Well always know who the real scotty is dude. It's not hard to figure out. Don't shut your stuff down. Can you make a small water mark, and maybe before or during segments of the video, cut it and say "please don't post my video anywhere else" People will try to leach from the famous or influencers
For Scotty and anyone else that has a TH-cam channel you can turn off the option for people to be able to "Remix", aka sample your content. This should stop a lot of the copy cats. You can also turn off embedding, which will further limit where the video can be posted. Annoyingly, the remix setting has to be changed manually with each upload, but you can bulk edit the "Remix" toggle by selecting multiple videos in TH-cam Studio. I hate to be that person, but like so he can see!
@@Capt.PiklesTrue. I’m a digital marketer and graphic designer, and I knew how to use and take away watermarks in school. Unfortunately, it’s not that hard to steal videos. I’m truly upset with TH-cam and seeing a lot of my favourite channels shut down.
Sir, you kept me working and kept my family fed when I was dirt poor and all alone. Over the years, I became more and more competent. Now lots of struggling people call me for help when they break down. Your videos helped my whole community. I promise you have helped way more people than others have conned in your name. Thank you so much.
I’m so deeply sorry, Scotty. The owners of these social media companies should fiercely protect noble accounts like yours. Please stay!! We need you so much!! Please don’t leave!
Yeah, that’s absolutely abominable but clearly he can make far more money. He needs to fill that space or others will. He needs to hire someone to do it for him, even if he doesn’t need the money, it will keep others out. Keep the information free but man, make a product!
U had me nervous to annouce that i thought u were shutting down. My father inlaw retired as a mechanic. Im not a mechanic. I wanted to learn, but he didn't want to me to do what he does. So instead i watch your videos for any repairs. I count on u. U do me well. I thank u. Keep up the good work.
You are a legend, I will do my part. You’ve done so much for us, it’s the least we could do for you. It's a-shame the world we live in where other people steal content.
I've been watching you for over 13 years..I'm now 56. You have taught me alot and saved me thousands of dollars, I learned how to purchase the right car for the right price and I learned to do most of my own car repairs and diagnostics and most all have been on point! Being a female, who got tired of being ripped off in the past I appreciate you Scotty! Thank you!😊
Hey Scotty, I really hope you are going to continue posting content. I can't think of anyone better than you for giving amazing advice about cars and their repairs. Take the necessary precautions for identifying your content to your subscribers and fans. What a horrible shame it would be to loose such an amazing mind in the world of cars and repairs. Stay where you are and don't stop doing what you were born to do!!!! Your videos are amazing and your knowledge knows no bounds. The subscribers love you SCOTTY and we will support you in any way you need!!!!
Scotty you’ve been doing TH-cam since TH-cam wasn’t even cool just keep doing what you’re doing and inform people it’s sad that people are thieves now all I can tell you don’t stop what you’re doing because we need people like you!!!
Definitely one of the reason I avoid most social media platforms. It’s sad that an honest man using his knowledge on cars helping millions has to succumb to the trash out there. God bless Scotty and I’ll definitely continue to follow you on here. Hope to meet you one day. ❤
Please don’t shut down your channel. We need you desperately to help us weed thru the car world. You are a mechanic guru that is helping countless of people. Some people are gullible and fall for scams. It only shows you that these scammers are using the gullible for their own gain. Don’t let the 1% ruin valuable information.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you!!! This pisses me offf. I love you man, and i have adopted you as my dad because I dont have one. You are in my opinion, the most influential person in the car community. I wonder how many collective millions of dollars you have saved people with your FREE knowledge.
Bad people will always be around to ruin things for good people. Scotty, you are GOOD PEOPLE. I am so sorry this has happened to you. I do not blame you for your decision to shut down your channel. I am already tired of dealing with bad people and I haven't had to deal with what you have dealt with. Your channel has helped me deal with many issues regarding my personal vehicle. Your charisma gets me excited and confident to do the work. I hope you will continue to help others as you have been doing and I hope you can figure out a way to keep bad people from tainting your name. You have a GOOD NAME and these lazy good-for-nothing loser people have NO NAME. Stay classy Scotty!
Social media is a joke. It's nothing but negative stuff. No matter what people post good or bad there's always going to negative comments and trolls. Then you have people doing crap like this using the great Scotty Kilmer name. Appreciate all you do Scotty. I've learned a lot from your videos.
