So basically, the rich have it easier because they have more room to maintain their vehicles and engine swap em.
Scotty Kilmer hahaha common sense. I like that.
You’re putting too much blame on the employees. This company pays dirt, treats you like dirt, benefits are a joke but you’ll only get 39 1/2 hours a week... that way you don’t qualify for benefits. Most of their employees have to supplement their income with a second job or welfare/food stamps. Now they’re always at work, not raising their kids, and being miserable. And the country spirals further into darkness.
Scotty I am going to get a Shelby 1964 replica and I was wondering if that would be a good idea, it's going to be my first car I've saved up for a while and should I get it or another car
I let them install windshield wipers. Micheline makes good ones.
Sam Walton said "I will always take care of my employees first, because when my employees are happy they will take care of my customers. " Since Sam's death Walmart has forgotten that.
Because low prices is what everyone wanted. Even at the cost of good service.
@Snake Plissken To quote Scotty, "You pay peanuts, you get monkeys." Working there is a prison sentence. A person has minimum dignity, treated badly by management and then by rude customers.
Now they intentionally underpay employees so they qualify for welfare benefits/medical coverage. So instead of Walmart paying fairly for that, us taxpayers cover those costs.
I haven't shopped at Walmart for almost 20 years because I boycott them because of that.
Yes they have. The waltons have raked in such a fortune, im not even sure it makes a difference to them if they increase pay for their employees or not.
@Snake Plissken the problem is since the 70's minimum wage has not risen to account for inflation whatsoever, walmart intentionally pays their employees pennies to screw the gov't over so they can get tax breaks and gov't subsidies so that they don't have to offer actual benefits.
Pay the bare minimum and you get employees who do the bare minimum. That’s basically Walmart’s entire business model.
Plus, avoid at all cost having your employees unionize! Even if you have to shut the store to do it. (They've done that.)
They don't pay bare minimum and are in fact raising their wages every year. They have been for several years now. Their plan is to be at $15 minimum within a few years.
Yep they quit paying minimum wage a couple years ago. I worked at the corporate office for five years and it was pretty good. Im not sure about working in the stores. Im sure it depends how the managers are at each store.
Toyota dealerships here (north US) pay technicians 13/hr.
Actually they pay $11 walking in off the street and knowing nothing. They only hire part time so they don't have to pay for benefits. And they promote based on incompetence, a form of job security for middle management, so they don't need to worry about an underling taking their job🤷♀️
I currently work at Walmart as an automotive technician and I can say with the upmost confidence that everything he said in this video is true lmao
how much do you guys get paid?
@@infamouz111 we just got a lil bump up to $15 in Cali
Some store got 15.00 hour
sadddd
Should I buy tires from Walmart tho
A Walmart employee once said to me “I don’t get paid enough to care about your car.” Last pair of tires I ever bought there.
I respect that employees honesty i know it probly make you mad to hear that at first but you probly appreciate it now
At least he was honest
I tell people all the time that same thing.
I used to work there. Employees don't see a dime for doing a good job. There is no point for working fast and efficient. You just work enough to stay invisible and keep all the managers off your back. There's a lot of them.
Sadly that the truth. I work for Walmart but as a overnight stocker. They expect too much for so little pay. I only do enough at my own speed and not trying to carry the whole team.
Yea I worked as TLE tech. Half the cars we got were shitty run down.. came in with issues then we get blamed for it. Plus when we get bitched at it’s hard to wanna work clean n good
Usually one store manager, one assistant manager and four support managers ! 📡🗣👇😁👍🇺🇸
I agree, I used to work there too
Ken Marks s
"You pay peanuts, you get monkeys."
Great quote.
The side note to SKs remarks are in many 🇺🇸 places employers or firms hold wages-rates down then expect workers to get 20-30 hr of OT, extra. They get sick 🤒 or stressed 🥴 then do bad work. The customer or client then suffers.
You pay peanuts, you get elephants
@@Fit_soldier You pay peanuts, you get squirrels.
I like peanuts lmao!
More like bananas...
Don’t take your vehicles to Jiffy Lube or Firestone either.
Or Valvoline. When I got an oil change they didn't rotate my tires so now I need new ones.
Last time I took a car to jiffy lube they didn't put in the oil. Went down the road and fried my engine. Called the manager he said it would've locked up immediately. This was prior to the internet in 1985. I've done all my oil changes since.
