Scotty is the ONLY professional mechanic I've ever seen that has spent over 50 years fixing cars outside in his driveway without a lift.
😂
🤣🤣🤣😎
lots of really skilled wrenches out there that work with minimal accomodations , trust me, youd be surprised
I mean, lifts are kind of a modern thing. Plenty of dealerships and garages didn't really get mass amounts of lifts till the 1980s
Lifts are for easy way of storing cars that needs repair for big garages that have vehicles coming in frequently to save space
Been a tech (formerly called mechanic) for 45 years. Like you I've seen a lot of changes. Worked flat rate for many years, made good money as well. I'm now SEMI retired because people won't let me alone. I could still work 7 days a week if I didn't turn off my phone. Anyway just another old timer saying thanks and Happy Holidays to you and yours! Keep up the good work...
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos. When I was younger I went to my friends for advice on car repair and maintenance but after awhile, I realized they didn't know much more than I did. Good to have a seasoned pro speaking the truth.
I really appreciate you trying to help hundreds of thousands even millions of people Scotty! Over the years I've learned so much and you've given me the confidence to work on my own cars! I could really use one of those scan tools! Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
AND Since it is Mechanic Monday, Scotty is giving away his $4,300 scan tool!!! Yay!!!!
Saying NO in business will make you more money then saying YES WE CAN every day. Stick with what you do good and make money. No one can be a do it all mechanic. That's why attorneys and doctors specialize.
Jackass of all, masterb_____r of none

Hi Scotty my name is Steve, I am an auto tech and have been for a long time. Even though I have become disabled my love for getting grease under my fingernails hasn't stopped me from working in my garage on my own cars (2 classic, 2 GM special edition vehicles and 2 daily drives). LOL, plus I still have a handful of loyal customers that I fix their cars for them at my home to help them by saving them a lot of money over the local repair shops and making sure they have a car to get to work.(even if it mean getting done at 1am Monday morning. Yep, had to do that a few times.)
No matter how long you work on cars you never seem to learn everything and I love watching your videos because I do learn new things now and then and reminds me of old tricks that I forgot about. A good scan tool would be a greatly welcomed piece of equipment if I were to win. Thanks again for all the time you put into making these videos for all of us. Please don't stop any time soon.
A fellow gearhead, Steve
Thank you Scotty for all your informational videos. You’ve helped so many people save time, money, and frustration. Your definitely helping the auto repair industries name and reputation with customers. There’s so many shops that take advantage of the customers. Your videos and Podcasts give the customers of the auto repair industry knowledge and information which is so valuable, so they don’t fall victims to those auto repair shops & owners causing the industry to have a bad reputation.
Your truly making a difference with everything you do and have done.
Thank You Scotty!!!
I've gotten more use out of $70 no name scan tool than I could have imagined. It's literally saved my thousands of dollars in diagnoses fees and giving me codes that I could fix myself. Even today it's amazing how many things you can fix at home with less than $1,000 in equipment.
could you tell me which scan tool should I buy to diagnose battery light flashes on and off for a minute or two maybe 2x a week and battery is at 13.3 v and car runs great other than sporadic flashing batt light
giff74 why you brag but didn’t mention the scan tool name??

Scotty you're the best. Im more then a diy but less then a professional mechanic. I do pre buy inspections and use your information all the time. Keep up the good work
Thanks Scotty :)
Scotty how do tell a car been in a flood.
A serious question - engine oil, so many, which one is right? In my case - Norway, cold (to -30C), and occasionaly, warm (to +35C). My car is a diesel. So... 0W30? Or 0W20 - and then change to 10W40 in the spring? So many oils, so many numbers, so little want to ruin my car.
Well explained Scotty!
Hey scotty I really enjoy watching your videos.Honestly you have saved me time and money wish there's more mechanics like you.I have a 2009 handycaped accessible van that randomly dies and won't start for days can't afford to take it to the shop and pay for the scan if I could find the problem I can fix it myself. Keep up the good work your a good man GOD BLESS YOU
This is the perfect youtube site. I never miss a video and although I can't remember everything he says I can always go back and check his archives. Thanks, Scotty
Scotty must have an entire IT / production department putting together these quality videos. Never watched one that I did not learn something.