@@Baebon6259they (Facebook, TH-cam, TikTok, and other hosts) make money from taking a cut from the money the illegitimate stores are making. They also make money from you believing they’re going after “politically correct” videos, since they can have you hooked on their algorithms that feed you content that confirms that belief for you.
I have followed you on TH-cam for about a decade and never had a problem. So easy to do. Thanks for all your content. You are the most honest source for car stuff and I am spreading your channel on TH-cam. Keep up the good work. Denny
sue the hell out of those people and continue on scotty, me and many other people love your channel , please do not discontinue what you do so well at! your info you give all of us is entertaining and and valuable information! thanks for all you've done for people!!!!
We believe you brother. Don't sweat it. We all know you good. Honestly any one else can watch just 5 minutes into any video and your credentials and authentication speaks for itself. Get them band would be the objective. I'll also keep a eye out also and report any craziness that comes up. God bless you Sir.
When I first started watching your videos I didn't even know how to put air in a tire, much less change one. Over the years I have aquired an immeasurable amount of knowledge from you to the point where I can pretty much fix anything now. I grew up without a dad so I had nobody to teach me about cars. Your videos have saved my butt more times than I can count. One could even argue that you were like the dad I never had. Thank you Scotty.
Please do not shut down your channel Scotty . I like your channel . Thank you for sharing your real experience and wealth of knowledge all these years, which has helped me avoid buying junk cars.
I'm 67 yrs old. I know you very well through your channel. I'm and old car guy all my life. I love your channel. I'll do whatever you ask to help you keep your channel. Scotty Kilmer.....YAHHH
Get a lawyer and get help. You need to get this stopped. This is worth fighting for - it’s your name and image and you need to get protection there are ways to stop this.
Absolutely. If someone online sees a cheap chinese product being promoted next to a Scotty Kelmer video and they get injured while using that product, that person wil certainly sue Scotty thiking he promoted the product. This can become a serious nightmare for Scotty.
Scotty te quiero mucho, y esos estafadores jamás llegarán a lo que tú haces, eres genial así no hablemos el mismo idioma aprendí mucho de ti gracias al traductor. Que mal que hagan todo eso, pero no claudiques, no te desanimes, eres el tío que siempre quise tener, gracias por todo. No dejes el canal, yo seguiré siempre al original!!!!!!!!
I was very sad for s second since a lot of youtubers have been quitting lately. Glad to see your still here and your channel is alive as ever. Best of luck with taking down these scam channels and accounts!
I'm from the Philippines, and your videos helped me a lot in my own car problems. Your channel is my go-to whenever I have mechanical problems... please don't go
Scotty, you are an inspiration to me and others. I run my own shop and don't know it all, and you're always been very informative and helpful. Ross from NZ
I’m A long time follower/ Subscriber and although I’ve not frequently commented on much throughout the 15 years I’ve been following, I’ve been educated and have so much gratitude for Scotty and his work. *WE MUST PROTECT THIS CREATOR AND HIS CONTENT* This makes me sad! The thought of Scotty, a true part of the TH-cam Foundation, no longer publishing content is disheartening because I value Scotty’s wisdom, knowledge, opinions and generosity in sharing them all. It’s all been especially helpful to me as a woman who’s not had anyone to aide with or provide the information and education needed to get the best services, options etc. Thank you Scotty,
Its a shame that these people do this and ruin good things. I remember finding you when I was thinking about recharging my AC on my own and you had a good video on why exactly I shouldn't do that. So I found a good honest mechanic and they did it for me for a pretty good price.
Please Scotty, don’t shut your channel down. I’ve learned so much about cars from you. You’re the only one who has been able to help me understand and I so thank you so much.
Scotty you literally saved my job by helping me fixing my own car. You also probably saved my life because without you I would drop dead from heath attack 😂 You are truly our National Treasure ❤️💯🐐
Hate to hear that. I've been referring to your videos to help my son decide what to replace his totaled car with. Its good to have someone who knows pointing out pros and cons of different vehicles.
Hey Scotty some people like yourself are giving and helpful to others, and then there's the free loaders that are trying to steal from hard working folks like you,lots of respect for you and no respect for the thieves. Keep up the good work and thank you learned a lot from your channel.
