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

  1. Gotta have a shoutout to Jose the cameraman for giving us great viewing on close ups. Appreciate the work. Thanks Ahmed too for the great videos.

  2. "Take care of the car it will take care of you!" I wish more people would follow that logic. This vehicle with 300,000 miles is proof the logic works! VERY good shape under the hood, interior and exterior. Thank you for this video.

  3. $7k is actually less than I thought when I saw how everything started going wrong and stripping and breaking off. I actually thought it was reasonable for this to be like $10k+ due to all the work and things that needed to be replaced so I would say that's actually well worth it considering how garbage the new and used car market is currently.

  4. This is the best channel on Toyota technology! Great explanations backed up by real world examples.

  5. Being a talented technician makes you the perfect person to review cars for what they really are. Transportation devices, that you need to be useful and reliable.

  6. AMD, I believe that you and perhaps a handful of mechanics are honest enough to do such inspections. Most dealers would not go this length. My respect and gratitude for your hard work!

  7. Many years ago I took my car to a mechanic for poor idle and stalling. On the invoice it said throttle body cleaning and I was charged almost $100. I didn't know what it was at the time but found out later on that it is a simple job. Ever since I've been cleaning it every 50k miles or so.

  8. I would like to say it’s very impressive that you have to time to film, teach and explain everything while taking the engine out of a car. That requires a lot of time and energy while staying concentrated on the job. Your an amazing technician. I’m 18 and I would love be to mentored by you. So thank you for making these videos and teaching me things I would never hear from just any technician.

  9. Yes! Please keep these types of videos. They are a great addition to your regular videos. Don’t stop those either. But these series are great also. They are inspiring me to do the same type of project. I am restoring my dad’s truck I inherited from him when he passed away.

  10. A video that takes so much effort from such a skilled and honest automotive technician. This is the first super thanks comment I've ever given.

  11. May the Lord bless you, keep you, and shine his countenance upon you. Great video.

  12. As Toyota Fans we take pride in our stuff. And appreciate someone who’s willing to drop the knowledge of a Pro at the highest level right at our convenience. Subbed

  13. Hello, I have been a Toyota Master Technician for about 30 years. I own a 2005 Toyota 4runner limited 4.7. I change the oil every 3000 miles. I now have 300,000 miles on it and it still running strong! I keep telling my customers the same things you are talking about and I wanted to say great job on the video 👍

  14. This is why I’m scared of buying used cars, I have no idea how the previous owner treated their car.

  15. I’m glad you told your story about how things we take for granted are considered a privilege in your home country. Japan was the same way after WW2 which is why Japanese cars are so well built. When they could finally afford to buy one it had to last forever. This is how it is in most of the world. People who have money don’t take care of their cars because it’s disposable to them. You appreciate it more when it’s all you have and all you can afford.

  16. When I was looking to get one all the bad reviews were really off putting. Purchased one against all advice. I can't explain how much I love this car. It is a joy to drive. No issues merging, handles great, honestly its so easy to drive I find myself speeding often just because this car makes driving mindless. Its good enough to fit a 55" tv or groceries but not much more than that. However as a daily driver, its a joy.

  17. Excellent video; so nice to watch a professional who isn't trying to be a clown. Straight facts based on experience with a pleasant presentation style........ what's not to like?
    129
  18. I'm an advanced diy mechanic. I've learned alot through the years and still learning. I am blessed with a blue driver scan tool that does basic functions. You and your channel have been a blessing to me and my family. I have learned so much from you and I am thankful for the content you bring to us on a free basis. Keep up the good work AMD and have a blessed new year in 2022!!

  19. This is why Toyota mechanics have nothing to do! Lexus cars are so well made. I prefer the ones made in Japan.....I don't care what anyone else say. You can't compare workmanship between a vehicle made in Japan vs vehicles assembled in America.