Right on lol
Those cuts are not edited. He just turns off n on the camera n do his content in one take. Minimal to no editing needed.
Hey Scotty here's a story for you. When I was 16 years old my grades were good enough for me to get into' Duel Enrollment at the local community college in Daytona Beach. Back then it was D.B.C.C. now it's Daytona State. I started the ASE Mechanical Classes, Tune up and emissions and I forget the 2nd course taught that semester. Even back in 1999/2000 my instructor a Mr. Draper said. "If you want to turn wrenches being a mechanic is not for you. Everything in these damn things are computerized." He went on saying you have to be a techie to work on a modern car and that was 18 years ago! The school had a dealer grade scanner that I forget the price, but it blew my mind! Ended up becoming a professional butcher as I found out, working on other's cars just wasn't fun like I had hoped it would be.
God bless, Merry Christmas, and keep being Awesome Mr. Kilmer!
Good for you, i heard that profession of a mechanic is one of the most stressful out there.
@@@valpanig - Loved working on cars with my Dad when I was a teen, very different working on property that's not yours! I gripe at work, but I do really enjoy the job as their is always different things to do each day keeps it varied. I just wish more Mechanics were like Scotty here, thank you for the response and Happy Holidays.
@@vulpixgrant How did you go from being interested in cars to being a butcher? Those are two very different things LOL!
@@@hamsterama- Simple, needed a job and went from working fast food to working a seafood counter. Got good evaluations, full time, 401k all before 21 years old and was moved to the meat department. Was still trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life, then my part time job ended up being a full time career. Never expected to be doing this as a living but that's where the cards fell LMFAO.
@@vulpixgrant Hah, well, as long as you enjoy your job and it has good benefits, that's all that matters! Also, butchering is a job that will never get outsourced overseas or replaced by technology!
I was at my in laws for Christmas and my brother in law introduced me to your channel. I love your energy and your wisdom! Thanks for teaching us so much about cats and the entire industry. God Bless and have a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
I'm convinced you can make everything sound plain and simple. I can learn more from you in 1 minute than Most can tech in a year... Keep it up
Scotty, the knowledge you pass on to us in repair and in business is invaluable.
The information you give On CZcams is appreciated, like using Meguiar's head light restoration kit. My head lights look better than new. The scan tool sounds like a great idea to me. Thanks Scotty.
Hey scotty as always awesome video thank you! Been a diesel Technician for 5 years now and have been doing a lot of my own repairs. Your videos have helped in more ways than one thank you!!
Hey scotty, thank you for sharing your knowledge about cars. I've seen many of your videos and thanks to them I've been able to work on my truck and help out others when they get into sticky situations.
Ive been following you for years, thanks for all the advice!! Happy New year to you and your family
I'm starting my own car repair business and your videos are a great source of information, advice and motivation. Thank you
Good advice Mr. Scotty you make feel like a professional already, never had nor see anyone explain life of machanic to the small man . God bless and keep you safe always. Thank you for what you do for us all.
I have been watching this channel for about a month and I have learned so much. Keep them coming Scotty.
Merry Christmas Scotty and the rest of the community!
Merry Christmas, from Pennsylvania! Hope you have an awesome Christmas, Scotty!
Great information as always Scotty. I've been shopping for a scan tool and your information was the most sensible advice. Thanks for all you do!
Love the videos scotty. Im a young mechanic and love watching you to learn and get different view points, tips, and tricks! Awesome!
you put energy into your good advice my brother and I like the way that you help us
Hey Scotty,
I really enjoy watching your videos....
What do you think about Blue Driver vs. Foxwell?
My brother is a mechanic and this past year he's been teaching me quite a bit while fixing my own car as things go bad on it. Hoping someday him and I can start our own shop with family and friends! A scan tool would probably make our process of trouble shooting vehicles much easier. Lol Thanks for the advice and I hope you had a great holiday.
