Scotty should be our President, but since the elections are rigged obviously that can't happen.
I'd vote for Scotty in a second, better than any supposedly "qualified" candidate ever since the mid 1800s!
@@watershed44 Well put it man, but a scotty minded president will definitely save small & industry like jobs by making sure high standards are reached and transparent operations are declared and better accountability of mega companies
"Those idiots at the tire shops!" If Scotty thinks the tire guys are idiots, wait until he has an encounter with the guys at the quickie oil change shops.
Yep, I was lazy and went to a quickie lube. They were supposed to do the first major service on the car. After a couple hours they called me and told me I’d have to tow it to a mechanic because the threads where the spark plugs go were stripped. When I came to pick up the car they told me that it wasn’t they’re fault and the threads where already stripped when they got it. I told them they’d never been replaced, that’s when they told me that “well, we’re not paying to fix the car and you can’t prove it was us” I was young and stupid, I should have sued them. The previous owner had given me all the records and I could have proved that the dealership had only performed oil changes and a tire rotation. Long story short, I paid $500 to have $2,000 worth of damage done to my car.
He has.
This guys like the dad I never had to teach me things about cars and how to work on them.
Fr bro I feel that.
Well hes here now so cheer up , i just wanna know how lit scotty gets be fore he films these ?
I feel this too. He's awesome!
My stepdad was an awesome mechanic but was a total douchebag so as much as I’m thankful for what he taught me I’m even more thankful to have Scotty to learn from instead.
Thanks for doing a great job teaching us
The amount of knowledge from this channel is amazing. Who said watching youtube is waste of time?
A shop I used to buy tires from pulled that trick. Went back and the boss said rhat the new set of tires I bought sometimes fall out of balance. Then they charged me 40 bucks to balance the 4 new tires.
@@lyndapayne1680 people these days...
My father had a bubble balancer/tire remover in the garage when I was a kid. Can't even count how many tires I removed from rims & balanced. Always worked great & everyone came over to use it. My dad is gone, but the balancer lives on.
Thanks for the great information as always.
A single 51yr old woman, I love your videos. They help me so much when it comes to talking to the guys at auto stores and mechanics. Thank you Scotty!!
GOOD FOR YOU KACEY
scottys son is lucky to have a dad as an available mechanic anytime
@The infamous Legend
*Indeed. Thing is that MOST mechanics at shops today really don't care about doing the job right, and do NOT want to learn how. They don't give a rats behind whether they do honest work or not. The entire industry in the USA is mostly full of incompetents, jacklegs, scoundrels, and shysters. Finding a "good one" is like winning the power ball lottery! That's how rare they are!*
@@watershed44 Couldn't agree with you more!! You hit the nail on its head. And dealerships are even bigger scam artists. Ask them to do something like a transmission oil change, and you don't even know if they actually did it. They might just drive it into the bay, let it sit there for a while, and then claim they changed it!!!!
@@watershed44 an honest mechanic is a busy mechanic with people willing to wait weeks t have their vehicle repaired. The honest mechanic has his parking lot full of cars waiting to be repaired. The honest mechanic will always have work and will never be unemployed.
@@wcampbell1502 Maybe true, but I've seen dishonest shops park lots of cars outside the place to make it appear that they have lots of work, that's how shady the business is.
@@747-pilot @747-pilot
Indeed, I've had oil changes done (not at the fast lube but at supposedly reputable shops, and check, the oil sure enough it was NOT changed nor was the oil filter replaced and I was charged, I always go back call them on it (mark the filters) and make sure they do it right while I watch, then I never go back again.
Scotty "Son what the heck were you thinking!" "Didn't I teach you better than that?" LOL
Like, he must have subbed the channel, right? :P
Most shops use air impact tools when mounting tires, and grossly over-torque nuts or bolts.
I'm a victim of this. My tire went flat in the driveway and I couldn't get the lug nuts off. So, I put a cheater bar on my wrench and twisted the lug bolt in half. Tire and half the bolt came off. That is when I had the flashback of the guy in the tire shop using an air wrench without the "torque-stick". I was so focused on him using the "star" pattern when tightening, I missed the torque - or lack, thereof - method.