I go to Hoffman’s jiffy lube, $25 oil change w coupon and a great quality car wash included , they did try to upsell me on a synthetic oil change but when I asked if it included a long life filter they said no, I asked if the filter would break down before the next scheduled oil change, they never asked me again
Police cam
howard weitzell At valvoline you can watch them from the inside of your car do what they are supposed to
I don't even car about cars, but enjoy listening to him talk..
I thought I was the only one! Lol
You forgot the letter E in 'care'
I love his 'crazy old guy' style!
I worked for Walmart over 20 years and everything you're saying is 💯 facts!!! Never get your car serviced there period!!!
Ray Williams how did you survive 20 years there
I feel 4 ya, musta been horrible.
20 years? I can barely last an hour there lol.
Ray Williams was Walmart different when you started?
Been working there for 14 years now. Place been going to hell since about 10 years ago. Working on getting another job. And everything Scotty says is true for the most part. There are hard workers there, not many though.
I got an air freshener from Wal Mart, then my car ran like crap. I threw the freshener away and all was good again 👍
Hee Haw!
valenius the kat ran like crap or smelled like crap?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🙄
😂😂😂😂😂😎
those wall mat everstart batteries are great.....not.....just put an N in front. Neverstart.
Me: Always busy has no time to do anything
Also me: spends 3 hours watching Scotty
I worked there for a year and a half. It’s not guaranteed to be a bad experience. I cared and tried my best every day. I got people in and out quick. But some of my coworkers were less than professional. I eventually just walked out one day and never came back. They’d blame me for things I didn’t do and make me go into the store and stock stuff. They had good benefits and good vacation time but overall not the best place to work. They really will hire a dead person as long as they’re still warm. And now they don’t drain the oil out, they just use a tube and suck it out, leaving a bunch of gunk in the bottom of the oil pan.
I change my own oil. No one touches my lady but me!
Same! Dealer is the only other place I trust. I've used "quick lube" places and 1. they use sketchy oil, 2. Charge $70 for synthetic, and 3. WAY over-torque the plug.
I don’t get why anyone pays to get their oil changed. You need only the most basic tools (most have these), and it takes 20-30 minutes tops. It’s the most basic car maintenance you can do, only second to filling the car up with fuel
@@KevAlberta my stepdaughter is getting her license soon, and while I don't expect her to be a mechanic, I'm currently teaching her to do basic maintenance. Check fluids, change oil etc. If she wants to learn brakes I'll teach her. Basic checks and maintenance will keep her outta the shop most of the time. And save her money as well
@@KevAlberta And ramps make it so easy to access! $50 for those Rhino Ramps will get any type of car way up, no worrying about jacks/stands. And probably last a lifetime the way mine are going.
@@fat1234568 ye but u cant change tires on those, and if the car is not level all the oil wont come out the pan, many downsides, might as well just get jack and stands
I went to walmart to get an oil change years ago when I had no tools of my own. got home and the drain bolt was loose and leaking oil. Since then I started buying tools and working on my own cars.
Better than stripped! Those guys are morons there
@@WCGwkf Wal-Mart did strip mine once!
My mother in law recently went there for an oil change and they told her they weren’t able to do the oil change because they couldn’t get the drain plug loose. 🤦🏽♂️ I ended up doing her oil change.
I've heard that complain from literally many oil change shops.
It's a Walmart scam they will damage your drain plug an say you will need to replace it had it happened to me
I started off there and went to goodyear. The walmarts I worked at(I went from one to another after i moved) were nearly 2 completely different stores. The key difference was the manager at one used to own a local and well respected mechanics shop before he retired. He took the walmart job as a retirement job for the 10 percent discount, a little bonus cash, and something to occupy his time. He was strict about guidelines and procedures and is probably the reason I enjoyed that store honestly. He kept order and made sure things were fair and done right, but if we weren't busy he was always really chill and taught me a fair amount about vehicles. Scotty kinda reminds me of him a fair deal.
That's fair when everyone is working towards the same goals. And boss doesn't pick favorites and punish others.
Why can't all auto mechanics be more like you Scotty !!!! Brains , friendly , common sense , and very funny , no wonder this special edition kind of guy is rich !! Thanks for all your videos Scotty, and thankyou for taking the time to teach all of us a little something about our vehicles !!
I take my truck to Walmart all the time. But it stays in the parking lot
The only truck I take to Walmart store is the walmart tractor.
Lol funny
Same here.
“Ya pay peanuts, ya get monkeys” 😂 never heard that one before! That’s awesome.
True.
Its a much more common saying in the UK than it is in the USA.
