A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician discusses Induction service and Injector cleaning service. Is it a SCAM or is it LEGIT and when you should and shouldn't do it.
In this video we're covering a dealership's favorite. The Induction service! Many folks go to the dealership and pay a lot for this service and most of them have no idea if it's a legit service or they've just gotten ripped off so in this video we will cover that.
We'll take a look at a Toyota Camry that the owner wanted an induction service but in the engine We've decided not to do it because it was not needed as you'll see in this video

I'm in Cali and have yet to find a mechanic with this knowledge and skill let alone ethics. I absolutely dread taking my Lexus even for an oil change. They use bulk oil and lie saying it's Castrol or Mobil ......They supply cheap filters unless you bring your own in which case they charge the same amount. I'm tempted to drive to Illinois if I ever need anything major.....that's how bad it is here.

Ahmed, you hit the nail on the head ! You will make more money in the long run by being honest. Not only will that owner return again and again but he will tell everyone he knows about the honest professional he brings his car to. God bless you for the way you treat others. On a side note I'm so impressed that you find time to post videos while you are so busy starting the new business. I know you will be blessed with the success you deserve. 👍👍

The unfortunate thing is many people will skip the needed services even if you're honest about the unneeded services. People will cut out oil changes because nothing seems wrong. I don't work on cars but I'm a physician and patients will ignore procedures and treatments because they don't see the immediate dangers.

Word of mouth is still the best marketing and mechanics like Ahmed will always win out in the end because of customer retention.

Thank you for this very educational, practical, and interesting lesson. I'd bet some of us are thinking, "You are our Car Care Hero." I have previously worked in a customer service business in which being honest with customers was something I had to be careful about concealing from management to avoid jeopardizing my job. Truly honest technicians can be hard to find - even when they would like to be honest, but are pressured to "up-sell."

I guess I'd have to agree, but it would be nice if there were just a *little* more honesty and cooperation.

You are such an amazing person, especially being so honest with your customers. If I lived close to where you will be opening up your shop I would definitely be bring my Tacoma to get it serviced at your shop. It is too bad that I live about 1,000 miles away. I like your analogy of how a combustion chamber is suppose to look. I think of it as the same way as to looking at the bottom of a skillet. I use a natural gas stove to cook on and the bottom of the skillet over time collects carbon deposits on it and I can still read the manufacturer's name on my skillets and even though those carbon deposits are on the bottom of the skillet it still isn't enough of a build up to bother with the heat transfer needed to cook food on it. If there was a lot of carbon deposits on the bottom a skillet as some point it would interfere with that heat transfer. I really wish there were mechanics like you with honesty and integrity. May God bless you and your family.

My 2020 RAV4 gets a lot of "around town" driving. Then I put it on the freeway, cruise control on, 70 mph for several miles, then drive it back at the same speed. Not only the combustion chambers, but the PCV system, engine oil, trans fluid and more get good and hot and helps to eliminate the moisture that gets into those fluids. The next time it's driven, it's like a young kid full of energy instead of an old person who can't move well. Also, that very slight tip-in hesitation is gone! The vehicle has "less than" 9000 miles. Not a typo! And yes I'm retired 6 years now but still work on my own vehicles. I may do overkill on preventative maintenance, but the proof is in the vehicles operation. They run great! More important. "You take care of and maintain your vehicle, it'll take care of you!" Thank you for this video. Hope the new building is coming along well!

Another great honest video from you AMD. I was starting to have a problem with my car not wanting to start well on hot restarts when it got to 100,000 miles. I thought maybe one of the fuel injectors was going bad and leaking but instead I had them cleaned and voila, problem solved, the car ran great afterwards. Ironically about 30,000 miles later I was in the same shop and they recommended I get the injectors cleaned. I asked the same one word question you mentioned. "Why?" Their answer was "well based on your mileage, etc" I said "But the car runs great, no thanks" and they didn't push the issue.

It's sad to say as it's so rare to find someone so honest/humble like yourself. I surely would love for you to move close by so I could use you as my mechanic! Since you don't live close by, thank you so much for your videos. You have educated me on so much going through your videos. You mentioned that customer will come back again and again for that car's service. Something else that customer will do is tell so many of their friends/family about this incredibly honest mechanic who talked him OUT OF doing an induction service as well as drive belt replacement. That alone will produce more revenue in the longterm! I love it!

I bought the scope you used in this video, WOW! It was great not just for checking my pistons and valves, but also for finding/retrieving bolts that I dropped, AND the best usage I had for it so far- checking that the injectors were seated well and not leaking fuel when I started the engine back up, since you can't see the ones in the back when the plenum is installed. Last thing I want is a gas fire on my new (new to me) Highlander, having peace of mind that they aren't leaking when I am driving my family in this car- PRICELESS!

Thank you for your honesty and clarity. The dealer needs to recommend to grandpa or grandma to do a good old fashioned diy "Italian Tune Up" on the way to church every Sunday and then they won't need the induction service, is what it sounds like to me! :-)

In an import shop where I was the service writer, we used BG Induction service. We recommend that cleaning every 25-30,000 miles along with an oil change and a can of 44K EFI cleaner. This method cleaned the injectors, but also cleaning the combustion chamber and induction (air intake and throttle body) areas. City driving and idling DOES add more varnish/sludge to the engine area where as city driving keeps that to a bare minimal. We would suggest for people to taking a 40-60 minute drive on the interstate to heat up the engine and blow out the cobwebs once a month. City miles cut the life of an engine by at least 1/2. Great posting again AMD!

City driving does not half the life of an engine. We have city driving Priuses as Taxis or Ubers doing 500,000km and the engine is still original.

Thanks for the informative video AMD. As an owner of a new vehicle with direct injection I had yet to develop a strategy around this service, but this video helps a lot.

Wonderful video. What a lot of mechanics never understand; treat the customer honestly, you make less money in the very short term; however the customer will return, and the customer will tell his friends and you'll have more customers. Soon you will have more work than you can handle

Thanks for another excellent video, AMD. I wish this video would have been our a month ago - I finally gave in and let my dealer’s service department perform this service on my 3UR-FE last month. My LC has 70k miles, and they’ve been on me for the past 3 services to get it done…and I finally agreed. With no borescope evidence of carbon build-up or anything. And I drive a fair amount every day. So, what I’ve learned, is next time they ask, ask for them to show me evidence of carbon build-up…only then will I agree to do this.

I wish like you said there were more technicians out there like you👍 Hard to find people to work on your car you can trust. I still use Toyota dealer for most of the work done on my Tundra and they have been honest with me. I do have enough knowledge to understand most things but with all the technology nowadays there is a lot I don’t know. One of the reasons I love your channel always learn something.

By far the best explation of what carbon build up is and why to let an engine warm up! Also great policy and I do really apercate that stance! As for me I live in North east Florida where my nayborhood entrance is on a 40MPH road and the distances are large enough the the outside temp hot enough that the engine stays warm... So good to know I won't get high levels crabon build up.

Thank you for this video it was helpful. My wife takes her 2010 Corolla to the dealer and they keep recommending the fuel injector cleaning service. I do not see it in the Toyota maintenance book that was provided with the car. It was helpful to know when you might need this service done. Thanks for being honest and agree with your point at the end of your video. I wish there was more people like you that were honest in what service needs to be done.
