  2. The Owner of the Company my family worked at had this exact Land Cruiser, and I took note back then. Fast forward about 30 years….. and Mom has been safe and reliably running down the road in 3 generations of Land Cruiser. Understated, yet refined. 100% dependable and not even on the same playing field as anything else. Honored to be part of the Land Cruiser family. These trucks deserve their own wave or 👍!!!

  3. I have maintained my vehicles since I was 16 and will be 55yrs old this summer and still do maintenance myself. I only drive Japanese cars, however a majority of our cars are Toyota/Lexus - this is THE BEST maintenance advice I have heard bar non. I also follow Scotty Kilmer's channel. This man knows what he's talking about.

  4. Toyota’s 2.2L is simply marvelous. I have a 1998 Camry with almost 300,000 miles on it. All I have ever done to this car is very basic maintenance. Regular oil changes, new air filters, tires, etc. well about a week ago, I went to turn the key and nothing! What the...??? My precious baby never does this, so I ran through a mental checklist of everything that could be wrong. After 10 or so minutes of checking the basic stuff, I did a Google search and discovered the Camry has an anti-theft system built into the switch where I turn my key. Long story short, I discovered the car was not starting for me because the teeth on my 24-year-old OEM key were so worn out that the car thought I was trying to steal it 😂 Thankfully, I had my spare key (with excellent teeth) tucked away under the chassis. I put the spare key with new teeth into the ignition and turned the key and she started up just like always! I will always buy Toyota because of that experience.

  5. Dealers took the transmission dipstick away, so how can you check the transmission fluid without taking it to a shop? The transmission dipstick should never have been eliminated.

  6. Thank you! A car is not an investment - it is an appliance with utility like a refrigerator. An expense.

  7. I’ve been a Toyota technician since 1988 I’m a shop foreman at a large dealer in California. You did a great job with this video I see this all too often in my job. It really does make a bad name for the industry. Your attention to detail is excellent. Keep up the good work.

  8. Just had my 2014 Prius serviced by AMD and his crew. It was a Total pleasure to meet and speak with Melanie and AMD, And, I know my service was done with integrity and care. Thank you to all that take great care of their customers at TCCN Automotive! Chuck

  10. I followed your advice on my brand new Tundra and changed the oil at 1500 miles since I plan to drive it until the nursing home or funeral home. Almost every pleat of the oil filter contained small fleck of shiny material. I figured if I can spend $95 filling my gas tank I can spend $50 on an early oil change. I appreciate your videos and your advice.

  11. Nothing that is man-made is "lifetime". Fluids are cheap, engines, transmissions and differentials are not. Thanks, Ahmed for educating the Toyota community.

  12. As a Toyota owner, I trust you more than my dealership. Great video as usual!
    469
  13. Hands down some of the most informative and no BS maintenance videos on YouTube. Keep up the great work bud!

  14. My wife's 2017 4RUNNER I literally had to argue with the dealer when I demanded 5,000 mile oil changes. I actually changed dealerships because of this.

  15. I'm SO happy that I found your channel. It's people like you who educate and tell ordinary consumers truths that actually help make the world a better place

  16. Just bought a 2020 SE Camry. Still running strong after 89 miles!!

  17. Drive her to 1 million!!!

  18. As a technician Toyota is the gold standard in hybrid technology and no other manufacturer has ever come close to the performance, refinement, reliability, longevity and quality powertrain.

  19. The saddest part of this scenario is when the owner trades the car and some poor single mom who has been told that Toyotas are a safe bet as a used car buys it. Sure, she could have it inspected and hopefully the defects will be discovered but poorer people have a hard time spending money they don't really have on a bunch of prospective used vehicles. Good video AMD and excellent camera work by the missus.

  20. I’m a retired car guy. My father had three shops. I worked machine shops, Aerospace and have many quality trade experiences. I can attest by listening and watching THIS MECHANIC is very rare! I would love to have him work on my vehicles. My compliments to you sir.....and I don’t give many positive comments.

  21. You definitely make a difference in our community by educating us the viewers. Thank you so much.!

  22. As a retired truck engineer I found this video excellent. The point about what oil is actually being put in, is thought provoking. Fantastic public service broadcasting going on here. Thank you.

  23. Man, this man keeps on delivering clear info for those of us who care about their cars. Thank you!

  24. AMD, In Canada the title for this video would be - "Can You Buy a Toyota Hybrid in 2024? " 🤣😂
    451
  25. I have the silver 09 version of that car sitting in my garage right now. While the hybrid battery was still "working", it definitely wasn't what it used to be. I decided to get the original hybrid battery changed a bit after 246K miles. Now I'm getting the advertised mpg of 48 MPG. 💪🏾

  26. As a former gradeschool coach and sub teacher for over a decade, i really appreciate your calm and descriptive teaching style. Lots of uus really learn alot from your videos. thanks for sharing. :)

  27. Engine was hydro locked and still didn’t get damaged! Gotta love the Toyota 4.0 V6!
    444
  28. As a Lexus and Toyota owner this is one of the most informative and well produced car channels on all of YouTube. You truly deserve all of the success that comes to you. Thank you for all that you do for the community. I would be honored for you to work on my Lexus someday.
    443
  29. I still have a 2003 Toyota 4-Runner with the 4.0L V-6 with 586k on it, no internal engine parts have been replaced, Toyota quality!

