Thank you so much for watching my channel and for those that have came to the shop! Here's to another year of the channel and the shop!

@matthewfiechtner4791 Год назад

He literally hired a guy who doesn't know about cars but seems to want to learn. Then says he's staying on parts and won't be learning anything anytime soon. The guy is running a shit shop off of his RU-vid revenue. He couldn't care less about his parts guy. He replaced 3 axels in that customers truck in a yr. I've had a lifted car and never needed an axel. But I forgot. He doesn't use the parts cannon and fixes things properly. What a joke!

@petes_CE Год назад

It's amazing how honest mechanics get rewarded with so much work.

@Vyantri Год назад

It is amazing that starting a channel had supplemented AMD's finances (and popularity) enough that he was able to open his own business, which, is a huge fucking deal and an amazing achievement for anyone. I'd never imagined RU-vid would be such a big thing in terms of actual work back in the day when video description was on the right hand side of the video player.

@Dowlphin Год назад

PR, dude. RU-vid channel work. That takes a lot of time away from the 'main' activity.

@rossjohnson2478 Год назад

Other mechanics should learn a lot from AMD’s business model. Honesty exponentially multiplies into tons of word of business

@Dowlphin Год назад

@@rossjohnson2478 It might actually not be primarily the honesty, which is hard to convey to a local potential customer base effectively, but it is the mix of that and his very detail oriented / passionate approach, clean workshop and all, and of course also the aforementioned RU-vid activity, which wouldn't work if every repair shop did that.

@thatoneotherotherguy Год назад

it is weird how many mediocre shops are ok with having a mediocre reputation and mediocre levels of success. There's a top tier, 10/10 independent shop where I am, that I use. They do everything properly, stand behind everything, top quality work. They're ALWAYS very busy, and you'll usually be waiting some days to get in. Imagine that?

"I cannot be more honored... I cannot be more blessed than to have an employee" like him. Wow. Awesome boss. AMD is showing the path of how techs can break out of the dealership abuse realm and create or get onto a high performing team where their work is celebrated and not seen as merely a profit center.

@bobspence714 Год назад

my wife and i put over 300,000 mi. on a 1978 toyota celica gt. we were just starting out in life. young family. often i worried about what would happen if the celica broke down. money was so tight!! the toyota kept going and going. we were able to purchase a property, 2 1/2 achers, build a house and large shop. all because that celica had our backs. that was years ago now, and the little celica was sold to a young lad for $600. currently we have a toyota t100 (which was my dads) , a new toyota rav4,, a toyota tundra, and our daughter drives a corolla. thank you toyota!!!! love your vids. "may the good Lord bless and keep you"

@Odat Год назад

I used to go to a mechanic who was top notch. His shop was as clean as yours. While he was an expert and really knowledgeable, his bad habit was not keeping you updated. He would do $1000 worth of work without letting me know first and he would never let me know when it would be done. My new mechanic is a former Lexus mechanic(over 10 years) and he is really good. He calls me before any work is done and tells what needs to be changed and what can wait. He also tells me exactly when it will be done. Refreshing compared to the last one.

Congratulations! I very recently found your channel after buying a Camry & you've already taught me several things about Toyotas. Before this car, I drove only Datsun/Nissan Zs and Mercedes, mostly because the Toyotas I looked at (decades ago) were just not comfortable. You asked if we had any suggestions for the layout of your shop, and as a retired systems management consultant/car nut with nothing but this video to go by, it looks like you could gain a lot of floor space by putting your bay against the back door between the dock and fire door and moving the bottom lift to the front of the work area. It would make it tight to get the vehicles in/out of the other bays, but would free up enough space to do the in and out work (simple maintenance) without taking up a lift. I don't know IL fire codes nor why you are storing long term work inside the shop, so maybe this isn't feasible, but hey, it's a nickels worth of free advise.

I thank you so much for everything, and thank you also yo Mrs. Car Care Nut and all of your staff. I'm in Rhode Island, so it won't be soon that I can thank you in person, but it's on my bucket list for sure. There is a small local country garage near me that is run by 2 brothers I've been patronizing for 50 years. It used to be a VW / other foreign car shop, but transitioned to Toyota specialist shortly thereafter. These 2 men have been there since they were around 10 years old. One of the brothers estimated that he rebuilt approx. 5000 VW engines, as he started part time after school at , like I said, 10 years old. These guys have a similar work and overall ethics as you, and I highly respect you all. I will send you pictures one day of their garage. Well, I kept you too long already, with so much love to my favorite wacky Iraky, bye for now.

Hi to everyone. We are the ones that are blessed. Thank you for sharing the update after a year! I would love to see everyone in the video, but understandably everyone has a life outside the shop. Also, you should have had cake? With the "The Car Care Nut" logo on it! Anyways, thank you for sharing and showing that you are genuine and caring of all.

17:52 “you work hard for your kids and family and God will bless you!” You have no idea how many hard times I’ve gone thru and thought that to myself. It is true. You continue to work hard and don’t give up things do get better. I’m so happy for you 💙 you are living the American dream, a true example that it is still alive and well.

