If they say it's an easy fix, ask why they didn't fix it.

Now I feel like I should walk away from my own car 😊
@MiamiWatchMods 3 years ago

Having a mechanic say that you should buy your own tool instead of overpaying a mechanic may be the most genuine thing I've heard in a while
@blakewolford8903 3 years ago

1. No exhaust smoke (0:20) 2. Make sure it idles normally (2:30) 3. No weird clacking on startup (3:40) 4. Check that it doesn’t have low oil/burning oil (5:30) 5. Make sure it shifts smoothly into reverse and forward in city and highway (6:30) 6. See how cruise control works on highway (7:45) 7. Use a scan tool to check for codes even if it doesn’t have a check engine light on (8:00)

I want a scan tool that yells "walk away."
@MrBerry-nb1ez 4 years ago

Scotty Has taught me that just about every car is junk... Just riding on luck.
@fellowsheep4Jesus 3 years ago

Things to check: Tailpipe smoke, oil leaks 00:20 Idling 02:28 Start-up 03:42 Oil level 05:28 Transmission - shifting in reverse & forward, uphill & downhill, city & highway 06:31 Cruise control driving 07:45 OBD scan 08:00
@seanmcd.8307 1 year ago

One thing I heard was when you start the car make sure to check that all the indicator/warning lights come on when the key is inserted and that they all turn off. If a warning light has been disabled it won't turn on at all where as it should always come on at first to indicate that it is still functioning.

There are 3 certainties in this universe: 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Scotty inserting a crazy animal picture on his personal sound effects 🤣

Recently went to a Honda dealer with my son to look at a 2019 Honda Fit Sport used with low miles my son is 21 and a ASE certified mechanic . It pulled hard to the left after test drive we popped the hood and noticed the car was repainted the front Bumper was replaced and you can see slight over spray near the rubber parts , also he heard a rattle when turning the steering wheel only way that will happen is if they replaced the air bag . After looking further it had a chunk taken out of one of the wheel beads the car was in a accident they acted like they didn't know this happens at the high end Dealers as well not the mom and pop shops .........it was a year old with 12-15k Wolf's in sheep's clothing out there

When you start the ignition, all the dashboard warning lights turn on for a couple of seconds. If the check engine light doesn’t come on then the warning light isn’t working.
@antbankzbruh 4 years ago

I shifted it in reverse on the highway like you said, seller had a bad day.
@tandrew7175 3 years ago

1 smoke from the tailpipe 2 does not idle correctly 3 clacking noises or rod knocking noises during startup 4 if it doesn't shift smoothly in the city or on the highway 5 use a scan tool to check for codes