  30. 100%. I completely represent the Toyota/Lexus buyer that he describes. Daily drove an Audi A7 for 5 years, my other choices before I bought that were Porsche and BMW, and I chose what I thought to be the most reliable between those and by all accounts I did make the correct choice. BUT, the A7 has averaged about $2,000 a year in repairs and maintenance so far. I could afford it, but that doesn't mean I wanted to. My wife's Lexus NX200T (was an F Sport, I thought it was cool, even if AMD doesn't think so) cost nothing more than the routine maintenance. I didn't love driving that NX, but I respected how affordable it was to keep around. If I'm honest though, it handled better than the Audi in a hard downpour rain, but that was the only situation. I don't drive the Audi anymore, daily a 2022 Sienna platinum now. It's as Lexus as I could get with automatic sliding doors for the kids. Will continue to daily Toyota/Lexus in the future. I hate sounding like Scotty Kilmer, but Toyota/Lexus are reliable. I've witnessed it with my own wallet.

  31. Obviously from watching your channel, AMD, you're a great mechanic - but you're an even better person for sharing the info in this video. Very honest and helpful! Wish you worked at my local Toyota dealership! 👍

  32. If the son is reading this: you're a great guy. Classy choice and I'm sure your father will love it. Thanks AMD for sharing this story.
    435
  33. You gotta love it when people do performance mods right. No fluff, no neon, no wierd colors, no rice, just pure functional mods.
    434
  34. Almost embarrassing how much I look forward to each installment of this fantastic project you are doing on this LS. This is one VERY lucky Lexus to now be in your skilled care my friend!

  35. I just got back from his shop in Illinois. Drove 13 1/2 hours from NY to have Ahmed and his team do 30,000 Mile service including the transmission. MY 17 Tacoma ran flawlessly on the way back to NY. Worth every mile I drove to have the team at TCCN Automotive work on my truck. I got to meet Ahmed and he is every bit the gentleman and professional you see in his videos! 100% recommend anyone thinking of taking their vehicle to him. Best shop you’ll ever find. Period!
    428
  36. i have 2012 Camry SE, bought it five and a half years ago with 30K mile. i have now 145k miles on it and the number of problems i have so far is...0.
    427
  37. An Absolute Master Class. And should be mandatory viewing by any serious Toyota apprentice that wants this career. A fine mix of the technical and the practical approaches to these repair/replace issues and the value of the honest customer relationship. Kudos to AMD and the entire team~!
    427
  38. I'm convinced dealerships overlook issues they would need to replace under warranty. Once the warranty expires they will charge you twice as much to replace something that should have been noticed during previous service intervals.
    427
  39. Congrats on the one year anniversary of having your own shop man! Glad to see business has been well.
    426
  40. My son wanted a higher end Lexus with all the bells and whistles. I informed him that all those extras mean headaches down the road, plus they take premium gas. He ended up with an ES350 - simpler but still has a nice interior. So far he’s been happy with it.
    425
  41. Some interesting German tech - some is logical and makes good sense while other tech is just adding complexity for the sake of being exclusive.
    422
  42. As a entry level technician who has a particular interest in Toyotas, each time I watch one of his videos, it feels like I’m going to tech school online covering a curriculum one video at a time. Amazing stuff always.
    421
  43. Family cars and making money with an honest days work. The world needs more people like this. Love this channel.
    420
  44. Don’t understand the thumbs down, this guy is freaking awesome. I wish he was my mechanic! Oh wait, those German car guys he referenced......those must be the haters!! 🧐

  45. I thought I knew most everything about tires: Wrong. The best 30 minute presentation on the subject on the web. All content, no fluff. Thanks Mr. CCN~!

  46. He's amazing! I emailed him in Feb 2021 about he responded with his thoughts on the gen5 RAV4s. And then a month later, comes out with this great video. Thanks so much!
    406
  47. One of the best looking cars ever made
    406
  48. I like this style of video. We get to see your diagnostic abilities in action and we get to see you actually "fix" the vehicle. I like it.
    405
  49. Best Car technician on Youtube bar none. You do such an amazing job of explaining all car related items.

  50. This guy is everyone's dream local mechanic. He's definitely a class act. Cares, knowledgeable, and an honest guy.
