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

  1. Yes, that 4Runner is amazing but the way you keep your garage so immaculate is just as amazing! Shows you take pride in all aspect of your work.

  2. No silly music, no BS. Simple and perfect Toyota/Lexus content. The best car manufacturer presented by the best Master Toyota Tech.

  3. This is the luckiest 600,000 mile car out there. The amount of work and love given to it makes our cars envious. My favorite car so far.

  4. I am so impressed by your skills and ethics. It is so rare to have someone like you who actually looks out for the customer. I have been lucky to have had a good friend who was a mechanic and cared about his customers...mechanics like you guys are rare...you are slowly disappearing. Thank you for sharing your insights into the mechanical world, but also the philosophy of a true mechanic Guru! May the Lord bless you and keep you; May the Lord make his face Shine upon you and be gracious to you; May the Lord turn His face towards you and give you Peace. God bless you my friend...you are truly impressive.

  5. I’m a car enthusiast but now also a dad and the Lexus ES F Sport is the car that made me switch from my Infiniti QX70 which I loved. What made me change was Luxury with awesome F Sport looks, good tech including driver assistance and room for 2 car seats and most importantly it runs on regular fuel and is so inexpensive to own. I love Lexus approach of blending of luxury and tech while sticking to Toyota roots simplicity, durability and reliability. As always another great video my friend

  6. Speaking of the accident: get a dashcam! That way if the other party tries to twist the truth there is no way around the truth.

  7. Please, please make sure this car is properly insured for an “agreed upon” value. It would be so tragic if someone plows into it at a red light and totals it. It’s an amazing piece of work! Looking forward to the “One Million Mile LS430” follow-up.

  8. Toyota tech here for over a decade in the northeast. Never seen one of these engines worked on either, very interesting to finally see into the engine. One thing, in my dealership, most likely we would have removed the cab of the truck to remove the engine. I've done countless V6 timing cover reseals, and we've found by far the easiest way is to remove the cab. It allows easy access to all the mount bolts and other components where heat may be required to loosen. It wouldn't have helped with your stubborn bolts in the transmission, but it would have aided in some of the disassembly and removing of the engine, more so on the V6 models. True, you would have to open the brake system, but you can leave the driveline attached to the frame assembly, and leaving the majority of the engine harness in, easier access to the compressor and starter. All in all, about an hour and a half to two hours to remove the cab. Pro and cons to each method, but having seen a few of your other videos and how to remove some engines from cars, it's very similar to how you do them. Regardless, great video's and awesome insights. It's really nice seeing someone out there dedicated to doing their job proper and asking the questions 'why' something failed, rather then just throwing parts at something. I've checked out a few of your videos and have been extremely impressed with your professionalism and explanations. As a Toyota technician , I've started directing some of the newer tech's we get to your channel. You have great insights and explain the what, why, and how extremely well. I wish you the best of luck in the future and hope your business prospers and thank you for trying showing how excellence and professionalism in this industry is suppose to look.

  9. It is nice to see a vehicle aimed at people needing safe reliable transportation. Not everyone needs all of the extras just to drive from home to work and return.
    311
  10. You are so much more than a " Mechanic ". Before all you are honest and good man. All the best!
    309
  11. I have never regretted subscribing to this channel. The amount of education I get here is like going to Auto university.
    307
  12. I'm someone who's loved driving for 55 years now. One of the best things I've done to save money and not get ripped off in life is to educate myself about the operation and basic maintenance of my vehicles. That's why I'm an ardent DIY'er and subscriber to this channel. We are but Grasshoppers to AMD the Master.

