YouTube Automotive Channel Favorites

YouTube automotive channels are a great resource for buying, fixing or rebuilding vehicles.  Not all channels are created equal, so you must be careful.  I watch a lot of automotive content daily and have found some very reliable sources of information.  Not only is the information trustworthy, it is also entertaining due to the presentation style of the creators.

Since anybody with a phone and a little knowledge can post videos, it is difficult to know who is qualified to give automotive advice.  That’s why I vetted a number of YouTube channels, split into the three categories below.

Car Review Channels

If you are in the market for a new vehicle, it helps to get the perspective of a professional.  During my shopping process, I found the following five YouTube channels to be extremely helpful:

Auto Buyers Guide 

GT: Garage Talk

Raiti’s Rides

SavageGeese

Texas Truck Channel/TTC Cars

Each channel creator has a different perspective, but each has earned my trust with their reviews.  For more details on each channel, check out my Favorite Car REVIEW Channels article.

Car Repair Channels

For those of you who enjoy working on cars or seek out a specific fix, I recommend my five Favorite Car REPAIR Channels in the list below:

1AAuto

Dave’s Auto Center

Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics

Royalty Auto Service

South Main Auto

Most of these channels also show diagnostics on tough to solve vehicle issues.  I’m pretty good with a wrench, but electrical and computer issues test my abilities.  I’ve learned a lot from watching these creators, and think you will too.

Project Car Channels

Sometimes it is fun to look beyond buying and fixing cars.  That’s why I like to watch talented people revitalize, modify or restore an older vehicle.  It is fun to imagine the possibilities when bringing an old car back to life, and these five channels offer something for everyone:

Pole Barn Garage

Sarah-n-Tuned

Speed Bump Garage

Tom’s Refurb

Vice Grip Garage

For more detail and links to these channels, please see my Favorite PROJECT CAR Channels article.

Final Thoughts

I have been buying, selling, fixing, and modifying vehicles for nearly fifty years.  Based on this experience, I highly recommend each of the YouTube automotive channels covered here.  Some content creators do burn out or their content quality decreases.  When this happens, they are removed from my favorites list and replaced.  

I am always on the lookout for other automotive content creators in each of the three categories, so please share any of your favorites in the comment section.
