Afternoon Scotty! Have a great day!
Valid salad.
scotty you dont need to retire because you get money from youtube
Just dont stop making videos
Scotty Kilmer ? it's about that time for you to start writing some books on how to fix cars step by step ? before you retire.
You're not fooling anyone Scotty everyone knows you'll never retire. Great tips though!
I retired 20 years ago , Problem is I can't find anybody to work on my, Or my friends cars, I have never been so busy😉
@@larryarcher4502 ME TOO!!
"One day when I die" - Ta
@@larryarcher4502 I REALLY need some old school advice! I've got a 2000 Buick, replaced motor 30,000 miles ago. She's not been driven much until lately so I sprung for plugs, wires, ignition coils. Very next trip over 30 miles, no buck, no hesitation, just died. Had it towed back to mechanic, scans clean. The crank sensor was changed after motor replacement so had the ignition interface replaced. She still dies, only when warm. Not running hot, fuel pressure is okay. I've been told the computer isn't sensitive enough on these models & just run it until it won't run anymore! Can't trust her though, she starts & runs after she cools off SO WTF?
I'm seeking any experience mechanics have had, this has stumped all the ones I've known. HELP!!!!
@@katiekane5247 Problem your having needs to be trouble shot at the moment it Dies, Had of Ford With a bad ignitions swich do this The thing drove every mechanic in town crazy I finally got it to do it for me And noticed it was like somebody shut the key off, The problem never showed up on a computer diagnosis!!!
You see a check engine light
Other mechanics: that’s bad
Scotty: that’s good
Cel gives you a good start position vs limiting down to a full system
"Neighbor casually walks by and sees scotty yelling at his garage door"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And............ flapping his arms.
😆😆
would it be better if he didn't move or his arms at all. that would be wiers
If they're not used to it at this point idk
16 spark plugs 😩 I’ll never complain about changing my 4 again!
12 cyl mercs are the most fun. $2000+ for plugs & wires😂
5.7 hemis have 16 plugs too, and I've changed mine twice over the years. It's not that bad
@@silkroad1201 Many V12 Mercs have 24, and since most will service at the dealer it could cost $3k++
To my knowledge there isn't an aftermarket for the wires on many of those engines so it would still be about $2K for DIY. Chrysler/Dodge was blessed with a lot of Mercedes tech during their marriage. Dual spark plugs maybe not so much, only because even supercars can get by just fine with 1 per cylinder
Mercedes M275 V12 has 24 plugs, no wires, with ridiculously delicate and expensive one piece coil modules for each cylinder bank. I'll never own one of those piles ever again. It was stupidly fast however.
I need to change 8 right now.
I wish have someone in my town like Scotty, to help me learn more about mechanic. This man deserves gold medal for what he is doing. God bless him.
He's making plenty of RUclips money. He's been blessed 😊
I wish I could carry Scotty in my handbag with me.
Maybe you can study some of Scotty's tips and be a decent mechanic at least. You might not have went too mechanic school, but, you know enough and is honest enough to get the job done, vs, someone having to break their bank to take to shop.
I'm no car guy, but I could watch Scotty diagnose and fix cars all day.
Not only is the content educational, the editing is excellent. These are high standard videos. He’s a skilled mechanic and a skilled video editor. Impressive!
Scotty is a skilled media professional as well as a skilled mechanic.
9,000 RPM's, that thing is fast.
UPSHIFT!
Even when sitting!
Hey it's Robert!!!
Too bad it is/was a common issue, my 97 SE would do the same.
@@stevet5704 no you are Steve
He has an unrelenting hatred for engine covers... Lol
And any modifications, even tho i dont really like him its weird seeing his videos slow down
An for American cars too.
Engine covers suck!
They are useless
They do absolutely nothing and only get in the way. It's beyond me why manufacturers spend the time and money, however small, to make a cover most customers won't even see.
Scotty’s biggest flex: I’m a professional mechanic that has this $5,000 scan tool.
Nah his biggest flex is his Celica
Biggest flex is the celica.
Although his views/hour ain’t nothing to sneeze at.
Arthur Ruiz Right, and his wife’s Lexus! I wonder if his wife bought a Brand New Mercedes-Benz, will Scotty file for divorce? 😂
One that he got for free
That he didn't buy
tell ya what Scotty....you be a treasure to us viewers! I have always been impressed with your no frills approach to automotive repairs, cripes you work in the driveway exposed to the elements. Hell you have no lift, you use basic handtools, not even a shop to work in. Most others have shops, tools and equipment that cost 10's of thousands of $$. You just consistently deliver sound automotive analysis and effective repairs without all the lavish tools others use. I guess you are truly the "shade tree mechanic" and a damn fine one!
