Hey Scotty what do you think about a 2013 Honda Accord Sport I saw it on Craigslist they said it is free.
i learned a technique to check for a bent valve with a piece of paper on the tail pipe. it rattles if theres a bent valve. is that accurate?
scotty lost his hair rip
Subbed your new channel when will you be doing some video scotty mate if it’s as good as this you’ll be winning lol👍🏻
thanks for the knowledge scotty
My dad watched you everyday. He used my CZcams to like and share your videos all the time. He passed away Monday. Thank you for your videos and showing him things
Awwww, my condolences. This is my very first time watching this guy. He seems to be HIGHLY informative. I feel like I learned a WEALTH of information from this one video. Your dad must have been a wise individual.
I'm really sorry to hear... my biggest condolences to you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. :(
Very sorry for your loss. :(
very sorry for your loss ;( stay strong ❤️
You’re putting the power in the people’s hands. That’s priceless Scotty.
People Power!🤘😎
i wonder if he has to duck when he drives by the dealerships
Spreading the knowledge. I wish Scotty was my uncle
This guy is stupidly dangerous.
Dude even mechanics do not this
I'm an old Air Force maintainer with eight kids, so I'm always fixing my kids' cars and their friends' cars. I truly enjoy and revere you and your show for teaching me stuff that help keep a lot of cars on the road!
Integrity, this man has integrity.
Also, I always believed he used Scott's brand mulch. This man knows quality.
I thought that this is a car
Lol
'Tegrity
I have Tegridy
Im a mechanic of almost twenty years and info like this is priceless. Thank you.
Why do mechanics rip people off 🤣 JK
Yeah man Scotty is the best. Saved me a ton of dough. Nothing wrong with my engine at all. Reflashed ecu and ran for 125k with zero probs. Then I got top dollar selling it with A: Having all paperwork. B: Steam cleaning and degreasing the engine compartment. C: I took Scotty's advice!!! HAHAHAHAH😸
Money
@@rpm4679 which guy the mechanic that left a message up top Radu?
hahaha bro shouldn't you uh
know this stuff already
I've spent most of my 65 years in the car and motorcycle business, and love how you give everyman's explanation of auto repair, not to mention showing us old dogs useful applications of new technologies. Thanks for being such a great, fun resource.
As a girl who never had a car. Family grew up on buses. I appreciate you so much
🤔
How does a female not have a car in this day and age... Ever heard of having a boyfriend???
He tells a whole story with his hands.
Yeah he's gold👍👍
I always think he must have grown up around a LOT of Italians 👌🤲🖐️👉👈☝️🤌✌️
A person once said, "if you wanna be captivating, speak with your hands"
Good to know id still be able to watch these if I was deaf
I watch him on mute
Scotty's hands keep moving even when he's sleeping.
That’s the word on the street
Negative, Scotty doesn't sleep
LOL
He’s probably sleeping now 🤣😭
g baker and
I am a Red Seal automotive service technician since 2010. Scotty is legit and I can still learn from him. Thanks for the tips Scotty! I hope computer choose me to win one of those...
Dave SL Glad to know people like you are always learning about it just as we are along the way and I have hope that this kind of thing gets passed down after Scotty is gone
I'm a home grown mechanic for my 69' Chevelle (family owned and have driven since I was 18, now I'm 62) and 48 y/o Plymouth, learned alot from Scotty's videos for my modern cars. Listening to Scotty has helped keep my childhood 1965 lawnmower running as good as new. Yes, mowing yards for money when I was in first grade, I LOVE THAT MOWER! So thanks to Scotty, it seems that mower can't wait to mow my 3/4 of an acre.
they threw away the mold when they made Scotty i watch every day he is the BEST car dude on the net.
I'm master electrician, but Scotty is training me to be a car mechanic😂
I dont trust anyone so i gotta do everything myself. God bless Scotty
I’m a master baiter and he’s helping me too!
I am a master fortnite gamer and hes helping me!!
Sounds like Scotty went to the school of “work smarter not harder “.
TaosDad31
I think mike Rowe said work smarter and work harder
He was the teacher of work work smarter school.
I’m going to an aviation mechanical school, don’t want to mention any names but man you have shown me more than all of the teachers in that school combined. Thank you for the years of knowledge. I hope you receive all the gifts you deserve. 🙏
Uhhhh, that’s a disturbing thought.
I just found Scotty 😁 yesterday, and have been BINGE watching ever since!
