- We do a routine inspection for a 2005 Lexus LS430 but we find more problems on this Lexus than what it came in for which is a coolant leak and a timing belt job.
Folks we are trying out new style video for you today. I opened a new shop back in June and we service cars every day. If you are a regular viewer and you enjoy watching our day to day diagnosis and repair videos comment down below so we know that you're interested in the day to day videos and we'll film more of these videos.
This Lexus LS430 came in for a timing belt and motor mount replacement but it also has a coolant leak and noises coming from the engine. We diagnose the issues and inspect the car to see what else it needs and make recommendations to the owner.

I like this style of video. We get to see your diagnostic abilities in action and we get to see you actually "fix" the vehicle. I like it.
Double on that
Ditto.
Double ditto
Triple ditto
Quadruple ditto
Love your videos Brada. Actually a huge fan. Wish there's more mechanics like yourself that's honest and detail oriented. God bless you and da Family!
Really enjoyed this new style video! (Although I enjoy any of your videos) I especially liked seeing your diagnostic powers in action. Your ability to pinpoint issues just by seeing or hearing them is incredible. Awesome work!
Great Job, Keep them coming!
I like seeing the procedures you do to check out customer concerns and the general inspection. Show the issue, verifying the cause of the issue, and the fix.
The tone of your voice through-out this video ... this must have been one of the most calming auto repair videos I have ever seen. The Bob Ross of car repair - anything can happen in your Toyota World...
it's true
It's like car ASMR.
No happy little accidents possible here, though.
That is hilarious ! Bob Ross😂 then you got Scotty kilmer he can kind of make your head hurt..
Keep this style coming. They are helpful even for diyer doing routine checks etc.
I love this new format, more please! And only with a Lexus/Toyota will you ever here, "This vehicle only has 229,000 miles" 🙂
I don't care what style. When I open TH-cam, I want a TCCN video waiting to be watched. Also if you could mention the total costs of the jobs as you usually do please. Thank you.
All known common maintenance here! I've got an 02. Rebuilt my entire front end about 6 months ago. Did the Y-Pipe past the cats a couple years ago, if you have one of these cars and have not yet removed the shielding in that area, do so, water gets in and rots out the exhaust. I would not be happy with the job that was done on the exhaust if this were my LS. It's time for a Timing Belt and Valve Cover gaskets for me too; been wondering how tough a job valve covers will be. My radiator blew up in the exact same spot! I'm hoping I can get another 150k out of this car. :)
I've never owned a Toyota, but would consider a LS4xx to ad to my collection of 50 odd classic cars and teeruks, mostly 60s GM, a V12 BMW, a few MBs, a few older GM 6.2 & 6.5 diesels, a '91 Lebaron V6 5 speed, some 409 Chevys... All stored indoors, freezing, 1500 from where I'm working in Sunny South Florida
Very much enjoyed this style of video. That 430 is really pretty…well worth keeping it on the road. Silver or burgundy 430’s are so classy. Thanks for the fun!
Hi Ahmed, love the Toyota content. I've been an LS driver for almost 25 years and only 3 cars. Currently daily driving an '06 430. Quick question- How critical is the type of power steering fluid. Lexus calls for Dex III which is obviously outdated and hard to find. I like to steer clear of the "one size fits all ATF's (Valvoline MaxLife etc). Toyota sells Dex III but it's expensive... What do you use/recommend? Thank you.
Love this style and a nice addition to your content. I like the conclusion on what the customer went with and the type of parts you used! ❤ 🔥
I just replaced radiator on my RX350. Wish I would have known about this brand. You have taught me so much of things to look for and what happens if it goes bad. Like your formula on whether to fix or not. 🤞Hoping my Lexus outlasts me. That you for your knowledge, integrity, wisdom and for sharing with myself and all others in your TH-cam family. May God Shine His Favor On You AndYour Loved Ones. ✨
🎄🚘 Merry Christmas. 🕊️
I like this new version. Watching you during the test drive while you're trying to recognize the source of this or that noise shows experience and know-how.
Wow, how much fun that was to watch you go around the car in the beginning. I'm not a mechanic, but love cars and notice small, but nuanced, changed. I about fell off my chair when you first mentioned the windshield being aftermarket. Then the wheels, then the alternator. It was awesome to watch and tells me I am willing to drive to Chicago from Colorado to have you work on my 2016 Tacoma. Perhaps I'll take a week during my kiddos spring break. Thank you and I love this video, but also love watching you fix things
Make sure to plan ahead he’s usually booked at least a month in advance
@@Jantonvid Great advice. Thank you.
