries...I had 2 that only lasted 36 months and 5 days...5 days past the warranty!! I have a Auto Zone Battery in my 2000 Mustang GT that has a sticker that say's "08/13 (today is 6/19) ...it starts every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to auto zone thx
Replace it tomorrow. In my experience, one day that battery will instantly DIE without warning. Happened on my 4Runner. The original Toyota battery died after 7 years!
Use the battery until it goes
A quick recap of the life of scotty
- went to Toronto to study (im guessing either ryerson or u of t)
- got offered a gig as a pornstar but said no
- has worked in tv and radio
- is a millionaire
- has a phd
- works as one of the only honest mechanics left on earth and he doesnt do it for the money
Scotty needs a movie asap js
My father had a '49 Chrysler Windsor, fluid drive, flathead straight 6. When I was a wee lad we made many trips to the mountains in that car. Mom drove a '48 Plymouth Club Coupe with 3-on-the-tree. Those cars were heavily built and very reliable... but according to Dad, repairs were expensive. Unfortunately he sold them off in 1966, a couple years before I got my license; I ended up with the hand-me-down '60 Ford Falcon. It is a shame what Chrysler has become.
Scottys videos bring me joy. He has the best attitude and outlook on life.
Oh lordy, my daily driver is 1987 Honda Accord. Runs like a charm and thanks to Bondo it looks great. And it has an Ash tray.
Larry Be, I only drive 7 miles in any one direction... I don’t get thirsty that quickly. All I drink is water anyways. That 87 Accord only has 135k miles on it. Btw... the last time I had anyone work on it. It was the Honda Dealership. They put the wrong oil filter on it and when I told them. They claimed all Honda’s these days take the same filter. I told them, not the old Honda’s. I now do all the work myself. Too many nitwits, crooks and douchebags claiming to be mechanics. Probably true about every profession.
When your buying anything older than 25 years, it could be a challenge to daily drive it even if it's a reliable model. Learned that from buying a 94 Town Car which are known to be great runners but the age really factors in a lot too. I recommend getting any car that old as cheap as possible and have a good amount of money for any repairs to get it roadworthy again. I love my Lincoln at the end of the day even though it has been a pricey 2 years of ownership lol
that new intro... i've rewatched it half a dozen times. nice work!
I have just started to daily my first car to my first job, a '93 Suzuki to a dealership where I'm a rookie tech. So far nothings wrong. Carb cleaned, points set, underbody protected. Hope all will be fine.
Scotty laughs, horse laughs, goat laughs, everyone laughs.
Cat laugh
Alexa laughs
He needs a Hyena next
i AM FREAKING ADDICTED TO SCOTTY VIDEOS! He makes my day!
Don't forget the cat 😸
The world needs more Scotty's.. lol
Keep up the great work🙂
Thank you Scotty for this information
Thanks for the Video. I tried driving a 92 Camaro for a DD....you are so right....it's ok if you don't mind fixing little things, but after a while it just gets old.
Scotty is firing off the videos like he has fired up that new intro...🔥
gotta use it or lose it
Thanks awesome scotty
Nice intro Scotty and as always, a great video. Thank you.
Love the new opening graphic!! Might be worth upgrading the audio too just to match
We love you scotty, You fight for us little guys. Thanks again
I have a 1994 Mitsubishi Delica 2.8 ltr turbo diesel 4x4 super exceed.. Daily drive it as work vehicle only had to replace the alternator and a door handle in the 15yr I've had it .. best vehicle I have ever owned . cost me 10 grand in 2004 grey import with 80.000 ks on clock... now has 180.000 kls
Also a 1999 ford Falcon XR 6 ute 4ltr Tickford donk.. had it 5 yrs cost me 3 grand never spent a cent on it .. I love the old cars ... would not buy a new vehicle
Hey Scotty, I'm daily driving my 1995 Mercedes s320, but I have changed many parts right after I bought it. Tires , brake discs brake pads, shocks, tie rods , throttle body, engine wire harness, spark plugs, battery, new fluid s filters, rubber hoses , engine transmission mounts, alternator voltage regulator, blower motor regulator, and more.
Scotty, I love your skills, your humor, your pictures, your explanations, your commentaries, your honesty...I'll bet you make a good barbecuer too!!😂
Wrong! I daily a 94 Honda Civic hatch drive it 2 hours and 20 mins round trip everyday, not one problem, I’m saving gas money
I got a '93 Integra with 141,000 I pretty much daily driven that thing the past four years. Lately I got a motorcycle though to help. But still I can trust that Acura to go on for another 100,000 miles.
wow. I'd die if I would've to drive more than 2 hours daily :d
Thats what I'm talking about. I want to keep my toyota echo as daily for as long as possible . I mostly do highways
I daily 97 accord 5 speed & it’s running strong 💪

