    Nice to see even Scotty is willing to admit to mistakes and tells us about them so we can learn from his mistakes. Respect.
  • @Soulintent95
    The day scotty quits or dies, youtube will be done in my book. Im positive he was the 1st channel i ever stuck with. I have learned so much from him. In fact, i regularly credit him with the things i have learned.
  • @daveplumb6246
    It’s so nice to see somebody that is so truthful in such an evil world. We love you Scotty. never retire🛠️👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
  • @daveplumb6246
    You are the best Scotty I have been a mechanic for 40 years and everything you say is the utmost truth and I commend you on that❤👍🏻🛠️🇨🇦
  • @davehafso7003
    I really like these videos where you show preventative maintenance we can do at home Scotty! This is very helpful!
  • @Dominitrix69
    You're a good man, Scotty. A National treasure to the people!
  • @Capnblinski
    Looks like our yard—Matrix/Vibes, Camry's, Highlanders, Lexus's etc. hahaha! My silver-with-a-spoiler 2000 Camry's got one of those Autozone batteries the biggest one that fits! Got that for half the price when I worked there as a commercial driver. Great job for a retired guy! Love ya Scotty–you are one cool customer!

    I haven't seen all your videos so maybe you've mentioned this... When checking tire air pressure make sure it's the correct pressure. The lable in the drivers-side door jam tells the correct air pressure, it's not always 32 lbs. One of my vehicles is 36 lbs, my F-250 is 60 lbs on the front and 80 lbs on the rear. Even when I take my vehicles to Discount Tire for a pressure check (very rare) they get it wrong, everything ends up 32 lbs.
  • @Jestr86
    Please live forever Scotty 🙏
  • @olegig5166
    Concerning tire pressure. Sure the drivers door tag gives a suggested pressure but I like to be more personal, especially if a different quality tire is being used. I use the chalk test. Get one of those large white chalk sticks that kids play with on the sidewalk. Chalk a strip across the tire (outside to inside) covering several lugs, maybe 4" wide then drive several revolutions on payment. Check the strips for wearing off of the chalk. If inflation is correct for tire and weight, the strip will have worn off evenly. If worn off more at center of tire, too much pressure. If worn off more on edges of tire, too little pressure.

    I put armourall on my plastic taxi seats. Made them look clean. A guy sat behind me one day and was talking. Had to turn the corner and as I was watching him... he slid right across the seats. One door to the other door. We both just laughed.
  • @Gorilla_cookie
    Some of the batteries that are glass at Walmart are made by Johnson controls these are excellent batteries. Pretty much match up with one from AutoZone to make sure it’s a Johnsons control. Walmart gives you a three year coverage, which is one year longer than AutoZone. Plus you’re about $100 cheaper.
  • @mrgarrison3516
    I'm happy I saw these tricks before Scotty retires next week 👍👍
  • @klittlet005
    I also visually check my lug nuts. I’ve had two instances where the tire shop overtightened and they broke off
  • Your the Greatest of the greatest of All Scotty, thanks for all that you have taught me things that i didn't even know some of what you taught.
