Savage Scotty? I'm so going to miss those fancy parties!

It was a "contactless" inspection - they didn't even touch it.

I like when smart Hoovie shows up from time to time. We all know he’s no fool.

A good and honest mechanic is worth his weight in gold. Every car guy should take the time to develop a solid relationship with one. And they're out there! Typically not found in a dealership though.

Moral of the story: Do not buy an exotic and/or special car unless you live near a car wizard.

There is so much value in finding a mechanic you trust, that can talk to you about the issues.

I really like when bigger KZfaqrs are giving honest information. Hoovie could have been paid to say that dealer was amazing. But since hoovie is an honest man and won’t lie to his viewers he did the right thing. Wish more people did this........

I don’t trust dealer repairs anymore. Took my work van to a Chevy dealer once to get some stuff done. After I drove out of the service parking lot the van wouldn’t shift into 3rd gear. Turned around (drove like 500 feet), went into the office and they told me I have to schedule an appointment and pay $150 up front JUST for diagnostics. Long story short went to private mechanic apparently they disconnected a transmission sensor and acted like they didn’t know anything.

"I might have burned a bridge there!" Yeah, I'd say that's an understatement.

THIS is a sub-par car dealership, and today I’m going to take you on a tour of all its quirks and features, then get blacklisted from it, and give it a Hoov score

The dealer lowballed the estimate to get hoovie to agree to the repair, then they would add the other repairs while in the shop and push the job to 10grand or more!

BMW of Manhattan did the exact same thing to me when I initially got my V12 760li and took it in for their analysis - their estimate of repairs was $12,400! Local shop fixed everything for a couple grand.

Props to standing up and keeping your dignity Hoovie! Sounds like this group either won't be in business much longer or will get gobbled up by Penske or AutoNation.

It's odd to hear him say he got lucky with a car purchase.

You must have only paid for the strip club inspection: eyes on, hands off.

A good mechanic/technician are getting harder to find. The Wizard seems to be very knowledgeable and very affordable compared to dealership prices. He's also thorough and honest. You better keep him around and slip him a decent Christmas bonus!

Ironic when the dealer doesn't even bother trying to screw you.

Anyone who has access to a great tech like the car wizard should never go to a stealership. Nice Porsche by the way!

I guarantee you they didn’t jack that car up at the dealer.

He’s so used to high mechanic bills, he gets angry when it’s too low

I have never loved my Corolla so much as I do after watching this.

the mutual respect and trust hoovie and the wizard have for each other is so wholesome...

For the "dumbest auto channel on KZfaq", this is by far the most intelligent video you have made.

I hope more fine mechanics like this one is out there for the enthusiasts who care and love their cars! Keep it up and thx guys!

Dude, just drop the top and enjoy your ride as is. A convertible on a great day is a joy ride no matter what the car. The Wizard is on top of his game. This guy is a gem!

Porsche Dealer: I can't find anything wrong whit the suspension on Hoovies 911! Car Wizzard: Hold my beard...

My old man used to say, "when you find a good mechanic, you find a good friend" , fortunately I have found my good friend. And it looks like you have found it too..

When I was a insurance adjuster, I found most dealer service centers didnt want to even bother with vehicles unless it was warranty repair. That's probably why you got the dealer inspection shaft. Totaling your vehicle becomes paramount to make you go away.

Bottom line: find a good independent mechanic you can trust. I am SO glad I did that a few years back. Best decision going forward with my cars.

Being from Minnesota, as soon as he started bad mouthing the new owners, I knew it had to be Walser. Looked online, yep it's Walser.

It’s the first time I see Hoovie legitimately upset over something

Thanks for the great, educational video. I have noticed the same things with the local Porsche dealer. Those parts are quite often ”rare” and not in the warehouse right now and naturally have to be ordered outboard. Which was expensive. The situation suddenly changed when another company started offering Porsche parts and maintenance.

Also consider replacing the infamous IMS (intermediate shaft) bearing if this has not been done. M96 motors are prone to this bearing failing. This car is high mileage, so this should be done if it hasn't been already. Use compressed air to blow out the radiators. If you are going to track the car, consider a deep sump or Accusump to protect the motor. Also, if you are a serious track guy, consider a Motorsports AOS (air-oil separator). I personally use Castrol 5W-40 Edge in my street Porsches with very good luck. Stay away from that "other" oil if possible. Then go have fun and tear it up!

10:25 “can you see the vibration” bruh look at the sun visors

Hoovie: "I don't want to bash them too much" Wiz: "Stripped out oil drain plug" Me, an ex apprentice tech: "Stop, they're already dead"

It really sucks for someone who is basing their purchase on a ppi. I paid for a ppi for my 996 and it also had very little "wrong" but after getting it realized It needed front suspension and a few other things that were never told to me. Good episode!

Love the rant. Love the Wizard. Now bring it to your Porsche-collector friends' mechanic for his Post Purchase Inspection!

