Done to perfection without ever losing your cool one time. I wish I could get through one service 😂 it's impressive. The guys he has working for him have an unbelievable teacher and mentor.
Dealerships charge each job by labor hours. The additional time needed to remove older parts (hoses, wire harnesses, etc) only adds to their labor without proper compensation. This car needed a softer and more patient, experienced senior technician. Excellent work and superb posting AMD.
Actually, shops (dealerships and independent alike) will charge book time + additional required time. However, if book time is 4hrs and they can do it in two, they still charge 4hrs. If it takes 6 hours…they will charge for 6. No shop, regardless of what they say, ever works for free. They will however, charge you for time NOT used with the justification of “that’s what the book time calls for.” Many reputable YT mechanics admit this openly (SMA, WWW, PHAD, Ray, etc). What and how shop owners (management) pay their individual employees (mechanics/technicians) is a different conversation.
When you get an old Supra 4 years from now you will have this video to refresh your memory. You through your willingness to share knowledge you are doing a great service for mechanics and enthusiast's now and in the future. You are a good person in so many ways.
Watching you working on these old gems is like meditation, Ahmed. I love the way you mindfully progress slowly but efficiently while having a conversation with the car about the quirks and the progress. I really appreciate your videos and your channel, and I love how you contribute to the community of Toyota lovers, new or old alike. Thanks Ahmed, keep up the good work
"“I like the word ‘gumption’ because it’s so homely and so forlorn and so out of style it looks as if it needs a friend and isn’t likely to reject anyone who comes along. I like it also because it describes exactly what happens to someone who connects with Quality. He gets filled with gumption. “A person filled with gumption doesn’t sit around dissipating and stewing about things. He’s at the front of the train of his own awareness, watching to see what’s up the track and meeting it when it comes. That’s gumption. If you’re going to repair a motorcycle, an adequate supply of gumption is the first and most important tool. If you haven’t got that you might as well gather up all the other tools and put them away, because they won’t do you any good.” ― Robert Pirsig
How do you possibly know about every car that comes in? 😮You are simply AMAZING! No wonder you have so many cars in your shop. I have read there is a long waiting list to get your car in. FANTASTIC
Working on older cars is a lot like exploratory surgery. You don't know what's beneath, but you have an idea of what it should be. These years of toyota is like a matrioshka doll of systems; all working together while standing alone.
@@THUNDERCAT37c Not an automatic before DSG and in the 90's it isn't. Toyota only started making DECENT automatic gearboxes after Corolla E10 which is the 2002-2008 model with it's shitty "automatic" which is a robot who manually inputs the gear (like you would) Don't be fooled.
I love your narratives - brings me back to 14 year old me working with my dad on cars. His commentary was very similar to yours including the third hand, the engineers but most of all how a mechanic never gives up, is persistent, patient and a problem solver. His lessons are still with me today. Sadly I lost my dad last year at age 99 so during your video I laughed and cried but enjoyed every minute. Thank-you!
Anything and everything I work on whether it's cars or things around the house I think about my dad. I couldn't even tell you how many times I've been asked "How do you know how to do all these things"?...I can and do proudly say everything I know I learned from my dad. Who was a man that could and did fix or build anything and everything and as far back as I can remember I was always by his side helping which now watching my son who's in his 30's and is also very capable and like me was always by my side helping and learning...and I've heard his friends ask him the same question "how do you know all this" and his response is the same "I learned everything from my dad"..... And me being 60 now there's not a single day goes by that I don't think of my dad and we lost him over 20 yrs. ago.....
Every time you say, "but, that's ok" I smile big. Your genteel nature is so calming and your methodology so expertise! Thanks again for sharing this beautiful example of earlier Toyota engineering. Wishing you and Mrs CCN a Wonderful Day and Holiday Season AMD. Cheers.
What a wonderful blast from the past!!! I think everyone’s jaw dropped at how she purred at the end when you fired her up!!! Great job, as always and Merry Christmas to the Car Care Nut family!!!!
20 year old dealership tech here. Thanks for the tips. Love all the videos. And thats a car ive never seen in person. We got one with no wing recently. But i dont know if it was turbo. It was a automatic.
Can't believe I watch the whole thing! Truly amazing work! I'm a consultant with franchise dealerships and we hear 10 years... "We don't repair vehicles any vehicles over ten years old". Very sad that they don't support their customers.
I have a 230k 2007 tacoma 2.7 4wd. This summer, I had a dealership install a new engine short block, gears, guides, timing chain, etc. Truck is rust free, bought in Florida 5 years ago, undercoated each year. I possibly was lucky to get a dealership do the work. Apart from CCN, seems very difficult to find a private shop that would install a short block. (Most would recommend used engine.)
