scotty i wish you lived in cali you would be so busy because youre a honest mechanic
Scotty Kilmer Corolla 98 ✌🏻
That would be awesome considering I am working on changing my brake pads, rotors, and painting my calipers so I can show my 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL this summer.
I own a 2011 Kia Sorento 2.4L. You give great advice!
Scotty Kilmer The bozo I bought my 2008 Honda Civic Si off of didn't replace the pads after 3 of 4 calipers seized from lack of use. So go ahead and send me some new pads - before it's toooo late! ;)
I've installed these ceramic pads from akebono due to your suggestion 10 months ago. I must say these are the best pads I've ever seen! They are silent, dustfree, and they have amazing breaking capacity! The oem pads left so much dust, my wheels and calipers were always disgustingly dirty. Thanks for the tip!
The Akebono pads I installed onto my 2000 Toyota Tacoma with Brembo rotors (ordinary discs without drilled holes or slots) drastically improved brake pedal feel on the first drive. The pads are also made in USA.
I love how he laughs at his own comments. Love his advice
I actually used these on my car after a set of the worst brakes I've ever had from the auto parts store, they were hard to find online but advanced auto had them, they are awesome! No noise not a peep. Thank you so much you really helped us so much Scotty I bet these last forever
Your videos are great I’m a 20 year mechanic and your videos help me out from time to time with issues because no one knows everything unless your my manager so thanks keep up the entertaining videos
Mark labedz Steger Illinois aka rolling hard and under control
Thank you Scotty. I was just talking to my son about brake pads and he asked me about ceramic vs non metallic and I did not know the difference. Now I can show him your video. 2010 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
Akebono pads are by far the best pads (for Toyota /Lexus specifically) as a former 17 year A.S.E. certified technician, that's all we would use. Also we almost never had to warranty a set, since our brake service consisted of new rotors, and new akebono pads. The best braking experience hands down (because they're oem +spec!)
I need some new brake pads and I was just trying to decide on what type to get. Ceramic brake pads are my choice. Thanks Scotty.
Scotty never brakes, he just fixes.
Wow , so true . Reminds me of my oldest brother .
Hahaha!!!!
Hey scotty, between you and my father-in-law I've become quite the do-it-yourselfer on my 1998 Buick LeSabre custom. Thanks for doing what you do
"When I was young, we used to brake by putting our feet through the floorpan."
young mechanic!
Are you a Flintstone?
You should have used Nikebono shoes, I believe they were a available 10,000 years ago🤔
yeah I remember and to make the car go youd have to run real fast under it.
Yabba Dabba Dooooo!
Had these pads on my car for the last 4-5 years. They're great and I'm happy they have the scotty seal of approval, so when the time comes I'll buy them again.
You got a subscriber for life man your the absolute most no nonsense knowledgeable person I've never actually met but hope all is well for u Scotty and if your ever up in the northwest particularly seattle I'd be happy to buy u a beer.
Because of this suggestion by SK, I put Akebono brake pads (and new rotors) on the front of my 98 ranger about 3-4 months ago. These are the best brakes I've ever installed in 30+ yrs of working on my own cars! No dusting and they feel significantly better / firmer than the stock brakes ever did. (I completely disassemble, grease pins, & 100% flush fluid each time I do brakes. I also do the proper bedding procedure). I have an 03 Jag S-Type and will do the same to it next summer.
I am so grateful for Scotty Kilmer’s input. I ordered front wheel Akebono pads and Wagner rotors plus new hardware for my 2003 RAV4, and I’m excited to get them all put on.
I wish I could have this guy narrate every TH-cam DIY video! He is very amusing and I honestly like his attitude, made my day!
This channel is my favourite automotive channel on youtube.
I've been watching you for awhile, alot of great information. I own a 2017 Nissan Armada Sv 4x4
Very informative, educational, and entertaining. I am always checking out Scotty's channel when I need some help. Today was brake pad day. Guess I'm a few years late on a chance at free Akebono pads for my 08 Volvo S80, but I am still inclined to leave a positive comment. Thanks Scotty!
Your channel never lets me down when I need to do something to my car. Very informational and a the old school sense of humor. 2010 Honda Civic LX.
I truly enjoy your videos and they have helped me more than a number of times for me to fix my own car.
Great video. I like how you went into the history and into how the different pads work. Subscribed!
It seems the better the brake performance is the more money you'll need.
I tried a tree lately- incredible stopping power but horrible on your wallet.
I tried a guard rail and it worked like a dream plus i gained $5,000 😬
Sounds you need special guidance from Groot
Hahahaha
Best stopping power is the rear end of the car in front. hahahaha
stumbled on your channel as i was looking on something for mass air flow sensor cleaning, issues.
i absolutely know zero about cars but you taught me more in 2 videos than i had known before. thanks man and keep it up
Glad to hear it, thanks!
Scotty you're are one of the reasons I still have my truck 1997 Ford Expedition. Thank you for all that you do!
Congratulations, you have won! Email me at: scotty.mechanic@gmail.com with your full name and address, so I can mail you these Akebono brake pads! And thanks to all entrants, don't worry, there will be another giveaway this Monday!