I may have to use: "AMD, I'm your greatest fan!" 😉
I know! I just bought a twelve-year-old LS 460; it's absolutely beautiful if it needed anyting I sure wish I had this guy to work on it😢
I remember these days. I wish the shops I worked at were this clean.
Have you ever considered conducting online automotive repair classes? You certainly have the ability.
I like this format AMD! Keep it up!
I like this style of video. I’m not very mechanically inclined by any means but seeing things and your explanation helps me better understand how things work and how to inspect.
Another Lexus owner here and I like this style of video showing how things hold up (or not) on real cars that are driven a lot (200k miles)
Like this style video. Keep this format.. very informative.
I wish you would have taken us along for the repairs also. Thanks
I do like these inspections on different Lexus models with varying mileage numbers…I own a 2015 ES350 with about 31,000 miles on it. thanks.
I'm five minutes in and I knew already at two minutes in it was going to be a pleasure. Smart of you there knowing the mic was going to be a problem being low and then cut to after it being moved. Of course Eros getting in could be a little smoother but that's neither here nor there. It will get better. Maybe pause until after he gets in. Customer likely changed the hood struts. The ES300 in the fleet of ours with your favorite 1MZ is falling down now when in the summer. One must wonder if the customer thinks the suspension noise is motor mounts or was told that. And now he will still have the problem after the change.. too bad.
1st view. Thank you for your hard work
Great video to see how you inspect a vehicle. Good Job!
Great video and love the style of recording your initial inspection. It would take me weeks to determine all the issues with this car and you've managed it in minutes, amazing work 😀 Wish I had a technician like you near me in UK. I owned a LS400 in 2005 for a while, it was LPG converted, 208,000 miles, beautiful engine. I sold it as I didn't have much money at the time and was afraid it would cost me big money. Wish I'd kept it 😬
I own a RX 330. I like seeing your inspections and your comment as to priorities, etc--Mikey in Belfair, Wa
AMD, Thanks for taking us along for the drive. I believe they call this a 'guerrilla-stye' video. I congratulate the owner for putting on a full set of winter tires but I would never risk genuine Lexus alloy rims in winter salt. 😁
I see/agree with u alot on here. What state do u reside?
@@riceburner4747 CANADA
Love videos AMD! I think I have watched most of them. Like the new style too. Does anyone know a car care nut in the southeast of England? I really need someone to look after my lovely RX400h.
Excellent video, as always. What kind of pocket flashlight do you use?
That Tesla graveyard😂😂😂
I like this style of video. Let's us see what the real life of a mechanic is. Sure looks cold out there ... brrr !
My favorite type of video. I noticed the Valvoline oil filter. Incredibly rust free for an 05 in the rust belt. Maybe next year or next service the other repairs can be done. Plus an oem pcv valve. Your shop is very nice.
As an Australian I can't believe the rust on some of your cars. We don't salt the roads here, no need.
AMD is going to have to duke it out with Scotty Kilmer for president of the Tesla Fan Club.
Love it! I could watch this all day
The shop is beautiful, spotless. It's like an operating room for automobiles. Thanks for the videos, you are the best out here. The videos have helped me with my old 2001 Lexus RX300 Silversport Edition .
Yes very nice video style.. In combination with the long ones as well... Thanks
He's just an all round nice guy and honest skilled mechanic. Deserves all the good word of mouth recommendations he gets!
the new video format is awesome, we can see the examination step by step
Absolutely love these type of videos so we get to see a master tech diagnose with his years of experience. Thank you and keep up the good work !
Tesla spare parts are a disaster. Yes they sit there because parts are backordered to eternity and have month of lead time that quickly turn into half a year.
Love your work Ahmed...God bless!
What is his Garage name and location?
I love it. I hope you do a video of the timing belt replacement! ❤
LOVING this style of video! Feels like I should be handing you tools/testing devices...and a cool (adult?) beverage.
It's nice to see the outside of your shop.
Wonderful video. I have 05 SC-430 pebble beach, 86,000 miles. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL car. Turned me on to Lexus. Watched a lot of your videos before purchasing car spring of 21. THANKS for you sharing your incredible knowledge.
Love this style of video. Nice work and keep the videos coming!!
