Whoever listening to this I wish you peace, wisdom, productivity, abundance, and prosperity. And I hope you will have the money to fix your car.

I feel bad for that guy that paid thousands to have the transmission replaced only for it to be a bad ignition coil. Sucks there’s a lot of crooks in our industry.

The sum of the video is this:
1) Don't buy a car whose transmission's have a lousy track record.
2) Tread lightly when it comes to repairing your transmission - the odds are that it might not even get diagnosed or correctly fixed the first time.
3) Find a local "Scotty Kilmer" who knows what he's doing, is honest, and has the experience, tools and skills you need to get the job done right the first time.
4) Watch Scotty's videos faithfully and keep yourself informed about the vehicle that you own. Otherwise, the next victim of auto mechanic incompetence, or outright fraud, my just might be you.

Great videos. I've saved tons of money by watching your videos. Thanks!

Scotty is a millionaire because of hard work and honesty. God bless you!

[thomasmoye]

And this is why educating yourself is worth a million bucks! Thanks Scotty!

Having my car break down used to be terrifying since I had little to no idea what was happening to the vehicle. Thanks to your wonderful automotive explanations, I understand a lot more about the workings of parts and how to diagnose problems!

Look down to see how many pedals there are. If there's only 2, then the transmission is bad.

[AngieMusicArt]

This happened to me a mechanic said “wow he car runs like crap! That’ll be $450 to fix.” He was so rude I did my research and also found this channel on the way. And I found that my car needed 1 ignition coil for $42 and I was back to having a silent smooth ride!

So basically buy a scan tool and read advice on the internet. Thanks, really helpful!

[vram]

Wouldn't it be great if these stupid vehicles would just show you the damn codes on the infotainment screen and simply told you what's wrong?

[jaythomas]

Me and that mechanic would had a discussion about my new un-needed transmission in a place with no witnesses

[AXHEJAZ]

Scotty Kilmer is one of those mechanics that truly has mastered his skills in his career and he is in fact a Master Mechanic. 1 in every 500 mechanics are truly a master mechanic.

Scotty!!!! Long time subscriber, first time poster. THANK-YOU. I have been watching your videos and taking your "no nonsense" diagnostic advice for the better part of a decade now. As a person who also owns an independent auto repair shop, and a person who also becomes stumped at times, I have found my google searches leading back to your grass-roots knowledge and advice at least once every time I am having to use the net for research on a counter intuitive automotive issue that stumps me. You have made me a better mechanic/technician. Thank you for continuing to make and post videos for those of us who don't have 50 years under the hood. You rock, Sir! ! !

[perrygalbraith]

I want to let you know I was watching this because my honda odysseys transmission has been going out there no way I could afford to fix it and because of the recall information you just saved my life thank you so

[Networked]

I would love to see this man's search history for these images he puts in his videos.

[The.Alabama.Woodsman]

I bought a 2011 Tacoma. I got on youtube and began to study it. I am amazed at how much of the work I can actually do! Transmission, differential, oil, headlights, bumper repair... all kinds of stuff! You can even find torque specs!

This quote deserves to be framed and spread to the four corners of the earth!!

Scotty saved me from not only a transmission rebuild but also a radiator replacement. Trans was slipping on load.  Engine was overheating on load.   Radiator guy said I needed a new radiator. Trans guy, well...  Almost went for both til Scotty's video.  Problem was misfiring because of a bad ignition wire. $29 later, when I changed the wires, the radiator and transmission problems VANISHED! Scotty's the GREATEST!
