Pretty much every car repair channel starts off good, then quickly changes to fixing exotic cars that nobody can afford.
Scotty has the most clickbait titles. "If you have a car you will REGRET this ONE SIMPLE TRICK and DESTROY YOUR ENGINE" (video is about winter octane stabilizers or something completely mundane)
Man he has truly become unwatchable as of late, it sucks. That said a lot of other car/hardware channels have lost the plot like AvE
Yeah they sort of follow the same trajectory. I do like DeMuro still but it really depends on the car he's reviewing for how interested I am. Leno is also decent and I prefer his car content to anything he did on late night or comedy-wise. He has that professionalism as a presenter and has so much money that he can just buy like a Merlin engine or have anything he wants to professionally restored. Really cool to see some of that stuff.
Doug has always been iffy for me. I think it's his voice that grates me. If I watch one video, my feed gets loaded up.
I'm not a huge fan of his voice and all that but he's super enthusiastic and if the car is genuinely interesting it's fun.
Check out Garbage Time. It's a channel about an Aussie and his mechanic buddy repairing old, shitty cars. Many of the cars are Australian specific too.
Fuck yeaaaaah Garbage Time!
Go check out Aging Wheels if you don't mind old and or silly cars
Donut Media during the 350z hi car/low car thing was really good, but feels like they are just repeating the same content over and over now without getting much useful/interesting info now.
Chris Fix?
Hoovie's Garage, Tavarish, Samcrac the list goes on
Matt Armstrong. Lovely channel, but you’re right.
Yeah, people with car questions are always pointed to Chris by me.
Aging Wheels, Rainman Ray's Garage, and Garbage Time are all fantastic channels you should look into.
