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

  1. Very happy for you all, family and staff. You can say it’s all about the viewers, but we know better!

  2. Best video I have ever seen on the Toyota V6 spark plug change. Can’t believe how easy you make it look. Thanks.

  3. I work at an independent Toyota / Lexus repair shop....It's so important to stick to the maintenance schedules,use quality genuine parts and fluids and stay far far away from the quick lube shops that neglect to check other important things or overtighten or NOT tighten oil drain plugs.Your car is a big investment usually second to your house.DON'T cheap out on routine maintenance and ALWAYS have qualified people looking after it!

  4. I've worked as a Sales Consultant and a Sales Manager at several dealerships throughout my career. I am always amazed at how many genuinely stupid people are out there driving cars.

  5. Wonderful car. It’s great to see this through your eyes and hear how much you appreciate the engineering and design quality. You don’t see a car of this quality very often, not even in a Lexus.

  6. Your channel is exactly the reason we bought our GX460. Love the car. Perfect for where we live in northern Idaho.

  7. It’s always a good day when The Car Care nut uploads 😊😊

  8. My bits of knowledge... 1) don't fall in love with a specific car... always be prepared to walk away if its not the right deal, 2) don't overspend/stay within your budget, 3) shop around for deals & financing, 4) be aware salespeople are paid (commissions) by getting you to pay as much as possible for your car, and 5) you are a transaction to them... they are nice to you because they want your money. They are not your friend or looking to get you the best deal... their goal is to sell cars at the highest price you can (or even cannot) afford.

  9. Good advice on using neutral while stopped. I wore out a throw out bearing on my manual transmission Mazda RX-7 many years ago by leaving the transmission in first gear and just pushing down on the clutch while waiting at stop lights. It was a costly, but worthwhile lesson for many more years of driving manual transmissions.

  10. Bruh. That first minute was enough for me to say "Yeah, take my money."

  11. I have a 2013 LX570 and it is in very similar condition. The undercarriage might look even BETTER than this GX. I do all my own work myself and I continue to be amazed at how well built the LX vehicles are. Thank you for your videos.

  12. My grandmother drives her originally new bought 2005 Camry XLE. It's like new everywhere except the paint which she has accepted as a challenge to scratch as much as possible. Mechanically it's fantastic

  13. This guy is a legend

  14. Oh wow I saw that car on auction, I dropped out after it hit $4k. I’m sooooo glad you bought it!!!!! $4400 was a steal
    109
  15. I own a RAV4. I'm not a Prius lover but I sincerely hope this owner gets hundreds of thousands of more miles ! ! ! OBVIOUSLY, the owner does primo maintenance to this car. The body shine alone is amazing! The vehicle is also a testimony to Toyota's quality! Fantastic!
    109
  16. This is why I do my own work. Hard to find not only an honest mechanic but a competent one.
    109
  17. As a consumer ... I had to take a chill pill just realizing what you have to go through. God Bless You.

  18. Great video as always! I wanna add something from my expirenice. I drive Prius Prime so I have a real EV mode good for 40 km. ECO MODE ( in Hybrid or EV ) can be used as SNOW mode, when in slippery conditions. Basically an ECO MODE - could be a SNOW MODE as it is easier to control the throttle, especially in EV mode where the torque is available instantly. Just another way to use it

  19. AMD, For the record, my Toyota coolant is faithfully changed every 5 years!! How nice is it to have your own repair shop and have NO pressure to 'upsell' repairs? 😁
    109
  20. Great job Amd! You absolutely explained it the way we engineers would explain it to a non-technical audience. Lots of respect to you. 👏 also i was happy how you used the word stationary instead of static and moving for kinetic
    108
  21. I dont give a rats backside about old school or new. What i want is a vehicle that can get me there and take me back home. My 4 runner never disappointed me. I am now closing in on 300K with nothing but routine maintenance That includes about 100K of towing
    108
  22. You won’t lose a single viewer over this. Happy New Year to your family.
    108
  23. AMD, Proximity to lunchtime may have affected my judgment but I thought that was a chicken 🐔roaster at first glance. I was bracing myself to be even more jealous of the lucky folks in your live studio audience. 😉😄
    108
  24. Swapping out the transmission makes sense, but watching a rebuild would be fun.
    108
  25. I’m currently an automotive technician level II and my dream goal is to have my own shop one of these days. I’m sure it can be mentally draining but I’m always looking for something worth challenging and humble myself of the amount of work and effort I put in day in and day out. You my friend have given me more motivation to become awesome like you.

  26. That was the first thought in my head when I saw this, a rental car. In my 40+ years as a dealer mechanic, I can honestly say that rental cars are a very close second to young, inexperienced drivers when it comes to vehicle abuse and neglect. I tell everyone that's looking for a late model vehicle to never buy a former rental car, I've seen way too many of these rental vehicles that have a stellar reputation for reliability that are on their last leg at a low mileage due to abuse/neglect.