Respect for Dr Scotty!
So many videos, thanks Scotty
🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸 I ABSOLUTELY love your videos and your editing is ABSOLUTELY fantastic and so entertaining 👍👍👍👍 , watching you from north of Toronto 🇨🇦
I had a 94 95 and 97 accord. All went over 200k one 289 when o sold it for 2 grand. Loved those cars. Even the one I drove into 3 feet of water was perfectly fine after a can of starting fluid
I have a 97 now at 200k. I love it and planning on keeping it until the Engine dies.
I had the same years 94,95 & ,97 also still have a 97 with 225miles on it.
That want I'm talking about. I want to keep my toyota echo for as long as possible
The 94 had a turbo on it too
My first car was a stock 94 5 speed accord. I sold it really cheap cuz it needed some work. It only had 133,000 mile. I still kick myself for letting it go
1981 Mercedes 300D. All the important stuff works. Unknown mileage. Unknown maintenance history. Daily driver 60 miles a day for 2 years so far. Paid $650 for it. $40 a month for insurance. $30 a year for the antique tag. 500 miles a tank of off road diesel 😏. I still get compliments on the car. No one has a better deal than this.
A 1981 car is not an antique. 50 years old is the standard for antique designation. 25 for classic. Of course age doesn't really make a car a CLASSIC. Desirability does. Like 60s Mustang's and Camaros, CORVETTES, some cadillacs, etc. No one would ever call a 30, 40 year old pinto or Pontiac Sunbird a classic!!
Antique designation is 25 years in Tennessee.
@@TN-D18 not nearly old enough. Lots of cars attain that age. 50 years is a different story. I have a 61 year old CADILLAC and a 51 year old Mustang, both still on the road, lifelong southern California cars. my parents bought the CADILLAC in 1960 when it was 2 years old. And I bought the 68 mustang in 1977. I guess you have lots of antiques running around in Tennessee. Been thru there couple times, very pretty scenery.
30 years in Florida. The car is 37 year's old.
@@TN-D18 I also have a 94 Trans am, bought new. Still running strong at 337.000 miles. Engine never been touched. Still looks great in and out. She would be pissed if I told her she was an antique! Lol.
.
Scotty, Keep'm coming... Love watching your videos..
Agree 100% on older 20 plus year old cars. Had experience with hondas and acuras from the 90’s. The plastics and rubber used throughout the cars get hard and brittle. Even underdash plastics for things like the a/c controls start to wear and break.
The pictures of the horses when you laugh get me every time 😂
Damn nice intro scotty!
You are a pretty SMART MECHANIC Scotty , the best I've come across and honest which is rare thing these days !!!
I had a 1999 Dodge Intrepid. Engine blew up in 51,000 miles. Had many friends who owned Dodge hemi and magnum trucks. They all rattled apart or dash buttons fell off within 2 years. I purchased a Ford F-250 FX in 2003 just recently sold it with 300,000 miles . There is a reason why most heavy high construction companies use ford as company trucks.
Buy a Toyota and marry a mechanic. All bases covered!
Zaptor, totally. I've got my Toyota, just need to find me the perfect machanic, er I mean man! aha

