  2. I am constantly blown away by AMD’s communication skills. Hi ability to organize all of this information, for even the novice (me), AND not “talk down” to us is so refreshing.
    285
  3. I’ve been watching this channel for over a year. I’m so happy for you. Your shop looks terrific and the production quality on your videos is top tier.

  5. If the battery is dead, is it OK to jump start and drive to a shop to replace it, or should I avoid using it until replaced?
    281
  6. This guy right here is the man. I drove 12 hours from NJ for him to bless my car with his experience and quality of work. Finally I got rid of the 2AR rattle at start up along with a new chain. Would definitely do it again. Thanks again AMD for the quality work done in a timely reasonably priced manner.

  7. This is the kind of mechanic I want working on my car, so much passion for the craft and pride in his work.

  8. So the person bought this 1997 vehicle used in 2003, and here we are in 2022. After 19 years of having a 25 year old car, I think he got his value out of it, whether salvaged and rebuilt, or not. I'd be happy with that. Of course, not everyone may be so lucky.

  9. "Take one for the team" 😂lol, being dramatic when not being dramatic! 😂😂😂 Best mechanic 🧰 show ever!
    276
  10. Why buy a used one when you can get a new for a couple 1000 more (or less).
    272
  11. Retired dealer tech here, I hope people appreciate how hard you are working to explain this. I sent a link to my sons, this is very well done.
    271
  12. just bought my wife an rx350, driving down the interstate at 80mph it feels like you're sitting in your recliner at the house. when we drove it home from the dealership i could tell it was an extremely well built vehicle.

  13. Capacitors are a problem with age, especially some types like electrolytics. There are more reliable types. Glad you found and fixed this.
    269
  14. I'm an industrial mechanic--not a car mechanic. I can tell you are a master at your craft. Thank you for the video! Truly should be shown to all mechanics. You level of dedication and love for your craft is awesome!
    268
  15. As an owner of a 2022 SE Manual, I feel very lucky. The sedan is better for rear passenger space and the ride would be a little better because it has a longer wheelbase. Thanks for the video! I feel confident I made a good choice.
    268
  16. You are the ONLY mechanic/technician I respect and trust. excellent, precise and clear explanation about the transmission maintenance 👍💪
    268
  17. It's completely ok. Don't worry. Happy new year!!!
    267
  18. Lexus should have offered a 5.0L V8 as optional.

  19. I worked in a Toyota dealership from 1991 to 2015. I remember the 3VZ headgasket fiasco of internal coolant leaks, and had multiple 1996 5VZ engine leak coolant externally within a few thousand miles. By 1997 they had the issue fixed thankfully. The most bullet proof engine (imo) for the 4Runner was actually the 3RZ 4 cylinder during that time period. The absolute most reliable engine ever put in a 4Runner was the 1GR 4.0 liter, it made the overrated 22R look like childs play. I made zero money from engine repairs on that beast. They have a mileage life expectancy of infinity apparently.

  20. This is so much better than those 'cupholder counting reviews'
    259
  21. AMD, You said - Today WE are going to build a complete, brand new Toyota long block. I assume my role in this engine build primarily involves cheering from the cheap seats. 😉😁
    258
  22. I’m a current technician for Toyota of orland park and I can say this channel has helped me learn a lot about Toyotas and Lexus vehicles. Appreciate your videos keep it up
    257
  23. My cousin has a 2023 CRV Hybrid and it was insane how fuel efficient it was. Of course, it got the best MPG for in town driving and all that, but held its own for long distances too. You can't go wrong with the new Honda hybrids for sure. Has this nice shuttle like sound too and it's super quiet for the most part.
    257
  24. Once you fix the leaks, get a professional detailer to go through the inside and out, clean all the nastiness and shine up the paint! It will be worth it!
    256
  25. I loved your storytelling during this one. Expensive repair, but the truck is at least in pretty good shape rust wise. If the frame was rotted then this would be a bad decision.
    256
  26. It's still made in Japan. That's why it's reliable.
    254
  27. I don’t have a Toyota . The reason I watch is that it is all honesty, educational and full of common sense. It is a rare quality from a mechanic. All the blessings to you brother!
    253
  28. Many 4Runners fans here 👍. Beside reliability and everything else, one of my favorite parts is, back window opens.
    252
  29. I am a proud owner of a 1994 LS400. I have never driven any new model LS but it was disheartening to hear that Lexus no longer has interest in going back to their roots with at least one model.. Times change and the business must adapt. I guess the original LS really is something special.
    252
  30. I went to this Chevy dealer for a pre owned car. They were charging 900 extra to give you 2nd key, tint and wheel locks. I walked out. The car was already tinted, wheel locks were already on and they held 2nd key in the back. Shame on these up sale tactics.
    251
  31. If I’m not mistaken, I remember reading about putting my 2020 4Runner in 4wd once a month in the owners manual to lubricate. Great advice and insight from a master tech!
    250
  32. I remember teaching a friend how to drive my manual Honda Civic. He was pretty rough with the gear shift. I told him to imagine that the gear knob was an egg, and not to break the egg. He instantly shifted much more smoothly. My two cents worth.
    249
  33. The Lexus is an incredible vehicle. Even if we get a Lexus with well over 100K on the odometer as trade in, they are still solid, quiet, ride and drive better than some new cars that just rolled off the assembly line. It's evident that a lot of effort went into the Lexus nameplate. The only thing I don't care for about Lexus of today is the front grille. Although unique, it's just too bizarre for my taste. Lexus ( and every other manufacture) needs to stop listening to automotive journalists and listen to what really matters which is the people who own these fine vehicles and what's important to them.

