I swear to God, two more month of watching this guy’s videos, I’m going to open my own car service shop. Lol!

My father was a mechanic. He passed and I quickly realized...how lucky I was not only to have an amazing father but how lucky I was I never worried about being taken advantage of by some mechanics or how I never worried about the upkeep of our cars in general. All of it... the struggle is real. Its hard to find a honest good mechanic that is truly trying to help fix your car and keep you safe. 40 Years later I finally met a good man that is very helpful and doesn't mind teaching me. But ....we are always learning right.

1 change thermostat every 4-5 yrs 2 check radiator cap, change 4-5 yrs 3 spray radiator with rubber rejuvenator AT 205 Reseal 4 clean radiator & condenser fins 5 make sure both fans run (set A/C to max & watch) 6 change coolant @ recommended interval) 7 check radiator for consistent heat with heat gun - replace if modern radiator and doesn't flush well ☺

What I like about you, Scotty, is that you are always honest and I appreciate that!

I wish I could find a mechanic like Scotty. U r the best Scotty!!

“Suddenly I’m into Golfing” image. Lmao Scotty you are the best at explaining all this while making it fun and entertaining. Best channel out there!

He needs to get insurance policy on his hands in case he loses them and can’t speak!

Scotty actually makes auto mechanics interesting. Now I will be able to sit here long enough and actually learn something... THANKS MAN!!!

As usual, Scotty is spot on. Scotty's videos should be mandatory for every high school student.

I haven't changed my coolant for 15 years, no worries though, the car hasn't started in 10 years

This man is a WISE mechanic over 50 years I have learned several tips watching him, I'm starting to pay more attention, since my cars are older.THANK YOU

Dear Scotty you saved my behind the again I had taken my vehicle to the mechanic because I had a radiator leak after I took it to the mechanic to get a fuel line replaced 7 Days Later it started leaking radiator fluid. The man said it was my water pump while I have a 2000 Intrepid. The water pump is with the timing chain. And I have been pumping money into this car because I love this car come to find out all I had was a crack in the upper part of the radiator by the hose I almostjunked my car something told me to Trace the leak lo and behold I found it. This man try to screw me over $1,235. I even told him I have some knowledge about cars I just don't have the tools or the time. Bless you Scotty you keep up the good work🤜🤛

So much mechanic wisdom. Saving engines one home at a time. You rock

Great advice! I realize just how fortunate I have been as the the last 3 cars I've owned I put over 200k miles on each, never changed a thermostat and didn't have a problem. Time to up my preventative maintenance routine as it is much better to spend a few bucks to prevent being stuck alongside the road for something so inexpensive.

Another tip for modern cars. Use distilled water or 50/50 pre-diluted mix when refilling. Using tap water with concentrate will shorten the lifespan of the coolant, and if left unmaintained for an extended amount of time, it'll start etching the aluminum inside of the engine. Eventually clogging the radiator, and eating away the surfaces near the head gasket.

Wow by far my favorite mechanic on YouTube. Thanks! Love all the creativity put into the video, keeps me hooked.

This is why I always use OE Toyota thermostats in my Land Cruiser. They're designed to fail in the open position if they ever do fail. I had one fail on me back in the late 90s, and my engine never warmed up.

You're a legend Scotty. I know more than my own qualified motor mechanic after watching your videos over the years. You're amazing.

While a car wash spray wand may not damage your radiator, using your own high pressure power washer can damage the radiator's delicate aluminum cooling fins! I know after seeing an HVAC technician's video explaining how some people damage their home air conditioner's condenser. Apparently you can use the right brush to reverse some of the damage when this happens.