I feel so bad this has happened for you. Unfortunatel thats just what social media and business has devolved into due to lack of regulation. Thanks for all the information over the years.
I know how you feel Scotty. I owned business a few years ago. At 3 different locations . And a family of scum bags illegally used my name marketing and color schemes. Long story short i asked them politely to change the name etc. They didn't so i got with my lawyer and he put a stop to it.
Please don't leave us, Scotty! We absolutely LOVE YOU in Canada! I hate what's happening to you. Scammers are everywhere and I despise it. We respect your videos 100%. Go show them Scotty! Shut those losers right down! Why don't people get a job like the rest of us.
Scotty, you're awesome! I hate that thieves are trying to use your likeness to be you. I've been watching you long enough that I know how you think. Thank you so much for all the great information you've given over the years. We all appreciate you more than you know.
That's horrible, Scotty! I only found you here last year and you've been a HUGE help in decisions I make, as well as teaching me things I never knew about cars. You are very knowledgeable and so funny 🤣 I'll report these fakers! They're stealing from you like mad 🤬🤬🤬
Was raised in my father’s service station and I wish you and the internet were around in the seventies…please don’t give up…your videos are priceless…we need people like you to do videos on all manner of subjects…to hell with the fakes…there is only one Scotty Kilmer…
I appreciate this man sharing years of knowledge for free. I can't believe Scotty gave away his email to over 740,000 people I wouldn't want to have to sort through those emails.
You’re the best. I have made two car purchases using your channel to make sound decisions. You truly helped my husband and I make the best choices for our transportation needs. I hate to see you go. If you decide to stay that would be wonderful. But if not then thanks for the memories and I wish you all the best.
With the money you have earned from being a man of integrity, go after the scumbags that are misusing your videos, and let them destroy themselves. Thank you for all of your information and sense of humor!
Scotty, Wait until AI gets really bad. They’re trying to cheat movie stars by copying their images and voices to eventually replace them. Second thought, I don’t think the robot could talk that fast and swing his arms at the same time. You’re safe for now Scotty. All kidding aside, really enjoy your channel
Unfortunately that's the world that we live in now, constant scammers and hackers and people trying to make a quick buck because they're too damn lazy to work or to think of their own content So Scotty sympathize with you I understand
I'm with you Scotty! Having an engineering background, common sense says: bad products, bad advice, & false claims about a 3,000 lbs. piece of metal going down the road, could possibly Kill or Injure someone. I think it's Dangerous. I Support You Tube's real, original SCOTTY! Thanks Scotty for the years of safe & useful videos. Get rid of those fakes ☠ be Safe! 👍
Scammers are going to scam one way or another, Scotty. Even if you shut down, they will continue using your face and old content. Hell, in today's world, they could load it into an AI and produce their own. You might as well just keep doing what you do, and this world needs to realize it's buyer beware when you break out your wallet.
Scotty, thank you for the years of service and help you have given us in fixing cars and knowing which cars and products to avoid; which ones are best. You are the real deal!
Every original creator has same problem: report impersonators to platforms, rally your members/viewers to report scammers, run a watermark over all your footage. Sue even. But quitting just empowers the thieves 😢
I enjoy watching your videos, i have learned a lot from you and really appreciate your knowledge it sure sucks that others are doing this to you. Never Quit Scotty!! Keep on REVVING YOUR ENGINES !!
Scotty, wether you leave or not I just want you to know how much I really appreciate all of your content. I’ve learned more about cars from your videos that I learned in trade school. You’ve been an irreplaceable resource to me and I’m incredibly grateful to ya. I really hope you get all of the credit you deserve. Cheers and good luck to you with your future endeavors.
I adore you so much. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I've watched you on and off to fix a few things. I am now in the market for a used car and was feeling overwhelmed then I was like hmmm wait a second time to watch Scotty videos for recommendations. I trust your opinion and appreciate your honesty.
As a Fellow Auto Tech, Collision Tech I love your channel budd I'm 34 and your part of the older generation that mentored me and I have nothing but respect and appreciation for yall
I Would be giving bad advice just based off that it could be a number of things, does the vehicle have any DTC's? how many miles are on it? @@mrrebel5150
Scottie man you taught me so much over the years man. I thank you so much for your valuable contribution and complete knowledge shared over the years. I’ve applied a bunch and also went and purchased a 4Runner 3rd Gen. needs a little work but, omg it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever touched.
