rev up your engines, sealer says heelo Scotty will
American car makers ever build a car equalled to the quality of a Toyota or Lexus
probably not there's too much involved with planned obsolescence making them as
cheap as you can, making a higher profit margin and the cars that they do build
that I don't think that they'll ever, I mean in a 60s
American cars yeah they were known as good cars and lalala, but they're nothing
as reliable as the stuff that the Toyota and Honda put out, I remember saying to
my father when years and years ago I told him he should buy a Toyota Corolla he
did, and then that's all they ever bought for the next 30 years was Toyota
Corollas and they only had to buy two of them cuz they last so long, but I said
but Dad you had those you know Fords and Chevy's back in the
sixties, and he said they're not like these Toyota's he said your grandfather
was always missing with them and working on stuff, he said I don't do anything to the
toyotas except change the oil, so I doubt that they ever
will and even Toyota and Honda they're not as well made as they used to be, because
even they're learning a little bit about planned obsolescence and why should they
make a car that would last 600,000 miles you know then they won't sell as many
it's just, you know that's what happens in a capitalist economy, Matthew Abdul
says hey Scotty what's the hardest fix you've ever done on a car, well I
was nuts enough that I attempted and I got it done but I'll never do another
one, I had a customer with a Porsche 911 air-cooled 6 cylinder engines in the back,
and his intake manifold was warped so I had, because it was made out of plastic
you know you pay all this money for a car and they were one of the early
people to go to cheap plastic parts right, because oh they weigh less you
know, yeah plastic intake weighs like what 2 pounds less than a metal one, a
big weight saving you know, and I did it on the car and it was such a pain in the
butt, because of that stupid Porsche German design and then later I told the
Porsche mechanic, and he said you did that on the car how did you do it, I said
it was a giant pain in the butt he said oh we just pulled the whole
engine out of the car and do it and then put it back in, I said well you know
that's a lot of work he says, oh what do we care, we charge the customer $2,000
labor we don't care that was the hardest one I never did
another one again, I try to stay away from those things their
money pit ridiculous designed with a lot of plastic, just think about it plastic
parts on a hot air cooled engine that gets super hot I mean a recipe for
disaster mysterious Oklahoma, okay what's
mysterious about Oklahoma, hi Scotty should I get my oil changed at Walmart
they drain the oil through the top of the engine, I'm not a fan of that, now audis
do that all the time at the dealer because they have so much stuff on the
bottom of a car that you have to take off to get a drain hole it might take you
an hour, that they suck them out yeah, it can be
done but still there's gonna be some sludge and crud you're not gonna get out
it's always best to take the drain plug out, let it all drain by gravity when the
oil is warm, and it will get more sludge out, if you're gonna pay somebody change
the oil hey let them do the work and if they're not, get yourself a vacuum
pump I got when it cost me 80 bucks, and suck it out yourself rather than paying them
but your better taking the drain bowl cuz there's always more stuff is gonna come
out and it's not gonna come out when you suck it up cuz some of it is gonna
remain on the bottom, it's just common sense that's why they put the drain bolt
on them in the first place, f5c so say Scotty what do you think of armor all
care products well their decent car care products, but sometimes I found better
ones you know they got the armor all cleaner and stuff on it, it kind of
smells a little bit weird, I found better silicone based ones that
are made in California that work a little bit better, and like when it comes
to leather seats I found English companies that make
leather care products that's better than the stuff that they make, they make some
decent products yes, but it's like anything else if you do the research and
you have specialty items like leather seats, or you want to clean your clear
headlights there are better products out there just for one specific applications
whatever you do you don't want stuff that has alcohol in it, because the
alcohol actually dries out the plastic too and they'll actually make them crack
faster, so you always want to check to see what's inside them, if they have
alcohol I wouldn't advise using them I'd use ones, silicone is better because
the silicone preserves plastics and stuff and then beads water off, anna says Scotty
does Toyota send you a check, no as I said nobody sponsors me, I own Toyota's
cuz I'm a mechanic and I'm cheap I buy a car I want it to last thirty forty years
and they will if you take care of them, I do
get stuff from them all the time and it's the warning, take it in to change
the air bag on my old wife's 07 Toyota Matrix it's got one of those
recalls on airbags, so that's the only letter that I get from them, and hey some
of the stuff I said lately I've shown some
of the bad designs they did, some of the mistakes they did, I'm just out here to
tell the truth, and they still make the best cars for the money there's no
arguing that, their not paying me any money to
say it, I wouldn't want anybody to pay me money to say stuff cuz it's a bunch of
nonsense, the world's got enough garbage going around as it is, I mean hey that's why
I'm here for to help people out with the truth, I don't want people to get cars
that are crappy and break down, go and pay too much for repairs, so I try to help
everybody out that's what I'm here for, so if you never want to miss another one
of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
