Growing up with a dad who worked on cars and taught me about them is invaluable. We have a lift in the garage and can do most repairs ourselves. We know it’s done right and I can bond with my dad at the same time!

Scotty, from a kid who didn’t grow up with anyone to teach me about cars, ( me and my momma lol) I appreciate all these videos so much. You help people like me trying to learn about cars so much. I’ve learned a lot from you and I thank you!

[FriedGreenCarrots]

With theses outrageous car prices cars should come with built in scan tools already😳

I get my 30-year-old truck looked at by a very good mechanic every single spring. Sometimes, he'll change the plugs other something else but I have never gotten a bill over $225; ever. He takes great care of keeping it running in tippy top shape and I am grateful to that man. He is as honest as the day is long. A woman actually owns that little shop and she runs a tight ship.
I will never, ever take it to a place like Goodyear or a dealer again. The last time I did I was quoted $1500. I paid $50 for the diagnostic, went to a parts store, bought the parts and made the repairs needed and my total cost including the diagnostic was $150. Talk about mark up!

[millerscorner]

It's funny to consider the differences from diagnostics of years gone by and today. I remember when my Dad, a master mechanic and master machinist, was teaching me about such things way back in the 60's and the diagnostic tool we used most back then was 'listening' and knowing the noises and from where they came. Life was so much simpler back then.

I just bought the same tool - absolutely impressed with everything from the OEM body and powertrain programming functions, key programming, ABS, you name it. Much cheaper than a Maxidas but just as capable

I’m about to be 26 this month and I’ve never taken a single vehicle to a shop for anything, either my dad or big brother would fix it for me, then I watched them and now I’ve began to work on them myself, just did a ford 4.6 intake manifold and water pump last week, if I can do this stuff anyone can, you just got to put in the time and work it takes to learn, I’ve saved thousands of dollars doing stuff DIY, a mechanic would’ve charged me at least 800 to 1000 bucks, I did it myself for 140 bucks, sure I had to buy some tools I didn’t have but now I’ve got those tools for the rest of my life now

I bought one of these a month ago, because extending the CPO on our 2017 BMW 440i was going to cost $4000.
Two days after I got it, my friend borrowed it and was able to see that his 2yo Tundra's wheel speed sensor was hosed.
The dealer couldn't find the problem. He showed them video of using the scan tool and they replaced the sensor under warranty.
He bought an X8 IMMEDIATELY.
A couple of weeks ago, my son barely made it home in his 2003 Accord. I used the scan tool to find 2 bad ignition coils. Simple diagnosis with the X8 and simple fix.

purchased XTool D8. outstanding tool. $688.00 + tax. have used it on several vehicles, I find it comparable to launch X431 V+, autel, and snapon scantools. equal to or greater diagonoetic capabilities; far less in cost. three years free updates. also, XTool D8 has brought out a BT (blue tooth) model, just over $700.00. thousands less than autel and snapon scan tools.thank you Scotty Kilmer for another outstanding presentation. I will soon be 73 years old, I use this tool frequently. wish i had this several years ago.

[patbaptiste]

I've watched countless videos on this scan tool which looks like an Xtool D8. This video is by far the most informative. Most of the other videos focus on the bi-directional special functions - which IS very useful for troubleshooting however, the way in which you described this tool could influence my 86 year ol mom to buy one but she doesn't have a driver's license and never drove a day in her life. I bet if she watched this video, she'd buy one anyway. hehehehe

[apetro]

Long time DIYer here. Been using the Torque Pro with BT device for a long time while looking at advanced scanners for YEARS... but wanted to keep under $1, 000. XTool is a game changer and they just upgraded their D7 and D8 devices. I just received my XTool D8W. It is Wireless Direct, not Blue Tooth. Data transfer is much faster than bluetooth. My expectations have been exceeded. If you've been on the fence, look no further. And, don't be pennywise and pound foolish. Spend the extra $$ for the D8W. Enjoy! 0:02

If you're working with Fords specifically, with an OBD Link EX cable, a free copy of Forscan, and a laptop, you can get all the scanning tools you need for $50. Once you pay $10 for Forscan, you do get some extras like being able to tweak vehicle behavior (like adding cruise control or enabling post-purchase sensors)

[davidhall]

My go-to Scanner is the Launch. It uses Bluetooth and WiFi. Free updates for Two years and because of the Bluetooth capability, the Technician can use the scan tool away from the vehicle.
My Snap-on Verus pro is too big for day to day diagnostics. It's only needed if there is a communication failure between any of the Modules on the Can- Bus network. The Oscilloscope feature on the Verus Pro is rarely needed.

[alexanderzubar]

Scotty is right about software updates. Wait until the complaints about the updates stop before updating your own!

[waynecartwright]

Scotty ! One of the best darn videos you have done in I like them all year mechanic but same basic unit

[chuckymurlo]

Back in the day (love that quip)there was a diagnostic tournament you could enter and diagnose cars with problems from easy to very difficult and if you made it through with a top score you got a cash prize and a large trophy!

[jmabs]

You can tell Scott is genuinely excited recording this video, like a kid in a candy shop with someone else's candy

[frickenbored]

I just bought the D7 for $500, I'm blown away at everything it can do. Worth every penny.

[Divergentpath]

Love Scotty. Everytime I watch one of these I can't help but think how he could do animated character voiceovers..