  13. Speaking as a retired line mechanic (27yrs, Porsche, Audi, Volvo, VW), I would like to make two comments: I truly appreciate your professionalism and thoroughness. You know your product line and what to look for. Also, if this would have been a German made vehicle, the entire bottom of the car would have been covered with oil and antifreeze (after 100k mls)! I know from personal experience just how badly these leak. This vid is a testimony as to how good the Toyota brand is. Love your vids, keep up the good work!
    307
  14. It's obvious that you know what you're talking about and you don't have an agenda. Awesome video.
    306
  15. I'm Japanese born and raised. I can say that the way you said "Kaizen" the first time was perfect.
    306
  16. The Prius is recognized as one of the most reliable vehicles ever made. It’s one of the consistently most likely vehicles to hit 200k, on the original powertrain and EV battery.
    306
  17. i like your approach at setting priorities for your customers. now retired i was a german car tech for 50 years. too many guys would oversell those bushings and damp chain cover. they gave an honest mechanic a bad name . i was often called to the front office for not "producing" enough to suit them. luckily for me i was usually the only guy that could overhaul auto transmission so my job was secure. keep up the good work.
    306
  18. Thanks! I would like to request if could do a video on maintaining the seals and overall “health” of sunroofs and panoramic sunroofs in new Toyota models? For example, how does one clean the drains? I think it might help quite a few folks
    305
  19. THE only person I would listen to for Toyota advice.
    304
  20. This guy has the best consumer information on the net, by far.
    303
  21. And with that, we see why this channel deserves a million subscribers. You had the full attention of a guy who is only moderately interested in car repair for the entire length of the video. YouTube, give this gentleman more money please. :)
    303
  22. The character of this man is so impressive. His expertise mixed with humility and work ethic is impossible to find in the mechanic world. A true gem of a human being.

  23. '05 LS430 owner here (after upgrading from many years of a '92 LS400). After nearly 3 years of ownership, I can certainly attest to the reliability of these tanks. Even being 16 years old, it has only ever required regular maintenance items to keep going and going. Almost all of these items are extremely simple to do if you have some basic tools around and a spot to work. Additionally, the Lexus forums are a wealth of information regarding questions, troubleshooting, and general support. I can't speak highly enough about my ownership experience and have tried to convince several people to get them as well. What really separates the LS430 for me though (on top of the reliability and simplicity of mechanical design), is the craftsmanship and quality of materials. The doors feel like a bank vault, all of the wood is real, and it's still one of the quietest and most effortless interiors I've ever been in. It's spoiled me in a sense, as I find myself critiquing cars that are newer and significantly more expensive that seem subpar when compared to my old Lexus. If you're in the market for the best bargain luxury sedan around, look no further than the LS430.

  24. Why this isn't trending? These videos can and will save thousands of people getting scammed.
    302
  25. Great videos like always. This guy is probably the most knowledgeable Toyota tech in the USA.

  26. Been filtration specialist for 8 years (former Toyota car tech / now Toyota forklift tech). I like your approach on how parts inside the filter works. The problem with some aftermarket filter brands is that they tend to use the same bypass valve and filter element for more than one car brand. If the bypass valve opens at a lower pressure on the wrong engine, the oil flow will bypass the filter element longer than intended and even at higher rpm. Stick to OE filters if possible or keep to the well known high quality brands. Here in Europe that would be Mann&Hummel, Mahle, Wix (Napa in USA)etc. Stay away from FRAM group filters especially. And remember that anything made in Japan is quality no matter what it is.

  27. Because of you and Scotty Kilmer, I have been changing my oil every 5K on my 2020 Highlander V6, even though my first 2 years of free service only paid for every 10K miles.

  28. I bought a 2021 Land Cruiser heritage just before the prices got out of control this year. It sits next to a 2020 tundra in my garage. I’ve compared the two and could never figure out why the parts look different under the hood. This video answers some of those questions. It’s also accurate. I thought my tundra was reasonably well built, but the Land Cruiser is on a different planet

  29. You left out the fact that there are thousands and thousands of Prius taxis out there! Taxi companies would not be using them if the HV battery goes bad all the time.
    297
  30. The Man who never made a mistake never learned anything, and the man who claimed he never made a mistake is a liar, best wishes from Ireland

  31. Lovely! I'm a Texan, love pickup trucks. Your only regret will be - why didn't I get one earlier? I wish you and your family nothing but miles and smiles.

