Maybe he was just a shitty old mechanic?
TPMS light always on. I refuse to own a car with a tire pressure monitoring system.
This is probably one of the easiest thermostats to change
I had an overheating problem especially when the outside temperature was in the 90s. The thermostat was recently replaced 6 months before. Turns out, they showed me you can hold the radiator fan still with just your fingers. The cooling fan clutch needed replacing. Fixed the problem..
Great piece, nice detailed investigative work! Please, lose the shades . . . they make you look somewhat less credible. They are counterproductive. Again, great, VERY useful stuff!
This is another reason why I will never deal with the criminal corporation called toyota
Charging over 400 for a fraudulent repair is grand theft and the police should have been called
Multiple personality can't decide what he likes. Lol… Channels mostly Toyota propaganda.
Absolutely Correct. The thermostat is my 1 check on overheating issues. Water pumps are usually easy to diagnose,
Solid learning presented as fun👍
Or you could go pay the cowboys to play with your car , yeehah!
I once had a break job. Left the shop and got on the freeway. Car started shaking. Pulled to the side of the road and found that they had not tightened the lug nuts!!! They could have killed me. Went back to the shop and they just ignored me as if they couldn't hear.
The problem is not perce the jong mechanic the problem is his her boss telling to do it that way!
I once worked at a Chevy Dealership in Gilbert AZ. They quit paying the mechanics for a road test. I then managed a shop in Tucson that the owners complained there were too many come-backs. I started road testing everything myself, after the mechanic had road tested it. At first I had to make the mechanics redo a lot of stuff. No surprise that in time things got better. Trust but verify.
just take it to a mechanic you trust SIMPLE AS THAT
I remember taking my 91 Tercel to dealer for timing belt replacement $600 but after picking up and driving so many miles engine light came on. Called dealer they wanted to charge $120 diagnostic fee i was like no i brought car in with no problem just for service. So anyhow general manager hooked it up turns out mechanic forgot to connect o2 sensor
So many "Thats what she saids" lol 😛
Just kick the tires and that should fix head gasket issues works everytime lol
@Whoop!
I love watching these and talking to my grandpa and he gets surprised that i know all this
Toyota dealerships have been scamming people for years, sad thing is Scotty praises Toyotas and wonder how many people go there and get took?……j.s.
Get rid of the car because of a leaky head gaslet? How about replace the head gasket Scotty?
Best to never take your vehicle to a dealer
Have had good luck with Bars leak. Stuff is amazing for small leaks. Don't know about head gaskets blown so bad that when you start a cold engine with the radiator cap off and it shoots water out of the radiator over the hood. Lol
The reason they get such crappie technicians is due to the fact that their pay rates are absolute TRASH and the service advisors cannot explain what is spelled out in BLACK AND WHITE ON PAPER. Good workers get sick of it and leave. I worked for Honda AND Toyota Dealerships. Now, don't get me wrong, I loved working on those cars. Phenomenal cars. Honda I made good money with. They took care of us, the customers loved their vehicles, and we took care of them. It worked until my service manager quit and the SM from the GM side of the dealership took his place, lol. Their SM's are as about as unreliable as their vehicles, and they certainly cannot run a Honda service center.
HOWEVER, most of the Toyota team I worked with up front (service advisors) couldn't sell a $1 blanket to a person in the cold, much less sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves. Frankly, I got sick of making 30 flat rate hours a week when I was there for 45 hours. That's as BACKWARDS as it gets for a flat rate paid technician. Toyota was GIVING it away with the new cars and everyone who had even half a brain with an older Toyota didn't come to us. Rightly so as mentioned why above in regards to our Advisors. Sometimes Scotty, it isn't the techs but the nimrods they hire to sell our work. I actually went to the SM and begged him to let me sell my repair orders and they wouldn't allow it. Unreal.
Down the road I started doing all my work on the side for my family and friends. I'd give them a complete rundown of what was wrong and occasionally wasn't equipped to handle the job due to a lack of certain tools (I got robbed in 2014, sad story, not worth going into). So I'd tell them to hit up certain spots I knew were decent and see what they said vs what I'd said. Oftentimes I'd have to call and talk with the Advisors and 9 times out of 10, the Advisor's tongue would suddenly get twisted when I started running circles around their poorly crafted sales pitch.
Example, I sent my sister in law to Kia about confirming a bearing issue. They tried to sell her rotors and tires, lol. The gravy work as it were. I laughed hysterically and told her to take it easy on the car until we got a decent day for me to swap out the LR hub unit on her 2015 Soul. Did it, noise went away. I had half a mind to goto the service center and drop the dead hub unit on the SM's desk after telling them her story. I really tend to wonder what's going on at Dealership service centers these days as it's not like it was when I was in it back in the mid to late 2000s.
“Like” if you see the face @03:21 😳
Thermostat change should be apart of the service intervalls i always change them when i buy a used car
Yah Scotty that's the problem with a lot of stupid mechanics these day's, just want fast easy money, with no conscience, just like new doctors
When you love what you do.
Sticks in deep…
bare finger(s) works well as well.
Push in hole
Do you always wear a wad of keys on your belt when you work on people's cars?
All dillers is scammers
empowering people, Scotty! thnks !!!
Scotty Kilmer your TPMS is on you have to fix it hahaha
Hey Scott you left out the part where you hunted around for 45 minutes for the 10mm socket and the trip to the parts store to buy one.
I can imagine bringing a car in with a flat. It’s gotta be the suspension. Change out the entire suspension.
I love your videos, but nothing in this video was a “dealership scam caught on camera.”