Yet they now get $15/hour at McDonald’s and still never get the order right... would paying them $20/hr get me the meal I paid for? The prices just went up also!
slicaltimistical1 thank you Obama🤣😳
Unbelievable but true
Canaan Winthrop y. Of course
The price is gonna go up
Who else is going to pay for the higher wage?
How about this idea no such thing as a minimum wage
A company should be able to pay people five cents per hour if they’re willing to work for it
10 1520 $25 per hour doesn’t change a thing
I guess it depends on the specific store, I know my guys and they never do me wrong.
True
If you know people that work there, chances are they will take good care of you and your car.
I have taken my vehicle to the Walmart Auto Center many times and never had any issues with their work.
I brought my Civic SI to wal mart and when I picked it up it was an LX.
I worked at one where we'd see people in the act of shop lifting and no one cared to stop them. For $9.50 an hour I'm not gonna find out whether or not the person has a gun on them
That's how they train us. Oh, I forgot, we're supposed to practice something called 'aggressive hospitality.' Whatever that means
i love this comment
@@MowerModdin lol we only got one security guy and the rest of the people dont care if customers steal
insurance pays for the theft!
Lowes is the same way, they just let customers walk out with anything... I worked for them for six years, then moved on to something else. Part of their problem is the lack of cameras in some of the critical areas they never thought of, and the fact that they mainly focus on shrinkage from the high volume stores.
Walmart parking lots include free dents and damage too!
Here,they also offer broken windows and the occasional bullet hole?
@@DrOlds7298 Ever walk out and your car is not there at all?
@Joe Casson Maybe it's just where I live, but the Walmart here has a lot more sketchy people. The Target in the same area rarely has people like that, definitely not in large amounts like our walmart.
@@ixionn563 Lol !
Sorry you live in a ghetto area brother
Thanks for the videos Scotty. When I was a young man I got trained up by a great Mechanic called Mike Yarham, you remind me of him. Didn't stay in the automotive industry but still enjoy working on bikes and cars when I can. Keep uploading, enjoy your content dude. Love from the UK.
That 4 hour thing is why I've started doing my own oil changes. Happened all the time at my local Walmart
The last time I had an oil change at Walmart took around 4 hours. It just defeats the purpose of the word "Express". I go there to buy the oil at a decent price and do it myself. Save time and money.
I hate shopping at Walmart. It's crowded and there's long lines at the checkout area. There's always people in there that are standing around & taking up space so you can't move your cart around.
Kohls is the worst. Aisles are narrow. Everything is crammed in the back of the store.
Shopping at Walmart is like shopping on the set of The Walking Dead, with half of the zombies in motorized wheelchairs.
@Yar Nunya THIS.
@@rabbitruck I'm going to Walmart tomorrow, wish me luck!
@@brianjones4245 You'll be good, you're probably faster than the creatures roaming the store
You are killing it with these *People Of Walmart* pics!
Damnnnnnn Goti
Wal-Martians
sammolloy1 😂😂😂😂😂
yes they all need Keto diet educational training
Word Unheard , Unbelievable how people will leave the house. The pajama slobs kill me . You don’t look young and trendy , you appear lazy.
2:50 - Sam Walton's family has billions now, I would bet you no matter how hard you work as a technician at Walmart - you won't achieve jack.
What a terrible defeatist mindset. Over eighty percent of millionaires today are self-made 1st generations.
Im a Walmart Automotive technician and I can say that what he says about the Automotive department is near 100 percent. I hear lots of stories of other Walmarts that people will take hours just to do simple oil changes and their bay times (average times spent on cars) reach over an hour for the oil changes. I feel lucky that my store is one of the few (if not some) that actually give a damn about the cars and customers, at least majority of the department does. I have good coworkers, teachers, and leaders at my work. Its thanks to them that I feel like not every Walmart is as bad as Scott's examples.
100%
I had a friend that worked there during school. If the cars got backed up some just got the filter cleaned with a rag and Not changed. Was told to do so.
Manger likes making money and tries to keep a tidy workplace to not take sht and workers fear losing their job because of it...
That doesn't make them skilled technicians or valued employees.
I think you got your feelings in the way for your friends and Coworkers you hang with after school cause you just tried explaining how walmart cares 🤣
In the training they teach you to ignore the customer and get back to work. They teach you to not care 🤭
I worked there for a while myself, I know.
No stranger to walmarts attitude on stuff.
Screw the customer, make that money, sell that fantasy land dream elsewhere.