After buying a new lug bolt and loosening all the nuts on all the wheels with an impact wrench, I tightened them by hand with a torque wrench. I went back to the offending discount tire shop and vented, promising to never return again while spreading their reputation as far as possible. I don't know if it helped because this was before the days of SOCIAL MEDIA which I don't use, but I felt better. Lesson learned the hard way.
Now I buy my tires from a trusted tire shop with a torque wrench used in a "star" pattern. It costs a little more but it is worth it.
Yeah one reason I dont want aluminum wheels is some slackjack with an air wrench busting my wheel.
Torque sticks are important
most shops yes, especially if it’s privately owned, take it to discount/americas tire, we always pre-torque to 65 ft lbs and then torque down to factory spec.
I work at Discount Tire. We use air impacts to take off and put on wheels. When we put wheels on, we use torque sticks, that limit the max torque to 65 ft lbs. Then we lower the vehicle halfway until the tires are touching the ground, and torque each wheel.
I've had that happen to me too. It was a stealership.
Just because you go to a dealership doesn’t mean you get a “certified tech “ to work on your vehicle you can get a minimum wage guy working on it 🤣🤣
Kkkkkkk... lmao at "stealership" had the issue my self.
I had to leave the stealership was overqualified only paid 15$ per hour I’m with 4 times that now I charge 60$ per hour got about 500$ a month in overhead b totally worth it
Hey Scotty! Love the information
Appreciate you big time Scotty, helping the people not get taken for a ride.
Scotty. You are the best. Keep up these amazing videos.
@@jmayman thank you- scotty
Thank you sweetie- scotty
I worked at a tire shop for a few years, all I have to say is that there are knuckleheads in every profession. Love watching these videos!!
Also there’s a lot of folks who don’t deserved to get balance because they are bubble heads cheap Skates
This was one of Scotty's more balanced presentations!
Your comment was right on the bubble.
Done the bubble balance many years ago. As my Dad said 'It'll get ya home' - meaning better spin balanced soon.
They'' do more than get you home. The worked fine for decades. You just know how to use them like any tool.
My dad used a bubble balancer for 55 years until he retired 5 years ago. Over the years the tires are made so much better they often don't need any weight added.
this guy is so light hearted and fun. enjoys teaching us all these things. I honestly feel like a lot of us don't deserve it but I'm glad he is here making videos. seriously, much love and best hopes and wishes to you and your family.
a lot of us don't deserve it? lol
Excellent advise! I live in a small town and poorly balanced tires weeds the bad shops out fast. And yes, never go back to them, for anything.
When the generation of men Scotty is from dies off, it will be the end of an era. Better learn what I can while I can.
Right?? I want to learn all about carburated engines. Before the shift into electric cars...
Scotty is immortal. More specifically, immortalized.
Well on a positive note, we are the men who are learning from Scotty so we shall carry out his legacy!
@Magic Scotty angers the entire service and repair industry not to mention the car manufacturers.
They can't buy him off so I'm surprised they haven't tried to kill him off.
@@mehdirahan6943
I was thinking about how, like Scotty, I was schooled by my dad, and like Scotty, I'm no spring chicken!
I'm so thankful that I was raised by a man that instilled not just mechanical knowledge but also, plain ole common sense!
If I had been lucky enough to have a son I would have been tolerant of fun and games, but he would have been required to learn about more than just game consoles!
I've learned so much from this channel. As a woman who knows nothing about cars, you definitely make learning about them fun and you keep me engaged.
As another woman I totally agree! I watch Scotty every evening and always learn something
Thank you for teaching me about tire balancing, Scotty! I've gotten my tires balanced at various shops over the years & I never understood why my car didn't feel right sometimes. Now I know!
most imformative and down to earth channel on youtube. you're a treasure Scotty.
tires are best on tire4coin
When the dealer or tire shop rotates my tires, I always loosen the lug nuts and retighten with the torque wrench.
im buying 5 years tires from tire4coin
Another great tip! Torquing the lug nuts and not using an impact wrench.
