I completely agree about working for yourself. I walk out my back door in the morning to my large shop where I repair and build musical instruments. Like you, I don't advertise and I have a lot to do. Thanks for your channel. I do my own car repairs when possible.

[@jerseyneil1]

I'm not a professional mechanic, but I have 6 cars at home with the wife and kids. If I had to pay a mechanic for everything, I'd go broke. Every guy should learn to do the basics, like oil change, brakes, fix a flat, etc. Most of the things I learned, I learned from youtube or a service manual. It's a great feeling when you do the work and know it is done right and you still have money in your pocket.

Cars are more complicated but I'll be darned if I wasn't able to find a solution on KZbin for ANY problem I've had. I'm a good DIY mechanic but KZbin is absolutely something every mechanic needs in their tool box.

[@ateam6486]

yeah I use it all the time when I do oil changes to find out how to reset the oil life warning light, many times the owners manual is either not in the car missing or there is so much crap in the car you must dig it out and try to later put it back into their mess of old baby diapers. and I only use my scanner for fixing real problems so I don't ruin the wiring harness at the plug for nothing

[@techguy651]

My dad was a DIY mechanic for our family in the 80s like I am for my family today. I am often amazed at how much time he “wasted” by having to go to the library to check out (and then read through) the service manuals for our cars. Now, while under the car, I just wipe my hands off, get my phone out, search some keywords, and follow along.

[@blipco5]

+techguy651 ...Yup, bless guys like Scotty and home mechanics that for some unknown reason deem it necessary to upload every seemingly totally useless piece of information. Useless that is...unless YOU need it. I own a 2013 Honda Accord. I decided to upgrade my door speakers for better sound. So I found some good replacement speakers but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get the door panels off a modern car. Soooo, I went to KZbin and there it was. Some guy posted up a video showing it step by step. Same model car. I bought a set of plastic levers and away I went. Piece of cake. And I broke NOT one fastener.

[@blipco5]

A Team....My nephew bout a 2008 Honda. The radio didn't work because the PO changed the battery and it popped up the anti-theft code on the radio. So the PO rode around for three months without music. Of course the guy had no manual, he said you had to go to the dealer. My nephew whips out his iPhone goes to KZbin and had the radio working within two minutes, LOL.

[@dmfraser1444]

People like us who know how to fix things will always be employed. I have the knack as well but my father as a heavy diesel mechanic just reeked of diesel all the time. Even when he broke wind it would smell like diesel. So I went into electronics. The biggest automotive repair I ever did was a head gasket on a 2.5L Aries. We are about the same age, I am 67, and have achieved a comfortable retirement because of having the knack. Keep up the good videos.

@@caesar7277 Well, I'd say SOME people just go somewhere else but there's no way those mechanics don't know they suck. Over time they will have enough customers come back only to be fobbed off. That's usually when the customer goes somewhere else because it often isn't worth the blood sweat and tears to argue with a low life mechanic or any other service provider who takes advantage of people.

[@salo1808]

I recently started working at a diesel repair shop. When I got there they had a F450 with a brand new engine but they couldn’t get it fired up, and the one time they did, it only ran with 4 cylinders. It was quiet a challenge, I ended up figuring out the connectors at the CPS were full of gunk, then the truck ran in 7 cylinders and it smoked bad. The computer was telling us injector number 5 was dead, so I took off the valve cover and unhooked injector number 5 and the truck ran worst, I unhooked one injector at a time, and when I unhooked number 1, the truck stoped smoking and ran a lot better. Come to find out the coil in injector number 1 was defective. We threw in a new injector and cranked the truck and finally heard it run in all 8 cylinders. It was such an amazing feeling. It can be frustrating but once you over come obstacles you really do feel like you’re accomplishing task and moving forward.

[@tuneuptony3679]

Great video. Running your own shop is more than just fixing cars, you have educate your customer and build relationships with them. Eventually your good customers will just hand you the keys and say call me when its done. The trust that's built up over years is priceless.

