Hearted Youtube comments on The Car Care Nut (@TheCarCareNut) channel.

  1. I was a Porsche tech for over 10 years and finally reached my limit on how so many customers were treated and often ripped off. I started my own shop in Eastern LI where all I did was European cars. Like you, my shop was spotless and within 6 months I was on fire with work (good timing). Other repair shops were killing me with jobs they didn't know how to do. Jobs like timing belts, fuel injection, ABS systems, etc. I loved rebuilding engines and the satisfaction of hitting that key and hearing it "breath fire". I could go on, but I needed to say what a great, honest, and professional technician you present yourself to be. Rare in this field today. Good luck and good fortune to you and your endeavors.

  2. I work for Toyota at TMMI, I work in the assembly shop building Toyota vehicles and I’m proud to see videos like this. I take pride in knowing we build a solid product that is consistently reliable over all platforms.

  8. Bringing your Toyota to the dealer for maintenance is another reason owners don't keep up with maintenance. The prices they charge and the upsells are ridiculous. ! ! ! !

  9. Engine Oil - 5k miles or 6 months Transmission Fluid - 60k miles or 6 years Coolant - 50k miles or 5 years Brake Fluid - 3 to 5 years Power Steering - 50k to 70k miles Spark Plugs - 120k miles or 10 years Inspect it regularly Keep a log

  10. Bought my LS400 the first weekend they went on sale in California. My nephew still drives it. Besides maintenance items and 1 water pump, and one starter it’s all original after 535,000 miles!!!!!!

  13. Toyota dealerships are the worst. I visited two in my area (Virginia Beach, VA area); they were both arrogant and rude. I have excellent credit and I was ready to buy with a decent cash down payment. Not trying to brag, but I'm the definition of a good customer. One sales manager got angry with me when I refused to pay a markup. They both felt entitled to my business. I bought a Mazda instead of a Toyota.

  14. I am the owner and I really appreciate you for taking the time and fixing my car. Thanks to you it won’t be going to the junk yard :)

  15. This guy works for a Toyota Dealership. Yet, he is HONEST enough to be BLUNT and state not to let the dealership rip you the hell off.. He deserves to be VP of Operations for Toyota Corporate

  16. The only features I want are power windows, locks, AC, Bluetooth stereo and backup camera. That’s luxury to me. The rest is fluff. I don’t want to drive the equivalent of an iPad on wheels.

  19. I worked for a car manufacturer for almost 3 decades. Every engineer from power train group I ever worked with was not favorable to long drain intervals. The environmental impact of waste oil and competitive pressures for low maintenance costs pushed their managers to do it. The reduced water jacket height in block and oil spray jets allowed oil to get to evaporating temp for fuel and moisture and better oil all got them to the best result. THEN reduced friction was the goal and ring width and spring force were one the first and easiest things to do to reduce effort needed to turn engine over. High output demands then got us turbochargers. The ring heat and more plastic like particle formation got the ring groove sludge build that sticks rings. The basic indisputable fact is that ANY oil gains contaminants with engine use hours. Dirt particles smaller than air filter capture size and fuel that is not combusted that is on cylinder walls and is scraped down by rings will accrue in the oil. Synthetic oil is better at tolerating this but it is still oil and still accrues the same stuff. Superfine bypass flow oil filtering can get the particles but still you have the other dilutes building up. As stated, ONLY MORE FREQUENT OIL SERVICE fixes this. So you buy a prepaid maintenance plan and it only covers the standard schedule? Find a trusted quick lube and get the base service oil change. If you keep the car it will pay it back. Even without ring concerns the overwhelming bulk of vehicles have timing chains and variable cam timing. Those c omponents suffer from the dilutes in oil causing wear not seen in 150K mile engines with more oil changes done. Camshaft in hemis, tappets in GM V8s, and cam phasers in some Fords? Not seen much at all when the oil changes were done at 5K interval. Listen to Car Care Nut

  20. My strategy for dealing with this question is to never buy a car having a turbo engine.

  21. Scotty will be upset - you didn't mention the 1994 Celica 😂

  22. The car mechanic world needs ten thousand more people like you.

  25. Owner of the car here! TCCM has done an incredible job. Just drove it out of the shop today. I've loved this car for so many years and hope to get many more out of it. 300k and I still love it 😁 Regular maintenance, regular cleaning has served me well.