Lol he awesome. A mechanic that transcends beyond the "mechanic youtube community" is pretty impressive. You know how much charisma/genius it takes to do that?
Lol
Great video man, I haven’t seen my dad for years so I didn’t have a father figure to teach me about stuff like cars and it’s just nice that’s there’s a channel like yours
I'd love to see the face of a used car salesman when you whip out a meter and start running tests...would be priceless!!!
He would die lol
I've done it and they actually wont care, you being interested enough to test the car would make them happy that you're a potential customer.
Me 2 😲
scotty, is a genius!! if I've lived closer, he'd be my mechanic no questions asked..
I’ve been working in my own cars since a child, watching this guy for the last month I’ve learned and realized every little thing I did wrong or could of done differently. This man is a HUGE HELP!!!
Scotty is probably one of the best mechanics out there, he makes a seemingly complicated task a very simple one!
I 💕Scotty's computer..his brain!!
Ty ..always wanted to be a mechanic since 11...worked with my Gramps..an ACE mechanic..no computers back then. All done with hearing, sight, feel and knowledge. Miss those days .hate computers with 4 wheels.🤬
This is one of Scotty's best videos. Simple tips to save time & money.
@@sicilyny5375My dad was like that back in the day. One time his Oldsmobile was running rough. He sent my brother to the garage to get his timing light, and by the time he came back my dad had already been turning the distributor and listening. And I'll be damned if he wasn't dead nuts on with the marks! He's rolling in his grave for sure at the technology in today's cars. Back in the Day an engine swap was white a morning or an afternoon? If that! Nowadays, it's a minimum of 12 hours just to R&R an engine.
Now that's useful stuff. I wonder how many so-called mechanics have no knowledge of this kind of information.
Me
I work in the IT field. If mechanics are about the same educated as computer technicians, then hardly any of them know this, cause there are a lot of dumb professionals.
Prescriptions are more profitable than the cure.
Xandine Fathom Trust me, I know. I’m a diabetic.
@Jim Kohler ...... yes.... painfully so...
I really don’t think shady mechanics like this guy.
Nope! Thats y ppl are better off watching scotty vids and doing repairs themselves lol
They don't even know about Scotty so F them!
You are rite sir....at this point its 315 of em...lol
Lol
Especially when you present ur knowledge to ur mechanic from scotty's education they look at you like ur talking from another planet either they really don't know or they are shock that I know n don't knw how to relate
As a retired Electronics Engineering Technician I truly appreciate your skill at demonstrating electronic tests that can easily check for faulty components with minimum effort! Way Cool Scotty!
I've tinkered around on cars forever. It's kind of a hobby for me and I know a fair amount about working on them. But I'm always learning new things here watching Scotty. Another great and informative video!
Same here I've learned through trial and error for many years and I learn a lot of useful stuff from Scotty I love it
I actually found somebody on CZcams I have to listen at one time speed
Meanwhile he's 3X speed.
@Moto 90 bad life?
Lmao i never knew could do that 😆😆😆😆 I can't stop laughing. I'm cryin oh boy whew
My dude I hate when people speak slow af Hahahaha so I understand XD 😂
When I retire from the Army, it will be in Houston. Thank you for all of your selfless service by providing all of this amazing information.
Thank you Scotty for taking the time to help people with their car issues. Its not something you needed to start doing, but many including myself are very thankful you have.
I grew up with relatives that are mechanics and I still learn a ton from you Scotty. Love this channel.
Scotty reminds me of my mentor that taught me how to become a real mechanic Fritz I will never forget you “logic and leverage”
Scotty literally act's like a car is just a playground, while I am scared to touch anything I don't have to when working on it.
☝️🏾☝️🏾☝️🏾☝️🏾 same here
Stick the Tonka trucks and Erector Sets, they're more your speed.
My dad is like Scotty. Old mechanic loves Honda’s and despises Chrysler
Is chrysler neon okay?the first generation
@@amopastorcanadense no, how do people not know this....dodge is usually bad
I started with a 85 civic hatchback Si Moved to a 88 CRX Si Then a 93 Del Sol SI & today choice is..... Oh ya .... Still driving the 93 del sol 🤣

I'm studying a bachelors in electrical engineering and its always so cool to see things that relate to my major! That graphical multi-meter is so cool. I didn't know they existed.
I just watched that one and had to rewind it as i was like," what the hell did he just call that thing?!". Lol. Love this guy!
Love your videos. I've been working on cars for 50 years and still learn stuff as they change. Watching your videos give a lot of insight to easier ways to diagnose and repair issues.