We had a nearby tire shop that would tighten the lug nuts so much nobody else around could get them off. When they brought the vehicle to my dad for tires or brake work, he would often have them drive out to that shop and make them loosen up the lug nuts. If they were going to break, my dad didn't want to be the one responsible for doing it.
Thank you Scotty! You’re service is invaluable
Always amazed at what "Mechanics" can do to mess stuff up Scotty! You son is lucky to have ya.
You taught something I didn't think about, that was balancing my wheels in the driveway.
I love scotty, he has saved me thousands! Thank you.
I have my sons watching you now. I’m glad you still have your channel even though you don’t have your garage anymore. Your knowledge is valuable.
I’m glad there’s people like you that’s not afraid to say it the way it is! Thank you Scotty 👍👌🇺🇸
Well I learnt something today. I never realised you could balance a wheel like that. Thanks for the info Scotty.
Love your videos man. This was another great one, learned something new, about that balancer.
Thank you for your honest help, Scotty!!
"It's not shaking anymore!!!!!!!" Scotty Kilmer voice hahahaha cracked me up
I’m so lucky to have a friend with a tire mounter and balance machine! He saves me so much money! Thanks again Scotty!👍
I've become so tired of "professionals" at tire shops (not even the discount chains) screwing up my tires and wheels that I'm working on starting a mobile tire shop like you did a video on a few months ago. Thanks for the great content, Scotty!
You need to be on your game to Hope tonight get screwed but tire shop. I've had Wheels put on the wrong side, balance weights on the outside of my alloys & other atrocities.
They don't even give dudes training
Thanks for all your interesting reviews, insights, history, sense of humor, teaching and life lessons!
That enthusiasm is contagious! Makes learning this stuff that much more fun.
Didn't realize that balancing a tire is that simple. Thanks Scotty.
Amazing information every time, I appreciate all the detail you go into on every subject.
Way to go Scotty!
Always enjoy your down to earth explanations.
I learned a 3rd thing from this video use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts, not an impact wrench. Thank you, Scotty!
Most places are lazy and use the impact anyway
Thanks for the help Scotty!
Great info! Thank you Scotty for helping folks learn proper ways to do car cars.
Loved seeing the "old school" balance tool plus Scotty logic to the rescue!
Same situation happened to my girlfriend, they told her her rim was bent and she needed a new one. I went and had them balance the tires and the issue went away....weird!
Never send the wife/gf even if they know their cars, some assholes at shops will try to rip them off just because they assume they don't know anything. Of course, it's a good way to see if a shop are crooks.
Not weird, dishonest.
@@MiltonRoe I seriously hate when mechanics think that because I'm a female, they can take advantage! I grew up around honest mechanics, so I know a thing or two and work on my own cars when I'm able. Somethings, you have no choice, new tires, alignment, etc..
@JakeO curious what degree do you got? how much mechanic experience you talkin about? how many engines and tranys have you repaired?
@@jaminova_1969 your correct, i work on my own car for most of my work needed, brakes rotors, fluids, gaskets, plugs, just normal maitnance that saves a lot of money instead of taking to a shop and some things i even did at a shop like aligning the wheels, doing brakes at a shop too, but i still will take my car in for new tires, new alignment, or new struts somtimes can be a pain to install yourself on exotic cars. anyway i agree with ya some things your just better taking in for work but 3/4th of the time its maintenance or repairs i can do myself.
When he said it was best to torque the lugnuts. *Sigh* well, that explains a lot .
Thanks for the great videos Scotty!
I don’t know why, but this is my favorite Scotty video.
I've seen most discount tire places never using a torque wrench when put the tire back on. Good stuff, great info.