  26. I have owned Hondas for over 3 decades and last decade have owned Toyotas. By far, Toyotas ages more gracefully than Hondas. Toyotas also are annoyingly reliable. You will only sell your Toyota if you are bored with the vehicle…not because of quality issues.

  27. My mechanic has retired and I really trusted him. He was honest and charged reasonable rates. At times, he didn't want to work on my car, a '91 Corolla, because he said the repair was worth more than the car. At 300K, he told me I had taken a gasoline engine to the edge of its envelope. At one point, I had the transmission rebuilt and it cost me $1900 (it really only needed a 5th gear synchro but I just had them do it all). This was at around 427K miles. He took a long look at me and finally said, "Do you have an emotional attachment to this car? Because you could get one with about 150K on it for $1500." I told him that I love it more than life itself. I might have even said I planned to be buried in it. It is the only car I have ever owned since new. It is a long, sad story but I took that car to 634K and it was still getting well over 40MPG (manual trans). I don't regret a penny spent on it. I now have another '91 Corolla I bought 6 years ago with just under 59K on it and when it arrived, it looked museum quality, showroom new. It was so clean-everywhere- I would have gladly LICKED ANY surface on it! I just hope that everyone can find a car that they love as much as I love my Corolla. Cheers

  32. The perception of declining quality is driving the prices of the older models off the charts.

  33. Common problem is that your wallet gets stuffed with so much extra money due to low cost maintainance.

  34. I met our famous YouTuber yesterday and I just wanna say, he went out his way sat down with me and discussed what I should do with my car as for maintenance wise and what the issue was. Man I kid you not never had a mechanic like him do this, felt like I was in great hands which I was! Best mechanic out here !!!

  37. A friend of mine in Japan is working for Toyota R&D in Aichi. He said all the components for Lexus are produced under much more strict quality control than those for Toyota cars. It is known in Japan that Toyota has the toughest quality control than any other motor companies but Lexus has more than that. Another friend of mine who is working for Bridgestone R&D in Japan told tires refused by Lexus could be sold to other motor companies. This is the level of quality control employed in Lexus.

  39. Thank you for figuring out this problem! This car was sitting at my house and different mechanic shops for months because no one can figure out the issue. Their lack of expertise costed my brother an arm and leg but your experience was something worth waiting a few months for!

  41. What a crime. To not change the oil on a Lexus or Toyota after 46K should be a crime. They don't deserve a Lexus.

  42. Sir, I was a Federal OSHA Inspector from 1982 - 2002. I can tell you after viewing several of your videos that you maintain a degree of perfection, I've seldom seen! One could honestly eat off the floors of your shop. You always wear proper PPE and immediately clean up small spills. You also collect and label your waste fluids. I'll even bet you have a nice file for your MSDS records for working with chemicals. All I'm attempting to say is: Well, Done! I'm impressed!

  43. Can you do a video on how you would use this scan tool on a used car before purchase? Upvote this if you want this video made.

  44. I drive a 2007 Prius which now has 300,000 miles on it. Still has the original battery and still gets 50 mi/gallon. The only repairs beyond regular oil and filter changes have been to replace the spark plugs once, a few years ago. I LOVE this car!

  45. Nobody does hybrids better than Toyota.

  46. I work at a Toyota factory. we Kaizen our processes every day. If we can find something wrong, we fix it... make it better... They actually listen to us a plant employees and that's what I like about working for them...

  47. When I listen to you I feel like I'm in a collage classroom listening to the best professor on the subject. Thank you so much for giving us your valuable time.

  49. If I were discouraged from DIY years ago when I got started I'd never have learned as much as I have. I've saved tens of thousands of dollars doing work myself and improve each time I turn the wrench. There will always be mistakes made. Better to make the mistakes yourself & learn (while amassing a collection of tools) than pay someone to make mistakes anyway. Not everyone has access to a mechanic like this gentleman. And not everyone has the budget for it either. We live in a special era where folks like this share their incredibly valuable expertise FOR FREE! Take advantage and realize you can always hire an expert to rescue you (like in this video). This is my favorite YT channel by a long shot

  50. I think a lot of dealer mechanics now are more parts replacers than actual mechanics.
