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

  1. I can’t believe this is free info from someone who’s a master of his craft. Very few people have this skill and knowledge and even rarer that they’re willing to be candid about it. Incredible!

  2. I really appreciate these long format, deep dive reviews.....especially from someone who really knows the brand. Lots of good information that most car vloggers will gloss over or never mention. Would like to see him review the standard (non-prime) 2023 Prius to see how the two compare.

  3. I have to fight the dealers every time I take it in for a 5,000 mile oil change. They often won't even use 0W16 as specified. Hearing they use crap oil when I am spending $85 pisses me off. From now on I will do my own oil changes.

  4. When you say “interesting”. I know it means messed up 😂

  5. At this point I'm just happy the Camry still has a N/A V6 available

  6. I asked the service tech how much it would cost to change the CVT fluid in my 2017 IM, and he said I don't need to, since it's a "lifetime fluid." I told him, I don't believe that. A lifetime claim should come with a lifetime warranty to back it up.

  7. Everytime he says "Thats okay." It just radiates the "Thats the farthest thing from okay." Energy a disappointed father would have

  8. Ok, now I know now. I’ve been over filling my new 2020 Tacoma trying to get extra mile. I know now. Thank you for letting everybody know.

  9. I believe I'm speaking for most subscribers here. We need more videos like this one. This is the knowledge we're looking for from your channel and you're great at explaining this stuff

  10. Fortunately, some of us, like me, are located in, or reasonably close to the Chicago metro area and are therefore able to have their Toyota/Lexus vehicles serviced directly by TCCN Automotive… Otherwise known as “The Car Care Nut” and the issue of counterfeit parts is nonexistent.

  11. I regret not getting a hybrid. I should not have listened to our good old-school awesome crazy grandpa Scotty Kilmer.
    346
  12. Why do we like to watch your channel? It is because of your honest and unbiased reviews. Keep it up!
    344
  13. The advice you dish out is going to save people THOUSANDS of dollars, thank you for taking the time to create these amazing videos!!

  14. This guy is a Toyotas doctor. He’s a blessing
    344
  15. You are an outstanding mechanic, and we need far more people like you in the repair industry.
    342
  16. Is because of this type of content that I subscribe to mechanics rather than entertaining YouTube car channels. 5star content 💪👍👍
    341
  17. You're not only a great mechanic but also a great husband and father. Thanks for this update.

  18. The condition of your shop and the cleanliness is a MAJOR selling point to me. Interesting video, thanx for taking the time and effort to produce it and continued success in your endeavours!!

  19. I think now is a great time to buy these later 5th gens because it’s basically the peak of QC and updates, vs immediately buying the first of the 6th Gen which may come with problems off the bat like some people are having with the newer Tundras with recalls and stuff.

  20. Greetings CCN family. I am the owner of this car. I had the privilege to meet AMD in person for the 2nd time during this video shoot. He is a great and awesome human being. What you see on camera is what you get in person. I was astounded by his ability to begin filming without any scripts or rehearsals. He truly speaks with his heart and soul. GOD bless him and his family always. I hope many of you one day will have the privilege of meeting AMD. Well, I purchased this car with 187K as an emergency use because my transmission went out on my dodge grand caravan in 2016. The car drove extremely well for what I paid for it and EVERYTHING worked in it so I told my self, just keep running it until the wheels come off and the years just went on. Here we are 50K later at 237K and rising daily. I have owned many used GM and Chrysler vehicles over my lifetime and sadly most of them ended up becoming money pits even though I performed the majority of the repairs at that time. It does help a great deal that I am technically and mechanically inclined. IMO a vehicle is not an investment (Except for sought after collectables) but given what I spent in parts/repairs over the years, this one seems like an investment to me. I definitely got my money's worth multiple times. Treat and take care of your vehicle like an investment and it will take care of you.

  21. With your honest reputation Ahmed people will be lining up for your shop! 🏢 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙

  22. Obviously one of the most professional mechanics you will ever witness. Amazing insights and professionalism. It was fun to watch the whole disassembly and build.
    337
  23. finally someone giving us some real information other than the "selling points" from Toyota. awesome job man.
    337
  24. You and the Car Wizard are my two favorite mechanics on youtube. You all do such a great job explaining and walking the viewer through what you do that I find myself always watching the entire video.
    337
  25. Failure teaches you more than success.
    336
  26. What a great technician this man is. Total professional.
    336
  27. I learn so much from this guy!! I've now watched a number of his videos and always pick so something up. He's a natural instructor and explains things very well for the layman without a hit of condescension.
    336
  28. This channel should be recommended by Toyota for all owners, seriously!
    335
  29. The shop has become a dealership without the “Dealership” problems and culture 👍👍 Congrats to you, your wife, and the entire TCCN team!
    335
  30. A 1,000 mile 2010 Camry. It's fascinating, maddening and brilliant at the same time.
    334
  31. Just changed my spark plugs, although I knew 100% I re-attached that hose, I still went out and double checked. One thing I think is very important as a DIY'er, is to make yourself a checklist of every step you must complete, and triple check it as you go. It doesn't matter how familiar you may feel about a task, working out in the cold or heat will make you forget stuff. By running a checklist, you reduce the chance of this happening. He perfectly explained why I will never step foot in a Toyota service center again, unless its to pick up my purchased parts.