4:25 I love how Scotty whispers "i hooked my $5,000 scan tool up".
“Take the stupid beauty cover off” haha that never gets old. We love you Scotty !!
I hope you change your mind and stay with us Scotty. If you leave you WILL be missed. You've helped a LOT of people learn a LOT, me being one of them. if you truly retire, I wish you and your family all the best life has to offer !! Take care and God Bless !!
I’m first watching this in 10.8.23 and he’s still doing videos 😊
DON'T talk about retiring, Scotty! We need someone we can trust...
Sure do appreciate you!
NOOOOOO!!!!! PLEASE DONT RETIRE! My son is just now learning how to work on his vehicle, well...atleast we'll have what you've taught us over the years, DAM, gonna miss you Scotty!😖😖😢❤
You need to develop a network of mechanics that are just like you in their thinking and work ethic with a shop. If they were in every town we would all be so fortunate to have good service.
3:29 Neighbor walking dog in background thinks, "there's that guy again yelling about something; better keep walking.
“First we’ll take the stupid beauty cover off!” Had me cracking up! 🤣
U must b new
"Oh look, the check engine light came back on, now we can check it.."
GOLDEN brother! 😆 😆 😆
I tried putting my #1 on the #2 hole...but got slapped!!
Haha......me too!
Scotty has way more experience then we have. He can get away with doing that.
😂
😂😂😂
Just the coil. Not the whole lead.....
Scotty for Automotives! Make Vehicles Reliable Again!
MAGA!!! Make Autos Great Again!!!😂🤑🤣😜😂
@@autojohn-pu1vf 😁He got my vote.
Highly underated , very practical, honest and quite a funny youtuber.
Would definitely want him as my mechanic!
been watching Scotty for years, and still love him.
Hey Mr Scotty! I'd like to say a big "Thank You" for all you did for us. I've been watching your videos all these years and I must admit, you saved me!
Please, DO NOT retire!!
Scotty is the Einstein of automobiles. A TRUE GOAT! Thank you Scotty! We love you sir. ❤😍🙌👏👏👏
you can tell Scottys neighbors know him so well, they dont bother to check on him while he is yelling at the garage door.... love your content Scotty...
I feel like one of Scottys future videos is going to be captioned as “if you think I’m retiring, you’re stupid” 🤣
That'll be the one where he actually retires.
Scotty turns into the hulk when it comes to beauty covers
LOL, he passionately hates them, he always throws them away.
I like how he calls the plastic covers stupid beauty things and throw em away lol you're the best scotty
Scotty,thank you for all the best you had to give.when you teach we stop look 👀 and listen,God bless you and your family,you shared your honesty and your gift of knowledge,you inspired me I just couldn’t get enough,Love You my friend,always to be remembered and never forgotten enjoy your retirement,you made the world a better place.stay safe.🥰💯🇺🇸
Damn I remember watching this guy a decade ago. He’s come a long way. He’s like me when it comes to working on cars. Surprised he hasn’t retired already, being an auto technician is hard on your body especially your hands.
I’m 21 and I already have knee problems and osteoporosis in the middle of certain fingers. I can only imagine
Scotty is a millionaire from his Viewers sending their cars to him
He makes at least a million a year on RUclips n Google had he's net worth at 15million...but at age 68 Scotty can't let go of he's love for fixing cars. He loves what he does n that's hard to find in life.
No. If anything is similar, it is you that is similar to Scotty.
As Scotty said before he not only does this because he enjoys it but because it keeps him up and moving
I love Scotty's videos. His cadence of speech, teaching methods, editing, quality useful content and sense of humor keep me coming back... 💜💋💜
As long as the Celica runs you shall too, Scotty! Never retire
That celiac left a puddle of oil in my driveway -.- hate that car
Let him retire, give em a break
Wish I could work with him and learn everything he knows .
“If Scotty is talking, his arms are moving”
I noticed that other former TV hosts also explain things like how Scotty does. 😅
Well, Scotty had a show. 🤷
Well you are right about his arms he surely doesn't have to exercise!
Good mechanics are some of the most logical people in the world.
He´s an engineer after all. And one with a lot of experience.
Scotty's, car fix'n secrets and comedy hour. You sir are a Priceless National Treasure. My hat's off. ~ your neighbor
Wow, are you actually his neighbor?
No dont retire. These are the best fix it videos, awsome sense of humor. Thank you Mr. Scotty.
I love when he was test driving the Nissan and the tachometer was flipping out. 🤣
I live to watch Scotty's videos and learn about car problems and solutions.
