Scotty Kilmer ?
I see a few members have Houston,Texas listed as their home town. I've been following a mechanic,Scotty Kilmer, and his videos on YouTube and have been wondering if anyone has had any experiences with the guy? A little off the wall, but a fountain of knowledge on cars,motorcycles and trucks.

Youtube really helps when you need to replace a part or diagnose a problem on your vehicle. That's where I ran across Scotty. Very helpful and entertaining too.

He posts a couple of videos each day and has twice weekly one hour live sessions. So he doesn't have much time to actually work on cars, I think. I guess some people might call him an "eccentric", but I admire him for what he knows about cars. I always say, if you can fix a car, you can fix anything.Supposedly he originally had a local TV show and decided that he could reach more people, around the world even, by starting a YouTube channel.

He owns a shop. But I’m told he rarely works there anymore.
I’ve wondered about the crappy house myself