  27. Hello AMD, I do not own a GX, but please do not cut parts out of the video even if other suggest. I appriciate the multi video approach to documenting a job. For us diyers, there is nothing like learning and hearing every step from a MDT like yourself. No one online goes into the depth of knowledge on video like you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all, you truly can't put a price on knowledge and experience.
    107
  28. I think that a video showing a deep cleaning of the car would be so satisfying
    107
  29. You have reminded me how powerful knowledge is. I love the no BS info and how you present it. I am also a mechanic for more years than I wish to admit and appreciate your efforts. I stumbled across your clips while deciding to take that leap and buy a RAV4 hybrid. Now I find myself ignoring my family while I watch a middle aged man show me a clogged EGR and manifold. You didn’t even need click bait! I hope others appreciate the valuable information you provide. I don’t get on the tools that much these days which worried me regarding what I will no longer get to learn. I guess I have gone the long way around to say thank you. Now this old fart has to click that subscribe button I guess.

  30. Very nice. My dad still has his 1986 FJ60 Land Cruiser. I actually learned how to drive manual transmission in this. That was when i was 14 years old. Im 45 now. We still have it in our family
    107
  31. CCN knows that we’ve been waiting for this.

  32. Replaced my '05 Tundra with a '24 TRD Pro in July. Tow a 5000 lb. toyhauler with it. The danger of towing with the new Tundra is that it is too easy to forget I'm towing a trailer. Effortless pulling over 4,000 ft. mountain passes here in Washington State. Even better than the power ascending the hill is how the truck uses the engine and transmission to control the speed on the descent. That's what's most impressed me with towing with the new Tundra.
    107
  33. It's a pleasure to listen your videos. No hyper antics or clickbait titles. Just real knowledge from a person speaks humbling but not cowardly. Stay safe and well

  34. I love the honesty in your discussions.. really wish more mechanics were this way! You set the bar high. Another great vid, AMD :- )
    106
  35. AMD, I am glad you let yourself get a little excited about this one. If someone had said 3 or 4 years ago that the next Sienna will get 35 mpg while still offering AWD and a tow rating of 3,500 lbs, nobody would have believed them. To me, this is easily the Family car of the year.
    106
  36. Excellent presentation! I especially enjoyed learning how the bypass function works and you are very right- a spring is not just a spring. It has a specific inner and outer diameter, solid length, spring stiffness, etc etc. They are meant for specific applications. I'm a mechanical engineer and had to source a spring for a pick and place machine with a vacuum tip that was spring loaded so it would return to its zero position after dropping the object. It took a lot of effort to find the exact spring that would fit around the air tube and be fitted to the mass of the tube+tip without bottoming out (solid length) so what I picked was relatively obscure given my configuration.

  37. Toyota Hybrid systems are the pinnacle of system engineering.
    106
  38. Amazing how they've nailed looks, performance, awd in this generation. Great review! While the other brands are going all-in on EVs Toyota is going to make a killing in the hybrid space in the next 10-15 years. Thank you for sharing your expertise. If Toyota don't already, they should be consulting with you.
    106
  39. This is the best toyota content for those wanting to know about issues and more importantly what really matters for service and reliability. Hands down.
    106
  40. I think everybody has a “the Toyota I regret selling” story. For me, it was the 1989 Cressida with the inline 6 Toyota put in the Supra. Straight 6, RWD loaded out with sunroof, automatic, leather. God, I wish I still had it.
    106
  41. AMD, Beyond the QDR and luxury, what appeals to me most about this generation of LS is the classic sedan styling. This car is not a 4 door pretending to be a coupe with the modern sloping roof line that DESTROYS rear seat head room, it is a sedan that is proud to be a sedan . In your review of the current LS a few months ago you noted how little rear head room it has and you are 5'8". Bring back real sedans like the LS 430😁😁😁
    106
  42. I love how impartial this channel is. Giving Toyota its praises but still laments it’s faults.
    106
  43. I'm extremely happy to see the amount of care AMD put towards this job. I really wish I have someone near me to take care of my cars like you do.
    106
  44. My favorite YouTuber, for sure. I just love this man. His integrity, skill, manner of communication and edification, his patience, honesty...on and on. I love him. Thank you, Sir.
    106
  45. The Lexus V8 and V6 are gems. Get ‘‘em while you can.
    105
  46. I love seeing the "Telsa Graveyard" growing each time 😂

  47. When Toyota first came out with this engine a few years ago in it's Camry line, I could see it's potential. Probably the biggest reason why my next car will definitely be a Toyota product. You've sealed the deal...many thanks.
    105
  48. Thank you for giving us the owner's thought process for repairing this car! I would have made the same decision.

  49. Another tip for removing shock or struts "easier", clean the threads with a wire brush as best possible and spray some penetrating fluid and let it sit for a sec. At work, we used to replace rear shocks all the time and 90% of the time, we would break the shock off at the nut due to corrosion and they would crack off. We would need to buy nuts also and sometimes they were a pain to get. Now i spend 1 min cleaning the threads and a quick shot of lube and i never snap the shocks anymore. For DIYers, it definitely worth the time.

  50. Wish I could thank this man for the education he has provided me. As the owner of a 21 Rav Hybrid, I feel confident in it's care. Oil every 5k / 6 mo and check the battery filter every 6 mo even though no animals or kids. Nothing in the back seat on the passenger side, no liquids on the back seat, no excessive speed, gas off on the click, no extra weight, etc. I genuinely appreciate his content.