TOP 10 OVERPOWERED PEOPLE AFTER BEING ANGERED 1. tyler hoover

I really like how you put everything in one video, a lot of youtubers would split both inspections into separate videos

Your high-pitched soundtrack reminds me of my childhood watching anime and old movies. I guess thats good. It brings back not just memories but also emotions.

Good video! As a tech in the industry, I like to hear the truth about some service shops, good or bad. Keep it up!

Most of us know the game... A regular Joe walks into a Service Dealer and wants an inspection on an older "new purchase". They see that you never been to their dealership and they want to make a lifelong customer. They give you a "Good Report" and you gladly agree to get your car up-to-date according to dealer specs.They clean it and hand you a PAID invoice with the Luxury dealerships Logo on it.You take your car home and you start noticing the same sounds,creeks etc.You take it back and they tell you that so and so needs to be replaced.You ask them why they didn't catch it the first time and they just give you that sad look .They will help you out on the price because you already spend thousands and they also give you a very nice rental car. They start fixing it again and thats when you get a call that they found a critical issue that must be addressed urgently. They can't help you on the price because the parts are OEM and there is no wiggle room here.You don't mine too much because you will get to keep their expensive rental for "free" for awhile and the dealership, out of the goodness of their heart, will help out with the labor since the car is already on the rack. You take the car home and notice other things, noises etc. This is the game ladies and gents.They play it every single day.

Hoovie: “oh, I don’t wanna bash them too much” Also Hoovie: *has spent last 15 minutes of video destroying the dealer’s reputation* 😂

My deepest condolences to you Tyler I hope you an your family will get through this

I had a PPI done at a Porsche dealership here in Germany a few years ago. I think the hourly rate was actually cheaper, but still very much on the high end. I am in no way a mechanic so I wanted to have a professional take a look at it. Also the asking price was quite an incestment for me, so I asked to go in the garage to have a look mysself. I knew I would not spot anything that wasn't glaringly obvious, but I also knew I would be angry at myself if I spent that much money and there was something obvious I could have seen. When I came in, the mechanic was just about to lower the car from the stand again as he was just finished. I told him I would like to have a look myself, we went from front to back, he said something like the suspension parts look good and I just took his word for it, other then rattling at some things and probably look stupid I would not have known what to do anyway. He said the car was basicly fine for its age. When we came to the back I noticed quite a bit of oil on one side of the engine. I asked "Where is the oil coming from?" to which he replied "What oil?" One side of the exhaust system was comletely covered in it, I thought the guy was joking. He was not, "Oh I missed that"... I mean finding out where it was actually coming from was probably more work than I paid for, but not noticing it at all, the guy did not even look. There were some other small issues with the car, but mostly I did not trust the dealerships oppinion after that so I did not buy the car. Yes, I wanted to buy a used car from a private guy, and just went to the dealership for an inspection. Since I did not live there it was also clear I would not have any future work done there. But paying over 100€ for about 1 hour work that should not matter, for that price do a good job or do not offer the service in the first place.

they probably undercut the inspection to get you in the door then once they started working on it they would drop the bomb and say now it needs all this stuff fixed

The dealership knows they are clowned on and despised, they don’t care lol.

Totally digging the 80's private investigator/detective soundtrack during the driving scenes.

Lol dealership doesn’t find enough wrong with hoovie car. Hoovie: ok I’m just gonna rant, tells all the bad things that have happened to all his friends haha dam hoovie went in!

The reason I became a tech myself was partly because I found most techs were useless. The old saying `if you want something done right, do it yourself` rings true in so many situations.

Thanks for re-confirming the facts :) Nothing better than a good trustworthy mechanic. I have 2 of those.

Dealer: Treat it as a lease we’ll buy it back at this value Relative: Okay Everyone Else: You got this agreement in a contract, right?

When the smartest guy in the room pretends to be dumb because he's playing a character.

Extremely impressed with the car wizards reasonable prices and thoroughness, so much clearer than dealing with dealers holy cow

hoovie the only person who mad that their repair estimate wasnt high enough. I would have shat my pants with a 7k repair bill

Just found your videos, and this one made me subscribe. Great content with the wizard! Keep it up!

“I might have burned a bridge there” lmao, yes, you may have. Seems as though it was a bridge that needed burning though.

Interesting seeing a case of investigative journalism for once. Good job! That's real journalism right there.

Brilliantly executed vid, with a simple theme. A subject which many are aware of, but which does no harm to remind us of periodically. Thank you :)

I've never expected different from any dealership. Top dollar for top level incompetence. I'm not a professional mechanic, but a professional musician and trusting a big dealership is like thinking you're going to go into a Guitar Center and buy something that's not broken. Just the way it is. Always a smaller, more financially sound, competent, knowledgeable and CARING solution out there than the big jerk offs. Thankful I have some great indy's around me, but shops that don't know what OEM stands for, or how to do a google search and read a forum have happily got me into what diy's I can handle. I'm very grateful for that, otherwise may not have grown the balls to do it. Indeed, they failed but Hoovie you WON!!

