The most helpful mechanic on YouTube i have ever seen. Insightful on all mechanical issues, knowledgeable on products regarding vehicles, and you thoroughly explain what the problem is. On top of that, you legitimately have a passion for what you do. Thank you. 10/10

I love how Scotty gets sweatier with every scene

I love your short diagnosis videos. Fixing what's broken isn't too terribly difficult, but diagnosing issues can be a nightmare.

Please never change! So much action in three minutes :0!

Did you just lowkey teach me how to hotwire a car lol?

[scottykilmer]

often a bad battery, or a bad ignition switch. Try jump starting it to see if it's just battery. also, a bad starter can do that, hit it with a hammer and if it starts to turn, replace the starter

Ive been watching scotty and eric the car guy videos since before they went ro 1080p and they helped me get my car going about 95% of the time the other 5% some friends helped me out but i learned much more from these guys and also chris fix. Thank you so much scotty you helped me so much

[ellehub]

Good mechanics r GENIUSES! That would be YOU, Scotty! 😊

I was expecting the obvious simple scenario but you tricked us with a more complex one. I like it.

This video helped me get my car working again! I had hopped in my car to go to work and when I turned the key nothing happened. After watching this video I did some investigating and ended up crawling under my car to locate the starter and when I got to it there was a purple wire that had come totally loose! Tightened up the nut that held the wire in position, turned the key, and the car started up no problem. I'd never worked on a car before so was tempted to have it towed and checked out by a mechanic, but this video gave me the push I needed to attempt the troubleshooting myself so thanks Scotty!

Your videos are my staple to working on my car ! I really appreciate the confidence you give me to fix things myself !!!!

[MarcusLeonard]

"All ya have to do is rewire your car; split this wire and connect it to the right place so you don't blow up in the process." "It' no big deal; anyone can do it!" lol yeah ok Scotty

Scotty's videos just keep getting better and more informative. Nice work.

Scotty, you the man.  I know a lot of very good repair guys on you tube put you down for some of your videos but they have a ton of tools and experience and don't pay for the parts they put in.  What many people need is a fix they can actually afford.

Man Scott you are AWESOME! Finally a no BS mechanic I can trust!

[scottykilmer]

starter bolts on the engine at the back where the engine bolts to the transmission. Follow the positive battery cable back, it ends bolted to the starter.

[scottykilmer]

generally either fuel injectors tick or engine valves. If it runs good live with it

[scottykilmer]

clicking is normally a bad starter or a power loss going to the starter, such as a weak battery or bad wiring to the starter.

Scotty Kilmer the car is fixed!!! I accidentally put a fuse in a wrong place and that was the cause.. Ford's wanted £155.98 plus vat to just have a look at it but my aa recovery didn't charge me a penny and it's all fixed. Thanks for your help...