Time to get a lawyer to go after these people for identity theft and defamation (defaming your reputation by selling cheap products or scamming people). These people aren't lazy. They are immoral criminals who need to be sent a loud clear message with TEETH that identity theft is a criminal act.
As a young mechanic still learning new about being a mechanic I want to say thank you for everything Scotty it sucks that your leaving as your truly one kind of a mechanic this breaks my heart.
Love you Scottie, don't leave. I am a woman and don't know anything about cars but I do know to keep the oil changed. I have a 2003 and 2011 Toyota Camry and they are still purring like kittens. The 2003 and a 2011 Toyota Camry, brought both brand new with less than 7 miles. I had some work done on the 2003 but I love both of my TOYOTAs. The 2011 I just keep the oil changed and its at 178,000 miles with no mechanical problems whatsoever! The 2003 has about 260,000 miles. Them are the only cars I buy now and I buy them new because I know I will keep them around for a long time! I have learned a lot since watching your channel. Been watching your channel now for about a year.
Been a fan of yours for years from working in the Automotive Parts industry Thank you for the knowledge, the time and effort. You are appreciated and celebrated God bless -JB from Florida
Scotty. As a Retired Marine I feel ya my friend. Sadly social media is more scam than good. YOU are amazing sir and I always wish you the best. God Bless you man!!

Well always know who the real scotty is dude. It's not hard to figure out. Don't shut your stuff down.
Can you make a small water mark, and maybe before or during segments of the video, cut it and say "please don't post my video anywhere else"
People will try to leach from the famous or influencers
For it... I can't edit for some reason
@@TheLostDude7 good idea
Scotty I hope you report those channels
Well I know this video is safe they're not going to post this one. 😅
For Scotty and anyone else that has a TH-cam channel you can turn off the option for people to be able to "Remix", aka sample your content. This should stop a lot of the copy cats. You can also turn off embedding, which will further limit where the video can be posted.
Annoyingly, the remix setting has to be changed manually with each upload, but you can bulk edit the "Remix" toggle by selecting multiple videos in TH-cam Studio.
I hate to be that person, but like so he can see!

Where do you find remix settings?
Where do you turn off embedding in TH-cam Studio please?????
@@rickranum1in TH-cam Studios, or right before you upload a video
Yeah, it's not gonna help, there is a lot of different ways to download video from youtube.
Scotty PLEASE USE WATERMARKS on your videos!!! This is help viewers know its You!! Scammers are stupid! We will only support the REAL Scotty!
Also turn Off the Remix option on your videos!!!
If you’re decent with video editing, it’s pretty trivial to remove the watermark.
It’s a sad day that genuine creators have to deal with this though.
Scotty, try a Transparent embossed video watermark on your videos.
I love your videos, personality and voice. You should do voice acting too!
How can Tictoc allow this?!?!!!! This is just shameful. There should be some kind of liability protection for video creators. Come on Tictoc!

Scotty is more than capable of taking care of it
Wow so many likes but only one comment? You are right, there is only one Scotty Kilmer.
Jesus how nicely said from you !!!😄😄

Using Scotty or any other You Tube "personality" to hawk something is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Sir, you kept me working and kept my family fed when I was dirt poor and all alone. Over the years, I became more and more competent. Now lots of struggling people call me for help when they break down. Your videos helped my whole community. I promise you have helped way more people than others have conned in your name. Thank you so much.
You also helped my wife with her squeaky knees on a professional level only!, god bless ya'
I’m so deeply sorry, Scotty. The owners of these social media companies should fiercely protect noble accounts like yours. Please stay!! We need you so much!! Please don’t leave!
They don't care because it just means more revenue for these social media companies. They have no integrity or any values. They just love money.
This is happening to a lot of people on TikTok and other social media.
Yeah, that’s absolutely abominable but clearly he can make far more money. He needs to fill that space or others will. He needs to hire someone to do it for him, even if he doesn’t need the money, it will keep others out. Keep the information free but man, make a product!
youtube sadly is only in for the money now and not for the content creators on their platform
This is happening with a lot of content creators, unfortunately. But hey, Scotty, we love you, and we're all willing to help, so don't go anywhere.