Your obviously still young by the way you talk with the teachers stuff.
You mean old Dan who still makes peanuts? He ain't a professor...he's a min wage monkey as described to you by scotty.
Everyone wants to be in their feelings today and tell you how they get hugs and kisses themselves, maybe the regime ain't all horrible. 😆
It can be pretty warm under the wing of a dragon 😉
I worked at Walmart and you doing cars take a while and people complained "ive been here 4hrs". It took 4hrs because 12 people were ahead of you. Yeah, Walmart is frustrating but customers are just as childish when they treat a car shop like a fast food service
I had my oil changed at Walmart, I always did it myself, didn’t have time let them do it, didn’t know till next oil change that they had stripped the oil plug. Then there was no way to prove it because I couldn’t find the receipt. So now I have a $600 repair job thanks to Walmart.
I took my van to Walmart for an oil change, and as I drove it out the engine was making a noise as it had a coin or screw inside. That was it for me.
GilsTestChannel $600 repair job?? A new oil plug is like $10
Alfie ,Tried different three different oil plugs, all had the same problem,They didn’t work or they were about to crack the pan., the whole pan needs to be replaced.That’s a $600 job
GilsTestChannel dang 😔 id start a case and make them pay for the damage
Number 1 requirement to work at Walmart is a pulse
JAG I don’t even think they require that anymore.
Walmart rejected me
Been a 2 different Walmarts and they left the oil plug loose two different times. I do my own work. Thanks for the advice
2:33 that’s a dab pen Scotty 😂
That’s what i was thinking 😂😂
The only time I got customer service at Walmart was when I stole a TV and ran for the door
ron sylvia 😭😭😭
Did you get away with it?
@@millerkiller6496 no , turns out the 3 employees you can never find in the store is guarding the exit door 😉😉
😂😂😂😂
@@nightfangs2910 lmfaoo that was so funny
Nothing like getting a kayak, milk, sweat pants, and an oil change at once. Convenient doesn’t mean quality
hahaha exactly.
I guess you have never been to a MENARDS. YOU CAN GET LUNCH, CLOTHES, MILK, FENCE POSTS AND LUMBER CUT AT THE SAME TIME, TOO>
@@georgestone1485 Menards is the same as Walmart. Treat their employees like disposable diapers. Just like Scotty says, the "buddy" system is alive a well there. Lazy, juvenille, employees. Not all, but alot are. Management is the worst I have ever witnessed. One big Junior HIgh!!
I presume that the the Walmart auto centers are meant to appeal to "busy moms" who know nothing about cars, aren't willing to learn about cars, and want to get everything done at one place because she can't make multiple stops because of her screaming kids. I'm describing my sister here.
@@georgestone1485 I'm a chick, but my understanding is that guys hate shopping. I presume Menards sells milk, toilet paper, and other such things so that when when the man's nagging wife tells him to get milk on the way home, he doesn't need to make an extra stop.
i work at Walmart auto care and go to school to be a automotive technician and yeah they do some thing wrong but but I’ve worked for dealerships that do mess up things to like Walmart too
I learned my lesson a long time ago. Never ever let Walmart touch your car!
Jiffy Lube too! They will strip your oil pan drain plug while you wait. They never heard of a torque wrench.
I’ve seen plenty of Mercedes, Porsche, and bmw drivers pulling up at Walmart for an oil change 🤣🤣 bunch of cheapskates.
You get a luxury car, you should get luxury service
Isn't that hilarious?
Most of them are broke; people with wealth are probably drive a Corolla.
PDB Long 🤣😭some of the wealthiest people are on social media, and when you meet them in real life, they are super broke, but all their instagram post is richer than the next door neighbor.
Lots of rich people I know are cheap look at scotty wealth is created by saving not spending
Great tip about the obd memory saver. That should've been a video on it's own
It is! Old one.
Scotty: "There's nothing wrong with doing that"
*shows photo of Elon Musk smoking pot*
Savage
Elon didn't inhale, he just puffed once or twice.
me and scotty used to get blazed af in high school
Nothing wrong with that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for making this video. I am so glad my guys are actual ASE certified I took them from dealerships and the Military they do a great job and go above and beyond letting the customers know everything about their cars. I feel sorry for those guys that are making 11 an hour. I guess we do such a great job my guys make 15 starting off as the dealer starts them off at 12 an hour. I just sent this to all my guys to show them how customer feel about Walmart’s customer service. I’m doing the same thing Sam Walton taking care of my employees and my customers. Thank you again!!!
