Toyota Engine Blown At 11,000 Miles? Please Get a Second Opinion ALWAYS!

you have no idea how many of us wish we lived close enough to take our car to you.....

I'm betting the dealer lied to get them a low ball trade in, so they could fix it, and have a low mileage used car to sell for a premium.

This guys the king of getting me to listen to a 30 minute rant about Toyotas for no reason

From a retired ford dealer,you are a hell of a man thanks. Greed took over and LAZY Tech could care less that a fact so Sad. CUSTOMER SHOULD BE PROTECTED. YOU CARE AND IT SHOWS.

This is like watching an unusually skilled doctor treat patients that were told their case was a lost cause. I love it!

As an experienced Orthopedic Surgeon , I see patients for second opinion and often times can treat the patient without performing some complex surgery that was recommended by previous doctor!!! Always get second opinions for your car and your body parts!

I dont know how honest mechanic like you stays in business. I started working on my cars, because I was blatently LIED to my face by mechanic and tried to rip me off. Never trusting another mechanic again.

I friggin hate scammer mechanics. Your the shining star to this industry. These stories put a bad name on the industry and glad your here to shine light on peoples scams

The Toyota dealership should be eating every penny of that repair. Disgusting.

Those people are now lifetime customers and the word-of-mouth advertising you will get is priceless. That warm feeling of helping people is priceless too.

I have my Toyotas serviced at your shop and am very happy that you're only 5 miles away from me. I'm a 1 man outfit mobile detailer and I've cleaned headliners that looked far worse than this Avalon and they come out looking near perfection. I also do mold / smoke permanent odor removal as some vehicles are in need of serious help. Funny enough your Tesla guy across the way from you called me about a Tesla that was broken into and racoons were living in it for months and destroyed the interior :/ When I first met you, you were very polite in a calming manner with absolute professionalism. I will see you again soon Ahmed with my Sienna. Wrench on... Thanks again TCCN!

Ahmed, I hope you realize just how uncommon a person/technician you are. People with your level of honesty and integrity have all but disappeared.You could have taken both of these customers to the cleaners like everyone else but you are not that kind of person. May God continue to bless you my friend.

good to see a mechanic who is honest and takes pride in his work...I was a mechanic for 30 yrs and the worst thing i ever heard fellow mechanics say was, "Good enough"...I told them to pretend it was their vehicle or their parents' vehicle and treat it like that.....if it is good enough for YOU then it is good enough for them.....take pride in your work fellow techs, it goes a LONG way

Your video just saved me $3200!!!! Took my wife's Avalon in for an oil change recently. The first mechanic noticed a coolant leak and suggested replacing both head gaskets. After watching your video on how bulletproof this machine typically is and hearing your advice on how we should always look for second opinions when major service is suggested. I took this one to the dealership. Typically I do all of my car's service with a private mechanic, of whom I've used and trusted for years. I don't think he was scamming me or anything like that. But his opinion varied from a veteran mechanic at the Toyota dealership, of whom proudly said he had been working on these cars since the 80s. Noticing the leak, it appeared to be something from years past that has since been taken care of. No other symptoms of a head gasket failure existed. So now I'm walking out of here with a few more dollars in my wallet. Thank you CCN! Me and my wife will use this money to go on vacation instead.

I can hear your frustration in this video. That car is still very beautiful, thanks for saving it. Regarding the rack, that’s why when you bring your car in you ask for diagnosis. You tell the shop to replace the rack you will get “customer states replace rack. Work performed: replaced rack. Technician discovered that lines need to be replaced as well”. Good on you for being honest. I wish all mechanics / techs were honest.

That’s why I drive 4 hours just to get my car serviced by TCCN! I think AMD is worth it! I highly recommend his shop if you need your Toyota inspected or repaired!

The reason I love your channel is because it’s like watching a mystery movie and in the end the good guy always wins. You always solve the problem meticulously and explain it so logically.

You are the nemesis of all wreckless and dodgy dealers and technicians for the greater good! Your expertise is unquestionable and your presenting style is world-class, I could watch your vids for hours...You should have a mini-series on one of the large streaming plattforms, seriously.

I still have my 1999 Toyota Avalon with 255k miles, still running strong 💪.

This is one of the best and honest Mechanic left in this world!!