I think he means that he's hoping to shut down the phony Scotty Kilmer channels, with our help. 😊
CCPTV
True. Many people are being ripped off particularly on TikTok.
Every single successful TH-cam. Every single one.
I found a few of my video on other channels, reported them to YT, they are still there. It may be a never ending fight.
There's only one Scotty Kilmer. TH-cam would be pointless without you, Scotty.
Amen!
Absolutely!
Hear, here! TH-cam is a better place with Scotty!

You’re absolutely right.

Absolutely. If someone online sees a cheap chinese product being promoted next to a Scotty Kelmer video and they get injured while using that product, that person wil certainly sue Scotty thiking he promoted the product. This can become a serious nightmare for Scotty.
Chinese lawyer?
@@robertgary3561 I'm sure that a Chinese lawyer would be glad to take his money. :-) :-) :-)
Please don't quit Scotty. I love watching you're videos.
He’s not going anywhere,, your suppose to report people using his name on social media
Everyone is scamming to make a quick buck,and screw everyone 😮
@@eileenbardos4524great comeback 😂
Well you didnt watch this video, he is not shutting down his channel.
@@centaurus5676 I did. I commented before I watched it
Nooo Scotty, youre the only one I trust when it comes to cars. Dont go!
No doubt
He is an Asset to the DIY community and I hate to see him go.
Scotty te quiero mucho, y esos estafadores jamás llegarán a lo que tú haces, eres genial así no hablemos el mismo idioma aprendí mucho de ti gracias al traductor. Que mal que hagan todo eso, pero no claudiques, no te desanimes, eres el tío que siempre quise tener, gracias por todo. No dejes el canal, yo seguiré siempre al original!!!!!!!!
Anything for you Scotty!! You're the best ❤ We need to call out these scumbags taking your stuff!
I was very sad for s second since a lot of youtubers have been quitting lately. Glad to see your still here and your channel is alive as ever. Best of luck with taking down these scam channels and accounts!
I'm from the Philippines, and your videos helped me a lot in my own car problems. Your channel is my go-to whenever I have mechanical problems... please don't go
Scotty, you are an inspiration to me and others. I run my own shop and don't know it all, and you're always been very informative and helpful. Ross from NZ
Yup, people on FB and TikTok are doing the same thing with my content too, Scotty. So frustrating.
Scotty your one of a kind. No one can replicate you. Who else can move his arms and hands like you.
I'm so sorry this is happening. You are so good at what you do and help so many of us.
I just took your advice and bought a Honda Accord because of you. The scammers are always there. Thanks for keeping us informed.
I’m A long time follower/ Subscriber and although I’ve not frequently commented on much throughout the 15 years I’ve been following, I’ve been educated and have so much gratitude for Scotty and his work. *WE MUST PROTECT THIS CREATOR AND HIS CONTENT*
This makes me sad! The thought of Scotty, a true part of the TH-cam Foundation, no longer publishing content is disheartening because I value Scotty’s wisdom, knowledge, opinions and generosity in sharing them all. It’s all been especially helpful to me as a woman who’s not had anyone to aide with or provide the information and education needed to get the best services, options etc. Thank you Scotty,
True Scotty fans know you don't sell junk or charge for anything. We also know your live shows are always on YT.
Its a shame that these people do this and ruin good things. I remember finding you when I was thinking about recharging my AC on my own and you had a good video on why exactly I shouldn't do that. So I found a good honest mechanic and they did it for me for a pretty good price.
That's why many of need Scotty!
Scotty one I always look up to
Please Scotty, don’t shut your channel down. I’ve learned so much about cars from you. You’re the only one who has been able to help me understand and I so thank you so much.
He's talking about the copycat channels
@@K-Zone people who comment and don't actually watch the vids
@@Your_Friend_Nowwhere’s my check, you get one?
Did you actually hear what he said???
@@Your_Friend_Now
You guys are getting paid?
Hang in there Scotty! All the best from Australia 👍👍
Sadly, this is happening to many good informative TH-camrs… So sorry to hear and it’s hard to fight it and stop it. It’s almost impossible. :(
Huh? It's a easy copy right lawsuit
Please don’t ever quit Scotty, we need you!!!