  20. AMD, I used to hold the naive notion that a top Lexus was as worry free as a simple Corolla, Camry or Yaris. While I still admire these top Lexus models, your channel has EDUCATED us about the realistic cost of long-term ownership that comes with the best cars in the world. Although my car is just a poor, distant cousin of this LS, it does offer me the 'luxury' of being uncomplicated. Best of luck to the family owning this beautiful LS 430, their car is certainly in good hands. 😁
    129
  21. Well I guess it’s safe to say the 4th Gen hybrid system is extremely reliable.
    129
  22. My vote is get a used transmission. Since this got to 600k and there are many LS430s in the 200-400k range on original transmissions I think a used transmission with low miles should be just fine.
    128
  23. CCN: loses sleep over timing belts. Car enthusiasts all over the world: I understand! 😂

  24. Congratulations on the ONE Million Subscribers. I've been with you since your time in the home garage in the 'good old days'. All the Best in the Future~!

  25. I knew about this (and the prices!) for several years, but wondered why I had never seen a YouTube video on it. Good work!
    128
  26. Man, this guy is so cool. Really makes me love and appreciate my collection of my Toyotas. I really want to take my Sequoia to this guy one day, to keep it running like the Toyota it is. He's just so thorough about everything.
    128
  27. Great advice as always. I have a 1993 Toyota Previa with 275,000 miles and it still runs as good as the day I drove it off the showroom. All of what you said here is what I have been mindful about throughout the years I owned it. Preventive maintenance is the key to longevity.
    128
  28. You deserve every blessing that you have earned. Congratulations from a long time viewer.🎉

  29. Once you get big like Scotty K. Don't quit being a great Toyota Master Mechanic!

  30. I would trust Toyota to work out all the issues after another 2-3 years and perfect it, but until then I’d be cautious
    127
  31. When the new Ranger came out I was debating on that or a Tacoma. My wife said "you want bells and whistles or something reliable, dependable and when it hits 300k will still be worth more than a Ford". I ended up with a '17 TRD Sport and very happy with it.
    127
  32. You’re the only guy I trust on how to videos for my Camry. I’ve watched a bunch of other Youtubers and you are by far the best
    127
  33. To be honest, quality of your heart trumps editing or any other fancy sound quality.
    126
  34. This is why looking for a new mechanic is such a terrifying experience. From butchering up your vehicles electronics, to forgetting to tighten lug nuts, every shop visit is a roll of the dice. I'm in your area, and I'm looking for a mechanic, but unfortunately, I don't drive a Toyota. So let the adventure begin! God help me.
    126
  35. The main reason I watch these is cause it's a dream to see a mechanic so dedicated on doing the job right. Hard to find a mechanic who would either know how to do it right or even take the time to do it. Thanks for showing this cause I replaced the original motor on my older Toyota and realize I probably messed up the jam protection and auto roll up.
    126
  36. I drove from NY to his shop in Illinois…13 1/2 hours. I would do it again tomorrow! You WON’T find a more honest or better mechanic anywhere! Period!
    126
  37. Once I started owning Lexus, I have not turned back. I love every one of these: RX350 RX450H SC400 GS450H.
    126
  38. Dang AMD, you’re making it difficult for me to ever consider buying any other make of car! You’re content is fantastic. And I believe the 👎 for this video are from those who just bought a Fiat. 😁
    126
  39. One thing I am certain. When a customer drives away from your shop they will know their vehicle was repaired/serviced by the BEST in the business at a fair price, using quality parts and done right the first time! CONGRATS . God Bless You and your family!
    126
  40. Could listen to this man all day long. I trust his honest approach and his technical expertise. Well done and thank you!
    126
  41. Huge thanks for dropping lovely comments for my work! Honestly, was my first time using the GoProm so I hope I didn’t make you all dizzy lol. Let me know if you guys would be interested on watching AMD do an inspection on my car?!? Blessings 🌻

  42. A great testament to the virtues of routine maintenance. I own a 2010 Toyota Prius with 171,000 miles. With the exception of replacing the intake manifold and EGR valve, it has required only basic maintenance.
    126
  43. Where in this world can Toyota owners get this type of Toyota education and information. AMD is simply unbeatable. Toyota - You need to give AMD more awards and compensation to play fair. We get so much brand confidence and our brand loyalty is on steroids with each published video from this incredible channel.