We may not have car wizards but I can assure you my new to me, 15 yr old Aston that I payed under $30k for, will never see an Aston dealership.

Porsche mechanic: Lost my job today. Friend: oh damn!! Bloody corona virus !! Porsche mechanic No, Hoovie.

For a man with yachts, planes and private islands, courtesy of Tyler, the Wizard appears to be like a regular mechanic and quite down to earth.

Standard market targeting for dealerships like these: people who unknowingly pay their ridiculous prices for vehicles.

10:49 When GM has better tech service than Porsche. As a Chevy guy even I think that’s ridiculous.

The wizard saying “uh oh” with a little grin made me bust out laughing.

Well done Mr Wizard. When I first started watching this channel 18 months or so back, I thought you charged him a lot, for someone who gave you all his work without looking elsewhere. I was wrong. If you have an honest mechanic that you can trust, it's worth everything. Keep safe.

Great video! Dealer pricing and quality of service has gotten so out of hand! They easily will charge double for service with no additional benefit. I’m now all about finding a good independent mechanic and sticking with them.

I've been in the industry for a decade and I can confidently say there are still far too many dealers like this. Thank you for putting this one on blast for this inexcusable mentality.

This is the angriest I've ever seen Hoovie

I will drive to Kansas for my Porsche work. What I know about Hoovie is his he is particular and opinionated. How much more precious can this be? Good presentation !

Gotta love the brand image thing, that whole approach looks pretty much identical to every other Mini, BMW and Porsche dealership in the world!

The best automotive channel on KZfaq actually

This brings back the joy I felt when you used to have the Apollo 911

Your rear window had the exact same problem as mine and it's kind of an s.o.b. to get out and put it back together. You can buy the rebuild kit for both rear windows on eBay for like $160

Awesome videos. Looks you have a ton I have to catch up on. We love what you do. Right now we are building a Jeep Wrangler on our page. Unsure which vehicle next. We have many

This is a really great advertisement for going to a great local trusted mechanic over the dealer :)

Anyone still wanna complain that the Wizard is overcharging? :D Judging from the look of the place, these guys must be an authorized dealership, right? I wonder what Porsche or Porsche USA would have to say about their work philosophy. Not even being able or willing to hand a customer a professional, typo-free estimate with all sums done should be reason enough for the company to bring out their version of a dunce cap and to force these guys to get their act together.

Mad props to Hoovie for doing this!

Love the Porsche content on the channel.

Hoovie's real plan: "I should of got this inspected before I bought, but didn't cause I wanted content." Works for me!

While I was growing up in northern Oklahoma back in the '70-'89' time frame...the whole family would rather go to Wichita then OKC...so much has changed...lol Great job on a nice Porsche. For anyone reading this (yes...that means you too): I hope you have a great day & be safe.

I've realized Tyler is becoming a bizzaro world version of Harry's Garage

Well said, and well done. Never had too much experience with PoW, but BMW of Wichita has gone so far downhill from when it was Joe Self compared to Walser. Family has gone elsewhere out of town for new purchases/leases.

"WALSER!" There, I said it. Thanks, Tyler, for another honest, no punches pulled review! Stay safe and keep 'em coming!

Support small businesses, Hoovie bring it to wizard!

You are too funny! Made me laugh! Thanks!. I just bought a 2000 Porsche identical to yours. I had it inspected at a local “European imports” type shop. $190, minimal details. They told me that I needed a new air filter (it was new changed by me 2 days before) so clearly they didn’t even look, $1100 for the front brakes, $1100 to change ignition coils and spark plugs and $160 to “degrease” the engine because there is a tiny area near the oil filter that is dirty.

I've been driving Porsches for 40 years! I learned early to do my own work. For the big stuff, I found a private Porsche mechanic . Saved TONS of money! And had a great friendship!!

It’s sad that I live in NC, and know exactly what dealer you’re talking about. I have my own story about that place, but will refrain from sharing so I don’t get angry all over again.

Tyler Hoover recieves 7 grand repair bill. HOW DARE YOU!!! UNDERCHARGE ME

This is why I love this channel

I'm glad you took it because it's entertaining for us.

It is so cool when Hoovie and Doug nerd out on auto industry stuff.

Wow, $193 for a bad inspection. The dealership should watch this video.

I recently purchased a cayman and had the inspection done at the Porsche dealership and they missed just about everything as well. Their prices were insane too. This was on the east coast. Glad I found a nice local place.

This passion of yours. I love it.

I felt really immersed when hoovie asked me if i was shaking lol

Service Manager: “that’s that Hoovie guy, he ain’t gonna fix anything so glance at the car and kick it out of the door!”

This video underscores why I try to do as much of my own maintenance as I possibly can on my vehicles. Dealer visits are a last ditch effort to save me from having to replace a car...or get a recall done.

I envy having a Car Wizard on call. There's nobody that competent or honest here.
