I'm new to car and my dad did work on car I just received my license in November 2019 I'm learning how to fix my own car I went to this guy who up charged everything that come with oil change. Filter 50 bucks. Omg new oil pan 181 bucks and his time which I was in for $531.28 later I'm never going to someone again. Nissan rogue 2012... beater car for me
Scotty is proof that an honest mechanic can have great business. No need to deceive customers to make money as a mechanic. Honesty is a reward and then some when it comes to cars..
Absolutely right I work in a lube shop, we dont give mechanic advice and we only promise changing fluids is preventative and we dont pressure we only recommend things once, we are lined up all day and have great reviews because some other places are rip off artists. I have a mechanic I prefer he does it right well worth the money
You're exactly like my grandpa been a mechanic his hole life ,still fixing cars, still doing most for free as long as you have the parts and likes to tell people what's actually wrong with there car. It's people like you guys are what we need more of
Scotty is great but there are plenty of good, honest mechanics out there. You simply need to take the time to find them. Staying far away from all chain repair shops and dealership service centers is a good start.
He needs to start a fukkn school ... a really school with nothing but him talking not these cookie cutter book warm mechanics that come out looking like scientist more less a dawm mechanics
Despite how rich he probably actually is he doesn't go all flashy and by fancy cars and big houses or anything like that because he's cheap he doesn't see the point in spending tons of money on something or go dumb like most people when they get rich
At least Scotty knows the difference between running and fixed. I worked as a technician for 40+ years and that was one of the hardest concepts to train techs. The other is that if you have an assembly with several identical parts that receive the wear and one has gone bad, change them all. If you do not you will be chasing the problem until all are replaced anyway. The parts are most often cheaper than your time.
Yeah, even having been a trained mechanic for over 30yrs now I still enjoy my technical reading and geeking out to motor and diagnostics stuff! I think it has kept me sharp and taught me from other's mistakes, etc..
I’m a woman and could listen to Scotty all day long, I don’t know how to work on cars never have but appreciate all the information that will help me have some idea if I should have car trouble before I go to the dealership.
Agreed, even if you don't work on cars, having automotive knowledge is so important to understand when you need to go to a pro, and what you should expect and know to talk to the mechanics about. Make sure they do things right.
Not the 3.6 you mean the 2.7 V6 where they designed the water pump under the timing chain with a weep hole into the oil pan. Guaranteed to grenade under 70K miles. Shame that crap motor was used in several decently built cars.
Scotty is not only old school but he has updated himself so well and he does not believe in wasting money in trial and error which is a waste of money.
As someone who gotten into the mech thing at least on DIY level.. It's not that many mech rip people off though some do.. It's that many time mechs won't really know what wrong and fix the wrong part...... It even has a name in mach game " parts changer" or "throwing parts" Then they still have to charge for parts and labor because they technically did the work but don't solve problem..........
Watched this one twice. If I was teaching auto mechanics in a community college I would make watching his videos part of the course requirements. Learn mechanics and ethics at the same time.
@Andrew Thompson bad mechanics are everywhere what I do I have scanner I know the problem is from there I just take it to mechanic and hear what they recommend from there I made the decision on what to replace the. Just take it to any mechanic whit the parts to replace
I loved the pacing of this video. I learned a lot in just 25 minutes. I've recently been getting into auto-mechanics and I know how an engine works, and I know how a manual, an auto, and a CVT transmission works. And now because of this video I've learned how the radiator works, the fan assembly and hoses and about the mass air flow sensors. Thank you for this educational video.
Scotty Kilmer is such a fantastic instructor. Still, I wouldn't try to fix most of these problems myself. He makes me a appreciate good, skillful, honest auto mechanics even more.
Scotty This is the BEST Video you ever made It covers almost Everything in lay terms and you SHOW how to FIX IT. Love Ya! Best Mechanic in the World. God bless you
Very valuable information for those who want to work on their own vehicles! So far we have every scan tool Scotty has! LOL! Boss has a thing for scan tools! Lol and battery/alternator analyzers! When I told the boss about Scotty’s channel he said I’ve know about Scotty Kilmer for years! He said Scotty is considered a Master Mechanic in the auto repair world!
