In this weeks episode I explain some of the basic tools that I use regularly as a flatrate toyota dealership technician. Hope this will point any new comers in the right direction when it comes to working on the line.

Just remember a master mechanic can do more with a Pittsburgh tool than a rookie can with a Snap On..
I’ve said it a hundred times. Tools don’t make the tech 👌
its 2021 and I've been a lube tech at jiffy lube for about 7 months while in school and wanted to move up, I ended up just now getting hired at Toyota, the only place i ever wanted to work at. anyway ive been looking for vids to understand what tools i need to be a step ahead you're the only one that popped up and showed me the way and what tools i really needed also great advices for me as an entry level tech! I will definitely be watching your vids more often! thanks! PEACE!
I like your approach.
You don't tell people to buy useless tools.
Just what you need.
A breath of fresh air :)
YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE KIDS TODAY!!!!
I’m a diesel Mobil mechanic and this is pretty similar to the tools I carry with me other than my sockets and wrenches go up to a bigger size. Great vid!
I was a heavy line tech at Kia got fed up with the bs and left have been thinking about trying Toyota but was worried I maybe didn’t have all of the tooling to perform day to day jobs there thank you for this video I could probably start tomorrow!
Hey Nikko,
Im starting my first dealership job next month, Thanks for the videos man.
Great tips Nick all your tips were right on point had all my stuff allset when I started at the dealer
Good list. I keep some of my common pliers in the big screwdriver holes and got a stand up rack for the rest. It saves a ton of space
Great video I just started as a lube tech at Toyota cant wait until I move up to a line tech after passing my ASEs and completing school.
Thank you so much for this video bro. Very well put together.
I’m a GM tech, and pretty similar obviously different sizes in sockets and wrenches and some specialty stuff, but super good video. Get some confidence in newer techs and definitely get them excited to do bigger jobs!
Just found your channel last week. Great vid!
Actually going to be at AVS on the 22nd🤘
Thanks for tuning in and sweet!
Yup, that all sounds about right! 👍🏼 That’s the great thing about Toyota, they don’t change too much to where you have to buy so much tools. If you got the basics, you can do a lot of repairs with Toyota’s!
Exactly. 10, 12, 14, 17, and 19 and your solid lol
@Hector Cortez-aponte-cabrera I don’t see the route of your problem here, my man. Are you saying you’re losing coolant in the coolant reservoir?
Love this video! I have the same cart in yellow also. As a Lexus and Toyota owner I’ve referenced this a few times, most recently while buying nepros box wrenches in 10,12,14,17,19 sizes. Great idea for storing a big prybar too! I got a 44” mayhew HD and now I finally know where to store it!! Take care brother.
Well done, good suggestions 👍🏽
Thanks man I need this
Love this.
You did a great job,, thanks for your time.. we have a 2006 corolla,, and a 2016 Rav4..
I wipe my own ass...
Love your content.. I♥️cars
Loving the new hair style👌👨🔧
19:27... Couldn't agree more. Awesome advice.
That yellow tool cart looks so good!
Excellent tool list. It’s about the same for Honda’s.
It is about time! where have you been????????
Very cool, excellent advise.
Cool video man! You’re absolutely right, you don’t need a whole set and also, if you’re like me and just work on your personal Tacoma, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm 19mm, 22mm and 24mm is all i really ever use lol. Awesome video man.
Don't you need 21 too? Or you changed to aftermarket lug nuts?
Nice video man!! I'm a tech at a Lexus dealer and just got moved to be a line tech a week ago. Really good video very spot on!!
Nice man thank you!
@@LetsDriftMedia What's it like over at the toyota dealer?
I'm at a nissan and kia and it is getting bad. Nissans are poorly designed shitboxes (lots of transmission failures), kias are pretty easy to work on yet they keep screwing us with their warranty program (dropping FRT, asinine recalls/campaigns, so on and so forth). Kia's have pretty poor engines too. About to leave the dealership for a different trade.
@@TheeAbstractHero you want to leave that to work for an Independent shop?
@@vuhuynh702 I did leave that to work for a company that builds racing engines for Evos.
Those total grip gloves caught my attention. Are they pretty good?
