Now dedicating his life to sharing his knowledge, the American hopes to help out as many people as possible.
Having since amassed a huge following of nearly 800k on TikTok, Scotty has started to become popular across more and more social media sites.
And instead of busting myths and sharing hacks, he has now warned why you should never buy a car from a certain country.
Scotty said the less-than minimum wage that workers get paid should deter everyone from purchasing from Mexico.
The country is the sixth-largest major car manufacturer – providing more than 24,000 jobs.
Last year, they made nearly 10,000 motors that were shipped across the world as well as sold locally, according to Trade.gov.
In a recent video, he said: “Today I’m going to talk about the downfall of general motor (GM) vehicles.
“They made them pretty good back then. But many of the modern GM vehicles are made in Mexico where some of the workers are paid £6 for a 12-hour work day – not per hour.
“They’re not lowering the price to you they’re just increasing their profits.
“I have to say, the old ones are great [but] the new ones? I have customers that said I’ll never buy another after that last one I got.”
It comes after he shared his golden advice on the worst car to buy second hand.
In light of this information, Scotty offered his viewers the five best used cars he recommends getting.