  34. As a Camry Hybrid driver since 2007, I just want to weigh in on the pulse and glide advice if I may. While being a more efficient driving technique, it does tend to irritate the driver behind you, particularly on the highway. This makes it more likely for the driver behind to want to pass you and this sometimes affects the stability and safety of vehicle grouping at speed. Fellow drivers, I think you know what I mean. Having said that, thank you AMD for great content, and congratulations on achieving your dream of self-employment.

  35. Toyota should've never made that a rubber hose.

  36. My lucky day. First time I’ve seen your channel. 7 minutes in I’ve subscribed. I have two $100 and one $180 dollar scanners. A month ago Scotty was raving about a $5400 scanner and I was seriously considering purchase. Thankfully I didn’t. Your communication, demeanor, production quality, vocational experience and status drew me in and the scanner review hooked me. I’m sold. I’m gonna buy. Thanks so mush. ( I’m a do it yourself- er.
    249
  37. I absolutely love my CHR. Love the design, love the space, the drive, the boot. Every time I walk to my car, I feel proud of it compared to all other Toyota cars ive had so far. If nothing is built better than this, ill keep this car till I cant use it anymore lol
    249
  38. I have never seen any of your work before, but in this one video, you’ve shown that you are truly a master mechanic. As a stalwart do-it-yourself fiend myself, I can’t express how much respect I have for your work and your expertise.

  39. So many people, including Toyota enthusiasts forget that the Cressida is where the luxury car all started at Toyota. When i was growing up in the 1980's and 90's these cars were the bees knees. They were Toyota's top of the line sedan and they didn't make nor sell many of them. BUT...if you were fortunate enough to own one they were pure beauty. It's a shame that this car suffered from inmature wiring issues which caused an unnecessary engine fire. The fact that it's still running and driving is amazing honestly. The owner did the right thing to bring it to the Car Care Nut to try to save what he can. I love the car.

  40. I just purchased a 2021 Corolla hybrid and absolutely love it. I feel so grateful to have found this Chanel. Outstanding information every hybrid owner should know. I feel like I want to send you money for such excellent advice. What a great resource you are. NEVER STOP doing what your doing 😀

  41. I have a 96 4runner. Still my daily driver for 25 years. Took my wife on our first date, brought our kids home from the hospital, and now my first born even drives it. I don't think you can kill them if you take care of them. I personally have done all the service.
    247
  42. AMD, When they make you President of Toyota Motor Corporation, I am sure you will bring back the GS. 🤩😉😉
    246
  43. You're getting better and better at this with every video, I'm also glad you mention prices.
    245
  44. I have a story for you regarding Toyota. An old boss had a friend that loved his Toyota. It was serviced regularly. This car refused to break down. Other then the odd water pump, starter and alternator and regular oil changes nothing else was replaced. It was super high mileage. Toyota promised this man a new Toyota for free if he could make it last for 1 million km. The mileage on this Toyota was at 995000km and someone hit this car really bad. The damage at that time was $6500. The insurance company was going to turn this car into a total loss but the owner refused. So the owner paid out of his pocket to have this car repaired. 6 months later he was driving a brand new Toyota free of charge. Now that has to say about the Toyota brand and reliability.

  45. Your memory is incredible. To be able to remember all the bolts, electrical lines and plugs and clips is astounding to me. Your understanding of how every little system works in detail is amazing. You really are one of a kind. Fun to watch you. Thank you. I hope your customers appreciate what they get when they go to you for help.

  46. We bought an 06 Highlander AWD limited with 16k it now has 334k. Original engine and tranny. It's a daily driver. I do all the work on it. Replaced a few wheel bearings, a diff seal. Replace the fluids on time and keep the brakes working properly. Check tire pressure weekly. We live in salt road heaven. The closest car wash is 30 miles away. So, I hooked up the hot water to the outside water hose, works great. Also, replaced alt.
    243
  47. A true Mechanic that really cares for his customers.

  49. I am a retired auto tech, I started in 1970. This man speaks the truth. I bought what I hope and pray is a 40k mile RX350. I have been changing the oil every 5k with the 0W20 that is called out in the manual. I am always surprised to see how clean the oil is. The dealer I bought it from keeps pestering me to bring it in for service. Not on my life. A shop like TCCN Automotive Inc. I would trust, but at age 72 I still service my own vehicle. Thanks for the great video

  50. AMD, Thanks for this public service message. You always put our interests first and we appreciate it. For their own long-term corporate interests, we can only hope some day somebody at Toyota USA or Toyota Motor Corporation starts bringing law and order to dealerships displaying the TOYOTA banner. 🤨