Used to work in my father in laws tranny shop. He was an old time mec. he always talk to his cars. some times he spoke to them as they were his children. From what I see you love your job, sometimes not so much. hang in there. I love watching and listening to you . Your a great wealth of info. your video work is excellent. one comment, we don't see any customer inner action, but your not geeting paid like those shows. Any way keep it up I'm sure many enjoy your expert advise, and honesty.
I am addicted to these videos, I was exhausted when I came home, fast forwarded just a little bit, could not peel my eyes off it. I am stressing to my son, who is seeking a worthy career, to consider auto diagnostics and repair..that or health care, because cars and people will always need fixing. Happy Holidays Car Care Nuts, Thank You Ahmed, and God Bless you and your family, and have yourself a wonderful New Year.
Thank You, for repairing our older cars like these.. ! I have a 1987 Supra and the Technician who fixed my car , I'm forever greatful ! Love your videos ! Can't wait till you make the video of the mk3 you have in your shop ! All in good time though (:
valve covers were a lot harder than they looked when you just look at the engine. who is addicted to care nut videos. something calming about watching these videos.
Maybe you could keep a log book of odd problems on certain models that you only come across many years apart. When that model comes in you could check your notes before you get started!
AMD = Awesome Mechanic He is like watching an artist perform his craft. Watching him work give me reassurance that my skills are not that bad. Thanks for what you do AMD.
My sister had a gen1 1981 Supra (Doodle Bug) in the late 80's. The poor thing was beat! I took it over during college in downstate Illinois because she could no longer get it to pass emissions in Chicago. I sold it to a grad student before I left school. I remember warning him that the driver's door would randomly pop open on right turns. It also had a cracked manifold.
I don't have a Supra, but enjoy watching how u work. How you handle situations. You have so much patience AMD. I miss those engine codes on the old Toyotas, had/used it on my old 97 Camry.
I love working on these old Toys. That was an era where Toyota depended on quality mechanical engineering, and not something you could change with a scan tool update. My favorites are the 3RC and the 22R
A real Masterclass AMD. This is a feature length example of how your patience and expertise combine to get the job done. Your customers are very lucky to have you.
This Car Care Nut is one of the best in the business. Love him to do a engine breakdown on a 2ZZ GE Toyota/Yamaha engine. Especially regarding pistons and the special aluminium/silicon coated piston bores.
I admire how you are able to keep your cool when things don't go the way they are suppose to. My wife says I sound a little crazy when I talk to the car or anything else I'm working on and they don't want to act right. lol
I’m a HVAC mechanic. I work on condo heat pumps. I know nothing about auto mechanic but I’m so intrigued by the work. The videos are very informative and you show everything and all the process. Even the mindset. Some of the things you talk about are quite relatable in HVAC mechanical. Please continue the videos. I just bought a 2020 Carolla Se. I won’t be handling on to it long but I want to learn so I can work on my own next car. Thanks for the vids and warm wishes to you and the family.
Loved watching this series on the Supra. Bought back memories of when I owned a 1992 Lexus(Toyota) Soarer with the 1JZ-GTE twin turbo engine. Got it with 40k kms on the clock and sold it 20 years later with 140k kms, only major items replaced were the top radiator tank and A/C compressor. Super comfortable to drive, a real pleasure. Had to sell it as I just retired and found it harder to get in and out.
When doing the valve cover gaskets on the 2JZ-GE engine it’s a pain in the ass too, because you have to remove the entire throttle body unit. Totally understand
The core and fascination of AMD's work and RUclips Channel. This is what many of us enjoy the most - your expertise and passion for Japanese Toyota/Lexus cars through solving problems and learning during the process. Fascinating!! Keep up this great content!!!👌🏽🌟💫
This reminds me of a 1986 MR2 I use to see all the time when I worked in detailing at a bodyshop. Next door was a Toyota maintenance shop and it was in their lot. The story behind it was a guy brought it in to have it fixed and when the bill came in he couldn't afford to pay it. So the car sat on their lot for years. Till the dealership closed and moved.
I just did valve cover gaskets, cam seals, spark plugs, spark boots on my 2JZGE in 2005 Lexus IS300 I stood in the gap where radiator was to reach the back and save my back. I had 6 swimming pools of oil in the spark plug cavities 😮. Good to see you removed the first cam caps, I did also an used the Toyota FIPG per manual.
Awesome restorative maintenance on a great old Toyota GT... After seeing this, I believe I will replace all of the rubber engine hoses, seals and gaskets on my 2002 4.7 when I replace the timing belt in 10,000 miles. Some of the hoses are hard as a rock and cracking... now to find a parts list for these items.