[@BruceChastain]

Oh, Scotty. I can understand you SO well. You're just describing why I choose to be a technician. ✓ As a kid I used to take things apart to understand how they worked, I used to love that ✓ I enjoy working by myself, in silence, no people around, talking to myself. It make me feel complete ✓ I love the satisfaction of using logic and train my brain to understand why something's happening and fixing it correctly ✓ I like inventing tools with the things I have around, if possible ✓ Started this tired of being ripped off by technicians that were just lying to me and couldn't fix anything ✓ I hardly trust most of the people My only problem is when I receive too much work, my brain kind of explodes. I need to do one thing of a time, complete it, and then receive a new situation. Still don't know how to manage that.

I got into the small engine repair world when I was 18, I'm 21 now, and I can relate to scotty on this. For instance, my grandmother had a 1998 john deere 345 tractor, she said it had low power, took it to Holland and sons, they had it for 2 weeks, called her up and said the engine needed rebuilt, etc, was going to cost $1,000. I told her hey, let me take look at it. I did, all the problem was is a dirty air filter, causing the machine to run on partial choke. Replaced the air filter, and it got full power back. She is still mowing with that mower 3 years later

Scotty, I think this is one of your best videos of all time. I could really identify with the entire list of points you made. I was just telling a coworker the other day that office work has no beginning, & no end. It is always the same & is never finished. I have worked in mechanical repair & now I work in collision repair. I love watching the cars that come in all smashed up, leaving looking like they are brand new. It is a satisfying process. & being a female I was tired of being ripped of by some (not all) mechanic facilities because of my own ignorance of cars. So I decided I was going to learn & be able to make more informed decisions on my own vehicle's repairs.

Hey that's exactly why I became a mechanic as well! I don't trust anyone with my vehicles and I save a LOT of time, hassle & especially money doing everything myself! Also I just love to work on vehicles, I always have and always will. And i am one to believe that if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself.

Lol so true! On making tools. I had to rip a wire to make a substitute on a mass relay fuse. As I broke down on the side of the road I finally came up with that idea and make it to Napa

Come on Scotty. Drop "Mechanic." The good ones are Automotive Technicians.

How do you become a mechanic? best place for information, best place to learn hands on, etc.

^^ along with doing automotive courses.

[@ateam6486]

well years ago it was the full service gas stations, you went out to pump gas and check oil, and then air up tires and then fixing flat tires, then oil changes, but those places are gone, and the quik lube places are crap.

[@timewa851]

start with a smaller engine, lawn mower, motorcycle, outboard. it's more difficult today because you get the theory with old cars like VW bugs/bus, those being antique now makes it difficult to even learn basic maintenance skills. You also have to learn about torquing fasteners to manufacture's specs or you damage $$$$$ stuff.

[@chieftp]

same way you become a police officer - you go to a community college for 4 weeks.

[@christopherelrod8788]

I simply tore apart my car to figure things out. Replaced suspension ignition system fuel system alternator and recently pulled the auto trans and put a new one in. THAT was satisfying. First time I put it in drive and it just happily drove out from the hole it sunk into and was surrounded by weeds

I want a Toyota, but the local dealers are jerks! Been to both of the ones within 20 miles of my house and they all have a superiority complex about them. I can understand them trying to lowball you on a trade in, but to out and out refer to a 3 year old vehicle as basically trash lost them both a sale lol.

[@vulpixgrant]

@haddi Taha It was a 2004 F-150 that had less than 20,000 miles on it and was never used as a work truck just a daily driver. Its been years but I remember their attitude was that it was junk that they would have a hard time reselling. The best selling pickup truck for decades and they would have a hard time selling it my foot, got another Ford afterwords.

Hi Scotty. Very good video and advice. You have a solid point about not having so much talk flowing into your ears and having a sense of satisfaction of a job completed. My dad was a mechanic for 40 years leading up to the 1970's and owned his own business, a gas station with a 3 bay repair facility. I used to work for him on weekends and during summers. So I can really understand and appreciate what you are talking about.

[@sickof36]

Learned a lot from you. Also love the pics in the background lol . Please never quit making videos

[@nottjohn9418]

One of the things I like most about being a truck driver is working on my own. I see my workmates at the start of a shift and sometimes during one but that's it. I am interested in cars and fixing them and I do minor servicing and electrical repairs but some jobs are beyond my toolkit/time/knowledge.