Standing on the tire iron while another guy holds it
I work at the dealer... All the technicians use impact tools for putting on wheels... All the time.. No1 has the time and patience for a torque wrench
@@tykohondo you can put a tourqe link in line with the impact wrench
@@groundpounder4134 they dont do any of that jist make it as tight as posibble with their gun... Brrrrrr.... Brrr
The tire places I've been using have been using torque wrenches for years. I noticed a change way back in the mid to late 70s. The gas stations of that era that offered repair and tire replacement services tended to not use torque wrenches on the lug nuts. It could make changing a flat tire impossible. Torque wrench use is much more common these days. Even Costco uses a torque wrench.
Never disappointed in your videos. Direct and entertaining plus I learn something in everyone one. Thanks for doing what you do.
Love your honesty. It's refreshing these days
I’m moving to where you live Scott! We need a good and honest mechanic like you!
Heck, I'd move in his house. Scotty, I'll live in your closet if you have space for me.

Yeah it’s cause they pay 10$ per hour make more cashiering at a grocery store lol
@@TheMechanicj it’s an insanely easy job. The hardest part would be balancing the wheels lmao

@@alexcastaneda2233 it’s not easier than putting van vegetables on a bag a tire tech can kill someone if they mess up the lug nuts too tight or too loose or cause thousand of dollars of damage dropping a car off a lift drop some beans dam ur out 1$ drop a Mercedes off a lift ur tout 60000$ get real man cashiers at a grocery store should make 1/2 what a tire tech makes
@@TheMechanicj if the tech doesn’t know exact torque specs of different vehicle manufacturers they should not even get hired. Like with how every Honda should be 80 ft pounds of torque on the lugnuts.
I see that all the time; balancing tires without removing the old weights. That was a lot of weights!

The likely hood of having a perfectly balanced tire with out weights is out of the ordinary. I am never that lucky......
I've had to back to my mechanic to re balance my wheels right after I got an alignment. He still got it wrong it still was shaking.

Virtually impossible due to the valve stem and (possibly) the TPMS sensor.

Love Scotty 😂 my guy has taught me so much in such a short period of time
My Grandfather used to use a bubble balancer when he owned a gas station in the 60's. I worked at a farmer's CO-OP tire shop when I was a youngster. My son uses a computer balancer as he is the manager of a discount tire shop. He does good work and has a lot of commercial accounts. Not all locally owned discount tire shops are bad.
I agree. The analogy that works best is the pizza shop with the best reputation in the world is no better than the person that made your pizza at that given moment........

Love the channel Scotty. Keep it up!
I've always dreaded getting tires because tire shops rarely use torque wrenches and look at you like you're the problem when you ask for it.
Not only does the shop I work at require you to use a torque wrench, you have to have another tech double check your torque and sign off on it before it gets pulled out lol.
@@SteelWorksGuy where at
I do have a slight confession to make, I used to work at a tire shop called "Town Fair Tire" in my hometown and man we had some angry customers. Thank God I don't work there anymore because I was being yelled at too many times and let every one of my coworkers down but that was due to being misunderstood all the time. Anyways I remembered this one lady that was obviously angry because of course one of my coworkers made a huge mistake but she kind of yelled on top of her lungs why her car was operating right. However on that day one of her kind family members apologized on her behalf and said that her sister or twin sister died, hints why she took it out on everybody. Never again I will work at a tire shop like "Town Fair Tire" due to being misunderstood and yelled at all the time by my coworkers. Scotty may I have the product please?😁 If so how do I win it?
Well Scotty anyone can make mistakes. I had a problem with the tire. Was in El Paso leaving there for California a my car at 60 miles an hour starts bouncing I pulled over checked all four tires for a bubble or separation or whatever might be going on on the tires. So I'm in the middle of no place cuz I'm on the highway 9 heading along the Mexico border and Mexican border decided Well I'll baby it at 55 or didn't vibrate. And I called a friend ask him about what he thought that might be cuz I couldn't find a bubble or separation. he said maybe you threw a weight. And I start thinking about it I said I'll bet you that's what it is well I got the Tucson I Not only was missing a weight but the tire was starting to go bad the cut at the very beginning Discount Tire gave me a brand new tire for $37 which was a $200 Tire good thing I had the warranty this time.
