I made the mistake of clicking on the video. Who watches this guy. Knows less than a rock and is more aggravating to listen to than Gilbert Gottfried Two things, he HATES mopars, and his "car repair" videos never show an actual repair. Wanna see repairs? Watch South Main Auto. He doesn't like mopars either but doesn't make a big deal of it or hesitate to call out the stupid in other makes. He also makes me glad I live where rust sleeps.

I don't know his background, but a guy who works in his driveway with a floor jack and has a garage straight out of "Hoarders" is not very impressive.
His "answering emails" videos don't help.
Most of these YT mechanics are just idiots.
There, I said it.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Ive a friend who does vids. I can hardly watch as they are so inaccurate. I try to get him to do better, clean some up and as a friend tell him the smarter people on this topic know how bad some of his info is.... his reply " For every 1 smart person there are 1000 idiots who like my vids."
The bothersome part is that 1000 idiots watch it and think its true and repeat, apply..... and even praise the vid maker.
I just try to watch the vids from people who do seem to be smart in there field and I hope and do learn a few things. There are many smart and informative people doing vids and many you can tell by the title of the vids. The wanna be stars are great at clickbait titles.
STOP POTATO HATE!

South Main Auto. Here is an example of a one man show that can diagnose and then repair ANYTHING. He get cars that other shops have fired the parts cannon and the problem persists. By the way- the public was mislead with OBD2 that the code "Tells you what part to replace."
Keep old mopars alive.

But Scotty is correct when he addresses people wanting a BMW or Mercedes as a daily driver. DONT. Even the people with lots of money balk at the cost of ownership/repairs on a German car with age and mileage. The Johnny paycheck to paycheck CC debt fella is in for a rude awakening when he sees how expensive that beautiful 16 year old beamer is to repair.

A used Merc / BMW / Audi etc could be free and would put most people in the poor house just trying to keep the thing running

Not hard to keep it running, or expensive really. You do have to invest some money and time in tools to DIY. If you are the normal type of BMW owner that takes it to the dealer, yeah you are going to pay out of every orifice you have and some you didn't know you had. Even the indy shops spell BMW like this, $$$.

One thing is he does have it somewhat right about the Toyotas to a point. However, in more recent years Toyota quality has gone down compared to what it used to be. They're not perfect by a long shot just look at the lower ball joint replacement needed on first generation generation Tundras and Sequoias. It's a 90k mile service item for the OEM joints provided you're not running a lift or abusing the vehicle. He did drive a 77 Chrysler Newport in one video. My take away is he liked driving it. His video titles are click bait and kind of discouraging for that reason.