I really love your videos! I have a 97Camry XLE with a 6 cylinder engine, which my dad bought new in 1996. Would love to see you work on one in future videos. Car is original and always garages, with only 80K miles on it. It rides even better Than my 2018 Lexus GS 350!
Taking my GX470 to a shop Today to have similar work done. They’re allowing me to supply OE parts that I sourced from rockauto. I don’t mind DIY but with my limited tools and experience a job like this would take several days. I love these videos, great channel.
Now retired, but spent 40 years swinging Spanner’s. STEP ONE, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY! Love your work, love the content, but PLEASE, show the safe way to do the job.
Ahmed, Thank you for all your knowledge on Toyota & Lexus vehicles. Your videos are superb. You have taught me a ton!! You do the work thoroughly, without cutting corners, exactly the way I do all my projects. Its refreshing to see your work ethic & honesty!! If I lived near your shop, we would be doing business.
Another fine effort. As always, watching another CCN video because it comforts me to know somebody in auto repair career field is conscientious and competent (at the same time). I'd be happy knowing he fixed my airplane, much less my Toyota. As the original owner of a 1995 Corolla Wagon, it's tough finding OEM, or OEM-grade, parts. There's so much not being made. I'd love to know where a pro mechanic like CCN will source the difficult stuff for cars of this vintage. Or, how much compromise will he make with aftermarket parts that might not be OEM grade? I can't even get some things for my 2011 Venza, not that I want to keep that POS any longer than necessary.
Nice work, I like it. Just an observation; you should’ve get one of the lights that you can strap it to your head. Every place you will look at, will be illuminated and have the advantage of using both hands to work. That’s what I have been using.
Great stuff - had to make a second pot of coffee for this one. Only thing missing is the garage stereo playing in the background & the usual swearing at the manufactures that accompanies such involved work.
One trick for pulling stuck on hoses is to use a trim removal tool to push out the end of the hose. The hose expands and lets go as its compresses against itself. Alternatively a hose grip pliers BDGPL411HGZ works excellent too.
Many years ago I stripped down and removed a supra MK3 engine. I'm not a mechanic and my mates took a look at the parts and the wires everywhere and said thats never going back together. Well it took me a long time as I needed to have the crank reground and the head machined. Eventually I did put it ll back together. I cant say it was fun and 2 local garages refused to do it as they said it was too complicated and would be more than the car was worth. Anyway I got it running and it was good for several months until the head blew again. The MK3 is well known for blowing head gaskets especially if you increase the boost. I fixed the head again and then sold it. Lovely car to drive but it had to go.
Regarding the trac ecu and most’90’s Denso/toyota ecu the capacitors tend to dry out and leak electrolyte on the PC board, if caught on time you can just replace them with new parts and your good to go
you need one of those reverse floor creepers that you lie down on your stomach so you can hover over the engine in relative comfort - hamstrings and back dont suffer
Aw man I wish that was my Supra! I'd be working on it at home DIY Thanks for the lengthy, in-depth video This legend is one of my favorite cars of ALL time
Still looking at cars, here's my take on it. Car fax is very helpful to eliminate cars that drove on salty roads and to monitor oil change info. Car Max, Vroom, Hertz and maybe Avis do their own certification. So you never know where its really from. Same with Auto dealers they certified it and the car history is wiped clean. Usually Certification has to be 85K miles 6 years old. Some Honda's do another certification more time and miles silly I found out. So is certification really better than a good carfax?
Awesome video! I have never owned a Toyota, but I find myself watching your videos for the love of fixing cars. Carry on I appreciate your expert knowledge and honestly. Carry on! Jasonbear
It's just great to watch a perfectionist at work, nothing half way done, no stone left unturned. That's a rare quality these days. 👍
That’s cause no one can afford it!
A perfectionist is a parts cannon mechanic. A professional mechanic, like AMD, does the job by verifying the complaint, first.
Mr. Car Care Nut sounds exactly like Bob Ross but with cars. It's always a treat to watch him work his magic and paint new parts!
Brilliant comparison 💯
Done to perfection without ever losing your cool one time. I wish I could get through one service 😂 it's impressive. The guys he has working for him have an unbelievable teacher and mentor.

And the dealership doesn’t have a parts room full of parts to repair old vehicles. They operate on fast job turnover.
When you get an old Supra 4 years from now you will have this video to refresh your memory. You through your willingness to share knowledge you are doing a great service for mechanics and enthusiast's now and in the future. You are a good person in so many ways.
I’m getting one, I’m a 90’s kid and need a year model to represent myself 😅

AMD, This may be the "Gone With The Wind" of Mark 4 Supra repair videos. 🤩🤩
It's rare, and refreshing, to see a Supra video where the mechanic keeps it stock.
