rev up your engines, today I have to admit something, I've been telling people
that I've been working on cars for the last 50 years, well that's not true
because today's my birthday and now I've been working on cars for 51 years
because my grandfather Elmer Kilmer, yes that was his real name
they had strange ideas in the 1800's when he was born about people's names he
was still working on cars when he was 85 years old and the only reason he stopped
was cuz my father retired and shut down the corner gas station and he didn't
have the place to go and work, now part of the reason my father shut the garage
down cuz he always said to me, your grandfather doesn't charge people enough
money, he basically liked helping people out he
wasn't that greedy it wasn't that interested in becoming a millionaire and I'm pretty
much the same I like helping people out only I took it a to scale a bit further
than my grandfather, he fixed cars one at a time in a small corner gas station but
so far over 362 million people have watched my youtube videos and gotten car
repair help from me, so I'm helping a little bit more people than he did, I hate
seeing people getting ripped off, buying the wrong car or having somebody ripping them off
when their repairing their car, even if you're not gonna fix your car yourself
you need to know a reasonable amount about it so when something does break
they can't, say oh well the gearbox sprocket wenger broken it's gonna cost
five thousand dollars, you'll have enough knowledge to know, hey you're getting
ripped off go someplace else and if you notice I'm not sponsored by anyone, you
don't see me wearing a hat of some oil company, I'm just fixing cars showing
people what's good what's bad and although I'm old I've come a long way
from fixing cars that's my grandfather who used a lot of hammers and giant
screwdrivers to fix stuff, I keep up with the times like this fancy scan tool that
does all kinds of bi-directional testing when you're working on cars, hey my
grandfather's time the only thing that was electronic was the battery and the
headlights and the mechanical ignition system, things have changed well I
followed with the time, the only temperature gauge my grandfather was
familiar with was the temperature gauge on the dash of a car, but me hey I've got
a thermal-imaging camera for fixing cars, check this out you get heat images so
you can find if there's a problem by an area giving up too much heat, pretty cool
with technology has turned into and the Flair company even makes one you can plug
in on your cell phone that works quite well you don't have to buy this really
expensive one like I have, you can get one that actually has pretty good uses
too, let's say you're in the woods and your kids are lost hey you put that on it's
gonna find the heat in the woods where you're walking around looking for them, but really
I'm here to help everyone out with their car problems, every Thursday I have a
live car talk on YouTube live where you can ask me questions, that's at one
o'clock Central Standard Time and I do the same thing again Saturday morning at
10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time, you can ask me questions live on YouTube and I
answer them right there and every Monday I have mechanic Monday, where I show
tools or products that I've tested out myself and then at the end of the show I
give it away to one of the viewers and now every day of the week, I upload a
brand new video where viewers are asking me questions I answer them and add very
interesting graphics in the background to make you smile a little bit, but
buying a car that falls apart all the time or getting ripped off having your
car repaired, now that's no laughing matter so I'm
here to help prevent that from happening to you in the first place, I take all the
experience I have from fixing cars or the last 51 years and continuing to do
so to give you the truth about cars and I do have to say that over the years
I've lost a few customers because I was brutally honest, let's say they had a
Jaguar I said that's the biggest pile of junk ever made and then it fell apart on
them, well they got mad at me and never came back
but really being honest makes me happy and hey if you're honest to people all
the time, you're gonna give them good advice they're gonna keep watching you
and they're gonna be happier because they're not getting ripped off, and sure
there's a lot of false advertising out there in the real world, let's face it
you know, if somebody pays somebody to say how great something is, they don't
know if it's great or not, they say well how much you gonna pay me to tell
you how great that stuff is, instead here you're gonna get the truth about
products that work, products the don't, cars that work, cars that don't, tools you
should buy, and tools that hey you don't want to spend that kind of
money on if you just fixing your own car and your again I'm gonna be brutally
honest, I won't tell you to buy the five-dollar tool that's a piece of junk that's
gonna break in your hand and I'm not gonna tell you you gotta buy the $300
tool I'm gonna try to find a happy medium that's a decent tool that will
last for quite some time and you'd only have to mortgage your
house to buy it, and yes some viewers say I'm a hoarder and I need to clean up my
garage but I say no, a messy garage is the sign of a clean mind and my
grandfather Elmer would certainly agree, he was just like me
and I'm starting to get kind of like him every once in a while, I might leave a
tool in a car when I didn't used to but hey, I still know how to fix them and I'm
gonna continue helping all you people out there out, as long as I'm still
having fun and still have something going on inside my head, so stay tuned to
the Scotty killer channel to see what the next 51 years will bring,
hey people are living a lot longer these days you never know, so if you never want
to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