What a world...! Thanks for being here, Scotty, and thanks for being (the real) YOU!
Scotty you literally saved my job by helping me fixing my own car. You also probably saved my life because without you I would drop dead from heath attack 😂
You are truly our National Treasure ❤️💯🐐
Hate to hear that. I've been referring to your videos to help my son decide what to replace his totaled car with. Its good to have someone who knows pointing out pros and cons of different vehicles.
Hey Scotty some people like yourself are giving and helpful to others, and then there's the free loaders that are trying to steal from hard working folks like you,lots of respect for you and no respect for the thieves. Keep up the good work and thank you learned a lot from your channel.
I'm glad you're doing something about these imposters. TikTok has really screwed things up for everybody.
I feel so bad this has happened for you. Unfortunatel thats just what social media and business has devolved into due to lack of regulation. Thanks for all the information over the years.
Don't leave us, Scotty! You are a legend!
Did you even watch the video? 🫥
key word is Channels.
I know how you feel Scotty. I owned business a few years ago. At 3 different locations . And a family of scum bags illegally used my name marketing and color schemes. Long story short i asked them politely to change the name etc. They didn't so i got with my lawyer and he put a stop to it.
The best thing all your viewers can do is to share this video and spread the word.
I’ve been watching you for years. You’re the best and you’ve helped me so many times. Thanks, so much for all you do.
Please don't leave us, Scotty! We absolutely LOVE YOU in Canada! I hate what's happening to you. Scammers are everywhere and I despise it. We respect your videos 100%. Go show them Scotty! Shut those losers right down! Why don't people get a job like the rest of us.
He says goodbye 3 times a year.
Calm down, woman. He's not leaving.
We love your integrity and content for your help and support.
Scotty, you're awesome! I hate that thieves are trying to use your likeness to be you. I've been watching you long enough that I know how you think. Thank you so much for all the great information you've given over the years. We all appreciate you more than you know.
same happens with adam savage.
Your review of the Maverick had a huge impact on my purchase of a Maverick. Thank you!
That's horrible, Scotty! I only found you here last year and you've been a HUGE help in decisions I make, as well as teaching me things I never knew about cars. You are very knowledgeable and so funny 🤣 I'll report these fakers! They're stealing from you like mad 🤬🤬🤬
Was raised in my father’s service station and I wish you and the internet were around in the seventies…please don’t give up…your videos are priceless…we need people like you to do videos on all manner of subjects…to hell with the fakes…there is only one Scotty Kilmer…
I love your sense of humor with this! The world is a brighter place with you on YT!
I appreciate this man sharing years of knowledge for free. I can't believe Scotty gave away his email to over 740,000 people I wouldn't want to have to sort through those emails.
I appreciate you, Scotty. Thanks for everything you do.
You’re the best. I have made two car purchases using your channel to make sound decisions. You truly helped my husband and I make the best choices for our transportation needs. I hate to see you go. If you decide to stay that would be wonderful. But if not then thanks for the memories and I wish you all the best.
With the money you have earned from being a man of integrity, go after the scumbags that are misusing your videos, and let them destroy themselves. Thank you for all of your information and sense of humor!
there is no real mechanism to do that on tik tok
Scotty, Wait until AI gets really bad. They’re trying to cheat movie stars by copying their images and voices to eventually replace them. Second thought, I don’t think the robot could talk that fast and swing his arms at the same time. You’re safe for now Scotty. All kidding aside, really enjoy your channel
I hate to see you go Sir, but i understand. Ive learned more from tiur channel than two years at a technical school. Thank you for everything.
It happens to everyone who has a large following...we need you Scotty! Hang in there!
Unfortunately that's the world that we live in now, constant scammers and hackers and people trying to make a quick buck because they're too damn lazy to work or to think of their own content So Scotty sympathize with you I understand
I'm with you Scotty! Having an engineering background, common sense says: bad products, bad advice, & false claims about a 3,000 lbs. piece of metal going down the road, could possibly Kill or Injure someone. I think it's Dangerous. I Support You Tube's real, original SCOTTY! Thanks Scotty for the years of safe & useful videos. Get rid of those fakes ☠ be Safe! 👍
You've helped me a lot over the years! Thank you sir!
People have forgotten the rule: don't believe everything you see on the Internet. 🙂 Don't shut down Scotty, I've only started watching you!!!