Man, Scotty. I appreciate your videos a ton! Over this last year, your videos and tips been some of the best help I could find in working on my 2000 Accord. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to learn more about car work! 👏👏👏👏👏
As a novice, I wonder what is stopping the diy community from compiling a wiki-like database that a generic scan tool can refer to for continuously updated information and upgrades
Non Disclosure Agreements. People really SHOULD be advocating that car computers and software be OPEN and Standardized in order to facilitate repairs AND VALIDATE repairs. What if dealer just SAID he updated the software? How would you VERIFY that????
@@orbitalair2103 YES, I would buy one as an accessory for any new car I buy, for that car only. I don't need one for any other car....
The software and code is copyrighted
Yes, I was thinking that it must be possible to make a device using arduino or raspberry pi to connect to a laptop where open source software could do the analysis, if the required APIs were available.
I work for chrysler, they have a security gateway module on 2018 and above vehicles because of cars were getting hacked into. So even if you have the information on how to fix a fca vehicle, you couldn’t even access the codes in the first place
Scotty why modern cars don't just show you the code and fault on the screen? , why they just show check engine light and then you have to get a second party scanner to figure it out?
Double thumbs up for that question.....
So mechanics can get more money from you!
Right
They call it the money light for a reason!
s3xyScorp
It's got nothing to do with the mechanic, they don't make cars. It's the manufacturers that do it so they can force people to their dealers and they sell the data to consolidators that in turn sell it to Snap On, Autel etc. That's why a good comprehensive scan tool is 4 or 5k.
Nice video Scotty. I've kept up with the maintenance on my 04' Monte Carlo ss by watching alot of your videos, especially the preventative maintenance. Scan tool is my next goal.
I never stop learning something new, and your advice is something I really pay attention to.
I think you should make a yearly video with the best scan tool for the previous year. That way, mechanics can check which scan tools are the best bang for the buck, for all price ranges. As you said, some people and businesses only do general work, others to very specialized work, others businesses do everything by having a person or two for each little thing.
Nice tips, I liked your Blue Driver review as well.
I have always been interested in becoming a mechanic, and you have always been a influence and go to when I need to know ANYTHING!!!
Great information, I work at a dealership, couldn't agree more with your suggestions.
Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas 🎄 Everyone and Scotty!
Merry Christmas!

I had this happen recently, the VSA light on my 08 Odyssey came on, $200+ from the independent shops, $300+ from Honda themselves to fix. I bought a Foxwell NT510 scanner/code reader/bi-directional tool off ebay for $150 and fixed the problem myself (software error). The NT510 will only work with Hondas as that was what I had it programmed for when I bought it, I can add other car companies for $25-$35 per maker. But even if I never use it again, I saved at least $50 so I'm happy
Simple fix there - as you get new vehicles, update the scan tool for the one you have. Right now you have a Honda, so don't fix what ain't broke.
That is the plan, as long as OBD2 remains the standard. There are also a few vehicles that this thing, the NT510 just outright doesn't support. I will use it should the occasion arise that I need to.
Good to see a video on scan tools. I was considering a bi-directional scan tool, but price is an issue when it may not be a practical investment. You also need to be able to decipher the information that the scan tool reveals. A good DIYer will probably benefit from a more advanced scan tool, but you are 100% correct about the pros & cons. I have a 2011 Honda CRV & so far (8 years & counting) I have not needed my inexpensive Actron scan tool.
I love u man! U make me feel at ease because a lot of things auto mechanical are foreign to a lot of people like me because auto mechanics are so specific of education and I wanna not be afraid to understand what is going on with my vehicle! You explain it easily. You reduce the “Scare Factor” in the average car owner.thanks man!
Good information about scanning tools sir happy 🎄 Merry Christmas Sir in advance.
That makes sense. Make sure to get the right scan tool for your vehicle. With the features you need without spending too much money on features that you will never use.
