Been a tech (formerly called mechanic) for 45 years. Like you I've seen a lot of changes. Worked flat rate for many years, made good money as well. I'm now SEMI retired because people won't let me alone. I could still work 7 days a week if I didn't turn off my phone. Anyway just another old timer saying thanks and Happy Holidays to you and yours! Keep up the good work...

Scotty is the ONLY professional mechanic I've ever seen that has spent over 50 years fixing cars outside in his driveway without a lift.

I've gotten more use out of $70 no name scan tool than I could have imagined. It's literally saved my thousands of dollars in diagnoses fees and giving me codes that I could fix myself. Even today it's amazing how many things you can fix at home with less than $1, 000 in equipment.

Hi Scotty my name is Steve, I am an auto tech and have been for a long time. Even though I have become disabled my love for getting grease under my fingernails hasn't stopped me from working in my garage on my own cars (2 classic, 2 GM special edition vehicles and 2 daily drives). LOL, plus I still have a handful of loyal customers that I fix their cars for them at my home to help them by saving them a lot of money over the local repair shops and making sure they have a car to get to work.(even if it mean getting done at 1am Monday morning. Yep, had to do that a few times.)
No matter how long you work on cars you never seem to learn everything and I love watching your videos because I do learn new things now and then and reminds me of old tricks that I forgot about. A good scan tool would be a greatly welcomed piece of equipment if I were to win. Thanks again for all the time you put into making these videos for all of us. Please don't stop any time soon.
A fellow gearhead, Steve

Hey Scotty here's a story for you. When I was 16 years old my grades were good enough for me to get into' Duel Enrollment at the local community college in Daytona Beach. Back then it was D.B.C.C. now it's Daytona State. I started the ASE Mechanical Classes, Tune up and emissions and I forget the 2nd course taught that semester. Even back in 1999/2000 my instructor a Mr. Draper said. "If you want to turn wrenches being a mechanic is not for you. Everything in these damn things are computerized." He went on saying you have to be a techie to work on a modern car and that was 18 years ago! The school had a dealer grade scanner that I forget the price, but it blew my mind! Ended up becoming a professional butcher as I found out, working on other's cars just wasn't fun like I had hoped it would be.

God bless, Merry Christmas, and keep being Awesome Mr. Kilmer!

I bought the launch X431 pro mini v.3 and it does have more stuff than I will ever need, the nicest feature is that you can actuate solenoids, injectors and much more for diagnosing issues. I don’t think I save money by fixing my vehicles but I do enjoy it.

[johnd]

Saying NO in business will make you more money then saying YES WE CAN every day. Stick with what you do good and make money. No one can be a do it all mechanic. That's why attorneys and doctors specialize.

[johnd]

Scotty must have an entire IT / production department putting together these quality videos. Never watched one that I did not learn something.

[amjadsaadeh]

Scotty why modern cars don't just show you the code and fault on the screen?, why they just show check engine light and then you have to get a second party scanner to figure it out?

[lionboki]

I really appreciate you trying to help hundreds of thousands even millions of people Scotty! Over the years I've learned so much and you've given me the confidence to work on my own cars! I could really use one of those scan tools! Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

[regularpilot]

Merry Christmas Scotty and the rest of the community!

[bloodycolby]

Merry Christmas 🎄 Everyone and Scotty!

[davidharris]

Hey scotty I really enjoy watching your videos.Honestly you have saved me time and money wish there's more mechanics like you.I have a 2009 handycaped accessible van that randomly dies and won't start for days can't afford to take it to the shop and pay for the scan if I could find the problem I can fix it myself. Keep up the good work your a good man GOD BLESS YOU

[weloveups]

At dealership prices it doesn't take long to recover even a thousand dollar scan tool. On even owning just one car out of warranty. My xtool d7 is awesome. Dealer wanted 100 bucks just to redo a Key fob. That's insane!

When are you releasing the Scanny Kilmer Scan Tool?

[NidalRashid]

As a novice, I wonder what is stopping the diy community from compiling a wiki-like database that a generic scan tool can refer to for continuously updated information and upgrades

[TheNortheastAl]

Scotty, the knowledge you pass on to us in repair and in business is invaluable.

[GSskiracer]

At 60 I said to myself no more lying on the ground working on my cars anymore, Leased a new one, after lease up, back on the ground working on my Celica, it's just more fun and it keeps me outa the bars. Thanks Scotty