Scotty is the best !!! Wish he was my mechanic. I have learned more in one of Scotty's videos than in the 60 years I've been driving, owning multiple vehicles, and recieving tons of repair bills.
I became a you tube mechanic by watching Scotty and a couple other guys, it’s been 6 years already that I have been able to fix my car every time it needs parts replacement and maintenance. Save lots of money. Thanks scotty.
Scotty, I love your show, been watching you help me and others from getting ripped for years. I even remember that you were on some kind of T.V. show about cars. I hope you're doing well, and I wish there were more people like yourself. Your a honest man, hard to come by. Have a great day.
And it contaminates the muffler bearing so lube it to stop squeak and chk Eng light and always replace muffler bearing with a usa made timken roller bearing chk engine light solved!
You Scotty are the most wonderful auto mechanic ever. Your honest as the day is long, and not motivated by money. Your are like a breath of fresh Spring Colorado air.
Fun fact: each one of those ignition coils is $150+. I also own a kia forte and i have to maintain it weekly to make sure it doesn’t have problems. Often times, the coil springs go bad and you would think to replace the whole thing, but the dealer will sell them to you for around $2 each. Also, the brake lights tend to work intermittently and tends to blow brake bulbs a lot. If you have this problem, simply get led brake bulbs and adjust the metal contacts within the brake light housing so they actually touch the bulb contacts. Hope this saves someone some time and money.
@@Dcc357 stop spreading false info. Not all the 2.4 suffered from the engine failure problem. It was the ones from 2011-2014. I owned a 2010 for 5yrs. Drove it up to 181k miles. Was going to sell it but gave it to a family member instead after I bought a minivan. The engine and transmission is still perfect. The only thing it needs is new suspension parts, which the family member is getting placed before driving it.
Hey Scotty I watch all of your videos. I've learned quite a lot of things. I try to share my new found knowledge when ever I can. I really appreciate your honesty 💯. You are a rockstar!!
I have learned more about cars in watching this guys channel than I ever learned in decades of owning cars. Scotty I LOVE how you edit your videos. You cut all the useless chit chat and cut right to the important info. It’s unbelievable how many channels do a stupid and droning intro introducing themselves and shooting the breeze , and have about 2-3 mins of actual useful information. Thanks for being excellent at what you do and also a great TH-cam channel host for getting STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!! ❤
One of my ignition coils in my Tundra finally cracked after 260,000 miles, i was amazed how long it lasted, i went and replaced all 8 of them, great toyota reliability.
Sono un ragazzo appassionato di meccanica, non posso fare altro che ringraziarti Scotty, magari in Italia ci fossero meccanici come te. Complimenti per tutto,NUMERO UNO!!!!
Houston is either a parking lot or a speedway. Has been that way for decades. The cops will chase them so that's even more scary! Use hallways. It's safer.
Real mechanicing!! this is so much better than your normal videos! I used to have a grand marquis about 30 years ago.. It had massive radiator problems but I was a dummy about cars back then and no you tube... Got robbed by four different mechanics. One guy literally took the thermostat out, chucked it into a nearby transhcan and said, "don't need that..."
Scotty, thank you so much for helping me with my problem! I had a similar issue with my Mazda6. Swapped the coils, same deal as you. Replaced plugs, viola!
Just did this to my 97 4runner. Switched coil packs and still same cylinder. Changed the plug and that fixed it but this same thing happened about two and a half years ago with the same cylinder. Driven about 15K miles.
Found me some honest mechanics last year. I knew by the way they allowed me to watch and the way they troubleshooted my issue that they could be trusted. But I heard the mechanic mention to me afterwards that he was concerned about the misfire in #1. I blew him off but kept his observations in mind. Went home and Googled it. Ended up replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils, cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body. I also took off the intake box and the complete intake assembly and took it inside to clean it in the sink. Inside and out. Waited an hour and reinstalled everything with a new filter. No more misfire. I probably spent a $100.
I’m learning so much from your videos! So thankful that you share your knowledge and experience with people like me who know little about vehicles. While I can’t do my own mechanical work, knowledge is power when I go to the shop.