I do oil and tires for Walmart. Personally I try do a good job on peoples cars and never have complaints but I do work with some pretty lazy people who do get complaints. But people who complain about a long wait when there’s like 8-10 cars ahead of them are clowns
I've never had a problem at our Walmart Auto Center in California with the parts they offer batteries etc.... I also have my oil and filter changed never an issue always full to the full mark and filter is tight. I get there at 630am they open at 7am never a wait time in and out about 30 min to 45 minutes that's the key be early never run late always show up. My ex boss used to say. I don t care how good you are! If your not here or late your not any good to me !!!!!!!
Kade Norman I have no clue where he got all these hours from for an oil change. I did at least 6-7 cars with just myself and the lower bay tech in under an hour
I had my car in for an oil change one car behind the one pull up at the bay door. There were 2 cars in the bays already, so i was 4th in line. I went there at 330pm, and she was hesitant but said she thought the oil could be change before the automotive center closed. Wow, they close at 8pm here.
I go to Walmart to get abortions.
Many years ago, I got home from an oil change and was missing an oil cap. They bought me a new one. Around a year after that, my drain plug was stripped out and had nearly drained all of my oil by the time i got home lol. They had to get a wrecker to tow it and ultimately Retap the threads and put a larger plug in. That was my last time in the auto dept
4 hours for an oil change? 🤔
Clearly, they had to drill for the oil, then refine it, then put it in. This stuff takes time people. 😉
No, no, it just takes 6 spin cycles on the old washing machine to clean up the used oil from the last change they did! They're green don't you know?
David E fax
😹😹💀
👍👌😂😂
SuperTech literally IS recycled crap.
I used to work at a walmart TLE and everything you said is 100% facts
I changed the battery on my Prado several times and all I needed - just setting the dashboard clock. One of the best trucks ever made!!!
Went to Wal-Mart for an oil change & they used Canola oil instead
Wow, you had a better experience than I did!
😂
True story. In the seventies, I worked for a lawn mower dealer, and a lady brought her almost new mower back to us for repair because she couldn't start it. The engine was froze up. She said she had just changed the oil, and it was clean and new, but smelled odd to us. We asked her what brand of oil she had used, and she replied "The manual said to use a quality oil, so I used Crisco oil". The good news, the pan was pulled from the engine, the upper bearing lubricated with a light oil, and the mechanic was able to break the crankshaft free. She was lucky, and she reminded us every year after that how thankful she was.
Lolololol
And if they did put Canola Oil in my Car They just Bought My Car this is Stupid People
“..if you pay peanuts, you get Monkeys” lol 😂 😆 that’s so good, I had to write it down for future use!🤣
Dang girl calm down its like a 40 year old joke.
Its still a good analogy!
Solid. Gold. I'm gonna remember that one, too, though I don't think I'll ever be able to deliver the line with Scotty's style!
Me 2 😂😂😂😂
sounds like a t-shirt
I’m not a car guy, but I like watching your videos. They are fun, entertaining, and full of good information. Like how you give good examples, shows you know exactly what your talking about. Thank you for making videos. Keep them coming.
Sacramento Walmart Tech Andre. Best I've ever seen from oil to tires General checkup before I left town. Plenty of good advice as well. Saddened when I heard he left? So happy he is now with Tesla! They got a good honest man.
This is why we've lots of car problems in Nigeria. I wish we have a Scotty Kilmer here
Kezi Idodo , Hello Nigeria, served overseas with a Mathew Ifidiagwo ( not sure of that spelling)? Good man . Not a phone scammer type .
“Mechanic” who has a vise-grip plier and a hammer, no other tools?
Become the Scotty Kilmer of Nigeria my earthlink.
Your prince still owes the old lady down the street $1M
I almost got into a fight with one of Walmart’s “techs” for the most horrendous customer service I have ever received in my entire life.
One Clunky GMT800 he signed my consent to satisfied service behind my back even though it was everything but satisfactory and thought he was completely in the right for doing it. Just a rude, unhappy man. Things escalated and the store manager stood there watching the whole thing and said nothing. She inadvertently endorsed his behavior. Goes without saying I’ll never go there again.
@@alotafhindi7485 I had a worse experience I took my 2005 dodge ram to them for a oil change they changed it took 3 hours got half way home and tried to use my windshield wash and it wouldn't spray got home and the Walmart worker had unhooked the line so I lost all the fluid I called and the dude said not my problem you should have checked before you left
One Clunky GMT800 they have u digitally sign a piece of paper showing all the work they did was wat they were supposed to do and that ur satisfied with it. Just like any other service rendered from any other business. An employee shouldn’t sign it for u.
