rev up your engines, hornet killer says have you ever dealt with a crazy
customer, yeah few times in my life out of the
thousands of people that dealt with, I had to deal with people that were a
royal pain, but hey I'm a nice guy and I'm a
professional businessman, so all I did was say, okay you're not happy, here's the
bill just write him a check here's your money back, just go away and
never come back, it's not worth the hassle
you know, if somebody thinks they know more, and now I actually did that to a
guy and then three years later he came back, I guess he thought I was dumb and
didn't remember him he wanted me to work now his cars again, I said are you out of
your mind I gave you your money back, I said don't ever come back I would never
deal with you again, Ashley says Scotty I'm considering buying a
mark-1 mx-5 I'm concerned about rust if I use rust sealant to seal a chassis
keep it washed rather than get the mud off and wheel arches will it not rust
okay, yeah if it's not rusting yet yes you can do that, but here's the thing if
it's already started to rust, don't buy it, once you start to see that rust it's
too late, the damage has been done and the only way to fix it is to cut out
every rusted part just like removing cancer in people, and replacing it with
metal, Martin says tire question when you change from summer to winter
tires what are tire stores do and don'ts, should they be stored on the
wheels is it okay to store them off the wheels like they do at the tire shop,
well you can do whatever you want it doesn't hurt them taking them off, but of
course if you take them off and then put it back on the rims you got to keep
paying somebody to do that and rebalance it most guys if they've only got two wheel
drive, like front wheel drive or just rear wheel drive, what they do is they will
buy a set of just junk wheels at a junkyard and put the snow tires on them
and then they can just put their tires in a garage, put on snow tires themselves
and not have to pay somebody and over the course of four or five winters you're
saving money, but if you pay a guy to take them off and store them it doesn't hurt
anything doing that, but you're gonna keep paying them to put them on and put them
off balance them and all that nonsense,
Jordan davenport says Scotty I got an 01 Corolla since high school it's got two
hundred fourteen thousand miles, my dad is a master auto tech and he
said it has worn piston rings should I Drive it and add oil or get a used
engine for 300 bucks, if you can get a used engine for 300 bucks and it's got some
kind of guarantee go right ahead, but I mean hey oils cheap just keep adding oil
all you gotta do is change the spark plugs more often as the carbon builds
up on them, you never know I've seen them burn oil and
go another 200,000 miles, oil is cheap and engines aren't, if you're getting an
engine for 300 bucks who's to say that isn't gonna burn oil too, 300 isn't that much
for an engine odds are it's pretty well worn down the line too, crazy crow says
Scotty I got 69 VW Beetle I'm learning to restore, what is the next
older car you'd recommend to restore that's not too pricey but intermediate
level, you know I like the Mustangs but if you get a classic Mustang it's gonna
cost a lot of money they're expensive, so why not go kind of similar the Mustang
was based on the Ford Falcon chassis, so why not get a Ford Falcon, they don't go
for that much money, you know you could go out or I get a Dodge Dart
if you get a muscle car Dodge they go for a lot of money because people like
the Chargers from the sixties and stuff, but the darts were kind of fun and you
could get one of those, you might think about going for some of
those back, then Americans made pretty good cars,
roman says how long do jeep wranglers last, take into consideration
the abuse they take please, okay the older Jeep Wranglers were actually well
made solid could go a long time and the people that knew of course they didn't get
those crappy automatics, they got standard transmissions, the new ones
they're pretty much pieces of junk, since fiat bought out Chrysler their
quality has just gone down down and now they advertise even that
Jeep renegade, and it's just a Fiat 500 four-wheel drive, has nothing to do
with Jeep, so their quality isn't any good anymore but if you get it older one
it's been rebuilt and taken care of, they can really last almost forever,
Alice says Scotty I got an 04 Jeep Liberty the transmission goes forward when
I shift to the reverse the car won't move,
well your transmission is shot, that's how they break down, I did one a couple years
ago did the same thing, when I took it apart turns out that there was a problem
between the Sun gear and the planetary gear in Reverse, you're gonna have to get
it rebuilt or get a remanufactured transmission for it, that's just how
those things breakdown, it's often reversed that's the first gear of a
transmission that breaks down that's just how those things go, David
Cook says Scotty, got a 2011 Corolla with an oil leak coming from the timing cover,
how do I fix it, well normally it's just a valve cover gasket, but I have a video
how to find engine leaks in your car and all you got to do is put some
ultraviolet leak dye into the engine oil, drive it for 15 minutes, and then look at
it and see where the green dyes coming out and pray it's just the valve cover,
then you can just take the valve cover off put a new gasket in and put in it,
because if it's a timing cover it's a pretty involved job taking all that apart
and the belts and everything and resealing it, that's a pretty big job,
that's not any fun, so if you never want to miss another one
of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell!
