I Haven’t Taken My Toyota to the Dealership for Service in 5 Years… How Much Did I Save?

In today's video, I’m breaking down everything I’ve learned after doing my own maintenance on my Toyota (2019 Tacoma) for the last 5 years--the real costs, the time commitment, the effort involved, and how it all compares to taking your truck to the dealership service center. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s worth doing your own maintenance, or you're just looking for a more honest breakdown of the DIY experience, I hope you'll find value from my experience! *Parts & Tools I Use* These parts are compatible with my 2019 Tacoma, along with quantities I use per service. Please verify fitment before purchasing!