John S wat was the point of unhooking it? Don’t they just check the reservoir n refill it?
@@alotafhindi7485 He went to get an oil change. The employee must have accidentally knocked the line loose while changing the oil and not ever bother putting it back.
Mi-mi-mi you certainly are impressive on your knowledge of vehicles, I have learned how to check a few things and got the engine service light to turn off.
If only all mechanics were like you
Thanks Scotty! I know how to do oil changes, but I don’t really have a level area around my yard to work on it. I’d rather spend twice the maintenance fee, than have it it done incorrectly.
I haven't shopped at Walmart for 9 years and I will never step foot in that dump of a store.
Do you think people who work there are cheapskates?
Michael Trinidad good for you 👍🏼
Shop online it’s better than going inside the store
I drove by a Walmart auto center and my engine blew.
Never again
I just drove by a walmart auto center left with no car :/
OK Scotty. I found you just a couple weeks ago, only because I'm shopping for a used car
I cannot STOP watching your videos! OMG! I smoke a bowl and watch you and quarantine just doesn't feel so bad. And you are CUTE! Hilarious. I love you. Keep up the good work
used to work at walmart and can say with the up most confidence this man is right. one had my manager that knew nothing about cars get sent to automotive to help change oils and etc. she came back laughing and telling me about how she didn’t know what she was doing at all and was blaming it on higher ups that sent her to do it and she is honestly right.
I bought my last set of tires for my car at Walmart. They were cheap and are starting to show their age, but I bought them 7 years ago. I bought a battery for the same car at Walmart after the original wore out and got over 10 years out of it. Happy with my Walmart car experiences.
Minimum wage = Minimum effort. You get what you pay for. LOL
@Johnny Lariat That is why you get good grades, and go to university. Then, study something, like computer science and engineering. Then, you can find a job that pays $100,000+ per year.
Ace1000ks1975 they don’t pay minimum wage, they pay $10 or higher I believe.
@@Jonathan-du8fs $10/hour isn't anything, you can't make a living with that. If you want to have a life, you need to make about $25 to $75/hour.
Ace1000ks1975 I didn’t say people could live off of it?
Walmart is not minimum wage. I know people who have made a decent living just working there way from the top.
I have seen Wal-Mart technicians come into the store from the garage with an old Oil Filter, walk up to the shelf and start pulling filters out of the boxes, trying to match the old one, so that they could attach it to the car. Also broke the windshield wiper fluid tank on my car when they changed the battery.
Agreed. Two stripped oil drain plugs/bolts as my testimony. Had to have my oil pan retapped each time. When confronting Wal Mart, of course they said "no way we did that" sure. you were the only place doing my oil changes. Never returned.
Stripped plugs - very common.
I heard a horror story of somebody bringing their Dodge Viper to a Walmart to do an oil change. Well the dimwit who did it, didn't put the oil drain plug back in and roached the 50k or more motor. Needless to say the worker got fired. But the Viper owner needs a slap in the face reality check for bringing his expensive sports car to a Walmart. lol
+atranfanatic I made a "surprised Pikachu face" after I read the price tag.
@@Agent1W Yeah it also cost Walmart a pretty penny. lol
What's really funny is when they bring an expensive car to us at Walmart, then want the cheapest tires we have in stock, put on it.
@@dannyo6699 lol too funny man.
My brain can't even process this. You don't take a masterpiece to get restored at a finger painting class.
Just a shout out! Thank you my brother for all you do.
I was a co manager at Wal-Mart for 10 years and they make us read sam Walton book and the man was a hustler and a genius and yes if he saw where his company is now he would be embarrassed.
I’m from and live in Bentonville,AR the headquarters of Walmart and you’re right, it’s not the same company that Sam had. I agree they have to get with the times, but the philosophy and soul of the company shouldn’t change but it has.
Austin Epperson , Remember when they would pride themselves with American made products. Nothing is American anymore . Walmart is for trashy types . Sorry I offended a lot of people who shop there. But seriously if you accept crappy to save a buck , you’re dollar buys you crap 💩.
@@michaelhaulotte689 most of the customers are douchebag poor people too which usually can't accept a listed price tag for an item. One in every 10 customers I check out are like, "I saw this item for $5 cheaper and blah blah blah you must change it.". If these people didn't shop there either, I'm sure that the cashiers would be a little bit more prideful about getting more money than other people in front-end retail positions
@@MowerModdin and how did you find this out without shopping there yourself? Are you a douchebag rich person instead?