Scotty's workbench when he's doing the mass airflow sensor is a trash bin. You are so frugal I love it
If the parts are made in China might as well be close to the trash bin. 🤣😋
I really admire people who know their stuff when it comes to fixing cars...because it's not easy and its very valuable knowledge
Scotty you'll never retire this is what you love to do it's your career and happiness.. by the way how's the new shop and home doing especially the site with new people treating you ? great I hope and bro happy holidays
Scotty you help me so much I only wish you prosperity and abundance and Great health . You are an absolute blessing 🙏🏻🤴🏼♥️
You wont retire and you will stay as alive forever because we need you
Found your videos at your retirement but still glad I did, been a lot of help. Enjoy your retirement and much appreciation.
Excellent diagnostic especially with using you head about the main areas that cause instability with car ignitions. I remember having a 93' Ford explorer (tank) years ago had the fewest problems of any vehicle I ever had but I accidentally cracked the mass air flow sensor on top tapping it too hard. So after it running like a James bond getaway truck with smoke barreling out of it I had it replaced and it ran super once again. Keeping up with simple maintenance rides you of headaches on even these fantastic reliable vehicles for sure.
The rpm gauge on that Nissan 😂💯
Yes sir. I bet most viewers noticed it. Obviously not a priority for the customer. And it might be super expensive to fix with the car not being worth the expense.
It happened to my 95 maxima and yeeeah it’s a bit too pricey for a 20+ old car 😂
00:56
Scotty flipping off the ignition coils. LOL
6:12
Love your style Scotty, you've helped a lot of people with these videos." You're the man" 💪👊✌️
Sometimes with simple things, doing by yourself, you can fix a "big" problem. Once I changed the spark plugs on a Toyota Rav 4 with 180.000 kilometers and I think that anybody had been changed them ever, because it wasted a lot of gasoline. Great videos!!!
I DIY everything I own from excavators to Dozers down to my mower. Your tip on the AT- 205 RE-SEAL was brilliant used it on seals alot but never thought about suspension bushings on my personal vehicles .... Your my f'n hero. Thank you so much, you have no idea brother
Scotty I’m in my thirties and just now realizing how into cars I am, your are my teacher. So u can’t retire lol
Don’t retire! Your channel is too fun and informative
I can’t be the only one who lost it at “and we put no. 1 in the no. 2 hole” 1:39
😂
Heshan Unamboowe The #1 should always try the #2 to hole at least once 😂
@@christophercrouch1254
Some run really well like that at times.
I know mine does.
It's to make sure that the core packs, are still good. Other words your testing the core packs. We mechanics do it all the time
That's what she said
I appreciate all your advice, and the amount of work you've put into these videos over the years Scotty, but when you retire you could be a comedian, because you constantly make me laugh just listening to you, and your hand movements are great, and they explained the bits of the videos I didn't understand.
Stay Safe Sir.
I feel like this is the first time it was ever anything BUT a bad ignition coil, lol. I was actually surprised when the misfire didn’t follow the part swap.
Green sticker on the coil, tells me someone already had a crack at this
Great simple tips there. And best of all, USEFUL tips!! Never retire, Scotty!!
Scotty, is funny and serious and that is so entertaining.
New vehicles sure have a lot of plastic parts! Excellent video Scotty.
thank you scotty, greetings from austria!
hello!
You ALWAYS want to be lined up with the hole whether it's #1 or #2. Proper alignment assures the best results! 😉👍
Everything goes so easy for Scotty. I can’t take my air box apart without swearing
I know what you mean. There are days it seems like I could just pull the oil dipstick and draw blood.
Scotty, quite honestly, what is the best scan tool for a backyard mechanic to keep up with our older vehicles? 2002 Suburban, hopefully upgrading to a Toyota Sequoya next year. Keeping the Sub, that's going to stay filled with gear for camping/fishing the BWCA. Oh, small game season opened a few days ago. Time to fill the freezer with tree rats.
OMG I made this comment before I even watched the video. In the 70's on C141s, we swapped pilot/copilot avionics all the time to see if the problem followed the component. Oh, by the way, when did the (insert politically incorrect statement or curse word) morons take over Texas? Even that knob Jesse got rid of that crap in MN years ago. Run for office in LaLa land, oh, I mean Austin.
Scotty we need you, even after you're long gone we will still need your videos!! So I hope you have some plan and have prerecorded videos for the future. Selfish but idc your videos are that helpful
Been seeing Scotty for decades on TV news. He used to be pretty subdued, but after all this time in Houston, he's telling us how he really feels. I'd like to know how many people he had to break the bad news to, that they bought a cleaned up flood car and it's always going to have problems.
