I do not watch much television. I am not a car mechanic, I’m not into Toyotas. But I do enjoy quality. After a long day at work and I finally get some down time. Yes, I look for “The Car Care Nut” I enjoy watching a tour of your shop and listening about repairs I have no clue about. This is much more edifying than most of the television shows.

If only more shops were like yours, they would all be busy and have happy " repeat " customers. Last shop I went to charged me $58 to put a fuel line clip on that they had used a ziptie that did not hold. They did not even blink when they gave me the bill. I will never go back. Thank you for all you and your people do !!!

[@nicolasnicolas999]

I just took a recently purchased car to a shop for a rattling/flapping noise in the engine bay. I couldn’t have been clearer about my main concern was the noise. Secondarily I wanted a general inspection. They supposedly were inspected the car and “couldn’t isolate” the noise. BUT … they concluded that I need new struts and a few bushings quoted at $3,100. They charged me $180 and probably didn’t actually even put it on the rack. This car is a 2017 Mazda 3 with 88k miles. Perhaps it does need struts in the near future but that’s not my primary concern. Especially since there’s no clunks, leaks, or drivability issues relating to suspension. It seems impossible to find a decent shop in Los Angeles. It’s not necessarily the owners that are the problem-many times it’s the technicians cutting corners or not doing the work that the customers are paying for. I’m at my wits end trying to find a reputable shop.

[@oldkid6]

you're going to need a bigger shop, it's amazing to see how your channel has evolved. you're everyone's official toyota and lexus guy!

[@jdesaavedra0432]

I'm a viewer who the years have caught up with. I do enjoy working on cars, however my Toyotas don't afford many opporunities. I enjoy your channel and find great comfort in seeing you succeed. My first Toyota was a 1991 Camry DX, which, to be honest, I hated. I longed for the day that it wore out, and if Toyota fixed the multitude of deficiencies, I could buy a new one. Finally, after 252,000 hard miles, I sold it. I now have a 2003 Camry XLE, a 2006 Highlander Base, and a 2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. I perform 100% of my own service and repairs. Thanks to you, I gain new insights and confidence.

[@onenikkione]

I was glad to hear that you don't require techs to work over-time. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Take it one step at a time, it will get accomplished.

[@alp3781]

I wish you to double that space, cause good man deserve all the repairs he can get. Dropping a car off at a place that you know, you can sleep good at night before and after the repair is priceless.

[@richardstone5241]

Guess what brother? You have out grown your shop already! Time to give serious thought to more space. Blessings!!!

[@dlg5485]

More growth isn't always the right way to go. Sometimes a good business turns bad as a result of too much expansion too quickly, which is Toyota's story of late. It's better to settle into a comfortable volume for a while and really refine the operation before even thinking about expansion.

[@bobkoller90]

Congratulations! There is no rest for the honest and skilled!

[@jasonvandervalk3679]

I agree

[@Psichlo1]

Grats on the success, well deserved. This is a perfect example of a good mechanic that doesn't rip off his customers reaping the rewards through hard work, dedication and honesty. It's sad that there aren't more techs such as yourself. Cheers

[@mariamaldonado9268]

I have been following your account for more than 3 years, and I feel so happy for your garage and that you have a lot of customers. I did not know almost anything about cars and my love for Toyotas arrived because all the detail information you have been sharing in your channel, I have learnt a lot. I live in Canada and yes, rust is common in cars, there is a strong recommendation to check how rusty the cars is before buying it. A nostalgic personal mention: You reminded of of my dad, he has a soft and kind voice. My dad is a mechanic and we barely spent time with him growing up because he was at his garage all the time or on roads fixing cars and dealing with all the papers. I believe the problem with my dad was that he do not set boundaries with his customers with his schedule because he even works on weekends. I'm glad you have an schedule for your employees and respect it. Hoping you have a balance life being a owner business have a lot of responsibilities.

Thank you, AMD, for helping my wife and I be true believers in the importance of OE Toyota Automotive parts. Thank you for these great videos so we can enjoy seeing and hearing about the beautiful vehicles that Toyota produces. Just lovely

[@isawthelight]

OE parts are great and all but I'm doing a brake job. 1k Canadian for the rotors and pads from a local dealership. Online a tad cheaper. I went with Akebono pads which is what Toyota uses and raybestos rotors. Are they the best rotors? I can't say. But 395 all in from rock auto to my door vs 1k. We need to use OEM where it counts and on other places if we can get by we should. This is not a rebuke of your comment but just a comment to add 😊

[@anthonybauman5233]

@isawthelight I agree! I'm 62yrs old this month, and I used after-market parts until I was 60.

[@anthonybauman5233]

@isawthelight I hadn't finished my text and hit send by mistake. I discovered TCCN Automotive by having one of AMD's videos pop up on my phone. I paid attention to him for about a year. I have an Ls430 also, and I thought I would like him to be my mechanic because of the honesty and quality of his work. I'm privileged to have TCCN Automotive work on my vehicles. And I like knowing that my 2002 Ls430 is up to the condition it was designed to be in!* AMD is Thorough.+

Having managed and “worked with” numerous employees, I commend your management style. Once I filtered through many employment applications, interviewing many candidates, hired an employee,,,, they became someone I worked with. I never took credit for their work. Sort of a partnership. My first rule was this,,,,,,,you are more important than the job. If you get sick or need to take family to a Dr appt,,,,we will cover your work while you are absent. In return, you will have our back if we need to be absent. A few took advantage of me and wouldn’t last. Most appreciated and reciprocated our value proposition and our high standards for our completed work.

We placed our order for a 2024 4 Runner TRD Off Road Premium today. The vehicle is at the dock and will arrive at the dealer in a few days. Very excited to receive this iconic Toyota! Thanks again for all your great advice and I wish you continued success.

It's amazing that you can remember the defects & repairs on each car you went to. A good memory & attention to detail! For that car with the electrical gremlins that reveal themselves in the rain - you can always use a garden hose (& adjustable nozzle) to simulate rain.

[@ka1133]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I wish you were closer to me in Niagara Falls Ontario, because I would be your number one customer behind all the other number one customers! I’ve owned 10 or 11 new Toyotas over the last 30 years and the majority of them have gone to the dealer except my last one that I own now. For reasons I won’t get into right now I’ve kept this car for 10 years. And I’ve kept it in immaculate condition and following your recommendations have had the oil change every 8000 km without fail. I have only had two issues one being an oxygen sensor which was replaced by my garage people and just recently I had to have a right rear wheel bearing replaced. Of course the first thing I did was went to your website to check to see whether or not my original diagnosis might be correct and it was. Before I even brought it in to my garage I told him that I felt it was a wheel bearing. They originally were going to look for something cheaper than the original OEM hub, but I told him no. I did not want a Frankenstein car. I wanted a Toyota. It was a little bit more pricey, obviously with, their diagnosis plus their labour and the part from Toyota. But it’s back as good as new. I do appreciate all you do for your customers and I wish I was one of them. I’m looking seriously for a new vehicle but I just cannot pick out one that meets my needs at the moment. I am hoping for a new Sienna, or if Toyota gets moving, perhaps even a new Toyota Stout pickup truck. If they ever get one in into production.