Congrats rcfreak20! Awesome giveaway Scotty
Thank you Scotty!!! You are the man! You probably already knew that ^_^. You have made my day.
That's awesome. He helps me keep my 98 expedition running as well
That's awesome, but what I can't stand is folks that turn their driveway, street in front of their house, and across the street into a used car museum of every car they've ever owned and doesn't run anymore w/ expired inspection stickers and weeds growing out of them (like the guy a block from my house)!
When the wheels start to fall off, just donate to Goodwill and they'll come out and pick it up for free. And you get a tax write off! This rant coming from the owner of an 04 Ranger Edge w/254K and runs perfectly.
+1 on the Akebonos, I use them religiously with new Centric Standard rotors, work GREAT
I no doubt missed the "contest" mentioned in this video, but I gotta say... This is one of the best, most informative videos I've seen on TH-cam in a long, long time. Right to the point; no deadwood information; creative; humorous. Just a great communicator. I'd like to give this guy one of my sermons and have him preach for me on Sunday morning!
Scotty is always spitting that fire
I agree with scotty, I use akebono’s in my 5er and they’re incredibly good. After 30k miles they’re barely worn, only problem is the metal dust but they’re high performance ones so that’s expected.
Hi Scotty, another great video! Just getting ready to do the brake pads on my 2005 F250SD 4x4 with the 6.0l PSD. I rotated the tires a couple days ago and noticed it was time for new pads. Aekebono sounds like a good choice. Thanks for all you do, love your videos!
That's right! Don't try to save money on pads as you'll waste money on labor when you have to replace them sooner. Or, have an accident. And don't trust anyone. make sure everything is torqued correctly as mistakes happen when phone rings or other distractions occur to mechanics when they work.
@@productcheck This is definitely important. In December 2017, I had new brake pads put on my car and not long after a brake caliber bolt flew out on the freeway from my front driver-side wheel. I did not know what had happened at the time and just heard a loud metallic noise; I made it home without issue but the next day the wheel made a clanking noise and I could not back out of the driveway so the car was towed to the mechanic. There went a full day and missed work because the mechanic had to order the bolt and wait for it to come in.
I had the lower control arms redone at the same time the new pads were put in; after I had the car towed the mechanic told me he would check the lower control arm bolts for me and make sure they were tight. The mechanic obviously failed to do so because a week later I subsequently had a lower control arm bolt come undone in my car. My car became immobilized at a gas station (and thankfully not on a busy street or freeway) so it was towed 50 miles away back to the mechanic. I needed an alignment done as well. Anyway, the mechanic who did this work had his reputation in shambles by the other shop employees. One told me neither of these things should have happened.
A few years later I went back to the shop. The receptionist admitted that the mechanic who did the work on my car was fond of smoking cannabis and was quietly compelled to quit and go live with his mother in the mountain town of Big Bear, California.
Love the information Scotty, always interesting and informative. Worked in auto manufacturing for 30 years and enjoy doing my own repairs. Civic 2015.
Which brake pad brands do you recommend for civic 2013 LX? OEM or other brand? Ceramic or metallic?
This is good info, Scotty. Your videos are very helpful and I am looking into front brake pads for my (in work) Ford '61 Thunderbird. They're obviously aftermarket disc brake kits. Akebono pads will be my first choice, because of your video. Do you recommend a particular brand for rear brake shoes? All the best to you Sir, and thank you for all your helpful videos!
I am wanting to become a mechanic one day, and you just inspire me so much more! Thank you.
Scotty is like the handy, knowledgeable uncle I wished I had. The fact that he walks, shares, teaches, and fixes in my hometown of Houston, let's me know I can sleep comfortably at night.
Houston Strong!
Scott, love your videos and thanks for always sharing your great insights! I've recently had to shop for new brakes for my wife's 2016 Toyota Venza V6 AWD Limited and had such a hard time deciding on which type and which brand. After much research and watching your video, I've decided to go with the Akebono brake pads and rotors.
What is your feedback (if you can recall) ?
I really appreciate your channel. You are always interesting and you explain thing quirk accurately. Keep on keeping on! 2002 Suburban LS , 2 wheel drive. Thanks for having a contest!
Thank you for your amazing videos, i am a big fan from iraq ❤️
Scotty you are seriously the best. Thank you!
Great Scotty, Mine is a LS460, 2007. Great car! thanks for the tips and knowledge base.
Hi, Scotty! Been watching your program for quite some time now and I recommend it to all car lovers. I own a 1993 4.5L Toyota Landcruiser with a six-cylinder in-line gas engine. Great SUV for all terrain driving, but my brake pads wear out fast down here in Central America. I'm a 101st Airborne Vietnam war vet, living down here in the boonies where the jungle isn't too different from what I've experienced in SE Asia, it may even be denser. Love ya, pal! Don't ever quit!
How are the locals? Do you pay them there too?...
Loved the video! Extremely informational as always Scotty! 2007 Dodge Dakota SLT. Thank you!
Been using Akebonos ever since Scotty recommended them, great product! Thanks for the great vids Scotty.

