Go for it, I just did a tune up of my accord knowing nothing about mechanics thanks to Scotty. Bought the tools needed for the job for less than what the mechanic would charge

[@deanshort9011]

Scotty your integrity is impeccable! Thank you for equalizing the rip-off industry in the world of cars that continues to be rampant. Not all mechanics are bad eggs. One shining example is you, that I have infinite respect for! You have mastered the vast subject of car repair, car maintenance, and perhaps most importantly, vehicle reliability. And you explain that mastery with simplicity and rugged transparency that we, the laymen can readily understand. Bless you for your highly-principled disposition in an industry that desperately deserves your common sense understanding of the internal combustion engine! Your information is priceless.

[@kikupub71]

Thankfully Scotty is our advocate in all things automotive. We take a big risk trying to find honest mechanics.

[@kazilziya830]

I've been a garage mechanic lol for many years and you my friend are a rarity as far as honesty goes. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. TY

[@ralphbernard3908]

Hi Scotty! Thanks for your informative videos. My current project is a 2006 Jetta with the 2.5 5 cylinder engine. It was my father's last car and has 174,000 original miles. It was driven by our oldest grandson to college for 5 years. It is now sort of a petri dish of parts that are either worn out or on their way out. I bought one of your affordable scan tools today and I am waiting to begin exploration of this challenge. Trying to get the car ready for the next grandson to use. It has some positive aspects. No body rust or dents, motor, transmission and radiator do not leak. It would have been much cheaper to attack problems a little at a time as they occur instead of trying to catch up to 5 years of neglect all at once. I still remember both mom and dad in this car. Memories can be very costly😮

[@DarrellGrainger]

I bought the Ancel AD410 on the recommendation from Scotty. I think it cost me $40 at the time (it's $45 now). Best purchase I made. Had some issues with the transmission. Gave me the code. Googled the code and it completely agreed with what happened to me. Brought it to my mechanic, told him the code. He focused in the transmission, checked with an online, professional forum. I thought it needed new electronics. He found out the circuitry was adjustable. Did some tweaks. Said it should make it last for a while longer. Couple of thousand miles and it is still going fine with no codes. The scan tool in this video does seem to be a little cheaper and just as good, if not better.

[@SadBoyHTX]

My dad used to tow some cars for you back in Houston

[@gmzx3]

I bought a cheap tool about 15 years ago and it only gave you the OBD code (if there was one). No pending codes, data or anything else except you could clear codes. The connector would not fit my Honda so I bought a new inexpensive one. It is much like the one Scotty has in it's vast capabilities. They are improving all the time. You do have to spend more to get ABS and SRS (airbag) and other mfg specific codes.

Scotty is the ultimate multi-brand commentator, but if you have a modern Toyota, The Car Care Nut is your guru. He works for a Toyota dealer, and delving deeper is his hobby. His only downside is the length of his videos - but you get deep insight.

Wow, nice. That's what I was waiting for, was small cheap scan tools with almost as many features as the bigger more expensive ones. And it looks like the cheapies have become more functional now. I was aiting for a small cheap one that exceeded what my stupid old CarMD basic thing could do that I got for free. And now they can, very cool.

[@MrBilld75]

@The Real VR I meant "more than previous cheap small code readers". Of course, it doesn't have all the features of the bigger more expensive ones. That was also not my point, my point was you are getting more features now in these cheap scanners=that's awesome.

[@elliotkrosinsky6199]

FOR $20 EDIAG YA201 IS VERY GOOD.

[@terencejay8845]

My nice little £35 scan-tool has a Special Feature when plugged into my 2001 Golf 1.6; It shows the code, great. So I fix the fault. Then I clear the stored code. That's the point when it flashes up 'So you think you've fixed it, do you? Well, here's another code for ya, Buddy!'

[@jaydubb2092]

He also recommended a Creader 3001 cheap scan tool. I found one on eBay for $25 brand new. I had a flashing check engine light out of the blue getting onto the freeway. I got off, drove back home slowly and used the Creader 3001 the next morning. Didnt see a trouble code, but looking at live data, I saw that Cylinder 4 was randomly misfiring. I had changed the spark plugs at 105k miles 4 years ago, but wondered when the coils were changed...they never were since i bought the car and the original owner had traded it at 98k. I placed in brand new iridium spark plugs with Duralast platinum coils, drove it for 30 mins...no issues. That $25 Creader 3001 definitely would save me hundreds from going to a mechanic for a full tune up that I can do easily myself! Oh....its a 2009 Honda Accord LX now having 169k miles and owned it for 6 years

Not sure when you came back because I just learned today when I pulled up KZbin and saw you on my homepage....I was way excited when I noticed that the video was posted within the last 24 hours!!! Now I know where to go! When I have time I will be searching through your videos to see if you have one on how to replace a serpentine belt and tensioner for a 2005 Dodge Neon. I did find a couple videos which were helpful although I'd like to find some more, or at least something with a little more detail. I am not a mechanic although your videos have helped me in the past to correctly diagnose and understand exactly how to take care of any issues that come up for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