They got rid of automotive class at my HS right before I became a freshman. I was mad. But now channels like this exist, and like I thought back then. I like hearing about how machines work.
Great Video Scotty.... I Have Found That When Working On Cars It Helps To Use Profanity... When Something Is Being Difficult A Few MF's ,SOB's And D's Do The Trick... Those Profane Words Work Like Magic.
Hi Scotty; I have had a coolant loss problem for several months on one of my 2000 saturn sl1's that I operate(I have 3 on the road). Car didn't have any leaks that I could find. The level in the overflow tank keep going down about a pint a week. I checked head gasket with a pressure tester. Checked the cooling system with a 15 psi pressure tester at the overflow tank.; no leaks there, either. Then one day, I was at a Turkey Hill store and left the car running. Though I would be out in a couple minutes only to find the store very busy and only one person at the checkout. 25 minutes later; I returned to the car and found a cloud of steam billowing forth from under the hood! At last!I realized that the problem was the coolant fan wasn't working! Back into The store and $24 later with a gallon of 50:50 antifreeze; I carefully returned home and checked the fan motor with a DVM. The fan was open circuit. That was the cause of my leak problem. $30 for a new one on ebay and all is well!
You dont monetize beyond TH-cam normal incentives. You only care about the information. You have continued to show your love beyond being involved with major distribution and entertainment companies. You inspire me greatly and I think you have inspired many people to create their own TH-cam channels
I found your YT's about a week ago. I look forward now every day, to my Teacher Mechanic Scotty's Car lessons. It's your arm activity while you're talking, that keeps my mind on task with you. I'm a grandma with 3 kids who don't fit in my 06 caddy cts, so I need to trade for more seats. Haven't gone to a car lot yet. So glad I waited, knowledge is power. Thank you.
Thank you soooo much Mr. Scotty Kilmer. I do some of the work on my car. I also help others as well. The things I can't. I definitely don't. Thank you for sharing your honest expertise with the world. Continuous blessings 👍🏽👊🏽💪🏽❤️💜❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He is literally a doctor, clinician but for cars. His diagnostic skills are amazing to watch. It's great to see and hear his expertise and passion for automobiles.
It's because of Scotty that I have made it a rule every time I buy a new car for myself I would replace the alternators , spark plugs, change the oil and air filters along with other essential fluids. And even oil and water pumps.
You seem like a good man scotty. You sure know a lot about cars. I appreciate you putting these videos out there. I love to learn how to fix cars. I think youre an excellent teacher. Thanks again.

i heard he lost his car repair business
Any honest business. So many out there philosophized that cheating the people will make you wealthier, like the government.

Hope this saves someone some time and money.

Seeing the traffic in Houston brought back bad memories. I grew up in LA, but Houston traffic was the worst I'd ever been through.
Houston is either a parking lot or a speedway. Has been that way for decades. The cops will chase them so that's even more scary! Use hallways. It's safer.
Appreciate your work scotty, one of top 3 channels 🔥🔥
Real mechanicing!! this is so much better than your normal videos! I used to have a grand marquis about 30 years ago.. It had massive radiator problems but I was a dummy about cars back then and no you tube... Got robbed by four different mechanics. One guy literally took the thermostat out, chucked it into a nearby transhcan and said, "don't need that..."
Scotty, thank you so much for helping me with my problem! I had a similar issue with my Mazda6. Swapped the coils, same deal as you. Replaced plugs, viola!
I'm thinking of relocating from Africa to the US in Scotty's neighborhood specifically. I need a very reliable mechanic.
Scotty: "Here's the ignition coils. 1, 2, 3, 4"
Me: "REV UP YOUR ENGINES!!!"
In a perfect world every mechanic is like Scotty Kilmer.
"Because I've seen people do it in a hurry and then BOOOOOOOOOOM!"
Lost at it. XD
Thank you Scotty sir..fixed my 02 Escape 3.0 from this. Runns perfect.
The check engine light came back on, so that's good!
Just did this to my 97 4runner. Switched coil packs and still same cylinder. Changed the plug and that fixed it but this same thing happened about two and a half years ago with the same cylinder. Driven about 15K miles.