Very helpful 👍
Yea man dead accurate. Coming from a Lexus tech working on Lex/Toy/Sci
I need to buy hose clamp removal and interior door stuff , amateur working on pruis and Hondas , some 1/4 ratchets and sockets that ypu mentioned
Just found your channel , very interesting 👌fire brother
I'm starting an apprenticeship at a Toyota dealership soon, this video helps a lot! What kind of specialty tools does your dealership provide?
Tech streams haha
How’s your apprenticeship going? I’m torn between Honda and Toyota to choose as an internship for school
Hey👋, this is a good video 👍and you have a lot of useful tools,
do you use electric impact wrenches more often than air impact wrenches?
By the way, there are always not enough flashlights.
Thanks and I hardly use air now pretty much all my tools are electric
Do you use your tec-angel for wheels nuts or do you use a click type for wheels? As it is probably quicker?
Matco makes a punch for those axel nuts and y’all should have a sst punch I used to use my regularly center punch all the time but it just stopped working ruined a few axles and found out Matco offers a Toyota axle nut punch works flawlessly! Give it a look
Do you think its better to work at a tire plus or tire kingdom( they say they pay for ase certications and have a career path) or try to be a lube tech at a dealership. I want to be a master tech in 7 years for a dealership.
Yes I know will be helpful for many guys out there starting. I know when I started I had a huge stepping stone cuz I have saved prior and done a 15k investment which was great but many might not have that opportunity and some can. Great video brother. God bless
Solid tool recommendation for popping cv axles out of the tranny? One that non-Toyota techs can get a hold of?
I gotta replace my CV axles soon on my 16 Scion Tc
I had to have 4x's the tools the service euro:saab,bmw,volvo mercedes. Have been buying tools nonstop since 2007 lol
Yo Nick! That’s a tight video, tight haircut too. Peace!
can you share the flat rate pay for that area?
Do you have to go to technical school to land an entry level tech job?
ive been at a Toyota Dealership for about 1,5 years now and i have yet to use a 6mm hex tool, however we use the 7mm all the time, the "bolts" on brake calipers on the Yaris needs a 7mm hex (at least the rear ones, not all of them have the same style for the front). though this may be because i am in Europe, so if there are people here that is watching from Europe that would probably be good to know. Also all the oil-filter "cups" can be ordered from Toyota, they have their own part numbers and are called SSTs (Special Service Tool).
The stupid fucking oil filter access cover on the TRD tundra skid plate takes a 6mm hex.
Whats the part number for a 65mm oil filter cup?? Trying to get on for my 16 Toyota Corolla that uses the spin on filters
What is the best obd Toyota Toyota scanner??
This is what I’ve been looking for. Everything you need, nothing you don’t. Most of these videos the dude has 3 full sets of sockets in the top part.
8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21 is enough to do practically anything on a toyota lol
Excellent Video, Thanks!!
I’ve been a non dealer tech for 10 plus years now and have thought about switching to dealers a couple times.. Toyota would def be one I would consider.. Would I have to start at the bottom being that i’ve never worked for a dealer or for toyota before?? What tips do you have for transitioning over
I think you’ll start at the bottom like passing shop towels to the techs n thinks of that nature
Are you no longer at the BMW dealer?
What if any special coolant pressure adapters do you need ? Please proved part numbers of available
Most sets comes with the adapters you will need
Nice video bro
What cart is that?
Harbor Freight US general.
I really like the long neck 3/8 cordless ratchet. Makes everything easier I’ve noticed
Hi nick, really like your tool setup and appreciate all your helpful videos. I have a question to ask. So, I'm interning at this auto muffler shop and started roughly 4 months ago. I go 2-3 times a week because I live an hour away from my work. Anyways, What would be the normal internship time because I have to drive 120 miles round trip every time I have work lol. My car hates me.
All depends on the shop. I’ve never done an internship I started working part time at the dealer right after trade school.