Still taking me to school after all these years, thank you sir.
I would love to win this meter. I do a lot of volunteering repairs and never in my life charged a dime!
Give him Scotty
Thank you for helping people that are in need. Blessings will come to you beyond scanner tools and the like. Keep on paying it forward like Scotty. Really appreciate all of you. Hope you win the oscilloscope too. :)
@Mai Mariarti
😂😂 Empathy doesn't work anyway !
I been watching scotty for a year now. I've never seen a comment where somebody has challenged what he has said. That says something about his knowledge
@Jim Kohler sure
This dude doesn't know everything and really, he's not always correct.
I've been working on my own cars for many years now, but always learn something new with Scotty. Always appreciate the videos!
I learned how to swap out my suspension because of you Scotty. I love how much information you have obtained of your life
This is one of the best car advice videos, learned something very efficient and new , thanks S.K.!
“Knowledge is power”. Thank you for empowering us Scotty. God Bless you.
Just found this channel and I'm hooked this dude's got so much content and knowledge, 1 of my favorite channels thanks scotty
I'm glad I stumbled on your channel. Wish there were more mechanics like you willing to put themselves out there like you.
I love how Scotty shows the relatively time consuming tests in a fraction of the time using this multimeter. Great work !
I am so happy I found your channel😭❤️
Love you, Scotty. You are THE BEST !! Hope the move went smoothly and you're all settled in (more or less) in your new home. Keep up your good work. You are one in a million !
I've always had a drive to fix things myself. Thank you for your guidance! You're awesome.
Scotty, I love watching and learning from your videos. I'm an old girl and I wish my Dad could have seen your videos, I know he would have enjoyed you. Dad was an old school mechanic who mostly worked on his own trucks and tractors.Please keep on keeping on. Also the updated version of your programs is great! Thank you!
Next time I’m in Houston, I would like to visit your “garage" and buy you a cold one. Thanks for all you do.
I've been following you for years. I only know how to repair certain things because of you! Thanks!
You're quite possibly the most important auto channel on CZcams. Your advice and experience is priceless my man. God bless
More people need to watch these. So many people have no idea to do the simplest thing. They'll look at an engine & know absolutely nothing & intimidated. Then end up getting scammed or ripped off.
Krazy 80 Baby
What would really show intelligence is to NOT buy something that you are intimidated by.
@@fastinradfordable People are intimidated by changing a tire. Or their own oil or air filter. But they still need a car. I was just saying if more people watched these videos. They'd be like hmmm. That's not hard to do.
This happened to my aunt, guy wouldnt let her drive the car and the engine was basically seized...she wouldnt listen to anyone
Krazy 80 Baby exactly 👍🏾
Love your channel Scotty, I've been watching your channel for years but I still learn new tricks every time I watch a new vid! Thank you tons!
I enjoy your videos! You have a way of explaining things that is both simplified and entertaining! I have a background in mechanics, but my knowledge is antiquated from the 60s 70s, and 80s. You help clarify things I once knew but have forgotten! Plus, I enjoy your honesty! Thank You!

Scotty, you're my favorite online source for automotive knowledge. I've learned a lot from you. Thank you for the great videos and insight
We need more car doctors like Scotty! Thanks for your generosity!❤
Scotty, please move to my neighborhood in Southampton NJ, gateway to the Pinelands and Used Car heaven! We need a great, honest, and reliable mechanic like youself.
who else waited till the end to see Scotty ring the bell??? :'D
Lmao love it
Hey Scotty! Stay safe!!
thanks you too!
Sir Scott!
Your rich knowledge and down to earth attitude with a funny but clear way of explaining things is a beauty in world of CZcams! Thank you and we wish you the best!
Great Scotty when U show the use of tools with a life time experience & the tricks of the Trade.
Thank goodness Scotty Kilmer's garage is an essential business. I don't think we could survive quarantine without his videos.
I don’t learn one or two things Scotty from your videos, I learn tremendously, you make it look and sound so easy until you start doing it thanks sooooooooo much
Hey , scotty greetings from NJ, I followed you for a couple years, and I want to thank you for the great service you provide through your videos. It's helped me a lot.