Putting new motor mounts before a new or used uncracked windshield. That makes total sense.
Thank you very much for all your videos. All of your videos are very informative, but these ones are better due to the content and information.
Thanks for showing another great LS430. I recently purchased my first Lexus, 03 LS 430 ❤️ it.
But has a number of small problems. I’m trying to DIY myself.. please do more older LS430’s. Thank you
Keep this style of video. We get to enjoy your knowledge and experience fixing vehicles
Both video styles are excellent but is great to see the test drive.
Hey Ahmed, I'm loving your new style of the video. We get to see more of the inside scoop/technical in depth details of the process and the vehicle itself along with your great commentary as usual. Love your channel since day 1. Keep up the excellent work buddy! 👍
Interesting! Glad you included what the owner wanted fixed.
AMD what make and model is your pen light ? Love this style vid as well .
Thanks for all you do as I'm an ES 350 owner
This style of video is very interesting. That's how we did it at the shop where I slaved.
I just waited for you to say : "nothing loose here" aka car wizard. Lol👍☺
Thanks for your videos very informative and helpful looking forward on the next . I also own a Lexus LS 430 . I live in California and it's been hard to find Lexus Shops that's reputable and honest. Thank you again.
Very good under car inspection. Just wondering if you put a reader on it to pick up other problems.
Cheers,
Lee
I enjoy your videos. I like this style video too. However, you really need to get some studio lights on stands and stop using the flashlight. The flashlight burns out the video so we can't see what you're pointing the flashlight at.
Thanks! GREAT to SEE the BIG Picture and hear your narrative. Most appreciative that you have a camera person to help "enlighten" us as YOU do your thing. "Overview" shots of your shop ... and the local area ... are interesting, entertaining and educational.
As for "other" things, perhaps the owner is confusing that "CAT Noise" with "motor mount"?
And that cracked windshield? hmmm. I do a lot of DIY / Preventive Maintenance work on my 2003 RX300. BUT I also have work that I either want or need to send to a shop. e.g. Windshield & suspension items like shocks wheel bearings and tires, etc.
I am happy to pay people like you ... and I also have empathy for the honest and competent mechanics out there who do good work. Problem is the owners who are less than forthcoming or honest and who force (usually poorly-trained) "mechanics" to play "BEAT-THE-CLOCK to make a living.
Some indicators are ... as you pointed out ... zip ties and wrong fasteners and "Shortcuts" all over the place on those bottom covers. Since YOU own the shop, AND YOU specialize in Toyota / Lexus Vehicles ... YOU are able and motivated to keep things like "custom fasteners" in stock and at hand.
And last, but not least: I commend you for the Radiator / Timing belt savings for your customer! I would bet that the AVERAGE dealer or typical shop owner would charge "full boat" for that radiator replacement; most non-diyers would have no idea of the "overcharge" for the "extra labor" for that exploded radiator.
I like this kind of video. The more the better. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas!
Good style of video. Love my high milage LS430 and I think you would happy with how pampered and over maintained it is. Thanks for posting, I always learn something watching your videos.
Definitely like the new style. Its a more raw look without the editing and we get too see it in a more "real time" way. Thumbs up!
Interesting to see the 16 inch wheels fit on the 430 which are normally 17inch ,will make a difference to the mph readings .
My 02 LS has 16 in wheels. I like it.
And, Great style video, keep them coming, include some wrench time
Love this video. Different from others and really shows how you inspect the cars
I like the new style, it gives us a chance to see how you work though stuff. Keep up the good work.
I like your hands on videos. Even if it's just minor repairs.
Cheapskate customer should have fixed the ball joint
Definitely more of these videos. Loving this
I too have one of these.
Out of all modern cars, it feels the most like an old big Benz.
The car feels weighty and has that satisfying silky feel like the controls and movement are on ball bearings damped in oil.
I had to change the radiator and chose the Denso as its surprisingly inexpensive.
There’s also a choice of radiator. Towing or non-towing.
I had visions that the towing radiator is mounted on a U haul.
How do these old Lexus feel going down the road compared to other more modern cars? granted that the suspension components are in good shape of course :)
Really like hearing about what the customer decided on the recommended services. It gives the video a nice completion feeling. It's kind of like watching a show that you get to see the beginning middle and end.
Really liked the new video style. Your attention to detail is on point!
I enjoyed it because it’s very real and unscripted. It’s like they Sid in the movies “It’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get”.
