YouTube Mechanics

[Soft Cars]

What are your favorite YouTube mechanics? I find it difficult to search out good mechanics on YouTube because most of them are DIY hacks.

This one guy here is a pretty good with a good professional attitude. He's an ambulance mechanic:

South Main Auto
Pine Hollow Diagnostics

Both of those are good diag channels

FordTechMakuloco - Ford Specific
Watch Wes Work - Entertaining, whole lot of crap he has to work on

That's about it for me for pure repair-type channels, everything else car related is more entertainment in my subscription list.

For me FordTechMakuloco Is very informative for ford F150 topics. Now that my F150 Ecoboost is 10 years old his videos are very useful to me.

Car Wizard, Scotty, and Uncle Tony's are good entertainment for me but don't help me with my vehicles. But I still watch them.

Scotty needs to slow down on the click bait.

I like that uncle Tony tries and keeps the poor young kid hot rod approach to things. When your channel grows it’s very easy to start spending money and get away from that. I like the old school tips and tricks.

I'm subscribed to him, but honestly, I don't watch much of his stuff. The way he talks grates on my nerves a bit and is sortof a turnoff.

Whatever floats your boat. YMMV

Ray reminds me of a co-worker.... They talk EXACTLY the same way and I sometimes wonder if they are twins separated at birth.

To me, that guy always sounds like he's talking down to us, making it seem as if he's the only one capable of spotting even the most obvious of problems.

The ones who help me self solve a challenge I face in a basic repair when I Google or use YouTube search. One of them I believe was a chatty 18 year old girl on replacing the marker light on Acura ILX by reaching/stretching up thru fender instead of what “mechanics” wanted pulling apart vehicle from top.

I have repaired my Acura for years this way .

Haha, I think the same. Certain things he says or the way he says them gets to me all the time. Maybe it's something about working in a shop. Definitely not a regional thing, I'm on the other side of the country

I don’t care about YouTube mechanics. I sometimes watch them for entertainment, but overall I search for a specific issue and how to deal with it. I have enough experience to tell if what they show would work or makes sense and at that point I don’t care if they are DIYers, shade tree hacks, or actual mechanics.

Whatever gets the job done gets my vote and watch time.
