I recommend a video explaining to people how AC/and Cooling systems are sealed systems and no such thing as a top up. If they are low, there is a fault in the system. Great to explain because people selling cars advertise, it just needs a top up. When in fact there is a leak that requires repair and it could be very very costly ( ie; compressor leaking, or internal head gasket leaking).

Scotty knows his stuff! Surprised me with the overwhelming theme of "scamming mechanics". I've been turning wrenches since 1999 and I have never ripped a customer off. Ironically, people often go to dealerships to avoid being ripped off. However, you are far more likely to be scammed by the dealers than independent shops.

You're right, my a/c recently had problem, blowing warm air on one side and cold on another. One garage quoted me $1000, dealer quoted me $1200 and up. There is no codes, no leak, compressor working, all actuator working... etc. They said I have to replace the evaporator unit which includes the mixer and the heater. I took the car back and checked everything myself, and I found the evaporator sensor is reading zero to negative even the a/c is off, so I replaced the $40 sensor and everything is working again.

Been a mechanic for 25 years (Industrial Millwright) and working on my own cars has shown me that the car makers really DON'T want you to do your own repairs. Everything is designed to hinder you from doing anything. Simply trying to replace your battery and you are presented with a fastener designed to not release when you undo it to take out the battery. Many fasteners are designed in such a way or are part of a design to try to stop you from undoing them. Pollution devices are also mounted similarly. The brake rotors are held onto the hub with screws that are too long and are exposed to the elements so that they will corrode over time and be very difficult to remove with normal tools. Most times an impact wrench must be used to remove these screws which actually have no reason to be there for your brakes to be properly functioning. I took these screws out and threw them away. They are used to hold the rotors on in the factory when the car is being built. Only one screw is needed for this purpose. On later models, there are 2 screws used. This makes it twice as hard to do as now there are 2 screws that must be removed before the rotor can be removed. I can see in the future, 5 screws being used to make your life even that more difficult. It only gets worse over time, then the government gets involved ! Say goodbye to your freedom and pay cheque.

The screws on brake rotor (corrode or not) just need a flat screwdriver + taps by a small hammer, maybe some crc and then loose it before you put the piston backs (brake pads will held the rotor and help to undo the screw). Works for me everytimes...with loads of cars : bmw, mer, maserati, toytota, honda...so on. I don't even have the tool calls brake pad spreader to push piston back, use the big multi grip most of the time (unless screw in piston)... I don't get what you mean about battery, but I do have the hard time to change the battery on.....um cannot remember maybe peugeot, or lift up the f... heavy battery deadly deep inside chassic of Land Rover.

I’m glad I discovered this man’s channel. :) It so sad that mechanics take advantage of people’s ignorance when it comes to fixing their car, and charge them a very unjust price, even adding in unnecessary charges, or just flat-out lie about x, y, and z that needs to get fixed! Those folks have it coming to them, ladies and gentlemen.

Another thing that Scotty didn't mention is change your timing belt every 80,000 miles, especially on cars with Interference Engines which could brake a piston or most likey bent your valves. You will save a lot of 💰 if you do this on time. Also rotate your tires every 7,000 miles at least, your tires will last longer. Also put gas to your car and do not run your car with low in gas. That can damage your gas pump which most cars, mechanics has to take the tank out of the car and labor will be extremely high.

I am a Toyota expert technician. I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. Maint req light IS ONLY related to oil change interval. If someone says or thinks otherwise, they are the fool. About the check engine, ABS, and trac lights... I have a problem with one aspect of what you said. The ABS and traction control DO NOT turn off just because the lights come on. Those lights only come on to help alert you to the presence of the check engine light. A dealership should never be dumb enough to sell you ABS diag or repairs with this scenario. That being said, service writers are not mechanics and don’t know all that your mechanic knows. Everyone should have a mechanic friend with some real knowledge of systems that can help them keep from being taken advantage of. Good luck all!!

Since having the car in 2012 I have consistently run Lucas fuel additive that acts as an upper cylinder lubricant and I can say with 100% honesty that the car has not lost one ounce of throttle response. Runs like a top! The additive really does creat a cushion at the valve seat so you really keep the motor running strong. I swear by the stuff and thank you for all the knowledge you share, Scotty! 👍🏻

When I was a service writer at WalMart, I took charge of the battery department, with a goal of learning everything I could, about batteries. When replacing or prorating, your best proof for battery warranty is your receipt, of course. They may want to put your warranty receipt in a plastic pouch on the battery. DON’T DO THAT. WalMart receipt paper is thermal printing paper, not ink based. Engine compartment heat can make it unreadable! If you have no paperwork, the next thing they will go by, is the shipping date sticker on the battery. If that is missing, you will have to use the manufacture date on the battery. Batteries are often not open dated like food products, so you may need to Google for the code, and you may have trouble getting clueless management to accept your proof.

Always find a GOOD mechanic who is honest. There are a bunch of honest mechanics who don't know what they are doing and they think it is one problem but it isn't. And also there are mechanics who screw people over. I am neither of those. I try to teach people about their car like this guy is doing g. That way, whenever they bring it back to me they trust me and they can understand what I am telling them more. And if somebody comes in with an engine light on for an evap leak I ALWAYS check their gas cap and tighten it, then clear the light and tell them if it comes back on then come back and see me and then I'll check it out further. But I ain't ganna charge anybody for a loose gas cap or a bad gas cap. That's just wrong

when I was 16 and knew nothing about cars, I took my car in for one of those "free" brake inspections. They told me that I needed new pads and new calipers because the calipers were stuck out too far. Not knowing any better, I paid for the repair. Later I learned that you always have to press the caliper back in when replacing pads and that is completely normal and doesn't require new calipers. That motivated me to learn as much about cars and do as much of my own repairs as I could. ~34 years later I've become a pretty good DIY "mechanic"

Another example, I have a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee which had an electrical short causing right rear turn signal to not work. The short was caused by turn signal wires that were set too close to driver's side exhaust header which caused a 'control module' to short out. Chrysler told me a new one with installation was about $800.00 because only "they" could reprogram it. After researching online, I simply purchased a used TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) online for about $100 and I removed the defective one and installed the used one. I then simply turned ignition key to the 'on' power position without starting car for about 12 seconds, turned key off and then started car. Rear turn lights worked perfect including driver's side headlights which were also malfunctioning because of defective power module. Scotty's videos gave me the confidence that I could research and complete certain repair work myself and I no longer 'panic' whenever there is a mechanical issue with my vehicles. Never accept that every repair job has to be done by a "mechanic" or "stealership". You would be amazed by how much you can do yourself...

The OIL and ALT light come on in my old Mustang every time I get in it and start it up. Haha. And sometimes the oil light will stay on for a few seconds after startup, so its great having a gauge to tell you what the real oil pressure is.