  32. The narrated time laps are the best.
    293
  33. I never believed in the 10,000 mile oil change. I'm old enough to remember when folks did oil changes every 3,000 miles. I was never able to make the leap to 10,000 mile changes. Thank you, for showing everyone the problems with that. This is an excellent channel! ...one of my favorites! 👍
    292
  34. I absolutely cannot wait to see how this goes. The third-generation LS is my favourite Lexus of all time.
    291
  35. Funny how that things "common issues" sound more like normal wear & tear. Seal here or there, alternator, radiator. etc. Those are things that just go bad over time in pretty much any machine lol. My coworker owns two of those 4runners and one is almost to 500k!
    291
  36. The quality of filming and sound on these videos is first class. Full credit to the Director of Photography for doing a great job.

  37. Scott Kilmer has split personalities. One day he loves Toyota, Honda & Mazda and next week he hates a Camry and a month later he loves the Camry. He is entertaining though, so I just take some things he says with a grain of salt.
    291
  38. I'm a Service Advisor at a Toyota Dealership and I try to make a point of making sure that customers are aware of this issue with this engine. Awesome content as usual!
    290
  39. I think the Toyota Prius is definitely in the Top 5 most reliable cars made today. Superb engineering, design and build quality. Toyota really did their homework when designing the Prius. Amazing car!

  40. I bought a ‘21 Venza and I love it. I chose the XLE model mainly because it has dials for the radio and a/c. The start button may be in an awkward place but after a couple of days you forget about it. I totally agree that it has an unfortunate name, in Japan it’s called the Harrier which would have been much cooler. Speaking of Japan, the Venza is actually made there which, at least to me, is a definite plus. I’ve been watching The Car Care Nut for years and I bought this car because of you AMD, so thanks for all the great advice and congratulations on your new and beautiful shop. Too bad you’re in Chicago and not Los Angeles!

  41. Auto mechanics don't usually go into business to make a ton of money. They usually go into business because it's a passion and they love what they do. God bless you and your family.
    289
  42. Some of the things I continually admire about your videos are the clarity in directionsm the cautions and suggestions that you make as you instruct. Your delivery is informative and caring to the degree that it makes what you say quite personal, at least to me. To have that quality in an instructor is pretty rare. Thank you.

  43. This is the best review I’ve seen. I’m tired of the guys that sit in the front seat and say, “This one has leather, this one has plastic. Here’s the rear view mirror. Here’s the leather seats.” 🙄 I can see the interior for myself. I want to know about the engines and what kind of coolant I’m gonna see on my garage floor. I want to know which gen is best. I need to know about transmissions and gear hunting, not the cup holders. I know I’m a girl, but c’mon. THIS is the best kind of review. Thank you! 💕

  44. Great to see your channel blow up. From doing YouTube in your garage, to owning your own shop, and now get to interview Toyota engineers. You deserve it. 👏

  45. My wife's first car was a brand new 2011 Corolla. Insane total number of issues we've had is ZERO. Fluid changes, brakes and tires, and the thing kept going and going and going. Sold it last year at 120k miles. Would have loved to keep it but just didn't need it anymore. Miss that little plastic beast.
    288
  46. My wife bought a rav4 11 years ago. It has never missed a beat and she gets treated like royalty at the local Toyota garage. I drive an expensive mercedes and get terrible service which also is extremely expensive. My next car will be a Lexus.
    287
  47. You're absolutely right about the 2000/2001 Camrys. I bought my 2001 XLE V6 for dirt cheap over 7 years ago with over 150k already on it and I've still never had a major problem with it. Even now at about 250k it still drives just as well as it did the day I bought it. I'm convinced this car will outlive me lol.
    287
  48. 22 min video posted 5 min ago; and so many people write appreciation comments. Shows how much we trust you!

  49. I’m from Kurdistan region of Iraq, I’m a Lexus owner. I love to visit this guy one day, he’s kind and loyal to his job. Keep up Mr. Car care nut. You show true commitment to your profession.
    286
  50. You and your wife deserve everything that comes your way. You have earned it honestly and with integrity.