I can't even begin to express how happy I am for you and the whole family. Working there DOES sound like a dream, and I like to think of myself as being exactly like Matthew, except maybe not as neat/organized 😅. I'd give anything to pack up and come work for you, AMD. I'm under water here since starting at Toyota... My car will be 2 months behind tomorrow, my rent isn't even half paid, my insurance expires tomorrow, all of my credit card and utilities went unpaid, and I have less than $5 to my name. Everything you described about Matthew, from spending 30 (more, honestly) minutes deep in the FSM before asking someone, to learning things very fast, that's exactly me. I love diagnostics, I always have. I have an engineering and computer science background so, diagnostics and troubleshooting come naturally. I'd love to not be under the time crunch and forced to take shortcuts... Again, I am so happy for you. Your vid literally brought a tear to my eye. Here's hoping I don't become home & car-less soon. Love you, bro. It's so refreshing to see people that want to do things right. I get this sickening feeling in the core of my soul when folks want to cheat.

Found your channel earlier this year. Been a Toyota owner since the middle 80’s after having had nothing but problems with a VW and then a GM. Bought Toyotas since! My current car is a 2013 front wheel drive Highlander. Your channel is so informative. Thank you! And thank you for your positive attitude! Congratulations on your first year as an independent shop owner! Best success to you, your workers, and your family.

same had Ford GMC and Hyundai and they all gave me problems bought my first toyota 2 years ago a 09 highlander with 160k miles now at 200,000 and it's running buttery smooth shifts so easily and gets me around town with ease no crazy sounds like some of these new car make.

Japanese car makers esp. Toyota are renowned for the reliability of their vehicles. Their vehicles seldom broke down. Their engines run fine and reach 6 digit mileage without the need to do any major repair on engine. All Toyota cars ask for is timely maintenance and if you do that, they will reward you with peace of mind and longevity.

When you can say your work is a blessing, you've arrived.

Congrats! I'm about to become a customer! I live about 20 miles from your shop, and I just bought a new 2023 Corolla Hybrid LE. I'm going to take Toyota's 2 free oil changes (probably at Romeoville Toyota), then will bring it into you for normal maintenance and future non-warranty repairs. I stopped into your shop the day after you opened to say Hello, and I can't believe all of your progress since then!

@romil6462 Год назад

I own a Corolla in India & follow you tips. Your videos have been very helpful in getting a better understanding of my car & what i need to make it last. Its only done 60k miles but since the roads are not the same here compared to the US. Car eventually takes a lot of beating over the years but hopefully it can last me 100k miles until the end of its valid registration life.

Congratulations on your first year anniversary at your new repair shop AMD, as a new owner of a new Camry, I’ve learned quite a bit by watching your videos!!! Thank you sir!! I pray for much success, with your business and blessings to your family and team. God bless

@ONHARDY Год назад

I have been watching your videos for quite a while now, and l can’t think of a more deserving person to have what you accomplished, it’s been a pleasure to watch you and listen to your explanations of how Toyota products work. Because of watching you and your detailed videos l have bought a new Sienna and am pleased with it. Bless you and may you and your employees prosper.

Praise God for all his blessings he has given you for being a faithful servant to him! Regular customer here from Peoria who brings my 2 black Lexus's to you. I mentioned to you in May when I was last there that you will outgrow this place and move onto a larger place and I hope it happens. Good to know on the 0W20, I have boxes of Mobil 1 stacked to the ceiling in my basement and pick up several 6 packs every time it's on sale. Looking forward to the next service visit! 👍

@brianmctiernan6855 Год назад

Congratulations on your one year anniversary! We can tell that you are sincere regarding the importance of your employees, and translating that into customer service. We are in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I only wish we were closer so that we could bring the six Toyotas in our immediate family to your shop for ongoing service. Continued good luck to you, your family, and your coworkers!

@seamasrigh2162 Год назад

Thank you Car Care Nut and all your crew for the knowledge, inspiration and know-how you share. You've changed my car maintenance life and I've worked on my own vehicles for 50 years. New tricks, new approaches and new ideas - you are a God-send, an honest, modest man. May you continue to be blessed for the good works you do everyday.

@Dbchee50 Год назад

Congratulations on your one-year shop anniversary. I enjoy watching your videos. Your automotive experience and honesty are unparalleled. You are personally a breath of fresh air. I have learned so much from you. Thank you and your family so much for the sacrifice and all your hard work and dedication to help us and the automotive industry. Take pride!!!

You should put the lifts in at an angle-- just like a parking lot. That way you can still easily back them out into your entrance, and you can squeeze them closer together since your lift posts will be offset from each other. Also doing it this way, you will have more working area in front of each car, rather than being right up close to the wall/ tool boxes. You may possibly be able to squeeze in two more lifts this way. I'm not certain without measuring the floor out, etc. But it sure looks like you have a lot of room in there that isn't being used.

@wizardman66 Год назад

I'm such a huge fan of this guy! This is the way a garage should be. I have no doubt the stress that comes with running a garage of this caliber is great but what a huge blessing it is to find a clean and honest repair shop. Very impressive.

@bigred5393 Год назад

YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH.THANK YOU FOR THAT.
