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!

This is the man that sold me on my 4Runner. Bought with confidence at 168, 000 miles and currently 248, 000 4 years later 👍

I’ve had my car serviced by him and his team. He is a great person and happy to do business with him. His service secretary said they’ve had people come as far as New Jersey to get their car serviced by him (he’s in southern Chicago suburbs). Also, he is scheduled out about 2.5 months out. Not a joke. And that was even after he has hired more. Anyone is lucky to have him and his team work on your vehicle.

In my corporate world, this guy is like the guy who can code expertly + communicate & teach clearly + have great leadership = will go far in this youtube career.

Ahmed is always a man of integrity first, a great mechanic second.

[midcenturymodern]

I'm not even a Toyota enthusiast, and I still appreciate this man's honesty.

[donwilliams]

My wife's 2017 4RUNNER I literally had to argue with the dealer when I demanded 5, 000 mile oil changes. I actually changed dealerships because of this.

Both Kids got used IS250`s as their first car and now with > 200k on each car zero problems. Regular maintenance done at home with genuine Toyota parts and fluids.

[losidude]

Bro is the best car guy on youtube. God bless this man

[markhellgeth]

Thanks Ahmed & crew! You did a fantastic job servicing my 5th GEN 4 Runner two weeks ago. 10 years old and still drives like the day I bought it new. Be well & God bless!

[max]

By far the best mechanic I have listened to on YouTube

[steffenworldcitizensurf]

I would gladly pay for a course under Ahmed’s tutelage.
A genuine teacher.

[dannypolkinghorn]

I'll just keep driving my 2.2l 2000 camry with 346, 000 miles. Thanks for being an honest mechanic!!

This is why AMD is great!!!! He's not a shill for Toyota meaning that Toyota could do no wrong, instead AMD is 100% about the people in this world and their best interest. And this video once again proves it. He clearly states Toyota is not perfect, they aren't the one stop shop, and for this people need to do their research and stay away from certain years, models, and trims, and always maintain your car and the services.

[ryanwinter]

Currently watching this from the waiting room of a shop, looking at my 100 series having a coolant leak fixed.

[BernandoTurner]

Sir you Offended Noone.. you are helping Folks who see this Video before they Buy A Money Pit Car..Thankyou again.😊

[USMANTTG]

AMD, your Toyota experience is a blessing to owners with your ethical/honest feedback.

Bought a 2014 4Runner limited brand new. 230k kilometers now and not a single problem. Changed my first light bulb last year. Best car I’ve ever owned

[jimc]

My IS250 lasted 270, 000 miles with only one repair. Water pump. Best car I’ve ever owned!
