You’re putting the power in the people’s hands. That’s priceless Scotty.

Im a mechanic of almost twenty years and info like this is priceless. Thank you.

[johnwoffard]

I'm an old Air Force maintainer with eight kids, so I'm always fixing my kids' cars and their friends' cars. I truly enjoy and revere you and your show for teaching me stuff that help keep a lot of cars on the road!

[wayneknodel]

I've spent most of my 65 years in the car and motorcycle business, and love how you give everyman's explanation of auto repair, not to mention showing us old dogs useful applications of new technologies. Thanks for being such a great, fun resource.

I am a Red Seal automotive service technician since 2010. Scotty is legit and I can still learn from him. Thanks for the tips Scotty! I hope computer choose me to win one of those...

[Bornagain_]

I’m going to an aviation mechanical school, don’t want to mention any names but man you have shown me more than all of the teachers in that school combined. Thank you for the years of knowledge. I hope you receive all the gifts you deserve. 🙏

[loquelaprensacalla]

Great video man, I haven’t seen my dad for years so I didn’t have a father figure to teach me about stuff like cars and it’s just nice that’s there’s a channel like yours

[kevinmurphy]

I’ve been working in my own cars since a child, watching this guy for the last month I’ve learned and realized every little thing I did wrong or could of done differently. This man is a HUGE HELP!!!

[Marilynefc]

As a girl who never had a car. Family grew up on buses. I appreciate you so much <3

[THEPAPASMURFTHEOG]

[danbat]

I'd love to see the face of a used car salesman when you whip out a meter and start running tests...would be priceless!!!

[seanwhite]

When I retire from the Army, it will be in Houston. Thank you for all of your selfless service by providing all of this amazing information.

[charlesod]

[luciomiddleschool]

Scotty's hands keep moving even when he's sleeping.

[bcgrittner]

Now that's useful stuff. I wonder how many so-called mechanics have no knowledge of this kind of information.

[damonhill]

As a retired Electronics Engineering Technician I truly appreciate your skill at demonstrating electronic tests that can easily check for faulty components with minimum effort! Way Cool Scotty!

[djarcforceable]

I've tinkered around on cars forever. It's kind of a hobby for me and I know a fair amount about working on them. But I'm always learning new things here watching Scotty. Another great and informative video!