  44. I worked at a Toyota dealer in the late 90's. We had a customer that had been transporting her pet snake in an aquarium, and the aquarium had broken- thus setting it free in the car. She had tried to get it out but it had made its way under the dash on the driver's side. Our service writer was an idiot, so here I was reaching under the dash to retrieve a very irate python from the confines of a Camry dashboard. I "suited up" (long sleeves and work gloves) and went to doing my best crocodile hunter impersonation. It is at this point I should pause to set the stage, it was mid February and about 20-odd degrees outside, and she had been running the heat on the way to the dealership. Now because of the way reptiles are assembled, that whole "heat" part does tend to amplify their state of being- see also: he was large, angry, and moving with a purpose. I, on the other hand was cold irritated and had no damned clue what my idiot boss had gotten me in to. All I had learned about snakes to this point in life had taught me that constrictors had no fangs, so I figured "no fangs, no problem", tossed on the gloves and went to reaching around like a near sighted gynecologist. It was after the bastard bit through the glove and made contact with skin that I realized that perhaps I didn't pay enough attention to Animal Planet, for it turns out that "lacking fangs" and "lacking teeth" were, in fact, two completely different concepts, and the ripped glove and (profusely bleeding) hand I pulled back out from under the dash were a testament to my epiphany. I proceeded to close the doors up and calmly walk to the first aid kit, and tend to my wounds (our service bay had a huge window that connected to the customer waiting area, so we had to be on our best behavior at all times). I spoke with the service manager (trying to get out of a rematch, seeing as I had just gotten my butt kicked by something incapable of self awareness), and was informed if the service writer sold it, I had to do it. So I cautiously get into the car, and adjust the seat. It bites the toe of my boot as I sat behind the wheel. I pull the car outside and use the only advantage I have over the oversized worm with an attitude problem- I am warm blooded, b#tch. I open the sunroof crack all of the windows, and put the A/C on max. It eventually releases my boot, and I exit the vehicle. I probably could've gotten it out quicker than I did, but I let that car outside running for about 3hrs. When I went back out to see if it was ready to leave yet I found that it was still irritated, still frightened, but in MUCH less of a hurry, and was much more compliant than the gash in my hand would have led me to believe. It took about 30 mins to untangle it, but I pulled a 6.5 foot long snake out from under the dash without further injury, and the only collateral damage to the vehicle was the brake switch had been broken at some point during our wrestling match. fast forward to the following friday, and I'm going over my flag hours, and I see "remove snake/ 0.3hrs"....

  45. After years of looking at many many mechanic videos, this is the absolute best video I have ever seen for explaining and reasoning on engine repair or replacement of a high mileage engine. Thank you for your professional courtesy!

  46. I have been using Mobil 1 full synthetic every 5,000 miles in my old 4Runner since it was new. It is now nearing 200,000 miles and still runs like new and does not use any oil. When I started driving, my dad taught me that the number one most important thing to make your car last is to change the oil frequently.
    125
  47. I have 30 years experience as an Air Craft Maintenance Director. This is the very best You Tube presentation by an actual auto mechanic I have ever heard. Bar None! This guy's credibility is 'Sky High" in my book!

  48. Job well done!!!!! Amount spent is $62,000. Entertainment value over $1,000,000. I can’t think of any shows, movies, videos etc that have as much value as this series. As an ex LS430 owner it was especially interesting for me. I loved every one of these videos!!!! Like the show “This old House “ there is a cost to produce it. What you spent to produce this series is minimal and you ended up with a car that I would love to have. Well done!!!!

  49. It takes a fantastic mechanic to keep the audience completely engaged in watching old grimy parts come off ( when the parts are old and stubborn ). Your thoughts and commentary working thru problems is humorous and brilliant. The restraint to resist unloading with obscenities is in itself, worthy of some type of YouTube Academy Award. May The Lord continue to bless y’all! Much love and admiration from Texas!

  50. I traded my first Tesla for a Lexus and our second Tesla for a RAV4 Prime. No regrets. OK, I should have done it sooner. Tesla = garbage quality + hype.
