Hello everybody! Good day to you and welcome back to the channel! Today we have a return customer to the channel…this 2015 Toyota Sienna people hauler miniature van. The customer received some EXPENSIVE estimates from the dealer for general maintenance and tune-up. They want a second opinion and today we are going to see if those recommendations were correct and if their price point fit those recommendations. Join us as we go over some of the line items from the estimate and see if our work compares with the dealer!

Lost me at narcicist. His wife is in his head bigtime. Unsubscribed. Fuckin idiot. lol
Good video. Keep up the good work..
23:56 Ray realises that the 'usual' parts tray wont be available in a few minutes ðŸ˜
You you know the difference between great mechanics? The ability to remember where you got and where it come from. mixed with multiple layers of Patience. Great job
Will the dealer tighten the spark plug like you did? Where is your torque wrench?
I have a 2006 Toyota Solara – 3.3 V6.
I have changed plugs and coil packs a couple of times. Removing and replacing that manifold and the rear bolts are a genuine PITA.
Great video, great job as usual!
Looks like rodent feces around those front coil locations!!??
Sales tax is regressive and hurts poor people while being insignificant to rich people. Rich people get rich using our shared roads, power grid, communications networks, and educated work force. They should pay their fair share, and that’s why income tax.
Why would a customer pay for a part that YOU BROKE?!?
This guy is a HACK 🙄
If engine is not misfiring then the spark plugs are still good and they can easy go another 100k this are irdium plugs
I never really have a buy in on what you say or talk about. To be honest, I’m just glad you do. That’s really the biggest draw you have for me personally. It’s so refreshing to hear what you have to talk about when there are so many people I would ignore. So thanks Ray. There’s a great deal going on during your videos, and I for one and very grateful for all you share
Haha, I also once broke a windshield and it was also a vw touareg but I indeed broke it on the underside there was a smale stone inside the rubber and when I placed the plastic back it cracked 30 min later the crack was already on the top of the windshield.
I simply pop the wires out of the plastic connectors and pop them into a new plastic housing. No soldering, cutting or heatshrink required. Just a tiny screwdriver.
I wished you change the valve cover gasket at the same time with the same hassle as replacing spark plugs in V6
Typical stealership trying to upsell. Wait. Did I just type what I was thinking¿ I enjoy your videos. But it’s the strangest thing. At the end of your videos. I’m getting smacked in the face. I don’t understand it. 😂
You such a good honest man, im moving, so you can be my mechanic 😊😊
I bought a 15 year old Honda from a first owner old lady who serviced her car at the Honda dealership every year for 15 years. She had only done 25000 miles. When I bought the car from her she gave me a big binder containing all the itemised receipts from 15 years of dealership "service". The dealer was at least honest in that they had not needlessly replaced parts, but they charged $450 annually for "service" that included only an oil change (engine only takes 3.8 litres of 5w30) and topping off the coolant. And indeed, a $2 crush washer. Meanwhile, when I got the car, there was still the original 15 year old tyres on it…
Never take your car to a dealership for repairs unless.
1. It's under warranty
2. Free maintenance until 25kmiles.
3. There is a recall.
4. You're the owner of the dealership.
You and the family â¤
a year late, but Narcs are the most mentally exhausting people in the world; for me personally, the bane of my existence.
Amazing videos, thanks for showing us the details