@cuvtixo He said "One in every 10 customers I check out are like..." I think he works at Walmart.. I don't think he's a rich douchbag, and I don't think you are very intelligent.
It is not just Wal-Mart with lazy employees, its all places of work.
Crimson Dynamo I used to work at Walmart. And you are correct on that. They huddle in the office staring at the phones. And the only come out to say “just give to the customers.” 2 years later they get promoted. That’s Walmart.
Is it just me because I see prices of stuff keep going up but pay is staying the same. I also see that companies will spent 100s millions and even billions of dollars to purchase other companies. If a company can afford to give the CEO a raise from $7million to $21 million then they can afford to give their low wage workers from $10 to $25 wage increase, and that still being on the cheap side.
@@LeeLong121 idk about $25 per hour...I'm not really sure stocking shelves at Walmart deserves the hourly wage of a Registered Nurse lol
There's a lot of truth to that. I have worked on numerous government contracts with well paid union workers and their work ethic is pathetic, making $30/hr plus benefits and still dragging their asses, american unions are shameful.
True. No one touches my vehicles except me.
Scotty videos are addictive period!
Yes. They are.
You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT SCOTTY! I took my 1977 Grand Prix to walmart for warrenty work on a tire that had gone bad. The guy started the car, reved it up and slammed it into gear peeling out. He had a big smile on his face as he went through asking everyone if they saw what he had done. I asked for the manager and he question the guy who said it wasn't his fault because the car has a V-8 in it. Never going back there- where is the nearest Target?

I learned my lesson when Walmart damaged my rims from tire installation. They said the best they could do was refund me for installation.
I work at pep boys. We would've bought you new rims.
Jason Cotellessa They said since I didn’t get my rims from them, they couldn’t pay for the damages for them. :(
@@papikabi ha! That is irrelevant. Property damage is property damage. I would have taken it to small claims, if nothing else but for principle. I suspect a big corporation like them would have quickly settled.
You took rims to a Walmart and expected amazing service…..
@@ricky-sanchez Never again. Had 2 other cars to install rims on and went to Discount Tire for both. They did fantastic and will cover any damage that happens under their services
I love that quote about companies paying peanuts. That is so true. 😂
I never buy anything at Walmart because of how they treat their employees.
Yeah I've heard the horror stories. I feel bad for WalMart workers.
Yeah. I don't shop there
As a Walmart worker, I appreciate you. Thank you.
Finally someone have to say it. you are the best Scotty kilmer
I don't even like going to Walmart period but when I do I park where's there's nobody
Same here i park in the back i dont mind the walking
Yep I always park out the way since I got my new car, my old car got a small dent in the door and red paint transfer on the door edge from supermarket parking.
Max Damian Parking away from the crowd may not always help. Don't know if these people are Walmart employees or not but.....There are people that spend all day in a Walmart Parking Lot who just keep driving and parking next to customer cars and then opening their door to ding the car next to them and then repeating this all day long. A skilled "dinger" can bang about 6 cars a minute (10 seconds per vehicle ding ).
The four hour thing is no joke. They take a crazy amount of time. They also have a tendency to over tighten your oil filter.
I learned this the hard way. Walmart (in Yuma, AZ) RUINED one of my car rims during a tire replacement and had the nerve to say that’s how I brought it in. It took multiple calls and emails to their corporate office, but better believe they replaced the rim. Also, my gf went to the same store to get new tires installed, she drove off with flat tires. WTF???
Never take your car to PepBoys for service, either.
Even hand car wash guys claim to do oil changes
Pep boys messed up my Lexus, they did not know how to properly install a power steering pump, never use them again
Takes them half the day fixing a radiator hose.
@@theyjustwantyourmoney4539 especially in NY
It may not be typical, but the employees at our local Walmart in Florida are very nice and helpful.
Same here in Michigan!
Nice enough here, too , but seem very stressed.
It depends wherenone lives.
it all depends on the management muscle of each chain..
You might catch an honest guy trying to get started as a mechanic there but don't expect it.
Walmart has them drag out the service time believing you'll go in the store while waiting and spend more money.
Very good information, Scotty! Thanx.
If you like door dings in your nice vehicle, hang out at Wal-Mart.
That will likely happen if park near the entrance, that's why I don't park near the entrance to any business.