Scotty, been waiting a a good video like this one. Enjoy them all but really enjoyed this one. Thanks!
Thank you Scotty! I starting sharing some of your videos because they are so informative and only 5 minutes!
Merry Christmas Scotty ! Santa does not not need to give you some new tool, you have everything already
Merry Christmas everyone! May all your cars run like a top, and all your automotive dreams come true 😉

@@sevnlight6313 I see what you mean. Researching core beliefs and traditions is always smart before doing something.
For as long as I have been working on cars, I always learn something new from this guy
I really enjoy your videos. I have a cheap scan tool that has saved me many times on my 2003 Dakota. I know that soon I'll need a better one to fix some worse problems that are coming. Thanks again!
Thanks for the info Scotty ... I’m think in investing in one I have lots of family members with issues with there vehicles... this will b great so it can help me out to help them out..thanks
Also, you can buy bootleg manufacture diagnosis software on eBay. I say that is fair since they won't sell it to non-techs. I bought Toyota Tech stream and cables off eBay (from China) for $40 that can do all the manufacture diagnostics and even program keys. I programmed my own key with it for my Lexus CT200h. I was able to turn off the seat belt chimes and edit all.kinds of options.
I'd say for a serious car guy, buy the $240 tool Scotty recommends and then get a bootleg diagnosis dealer software for your car to do everything else. The bootleg software only works for one manufacture, but the $240 scan tool can also work on friends with different cars.
Thanks Scotty, You really nailed it with this one.!! I've been needing to upgrade my cheap 12 year old OBD for a while now.
Something else though...It'd be really great if there was some sort of scan tool for pre OBD '96 vehicles. We have a 1991 Mazda MPV that the wife and I like and keep around for moving, taking the dogs to the lake, etc.. Unfortunately, it stalled out a few days ago, cranks over fine but refuses to start. So I'm back to the the old process of elimination method. Swap out relays, check fuel, check spark etc. etc. Anyhow, keep up the good work mate!
my knowledge has grown from watching your videos and i appreciate it. thank you
Hi Scotty,
Merry Christmas and happy holidays
hello and Merry Christmas!
When are you releasing the Scanny Kilmer Scan Tool?
That's a good question - many CZcamsrs have their own branded products(like the EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter and uCurrent) so Scotty should collab with one with those scan tool manufacturers to make the Scanny Kilmer scan tool.
And have Scotty put his voice in it so when you have to do work on a Mercedes Benz, the scan tool will laugh at you.

Merry Chrysler Scotty!
Love your videos! Just found your channel a while back and it's taught me so much! Happy Holidays!
Keep making these great videos Scotty. Always learning from you. Thanks for the advice.
When I asked Actron about the CP9670 about supporting 2018 vehicles:
"Only a generic scan would be possible on a 2018 vehicle. The tool has manufacturer specific coverages up to 2013 model year. A Professional scan tool would be required to have manufacturer specific coverages for a 2018 vehicle at this time."
Ivan Vojt. Yeah good point
You have update the scantools every year for new models
@@DylanL69 I have an Actron CP9580 (not the A), the last & final update was in 2012, I bought it in 2011. Manufactures tend to discontinue models along with the updates.
Most of the Chinese based cheap scan tools have lifetime updates like my Autel. It is constantly getting new updates to add newer vehicles and functions. It uses a digital firmware based system so most of the programing is on a SD card that it came with and you can use your own bigger cards to hold more data and saved tests and graphs. I would think the tool he'll give away should be similar no matter who makes it. You need to make sure whatever you buy will include lifetime updates now as cars change so fast. My old 9640b claimed to get updates too but last one was about 2012.

Appreciate the crazy stuff you come up with (below 0.3vt dc in engine coolant and the like). Your ideas are usually beyond the basics, interesting if you've had grease under your finger nails and gas on your inside forearm.
Keep up the good works - thanks.
That thing is cool. Can you do a video on using a laptop with and obd2 to USB adapter
That top end one is a laptop running Windows 10, just with either a bluetooth or wireless interface for the vehicle, probably a few that are manufacturer specific for some vehicles, and general for almost every other one.