Found me some honest mechanics last year. I knew by the way they allowed me to watch and the way they troubleshooted my issue that they could be trusted. But I heard the mechanic mention to me afterwards that he was concerned about the misfire in #1. I blew him off but kept his observations in mind. Went home and Googled it. Ended up replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils, cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body. I also took off the intake box and the complete intake assembly and took it inside to clean it in the sink. Inside and out. Waited an hour and reinstalled everything with a new filter. No more misfire. I probably spent a $100.
finds an honest mechanic, does the work himself. what a guy
Can u do my vehicle next 😏
I’m learning so much from your videos! So thankful that you share your knowledge and experience with people like me who know little about vehicles. While I can’t do my own mechanical work, knowledge is power when I go to the shop.
Hey Scotty , miss that brown shed , but , that's progress, I hope you enjoy your new place . Keep up your great work.
They got rid of automotive class at my HS right before I became a freshman. I was mad. But now channels like this exist, and like I thought back then. I like hearing about how machines work.
Definitely wanna ask permission before putting your number one in the number two hole...
It’s easier to ask for forgiveness
Great Video Scotty....
I Have Found That When Working On Cars It Helps To Use Profanity... When Something Is Being Difficult A Few MF's ,SOB's And D's Do The Trick...
Those Profane Words Work Like Magic.
Always learning something new with Scotty. Makes me wanna work on my car.
this guy is the Uncle we all needed
Glad I found this channel
I'd love to think that Scotty attended some Star trek convention in his early days. I really really do. 🙏🙏
Thank you papa Scotty, your a mentor & teacher to so many people & help us with facts to solve problems DIY //
Hi Scotty;
I have had a coolant loss problem for several months on one of my 2000 saturn sl1's that I operate(I have 3 on the road). Car didn't have any leaks that I could find. The level in the overflow tank keep going down about a pint a week. I checked head gasket with a pressure tester. Checked the cooling system with a 15 psi pressure tester at the overflow tank.; no leaks there, either. Then one day, I was at a Turkey Hill store and left the car running. Though I would be out in a couple minutes only to find the store very busy and only one person at the checkout. 25 minutes later; I returned to the car and found a cloud of steam billowing forth from under the hood! At last!I realized that the problem was the coolant fan wasn't working! Back into The store and $24 later with a gallon of 50:50 antifreeze; I carefully returned home and checked the fan motor with a DVM. The fan was open circuit. That was the cause of my leak problem. $30 for a new one on ebay and all is well!
That green spot just signals "Scotty was here"
You dont monetize beyond TH-cam normal incentives. You only care about the information.
You have continued to show your love beyond being involved with major distribution and entertainment companies.
You inspire me greatly and I think you have inspired many people to create their own TH-cam channels
a lot of invaluable information. I like your troubleshooting based on logical procedure!
You’re my hero Scotty I’ve learned so much from you😅💯
Guess you dont need air tools when you can move that fast.
I found your YT's about a week ago. I look forward now every day, to my Teacher Mechanic Scotty's Car lessons. It's your arm activity while you're talking, that keeps my mind on task with you. I'm a grandma with 3 kids who don't fit in my 06 caddy cts, so I need to trade for more seats. Haven't gone to a car lot yet. So glad I waited, knowledge is power. Thank you.
Thank you soooo much Mr. Scotty Kilmer. I do some of the work on my car. I also help others as well. The things I can't. I definitely don't. Thank you for sharing your honest expertise with the world. Continuous blessings 👍🏽👊🏽💪🏽❤️💜❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He is literally a doctor, clinician but for cars. His diagnostic skills are amazing to watch. It's great to see and hear his expertise and passion for automobiles.
Hey Scotty big Fan From Alabama my guy 🖤💯
It's because of Scotty that I have made it a rule every time I buy a new car for myself I would replace the alternators , spark plugs, change the oil and air filters along with other essential fluids. And even oil and water pumps.
Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I roll up the Wool-o and get all schmoked up
Yea man we all need a scotty kilmer in every town. This man is awesome 👌