@@theDeitz I try to avoid driving near the entrance at a Walmart store. Lots of pedestrians walking to and from the entrance. I've seen pedestrians and drivers get into heated arguments about who has right of way. I don't see why these drivers think they will be driving quickly by the entrance.
@@Rhaspun Yep, it can be crazy at and or near the entrance. To me it would be safer, less confusing if that section of the road was one-way. But then again how many would obey that rule. :-/
I always park my car at the end of the parking lot where there is no cars. I have two working legs and I'm in good health, it's not walking an extra 50ft that will kill me.
I dented my sister's Mazda 🚙 in a Publix lot over 🦃 . 🤫..
This is all too true!! I have worked for Walmat twice and I knew more about mechanics when I was 10 years old than any one of them know to this day. The brown nosing/nuzzling thing is true also! The who you know & who you blow is so true!
@hairburger62 . Hang on , You've worked for them twice?. What's the go with that ?.😕
Geez😂 he talks the talk and walks the walk. We make 15$ and up per hour at my Walmart. I’m also a 91B in the Army, and 3 of my techs are in school for automotive, but I do agree with him that some people, are ignorant, and can be sloppy. But I Hire techs that know what there doing. Period.
I agree, I took my Dodge Caravan in for an alignment and they said I needed lower ball joints and a new set of brakes. I took it home and replaced the parts. I brought it back in and the mechanic said that I needed to have the same parts replaced. So, I told them I put new parts on and took my business elsewhere! Never been back!
Thanks, Scotty. My Walmart stock just dropped 25%.
The last time I went to Walmart to have my oil changed my car was on the lift for 7 hours because the workers got it stuck and could figure out how to get it down. I was out of a car for seven hours till a lift tech came out to fix it. I will never go there to have any type of service done again.
Good Lord! 🤭🤭 Smh! Shame on them!
How, the lift must've broke, I have a lift at home and that's damn near impossible to do
Good thing your car didn't fall off the lift when it broke. That would have been another headache.
Bruce Lee for the Chinese defense department 😂 love Scottys sense of humor
Well,I don't even go to Walmart anymore,I've been away for the last 10 years...don't miss it and never going back!🤪🤪🤪
Walmart is great if you are on a budget but it is awful if you want good customer service or are on a time crunch. I go there occasionally but I usually drop my car off and let them give me a call once it's done. If they really do screw something up badly you're dealing with one of the largest companies in the world, they have the ability to reimburse you for damages even without litigation.
That's why I actually go there for oil changes. If they screw something up they pay for real mechanic. My cars exhaust system was due to fall off, really bad shape, so I went to walmart for oil change. Sure enough, they knocked it off trying to pull it on lift. It's kind of like the scene in Goonies when Chunk gets handed the painting, you know it's breaking :-)
walmart put the wrong oil in my friends car a few months ago. gotta wait 2 + hrs for a crap job
To be honest tho people at dealerships could do an oil change wrong also. People are people no matter what. Lazy isnt just to walmart
My parents had a Grand Cherokee took it to Walmart for an oil change and for the next 3 days we couldn't figure out why the temperature gauge didn't seem to work right. We got our answer when the family mechanic drain 12 quarts of oil out of a 4 liter straight 6. That's pretty much double the oil required
I quit going there when I noticed they weren't filling my fluids. That's a great way to turn a car into scrap metal.
They're cheap but takes forever for an oil change and I heard they suck oil out instead of draining. They finally inspired me to buy ramps and change my own oil, so easy and satisfying to do it myself . Scotty showed me to just tighten the filter by hand.
@@android-ud2nf I've got to ask how long have you worked there? The second thing is your grammar form and syntax show that your inner Walmart is working
When I had my Explorer I bought Goodyear tires at Walmart and it was buy 3 get 1 free, saved over $150.
Any problems down the line?
They put 30psi in 80psi new Goodyear tires on my full size truck. Lucky I didn't roll them off the rims!
love your show take care

Ok, I'm listening...
(As a customer, not a worker.) Having your car sabotaged, where they create problems just to get more money out of you, using substandard parts..... Don't get me started. Then they send you discount cards to try and keep you coming back..... Vicious cycle!! Used to be gullible enough to fall for their crap, but no more!!!! I don't recommend it to my worst enemy.
Stories, not story's.
"if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys" - I think you'd have to pay bananas to get monkeys. With peanuts you might get elephants.
Or squirrels maybe
slow fat elephants 🐘 oil change takes 15mins not 4hours 😂
Turkey Bowlwinkle Plenty of elephants in Walmart.