Hey Scotty, it’s good to see you talk about these different tricks as I need to learn many of them as it seems like several of my vehicles are giving me a little problem here and there. One of them they’re telling me that the cylinder is bad on My truck but I think I’m going to have to watch your video a couple of times so I can understand exactly how the electrical portion works and get down the routine. Anyway I enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm I hope you have a great day and hope you keep making good videos to help us all out
Scotty I wish I had your knowledge!!My son thinks it funny when I’m watching your videos..I never miss a new video hope they continue👍

He has done a video on why not to buy used Mercedes..."electronics everywhere". Had a buddy at work that "liked" used Mercedes...he didn't get to DRIVE them much...but be kept buying them. 🤣
Great info Scotty - simple & direct as usual! 👍
as usual you give sensible advice and since you have dealt with customers all your career you know how to leave the final say so in their command with them being a little more educated in the process. not only are you articulate and down to earth but you help people learn and these days the service you perform is priceless!
Deductive reasoning at it’s finest - brilliant Scotty!
I find that most good mechanics are a little “quirky.”
.....And Scotty you’re the best!
They get quirky from having to deal with a lot of shitty engineered vehicles.
You are the best mechanic I’ve ever seen! I love how knowledgeable and honest you are! I wish all mechanics were like you! Keep up the great work!
Scotty I think you're wonderful.
This is the best mechanic advice channel, easy to understand and highly visual.
wow that’s actually the most incredible thing ive seen yet
It's amazing to see some waveform plotting from such an inexpensive device, really.
I’m really excited about Scottys Troubleshooting With The Graphing Meter lesson! I will definitely apply these newly learned principles in my troubleshooting efforts. Thanks!
So thankful you take the time to share your automotive knowledge Scotty! Good tools are definitely key to ease of doing the job right.
This has got to be one of my favourite Scotty videos, incredibly helpful advice put in a very clear and easy to understand way. Thanks Scotty.
Great mix of facts, useful info, and humor. Keep doing these and I'll keep watching.
So good listening to Scotty learning heaps. Thx
Scotty.. I love watching your videos as they are very informative to help me diagnose issues on my 2016 Escape! It has 130,000 miles and runs like a top because of how you have taught the lessons!
This is why I need a mechanic like you, Scotty, to check my cars out.
Better than "Googling" for hours trying to match symptoms. Awesome shortcuts, thanks Scotty.
Fantastic video Scotty! Sharing this video to all my friends. Going used car shopping soon, this will help alot!
I show your videos and I recommend your videos to my family and friends best honest mechanic I've ever seen in my 59 years
I really appreciate the usefulness of this video. I would love to see some graphs of cars with issues as a follow up. Thanks again for your time and expertise!
I've never known of this method. I'm definitely going to be using this!
Scott Been Watching You Videos Fir a While Now and THANK YOU for Your Hard Work And Honesty!!! Great Work We All Appreciate and Applaud You!!! Great Videos, Keep Up The Good Work!!!
Enjoy your channel Scotty, I've found you to be entertaining and educational. You've taught me quite a few things so far. Thanks, Didn't know i needed a graphing meter, but it's on my list now.
Is it me or does this guy dont age.. Looks the same when i first saw him years ago
People don't age year to year ... they age by the decade. Every ten years a difference will be noticed.
He looks older and less energetic to be honest. I watch his videos daily around 6-7 years ago. Stop watching it and watch it again recently. There are 6-7 years gap and I saw a significant difference but thanks to him, 80% of my car knowledge were coming from him. I used to know nothing about cars but now I repair all my family cars as a hobby from engine, wiring, suspension, brakes to car painting & polishing. He help to awake the sleeping tiger inside me LOL
Craig Weis kind of. But there’s a window where sh!t’s falling off of us all the time.
Haha, agreed!!😂
Illuminati👁
I got Physic Engineering degree, but my lecture never told me this stuff.
Its not new it been around for more than 40 yrs
It’s called common sense and they don’t teach that
I love to watch your videos Scotty they’re very informative but the best part of them is your honesty.!!! Thank You!!! ❤
A very knowledgeable guy! Just saved a lot of people a lot of money and got a lot of new subscribers!! Way to go!! Keep up the good work! AND thank you!!
Watching this videos keeps me from going crazy, and I learn new stuff! Thank you Scotty!
Love the videos!. Watch them when I get home from work. Always learning from these
hello and thanks!
Yo Scotty! What can I say! For years and years for a lot of people you have saved the day! True mechanic with useful info, and revealing whats really useful in the field. Shout out from the Bay Area! Peace, love, and one blood. I'm on those Mazda Miata coupes and Nissan xterra and Frontier.
Can I just say thank you to this guy because I didn't have a dad around to show me anything about cars so for this guy to do this is really appreciated.