Now I think I do need it.
Just stumbled upon your channel, hit the subscribe button and off I go. Will be spending some time watching your older stuff
I LIKE ALL YOUR VIDEOS, DOWN TO EARTH, COMMON SENSE, THANKS FOR PUTTING THESE ON CZcams FOR ALL OF US,MIKE
Merry Christmas scotty
Merry Christmas!
I need a scan tool ;) you didnt say which one... I choose the $4000 one! :D
Hopefully it comes with Scotty mode so when you scan and find a code it's says"You should have bought a Toyota". Lol
I bought the launch X431 pro mini v.3 and it does have more stuff than I will ever need, the nicest feature is that you can actuate solenoids, injectors and much more for diagnosing issues. I don’t think I save money by fixing my vehicles but I do enjoy it.
Scotty I like the way you explained the difference between those high end scan tools and verses what you really need being a DYI home mechanic. I would like to have one. Thanks for all of your great infomation.
For each brand you are better off with the dedicated scan tool. For VAG group it is vag-com or ODIS.
Rev up the $69 scan tool!
Love the channel. Just found it and have been binge watching for 2 days.
Scotty I love your videos man this actually helped me out because I'm trying to open my own shop and your wisdom of cars is being noted thank you.
None of my vehicles have an on board computer anyway. However I fail to see why there are not more open source databases and software to convert a laptop to an OBD2 scanner that can be upgraded over time. Manufacturers should not be allowed to sell cars unless the diagnostic commands are open source as the ob2 protocols.
Let's boycott all new car sales without OBDII code reading accessible on the dash. Oh yeah and a gauge that reads ATF temperature.
Scotty thank you. I do not need your videos as I live in Thailand and you do not talk about harvesters or tractors. Yet I love your videos very much. I wish you the best in 2019 and thank you again. I wish for you and your wife the best in 2019!
Alec, how is Thailand treating you? Y'all have a Merry Christmas!
@@cajunjamis9001 First a very merry Christmas to you and all around you. I love where I am living. A short answer is I avoid tourist areas though they are not bad. From a computer engineer to a operator of a tractor and rice harvester is a happy one. I lived in Canada and Switzerland then quit my job an moved to Thailand. It is great here the people are wonderful the catch is you need to adapt to the heat. Tell me about you? If you can and thank you.
Thanks for all the info regarding scanning tools, much appreciated!
Great advice, Scottie! As usual, you nailed it. As I just lost my scanner in the SW Iowa floods last spring, it sure would be an honor to win one from you. Thanks for all you do!

Scotty thanks for the great vids. Your videos have motivated me to finally work on my 2006 civic ex. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Scotty I'm a new technician from Kenya and i always watch your videos I learn alot from them
Since I've seen Scotty Kilmer first time I knew that Chuck Norris was overrated! My go-to car DIY channel. Actually, I was looking for a scan tool for my Toyota with a budget of $100. Scotty's giveaway would be a perfect Christmas gift. Regards.
Scotty....what do you think of the Blue Driver OBD2 scan tool?
He recommends BlueDriver...he made a video a while back. I have BlueDriver and it's awesome
I got one based on Scotty's review. It gets the job done and it is nice that it can do emissions checks too. It even recommends solutions; it helped me solve a cam actuator issue. My Dad likes to use it a lot though, so I may need another, ha. Pricey though at $100. If you don't already have a scanner and plan to work on your car as a hobby, I'd recommend it. I also like that since it's based on an App in your phone, you don't have to worry about your software getting old or missing updates.
Alright....appreciate the feedback....thanks
Grate Shtuffs. Plenty of information to steer me one of the two most simple-minded scanners you presented. I remember I felt great after I got my voltmeter!
Another video with very good common sense advise. Scotty, keep them coming.
Scotty you are so right on this one!

Festivus for the rest of us.
Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. It is very much appreciated. I have been looking to get a scan tool myself.
