The enthusiasm you put into your videos makes automotive learning even more exciting! You rock, Scotty.

A spare engine, transmission, and body shell in the trunk will do endless good in an emergency.

[michaelwilson]

I cannot help but watch your videos. I never thought I'd even be interested in cars, like this. it makes me want to be a mechanic

[Nexfero]

Gloves in the trunk?

I keep my gloves in the Glove Box...

[dennismarin]

I've been watching you for a few years now and it's safe to say you're one of the most sincere and honest mechanics out there. You're also so passionate about what you do. You've helped me thrpugh almost anything I needed to have done to my car. Oh, I also drive a Celica :) keep up the good work Scotty!

[FlyDontLandOnFlowers]

You are my favorite online mechanic, Scotty Kilmer.

[CChallinor]

good advice as always, but I'd add at No1 a hi-vis jacket, in fact in many European countries it is a legal requirement, also a good first aid kit is a must

[metalmoto]

First Aid Kit. I just picked up a small one for a few dollars. But you can also use duct tape on a bad cut, if you have nothing else.

Two more things you should have:
1 quart of your car's oil
1 quart of Automatic Transmission fluid

Auto transmission fluid is obviously for the transmission, but it can also be used in power steering and (in small amounts) to top off your oil. If you are dangerously low on oil, I've been told it is ok to use some ATF until you can get more oil, but its still smart to keep a quart of oil in your trunk as well.

Other tools I like to have:
Volt meter
Basic ratchet set
Small wrench set
Couple of screwdrivers
A funnel
Paper towels or napkins
Zipties
Ziplock bags
A phone charger

I drive an old car, so some of this is a must-have for me.

Tire plugs? I'll never go anywhere without them. They have saved me from being stranded several different times over the years.

[bricelewis]

Hey Scotty I would like to add something to that list. Whenever you change the drive belt on a vehicle, I find it helpful to keep your old belt in your vehicle that way if your new one were to ever break for any reason you have a spare one to put on until you get a new one to replace the one that broke.

Skip the jumper cables and go with a booster pack. Halfway decent ones can be picked up for cheap at an auto parts store or Walmart and you won't be sitting there waiting for someone to offer you a jump start. And if you're in an empty parking lot or parking garage with no one around, you're SOL. Just hook up two clamps on the jumper pack to your dead battery, turn a switch and you're good to go. Just remember to plug it into an AC outlet once a month to make sure it's got a full charge.

[Saw_Squatch]

I keep a 2.5 ton jack, good tie-down straps, bungee chords, jumper cables, an emergency jump starter (in the winter), Haynes car repair manual for my truck, an army surplus wool blanket, fire extinguisher, road flairs, and a small emergency bag with 1 MRE, leatherman Wave (with bit kit), ice scraper, matches, lighter, emergency blanket, paracord, whistle, flashlight, vice grips, good leather gloves, water bottle, and of course a full roll of DUCT TAPE all behind the seat of my single cab truck!

[LordAnestis]

I love how he pop ups from the trunk or the car hood or the tank or the glove box..

[dehacaballo]

I love how he's always yelling at us. Make me listen lol

[RJtheexplosive]

being 16 with my first car i find these videos very helpful. Thanks!

ESCAPE TOOLS!!! One guy told me he spent 2 weeks in a hospital BC he took too long to break out of a caddy with smoking wires under the dash...power doors and windows were dead of course due to electrical fail...he finally kicked out glass, but not easily enough! He hates all power locks & windows now. Also you need a blade to cut your shoulder strap and belt, especially if there's a gas flow going on after a wreck and you can't get unstrapped. Think you left some things out Scotty....and water and food enough for being broke down, isolated, or in a major traffic holdup.