Except from the 12/14mm socket and wrench you are going to use everything showed here! On euro cars most instead of 12/14mm you are going to use 13mm and a lot of E-Torx😁
Oh man you went to Citrus College! How was it there? I'm *baarely* in the beginning of getting back into cars since I was a kid and I'm looking to attend in a couple years for their T-TEN program but I'm super nervious about making that kind of big decision for myself
It’s a great school and won’t break the bank. I rec citrus if you are unsure about this career path. In case it’s not for you at least you didn’t go 0 grand into debt going to UTI or other expensive trade school
@@LetsDriftMedia Oh for sure! Free tuition for CA residents is basically unheard of. My dad went to UTI and really is disappointed with just about every aspect of it, but the cost most of all - so if im gonna do this I'm really hoping to learn from his mistakes and not spend nearly as much money haha. Thanks for responding, man. Your videos have been really helpful and inspiring!
@@ghoulannabanana no problem. And I didn’t mean citrus college would be free. Total tuition with all costs ends up around 5 grand. Pretty close to free though. I was lucky enough to get financial aid for being in a low income household so I didn’t have to pay anything out of pocket when I went.
Definitely talking about Corolla fuel pumps with that air hammer 🤣
YEPPPPPP
I'm an ambulance mechanic -mostly Fords - and this is pretty similar to what I have in my roll around box.Where did you get that tray in the top of your small box? I have the same one and that tray would be awesome to have.
They look similar to the trays I got from Snap-On. I got them on sale, so it wasn't too bad. I believe I've seen them on Amazon and at harbor freight now.
Hey I just started on the lube rack, all the teams fight and try to get each other fired. I only been here for 3 weeks, I have a couple of tools how do I get out of this stuff and into the main shop. I try and sell as much work as possible and I stay to myself and work as efficiently as possible when we have work to do.
It takes time to move up from lube rack just gotta prove your worth day in and day out. Also getting your ASE certs will help
@@LetsDriftMedia ok awesome will do 💪🏾🙏🏾 thanks for the advice
@Cory A yea it sucks they told me I’ve been working really hard and they notice and that they need to send me home early because I was already over 40hrs by Thursday lol so I have no idea I should’ve taken that
Toxic work environments should be avoided at all costs, jobs are dime a dozen
Not trying to be one of those guys but 3m makes a gasket remover thing for your air 90 degree grinder
About to start entry level tech at Toyota at 11hr is that good? I am 30 years old does Toyota give raises and how often thanks brother?
Keep up the great work your channel is helped me so much man, your an inspiration to us all Nick!!!
Part number for the panel popper set
you gonna be filming at the next event?
Filming my self yes
Ok I have a serious question can I work with toyota as a apprentice lube express mechanic without work experience after I finish high-school or do I need to go to college for the T-Ten program. I did get certified in high-school but for the student dcx program but I'm not sure if I can apply to work in toyota plz help
Anybody can be a express tech, just walk in and talk to the manager, most Toyota dealerships I’ve been to don’t require anything to be express tech, they will train u
@@dabaydestrian437 thank u so much I've search through the web and I couldn't find a decisively answer thanks and one more question if I got to a community college for the Tten program can I work and study for my ase of TTen do toyota let's you study and work at the same time
@@zeusgod2k148 Yes as long as it doesn’t interfere with your performance but as I recall if you have potential some will pay for the certifications. Hope this answers for you. God bless
@@zeusgod2k148 since it’s a Toyota sponsored program, I’m sure they’d let you work on weekends. My dealership is good at working with my schedule.
I'm honestly surprised at how little I need magnets. I bought one and I used it 2 times in almost 3 years.....my coworkers use it more than me🤣🤣
For the most part I use my pocket screwdriver magnet but the bendy ones comes in handy
Are you able to have tattoos showing working at at dealership ?
depends on the dealer, most places ive been at didnt care too much.
where do i get the plastic pry tool the 3 piece set on 4:02?
They are from snapon
@@LetsDriftMedia they are mint do u have a part number by any chance?
Ahhh verrrry nIce
As an Audi tech it is mind blowing I would be able to go a single day without 1/4 much less years.
I bet. At BMW I used 1/4 all day. With toyota 3/8 fits almost everywhere
1/4” ratchet? You don’t find those helpful for intake manifold removals on the tsi engines?
Does Toyota use 12 or 6 point for their axle nuts?
12point if it’s a factory nut
@@LetsDriftMedia do you use your 12 point on the 6 nuts when you see them? It would be cheaper just to get the 12p when it comes to the axles but I know some vehicles take a lot or torque.