Scotty make a video explaining what differential fluid is and how often it should be changed!
good idea, thanks!
Love your videos!!!👍
You're the best Scotty! Another great video.
When I buy a battery for any of my vehicles I buy Interstate batteries.👍🏻🇺🇸
Had an Interstate that wen eight years, the longest I've gotten out of one.
Scotty, you need to realize that for some people, a 27 yr old car is within their budget where as newer cars may not be affordable.
Still driving my Yoda...it's a 1988 fx bought in 2005 when gas was almost 4 bucks a gallon...also bought a family van the same year they quit making and still driving today Mercury villager estate 2000 due to having two babies so we needed a putter around w/o kids car, and a bus for kids. It's all about taking care of them and having a great mechanic and learning how to fix little things yourself. Thank you so much for all you teach and love the humor pictures. Who does those for you again? Anyone know? Genius idea.
I love your videos and I learn a lot from you!!!!!!!! Don’t ever quit!!!!! Your the Superman of car knowledge!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most reliable Truck is a Honda Celica.
LMAO!
1994 in specific
Just not an old one
Toyota civic actually
My 1990 Acura Fusion still runs like a clock. X3
I bought a 1999 Dodge Intrepid and that was the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’ll never buy another dodge product. I wanted to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but after Consumer Report rated it below average reliability I bought a Toyota 4Runner instead. Best decision I ever made.
You should have done research before you bought that intrepid. Dummy .
I wanted a Jeep Wrangled so bad, until I listened to Scotty. Now I'll probably get a Rav4.
I loved my intrepid as long as u had the 3.2 or 3.5
Keep keeping 'em honest Scotty! Great information.
Love your videos
Yup. on that Optima Battery I had one from 2004, went to 15 years, passed load crank test and charge. Got a newer one 2014. didn't go past 2018. But I did pay more for it,, haa. kkk
Scotty, here’s one to cover . When do you stop putting money into an old car? What is expense to value ratio
Depends how much you like the stupid thing...
Good question! I base MY decision to quit spending $$ on a car when the a/c quits, or the transmission begins to act up, or it has electrical gremlins that leave me stranded, or the paint looks crappy, or finally I've overheated the engine.
Lately I've noticed as cars have gotten bigger and heavier, older sedans bumper heights & crash zones appear to be much lower than newer cars. If one were to t-bone you, the crash might be deadly. Bigger, taller, heavier car wins every time!
Old as in daily driver or old as in classic? For daily depends on your life situation. Can you afford another used car or fix ur problem. Is it problem after problem? If yes then get a different car. For classic depends how much you love and want to keep it or sell it for profit.
@@wolfy1 .. Lol. You've definitely been watching Scotty for a while. 👍 🇬🇧
A few things to consider: 1) How much are you putting into the car annually vs the cost to buy another? How would the monthly cost of the cheapest new(er) car that would make you as or more happy than your current one compare to what you're paying monthly now? 2) If you're putting way more $$ into the car than it's worth, how much will the insurance pay out if you crash it? Consider if you put $5000 into an old car car because you love it but doing so only realistically increased its value from $1000 to $2000, what if someone crashes into you and your insurance only gives you $2000. 3) If you drive it on freeways or the highway is it so old that you're really risking your life in an accident? 4) Are you replacing parts that take 7, 10, more years to wear out greatly extending the life of your car, or are you constantly replacing the same parts because of flawed designs?
My 98 Mazda 323F had the upper coolant hose burst.
Apart from that it's been a very solid car, doesn't leak any fluids, did leak a lil bit of oil but that was fixed with a new valve cover gasket that cost me 13€.
I like that you share the good and the bad.
This is where I disagree with Scotty. I bought a (then) 20 year old LS400 with 287,000 miles on it.l back in March 2011. It's been my daily driver since then. 8 years and 77,000 miles later I still drive it daily. Ive done about a half dozen road trips in it too (L.A. to Las Vegas and back). 364,000 miles and going strong. I turn my own wrenches, that's the secret. Timing belt water pump was the "biggest job" so far. Parts are cheap and easy to find. Still passes CA emissions every 2 years. I'm keeping it until one of us dies.
I want to do the same with my 2002 echo . Good idea ?
Thats what I'm talking about. I want to keep my toyota echo as daily for as long as possible . I mostly do highways
I daily my 1966 mustang and the only thing that’s gone wrong so far is my fuel pump
Nice vid Scotty!

Look into re-torquing the head bolts on the engine to factory specs, to reduce the risk of a head gasket failure.

Hey Scotty did you hear the news today about a carjacker on s Kirkwood and Bissonnet ? The guy stole the car but didn’t know how to drive manual so he didn’t make it far. SAVE THE MANUALS!

I've been dalying my 05 Range Rover and other than 11MPG it's always been reliable, everything that has broken it has gave me a sign and I've fixed it before it has left me stranded.
That’s funny
I love how Scotty brings out the humor in everybody!!
Scotty I am with ya 100 percent. I appreciate your honest, forthright and humorous manner. I note though what I take as "snippy" comments that border on criticizing your style and content. No doubt from pretty boy, know it all young people. You know the crowd driving the shitboxes you rightly criticize. Today's young I find don't respect much, including experience.
I don't think it was the device that kept the mice away. I'm pretty sure it was that cat behind scotty. Lol
Youre probably right, Cats love chillen under cars!
I still have my 91 Celica
Start right up
Scott. You are an awesome technician. And a okay mechanic.