Hey Scotty! Fantastic videos and your great energy make for a pleasurable experience. Thank you!
2003 Lincoln Navigator 2WD
Do they make a lot of dust?
Martin Godinez That's one of the best parts of Akebono pads, they have minimal to no brake dust!
Are they better then powerstop pads?
Thanks for this informative video. About 6 months ago I changed brakes and rotors on my 2012 Nissan Altima 4 cylinder and now they need to be changed again. Thanks.
I love your videos , very informative details which always helps to get the job done.
Thanks again
Awesome promotion Scotty!

Thanks for the lesson on brake pads. Didn't know that before, and am especially thankful for your recommendation on a brake pad manufacturer! (2007 Toyota Sienna, front wheel drive)
Keep your brake pads. I just appreciate your hard work in making the videos!
Put this brand on my wife's car last week. Thank you for the advice.

Perfectly timed video to watch. I'm getting ready for brakes on my 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD. Current pads dust so bad.
How are they ?
As usual, Scotty has produced another very informative video!!! Thank you Scotty!!!
I think I'm gonna take Scotty's advice on these Akebono brake pads. I think his experience and talents are worthwhile and deserve a try. I have read other reviews, and they're all good. I have a 2008 Dodge Dakota SXT with a v6, and 4 wheel drive. Keep it up Scotty!

Quincy i just put ceramic pads on my wrx, thought those have best breaking too
:D
I bought Akebono brake pads because of your suggestion and happy with them. Thank you
I'm about to buy them pads too, that company should pay him for the advertising of their pads.
@@dangda-ww7de I'm still liking mine after some time has passed
Akebono costs a little bit more.. good quality pad... and they are a OEM supplier to many Japanese cars... as well as with many parts on cars.. the manufacturers don't make many of their own parts.. they are all gotten from different suppliers.. i.e.. hoses and belts might be supplied by Gates, Dayco.. etc.. brakes from various suppliers.. Akebono, Bendix, Wagner .. etc... whoever they contract with at that time...
@@dangda-ww7de I'm sure they do plus parts for free. He's not making these videos out of the goodness of his heart. Thats how YT works.

Great, informative brake video! What would you suggest for offroad applications with wet, dry, dusty conditions?
You the man, Scotty. Thanks for the info.!
I remember organic and semi metallic. My Mazda3 came with ceramic as stock. Always used them since on all my cars.
I like it when breaks squeek, adds character
Try driving a recycling truck😑
Slide a baseball card in there and you'll activate a new motor
I've never heard squeeking breaks. But I have heard screeching brakes.
It’s like brakelights in brail
When I was racing, I used Performance Friction ‘Carbon Metallic’ pads. On the street lately I’ve also been using Akebono pads.
Great video and great information. I own a 2012 mdx. I am planning on installing the akebono pads on it. Thank you.