@@nickshowsstuff435 yea I only have 12point sockets for axle nuts never had a problem.
@@LetsDriftMedia appreciate the reassurance. Sometimes that’s all I need! Did my lower ball joint on an 05 tundra at home I was pretty proud of myself. Lifted 6” on 35s so more of a pain in the ass to work on but working on it felt really good at least when I was done so I just wanna have most of what I need for the truck. I think the Axle nut is a 30 but Idr id have to look it up.
Starting as a lube tech tomorrow at toyota dealer. First time at a dealer. But unfortunately I'm starting at flat rate. Any tips or videos I should watch?
Starting flat rate? Not hourly? Why is that.
Check out flat rate master he will tell you a lot about flat rate and if it’s dead or not. Good luck
@@TAC40_ that is how they pay the whole shop. It was also my first offer and I snagged the opportunity and I really don't care to much about the money right now just about getting the knowledge and experience at the flat rate pace.
@@eliezerramosjr1017 ill have to check him out more iv seen a few
@@nahumdass7978 dang that’s awesome. I hope you learn a lot of tips and tricks quick and make some good money, congrats!
Where you get that black organizer ?
Any Lowe’s as I got mine but Amazon, Home Depot, Ace hardware, even tool trucks sell them (tool trucks to expensive if you ask me) but anywhere they sell equipment and automotive tools. But again depends on preference. Hope it helps. God bless
I got a similar black organizer from harbor freight. It comes in a 3 pack for about less than 10 dollars if I remember. They are near the storage aisle.
Is that an extreme tools box?
Looks like the 5 door us general roll cart
Why is 18mm uncommon in sockets and wrenches?
Not uncommon for other brands but this video was for Toyota techs specifically
Nice pictures. My girlfriend does the same kind of stuff.
The fuel pump recall?
Glad to see im not the only one who uses an air hammer lmao
Yep lol
Make a video of cool tools that aren't necessary, but you r others buys just cus it's cool lol
Since the economy is in the shitter how is work and are they still hiring apprentices
Actually been pretty good man. Fuel pump recall came in clutch. Staying busy
@@infamousgarage4900 there’s more work now since most people are driving long distances rather than flying. Also the big boom in the rv/travel trailer industry has given life to truck repairs and big time with diesel hd trucks. People more willing to do big repairs since they don’t want to be stranded driving cross country.
Its never been better! You get what you put into your work.
Man I seem to always use 1/4 drive but I work for dodge
TOWER OF GOD
how many tool videos have you made?
Quite a few now
@@LetsDriftMedia Its awesome to get an insider look on what youd need to be a skilled machanic! keep it up
How mach money
Nick my dude love the channel man! Starting as a entry tech at Toyota!!! Hoping it’ll provide me some skills for life. Older fella but it’s on the job training so no school needed. You on Facebook
Messenger by chance bro ????
So you went back to Toyota from bmw? Good choice ;)
Make more Lexus videos please
Aren't the screws in the dash or anywhere else going to be JIS and not Phillips?
BREAKKKDOWWNNNN 🤟🤟🤟
im 32 years old should i get into auto mechanic?
yes
lmao I liked the inside joke about the air hammer..... FUCKING FUEL PUMPS ;)
20ta02!!
I'm just here for your algorithm
What you just show us can you put rough dollar amount????
50 cents
too many variables based on brand and all that
Defiantly over time type of thing rather than just going out and buying everything. If your just a c /lubelevel tech no need for EVERY single thing in vid. get what you need as cheap as needed and if you break shit upgrade if you don’t then cool use and abuse save money 👌🏾
@@zues2013 Yep, same rules I follow
Yea pretty hard to keep track after all these years.
YoooYooYo🗣
the best part is it seems to be all metric
His stubby impact looks like mine
Air hammer to pull out, tool to put in... lmao
6:28 Maybe a headlamp so you can have both hands free .
What brand wobble sockets do you have?
I have the "expert" brand I believe it's made by Mac
I feel like you've done this video already
Who makes the extra long 12mm and 14mm ratcheting wrench? I almost choked on my drink when I saw you pull those Hazard Fraud tools.
