I have been watching Scotty Kilmer for a couple years now to help me fix my vehicles and the guy is fantastic! This one is really cool because he explains the satisfaction you get from solving your own problems when it comes to your cars. I watch lots of other folks too when I need to fix something specific but Scotty is really good at getting the gist of a repair explained usually in right around 5 minutes. I can only imagine how much money he and other folks on youtube have saved me.
For example I was afraid of drum brakes and didn't touch them. Now my Ford Focus has drums on the back and @ 125,000 I figured I better quit being a girl and take a look lest they fuck up and leave me stranded. Scotty had a video explaining drum brakes, how they work how to adjust them and how to change the shoes.
I brought my laptop out to the garage and went through it step by step and feck me I'm not afraid of drum brakes anymore. I cleaned, lubed and adjusted them. They didn't need to have the shoes replaced they are still in great shape mainly because 90% or more of my driving is highway . So now I know my rear brakes are good to go for another 90,000 or so.
Had I brought it in I most likely would have gotten robbed. You do this a few times a year and you are saving yourself thousands of dollars.