I love this kind of video, it really put everything together for me as you go through your inspections. Greatly appreciated the contents learn something new every time I watched and keeping me informed on what needs to be checked and changed before it breaks. Thank you brother and may God bless you and your family...Merry Christmas!
I had a leaky radiator on my IS300 when I first got it, replace it with a car quest brand, less than a month the upper tank started leaking, took it off got a refund, got a denso first time fit radiator no issues with it currently.😌
You drove right by the Snap On truck and never missed a beat. You have more self control than me. I enjoyed this style of video where we see some of the day to day stuff.
You are mechanic artist, a role model. I once owned Lexus. But I am driving MB these days.
Yes really like this video would like to see more keep up the great work 👍🏻
Really liked this style of video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Toyota /Lexus automobiles, I have a 2017 RX350 and hopefully you can share with us DIY 🔧 guys some of the problems that we need to be aware of as the vehicles age. Thank you again and keep up the good work.😊
Ill second the DIY features. We need more of them.
Love the video format, made me aware of issues I have to address on my own LS430 just from the audio alone 👍
Love this style of video on the LS 430. We can get a look at the common failure points on the cars. Very informative. Keep them going thank you.
Actually it's a useful style of video. Can learn a lot
Great video i run a 2003 lexus gs430 sport 80.000miles still going as new had 6 RX450H 3LS400 BIG FAN OF THE BRAND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK REGARDS ALEX LONDON UK
Maintaining our "fleet" of Corollas (2020, 2008 and daughter's 2007) I like the idea of watching pre repair inspection.
BTW, Yesterday I was unable to open the trunk on our 2008, the lock was rotate and driver's side lever had no tension on it. Figured it was corrosion here in NH but just for fun checked out TH-cam videos. Turns out the problem was valet mode and a few squirts of WD40 into the lock fixed the problem. No need to pop the rear seats and crawl into the trunk.
Great work, love the channel.
I enjoy these style videos job shadowing a Nut
Good content ❤
I like the video! I bought new a 2003 Camry (2AZFE) 301K miles that I wish you could service/maintain for me. It’s super-special to me.
I LIKE this video style. We get to see your technique and hear the WHY behind your analysis. The followup at the end of the video informs us of the customers choices. The comments about the muffler were informative also. NICE SHOP too.
I have the lexus ls430 2001 with 370,000 miles original engine and transmission. Original starter and alternator. I had the radiator replaced at 250000 miles. Replaced the timing belt pulleys serpentine belt spark plugs waterpump thermostat every 100,000 miles. Mechanic all say my lexus will go pass 500,000 miles easy with regular maintenance.
I love this style of inspection video, please do them 3x per day!!
Thanks for the info on the LS.I like those because there very quiet but you had mentioned that this car was more noisey than some other cars.Also the format of the video is nice because it's done more from a technician's perspective.
I got a 03' LS430 Has 490,000 miles on it. Still runs strong good power still. Have done alternator, valve cover gaskets, coil pack, plugs, power steering reservoir, knock sensors, cats, starter, and motor mounts. Runs great has a couple oil leaks need fixing but other than that i dont c it not making it another 400k miles yeee best car ever
Do you recommend going with a Denso radiator which I assume is factory, correct me if I’m wrong please, or are there any aftermarket radiators you could recommend?
I currently have a 2018 highlander 2.7L that has a leaking radiator as well. Thank you sir ahead of time for any information. 😊
Hi AMD, I'm Nigerian and I was thinking if I could come to the states to be a mechanic. And then come back to Nigeria and start something similar to what you do. I don't have much ideas about cars except from what I watch on the internet. Please can you be of help. And I'm just about to graduate from the University here .
I like your usual style a lot, but this was great and interesting too. A day in the life so to speak. I'm sure there are some interesting diagnoses/problems that us non-mechanics get to see, as well as being great insight for aspiring mechanics to see what the job is like. Whatever you like doing and are happy doing, it will go over well with the audience.
Love ur live videos i get very excited seeing u work on cars,does bring back memories of the old days when wk.on field heavy duty machines.Keep up the good job,ur the best,very honest,transparent n informative. God bless you n family.
This format is a WINNER!
Introduction to vehicle, Drive and analys, Inspection and tally.
This is the best for those of us with similar vehicles...
Loved the TESLA graveyard that is where those glorified kit cars belong!