AMD has become the Bob Ross of car repair. Love this channel!
I can't believe I watched the whole video.
Don't have a Supra. But I enjoyed it, just seeing a conscientious mechanic at work.

Bro groans over that but automatic are still faster than manuals 😂

saw this motor in a race car at a NASCAR in ONT. raceway didn't realize they would do that. Just about 4 years ago.
Really fun to watch you work with such care and love. These cars are beautifully made.

I'd love to know where a pro mechanic like CCN will source the difficult stuff for cars of this vintage. Or, how much compromise will he make with aftermarket parts that might not be OEM grade?
I can't even get some things for my 2011 Venza, not that I want to keep that POS any longer than necessary.
I missed your video about the trans line trick. Knowing that, maybe I will replace my trans cooler lines knowing I can easily stop fluid loss
A set of hose pliers would be a good addition to your tool arsenal. They wrap around the hose making twisting and pulling hoses easier.
Love watching these types of videos. Just a mechanic going through the motion
Amazing skills. I had an 84, 87, 91 turbo and 94. The 91 turbo was my fave.
94TT owner since 2000. Sexiest car ever made IMO with a truly timeless design.
Nice work, I like it. Just an observation; you should’ve get one of the lights that you can strap it to your head. Every place you will look at, will be illuminated and have the advantage of using both hands to work. That’s what I have been using.
The man that won't quit is the man who is fulfilled.
Fantastic patience and mindset...enjoyed every minute.
Great stuff - had to make a second pot of coffee for this one.
Only thing missing is the garage stereo playing in the background & the usual swearing at the manufactures that accompanies such involved work.
I could watch this all day
The Car Whisperer. AMD lulls the parts into submission but can be aggressive when he needs to and catches the "parts" off guard!
your screw driver is your best friend as a mech.
One trick for pulling stuck on hoses is to use a trim removal tool to push out the end of the hose. The hose expands and lets go as its compresses against itself. Alternatively a hose grip pliers BDGPL411HGZ works excellent too.
Great video sir..I has a 1988 supra non turbo..took me 30min to replace just the water pump..it was lovely..lol
Many years ago I stripped down and removed a supra MK3 engine. I'm not a mechanic and my mates took a look at the parts and the wires everywhere and said thats never going back together. Well it took me a long time as I needed to have the crank reground and the head machined. Eventually I did put it ll back together. I cant say it was fun and 2 local garages refused to do it as they said it was too complicated and would be more than the car was worth. Anyway I got it running and it was good for several months until the head blew again. The MK3 is well known for blowing head gaskets especially if you increase the boost. I fixed the head again and then sold it. Lovely car to drive but it had to go.
Any dealership that would tell me they are not able to work on a car like that I would not let them even change my oil
Great video. Your methodical work and clear explanations are incredible to watch.
Genius amongst us.
Thank you. You're like a magician, not s simple mechanic.🎉
Nobody buy this car on 90s.. now everytime someone posting about supra the view will boommm 🎉
It would be nice to see a 2003 Lexus IS300 in great condition come in to your shop for a repair 🤔
Man, awesome video, I hope one day I get to see you walk through a cam tower reseal on a Toyota Tundra. Love this channel!
Regarding the trac ecu and most’90’s Denso/toyota ecu the capacitors tend to dry out and leak electrolyte on the PC board, if caught on time you can just replace them with new parts and your good to go
In an attempt to lighten the car for better fuel economy, Toyota removed the three bolts for the battery tray. 30 grams makes a big difference.
you need one of those reverse floor creepers that you lie down on your stomach so you can hover over the engine in relative comfort - hamstrings and back dont suffer
Old spark plugs work great for plugging up the trans lines too
got the same car that needs the same job you're motivating me to do the job myself
I see so few mechanics cover up the car prior to actually start working on it. First sign is a good sign :)
Aw man I wish that was my Supra! I'd be working on it at home DIY Thanks for the lengthy, in-depth video This legend is one of my favorite cars of ALL time
Still looking at cars, here's my take on it. Car fax is very helpful to eliminate cars that drove on salty roads and to monitor oil change info. Car Max, Vroom, Hertz and maybe Avis do their own certification. So you never know where its really from. Same with Auto dealers they certified it and the car history is wiped clean. Usually Certification has to be 85K miles 6 years old.
Some Honda's do another certification more time and miles silly I found out. So is certification really better than a good carfax?
Awesome video! I have never owned a Toyota, but I find myself watching your videos for the love of fixing cars. Carry on I appreciate your expert knowledge and honestly. Carry on! Jasonbear