Only a mechanic would say "I hooked up my 5000 dollar diagnostic set to read the computer and it came up with 56 codes. No big deal because they don't affect the engine." Absolutely love how Scottys explanations are laid back and not stressful
Thank you sir.
Congrats to all 20 people that were first, very awesome achievement.
This is what's wrong with public school these days.
You Tube must be slow on the West Coast showed zero views when I clicked on lol
FIRST
Fourth😢
PupuTheMonkey what?😂
I've seen a lot of people in Tennessee that could use a beauty cover. Leave it on Scotty, leave it on
If one’s bad, change them all that way when you get another misfire on a different cylinder you can be reminded, DONT FIX IT IF IT AINT BROKE!
I have been self educating myself on auto repair for the past few months and i would be much worse off if not for you Scotty. You are very straight forward and talk facts with your audience. I have a 2000 ford ranger (3.0/V6) and it's idle has been rough. The guy at autozone told me it was my erg valve pressure sensor (which they tried to sell to me on the spot for $90.00) so i did my homework. I figured out that it could be that or the vacuum hoses attached to the part. It could even be a mucked up idle air intake valve. What i am trying to say is that your videos gave me a sense of confidence in learning about my vehicle and what to expect in certain situations/conditions. I also figured out from watching your videos that i dont have to pay $90.00 at autozone when i LITERALLY found the same part online for around $26.00. I have one video recommendation though, i think many others would benefit from hearing your thoughts on reputable online car part markets. I want to make sure that i am buying from a reliable source and for fair prices and i have a feeling you would know better than I 😂
11:42 "first thing, slip it over rubber" :D

I'm so glad there is no emission test in my state.
Me too! I would probably be arrested for driving my 89 ford diesel. I don't bother fixing leaks so that it doesn't rust ;)
@Mr602 Florida,although when I lived in Virginia they had no emissions either in that part of the state i lived in..
I've been working on cars for 20 years and this guy is amazingly smart.
U should still make videos periodically, whenever u feel like it. Meaning after your retirement, still like the insight you provide and always room to learn more!
Scotty doing extended videos during these trying times, a true Mensch!!!
When you are doing maintenance on a Mercedes, everything is double...double the work, double the parts, and double the price.🤩🤩
I think Mercedes built that engine off a WWII aircraft engine design, when they use two spark plugs and ignition coils (magnetos on older ones) for reliability.
And it drives twice as well as a Toyota
@@rwd323 lol
@@rwd323 haha well they'd wanna have some benefit. They cost a fortune to buy new, own and maintain.
@@rwd323 Toyotas are more reliable than that endless money pit Mercedes. The old Mercedes sure after year 2005 they are worthless. Even Scotty knows that Toyota #1 for realiability, comfort. Toyota is like a good dog that never leaves or side.
Thank you Scotty for your experience and dedication to helping us peons trying to maintain our vehicles. Problem removing main pulley to replace main seal. Tried everything.
Scotty man you've been an inspiration helpful to do many. You do the work it's what is important it's what counts.
The past year I was going though crap and got depressed. I dropped your channel thinking I can't even get my life straighten enough to buy a car and insurance. I'm still not there on track yet . But I calmed down some since then. I still got day I put my hands to the sky. But tonight I saw this video and it came flooding back to me your a true one of a kind thanks for doing what ya do. It's great 😊. And when ya do retire. You've earned the respect of so many. legendary. Respect. Good works.
You're really cool Mr. Scotty. I'm from India and maybe a few years away from buying my first car, but ever since I've been watching your videos I've been studying the car market here and recommending... only Toyota basically... to anyone I can! (And Lexus). I can't wait for your next Video!
The tachometer at 14:02
As a lifetime auto mechanic, I can recall when changing spark plugs every 10K was the norm. Now, I have a boat, a pick up, two cars and two motorcycles and can't recall when I last changed spark plugs on anything....although I do keep a vehicle log. When gas was leaded, lead would actually deposit along the inside of the spark plug, and instead of jumping the gap, the spark would follow the path of least resistance and the cylinder would misfire, but that is almost unheard of these days.
Lead-fouled plugs. Ah, the good old days.
@@scootypuffjr. Yes. Now all we have to be conerned about is the befouling of the strontium coated X3 drives of our long range interstellar cruisers.

Scotty is the George Burns of auto repair. At 100, Scotty will be in his driveway saying, "I've been a professional mechanic for 86 years..."

Scotty, I have learned so much about cars from your channel.....take care, God Bless, and enjoy your retirement!!! You've earned it......😏
