It's very hard to find an honest mechanic like you

[Doc]

Toyota recommends that I change my oil every 10K miles, but I change it every 6 months or 5K miles (I only drive 8-10K miles per year).
Toyota recommends that I change the front and rear differentials, transfer case and transmission fluid every 60K miles, but we use our (my) TRD Off Road for work around our property and I take it on dusty forest and service roads, so I change those fluids / grease every 30K miles.
We keep our vehicles for 15-20 years or 250 - 300K miles.
Yes I May overkill on maintenance but I want to keep our vehicles for as long as possible because they’re so expensive to replace.
I’m almost 60 years old and my current 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road is my 4th daily driver since I was 18.
I plan on driving my TRD until I die. I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using my Tacoma to plow the 5-7 feet of snow off our private road until she too passes away.

I live in the rust belt, I have a 1994 toyota. Every year I undercoat it and wash it regularly during winter months. It has no rust at all. It's all about how well we take care of them..

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.

I hope your shop makes you a multimillionaire my friend, you deserve the profit you make as you do what is right for your customer’s cars

Toyota tech here, the tech that works next to me had a 2023 tacoma with nearly 40k miles come in with a check engine light concern with DTC related to cam timing/oil control (dont remember the specific DTC). Long story short he removed the sensor and found sludge build-up. Customer's last oil change was when the truck had 12k miles. Take care of your cars folks.

Bad drivers in my area is the #1 destroyer of cars !

Number One Problem for a car owner is finding a shop or mechanic that follows the principles you recommend.
1. Fix what needs fixing.
2. Use original parts and not up up charge for it.
3.Uses realistic maintenance and fluid scheduling.
4. Tries to educate the car owner not take advantage of ignorance.
5. Charge accordingly and transparently.
It would be so helpful if you could get other shops across the country and world to take the Car Nut Pledge to do these things.

Finding a good mechanic is just as important as finding a good car

[joshm]

My long term car-keeping method: Use only Top Tier Fuel. Never let oil level get low. Keep tires inflated. Drive gently until things warm up, then drive normally, and don't be afraid of full throttle acceleration (when safe). Run AC at least once a week, even in winter. Drive the vehicle at least once a week, and avoid short trips where the engine does not fully heat up (I do 10 miles as absolute minimum, but 20 or more is best). And starting with your next purchase, do RESEARCH and buy cars rated as MORE RELIABLE.

Best automotive show on Youtube bar none. Always insightful and on point in your explanations.

He talks from the heart to help us ignorant masses get educated. God Bless him.

[ThomasAssim-Ita]

AMD you're not only a mechanic, most of all a great human being and great asset to the world. God bless 🙏🙏🙏

From Canada here. Your best bet for rust proofing is an annual oil type spray designed for vehicle rust proofing. Corrosion Free is the best. Rust Check and Krown also good. Avoid rubberized undercoating as it traps moisture and can accelerate rust

NOT changing your fluids in a timely manner will not help you. Probably the #1 thing you can do to keep your car running for as long as possible, is change the fluids.

I've been a car enthusiast for over 40 years, and I take a meticulous, by-the-book approach to DIY projects. That said, I've made my share of mistakes and broken things along the way—no one is perfect—but at least I recognize when something goes wrong and learn from it. In my experience, when a mechanic makes a mistake on my car, they rarely admit it, and things can quickly go downhill. That's why I choose to do almost all the repairs myself, except for bodywork.

As a DIYer and original 2015 Prius owner, this YouTube channel has been my #1 maintenance go-to. My general approach is to follow the owners' manual, although I'm adopting the CCN's more stringent standards because I want to see how long I can make my car last. Being a DIYer lets me avoid scams, save money, make sure things are done right, and find the exact same repair on my exact same car on YouTube. I can usually find at least a half-dozen clips that way, note their similarities and differences, take what seems like the best path, and if anything goes wrong it's not likely to be major. So far, that's been working. Thanks again! 😃

As much I hate to spend my hard earned money to service my family Toyotas with genuine parts and service, you make a lot sense with your explanations ! Thank you for your honesty and integrity ! God Bless !

Great example of proper research was when I decided to do my valve cover gaskets for my 2UZ in my Tundra. I went through days of videos and only found one that did it correctly including using OEM parts. When I questioned a couple of guys who put the tube seals in backwards they got upset and told me this was the way it was done and it didn’t matter. I’m just a shade tree but I educated myself, used OEM parts and thanks to this wonderful YouTuber the job went perfectly.

As a 60 year old mechanic with 42 years experience, it is a compliment to you that i am watching a channel on car maintenance of my favorite brand