The Establishment is not credible either.
"Don't believe everything you read on the internet" is an Abraham Lincoln quote.
Don't ever change Scotty! Never had anything from you but good, sensible advice. Appreciate it!
Scammers are going to scam one way or another, Scotty. Even if you shut down, they will continue using your face and old content. Hell, in today's world, they could load it into an AI and produce their own. You might as well just keep doing what you do, and this world needs to realize it's buyer beware when you break out your wallet.
Scotty, thank you for the years of service and help you have given us in fixing cars and knowing which cars and products to avoid; which ones are best. You are the real deal!
Every original creator has same problem: report impersonators to platforms, rally your members/viewers to report scammers, run a watermark over all your footage. Sue even. But quitting just empowers the thieves 😢
I enjoy watching your videos, i have learned a lot from you and really appreciate your knowledge it sure sucks that others are doing this to you. Never Quit Scotty!! Keep on REVVING YOUR ENGINES !!
Kindly note that your use of a comma (,) should be a semicolon (;) and that your use of "i" should be "I".
Glad to help you Scotty! Those people are going down very soon if we all cooperate.
Scotty, wether you leave or not I just want you to know how much I really appreciate all of your content. I’ve learned more about cars from your videos that I learned in trade school. You’ve been an irreplaceable resource to me and I’m incredibly grateful to ya. I really hope you get all of the credit you deserve. Cheers and good luck to you with your future endeavors.
I adore you so much. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I've watched you on and off to fix a few things. I am now in the market for a used car and was feeling overwhelmed then I was like hmmm wait a second time to watch Scotty videos for recommendations. I trust your opinion and appreciate your honesty.
As a Fellow Auto Tech, Collision Tech I love your channel budd I'm 34 and your part of the older generation that mentored me and I have nothing but respect and appreciation for yall
maybe you can help..
2016 Chevy Colorado Z71 6 cylinder jerks and sputtering at slower rpm. I'm at a loss. any advice would be greatly appreciated
I Would be giving bad advice just based off that it could be a number of things, does the vehicle have any DTC's? how many miles are on it? @@mrrebel5150
His name is Mr Scotty to you not Bud
Depends where your from if its appropriate It would probably be Mr Kilmer being our age difference, but who are you? @@rocketman7471
Scottie man you taught me so much over the years man. I thank you so much for your valuable contribution and complete knowledge shared over the years. I’ve applied a bunch and also went and purchased a 4Runner 3rd Gen. needs a little work but, omg it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever touched.
Scottie got Toyota’s sittin everywhere ❤
Scotty you are the real deal! The hell with those who are trying to take advantage of your great information on utube.
Retired Marine.
Hang in there!
Time to get a lawyer to go after these people for identity theft and defamation (defaming your reputation by selling cheap products or scamming people). These people aren't lazy. They are immoral criminals who need to be sent a loud clear message with TEETH that identity theft is a criminal act.
They are probably in China.
As a young mechanic still learning new about being a mechanic I want to say thank you for everything Scotty it sucks that your leaving as your truly one kind of a mechanic this breaks my heart.
He is leaving everything except TH-cam.
He's not leaving. When he says he is shutting down the Scotty Kilmer Channels he means he wants to shut down the fakes.
Ridiculous. I hope you don't quit. I love your content!
I would donate for your channel, Scotty. I So Appreciate your logical mechanical information! THANK YOU!!
I feel for you Scotty 💔 You're awesome! 🙌
Love you Scottie, don't leave. I am a woman and don't know anything about cars but I do know to keep the oil changed. I have a 2003 and 2011 Toyota Camry and they are still purring like kittens. The 2003 and a 2011 Toyota Camry, brought both brand new with less than 7 miles. I had some work done on the 2003 but I love both of my TOYOTAs. The 2011 I just keep the oil changed and its at 178,000 miles with no mechanical problems whatsoever! The 2003 has about 260,000 miles. Them are the only cars I buy now and I buy them new because I know I will keep them around for a long time! I have learned a lot since watching your channel. Been watching your channel now for about a year.
I have learned a lot from you, you're the honest one I've seen . Thank you for TH-cam videos
Hi sir,thanks for the heads up..Thanks for your help and information about car problems and tips..Thanks again all the way from South Africa.