  32. The unwillingness of the dealerships and the independent shops to adequately compensate good technicians has been having a tendency to drive good technicians from the industry into other professions. I am a terrific example of that, having had four Master certificates and a total of 33 ASE individual certifications, and was designated as a “world-class technician.” I am now a commercial HVAC technician after having left the auto industry and flown jets. Training and retaining quality technicians costs money that people do not want to spend. As a result, the level of monkey business in the industry has increased exponentially. Oh and by the way……I did work for two Toyota dealerships along the way.
    331
  33. You're one of those rare human beings. A kind soul, family man, fabulous employer and awesome mechanic. The world certainly needs more people like you Sir. No gimics bias or shameful plugs just open honest content. Much love from Australia
    329
  34. I have a 2018 Tundra and I love it. I plan to be buried in it one day.
    328
  35. I do emission testing in Texas and this is the number two reasons why cars fail the test. People don't know it's bad to top off or think it's a myth. Great Vid!
    326
  36. I don't even own a toyota but this guy makes all kind of sense and it can be applied to whatever you own.
    326
  37. Honestly, Mrs. Car Care Nut is an excellent camera operator. Great video too. I’ve never seen the whole process like this to check out an engine. You are a treasure for us Toyota owners.

  38. Hi AMD I totally respect all your mechanical abilities I love your videos. I have been a precision machinist and a mechanic for over 40 years you can precision lap that block and head very easily just get yourself a lapping plate. It is extremely easy you can lap off the high spots off both the block and the head and you will be amazed how easy it is and you will have no problem with the gasket sealing properly. Just get yourself a impregnated lapping plate so you do not have to worry about adding lapping compound. And with just a few swipes of the lapping plate you can knock off the high spots of both the block and the head you will be extremely happy. No machine shops needed. And you will not take off enough material to worry about the timing of the Engine. Trust me you are an excellent mechanic you can do this. You will save your customers a ton of money and also be doing fantastic work at the same time. One other thing the bigger the lapping plate the better but not so big that you can’t get it in the area where you need to lap the block.

  39. AMD earned the credibility that Toyota should contact him and invite him to Japan and have a tour of their engineer team and have deep conversation and session. I am 100% sure they will get a value from that and get even better in future engines.
    325
  40. Best channel for Toyota related stuff. No aftermarket or modding bullshit. Just pure down to earth Toyota technical info.
    325
  41. They should definitely make more V6 hybrid vehicles, it's a perfect blend of performance, efficiency, and reliability!
    325
  42. I think this owner deserves a small interview from you to actually inform everyone how he drives and looks after his car so well. It is the recognition he truly deserves.
    324
  43. best warranty . Put $500 a year on the side and don’t touch it. By the time something break use that money. Now you are the warranty company
    323
  44. Seems to me that $1,600 is an absolute bargain to do this job with the amount of work necessary. I wonder what the dealer would get for it the same work probably 3,000. I am so impressed with the level of care you guys take on all your projects and the serious knowledge you bring to the task. I wish I had a Lexus to bring to you I know I would be in good hands. They are fantastic cars there's no doubt about that put the German makes to shame
    322
  45. Great advice! When I'm looking ahead and see that I'm coming to a red light, I let off the pedal and coast. People race by me and then I watch them hit the brakes hard. I try to not come to a complete stop if possible. My '22 Corolla Hybrid gets 55.8mpg

  46. Nicely done review, however as a GSF owner i have a few thing to add in. 1. MY 2016 does not have VAS (vehicle adaptive suspension) and they tend to last longer. MY 2017 and later has VAS 2. The GSF does not have rear wheel steering. I believe the regular 350 does (i know the RC350 does) 3. All the Carbon Fiber you saw there are cover lay by a sheet of CF and then sealed in epoxy. 4. Many of these Lexus RCF/GSF now suffer interior CF epoxy delaminating. 5. For me the insurance coverage is actually cheaper than my 2007 Acura TL 😂…. Yes i was like “how” as well. These car are fun to drive and they knowing to be bullet proof if properly taken care. Fun fact the GSF production run from 2016-2020. According to Lexus only 2484 units ever sold in the USA , if you own one congrats. 2016 - 1416 units sold 2017 - 482 2018 - 294 2019 - 127 Also note in MY2020 all the grey mirror and exterior door pillar are now black. Orange brake caliper option got replaced by blue caliper. On specs sheet these car very hard to sell when new because price tag. However used market they become the best bang for your buck to buy.

  47. Thanks dude!!

  48. I am the owner of this car - let me begin with AMD is a genius, he was able to diagnose a problem in few minutes that my local dealership has made me go in circles for 3 years. Thanks!! It is a 2008 (not 2010), just have wheels from the future model. I am hoping to keep for a few more years with the help of AMD! Another dealership story - after they replaced spark plugs, the car would randomly lose power for split of a second (very scary) while driving. After taking it back, they told me the battery terminals were not tightened down!!! Lucky that I have found TCCN that I wont have to go back to the dealership.

  49. This channel has got to be the best Toyota/Lexus repair channel on YouTube. Excellent content.

  50. This just hit me like a freight train... When my dad bought his ES330, I was dreaming about buying him an LS430 as his last car...10yrs later, I could have done it, but my dad passed unexpectedly 4yrs earlier... This video is very personal. I'm glad someone else could do what I couldn't.
