Mechanic reveals the only two car brands you should consider if buying a new car in 2025

A veteran mechanic has revealed the only two car brands you should consider if you want to buy a new car in 2025.

After years of working on a wide range of vehicles, he’s noticed a clear pattern.

According to him, only two brands stand out enough to recommend.

That is because these cars rarely, if ever, come to his shop needing unforeseen costly repairs, meaning owners are saving a lot of money.

Which brands stand out if you want a new car in 2025

“The two cars that you should buy in 2025 are any Honda or Toyota vehicles,” he said in a video.

“They are amazing. They have great reliability, quality control. And when we do see these vehicles in our shop, it’s just for general maintenance.”

His comments reflect years of experience inspecting, repairing, and maintaining everything from economy cars to high-end SUVs.

Across different models and price ranges, the cars that stand out most for long-term reliability are Honda and Toyota.

He said they show fewer warning lights, suffer from fewer electrical issues, and almost never require premature engine or transmission work.

Instead, most visits are for basic car maintenance such as brake pads, oil changes, or tire rotation.

That consistency, he said, makes a major difference in ownership costs.

In contrast, cars from other brands often return with failed sensors, worn-out electronics, and premature drivetrain problems.

His assessment aligns with broader market data. Reliability studies and ownership surveys have regularly placed Honda and Toyota near the top of the charts.

Their reputation is backed not only by customer feedback, but also by professionals who see the long-term consequences of poor manufacturing choices.

What new technology is doing to cars

The growing number of mechanical complaints and service visits in recent years may be linked to the rapid integration of new technology into modern cars.

Larger infotainment systems, advanced driver aids, and over-the-air software updates have become standard features, even in entry-level models.

These systems can introduce complexity that did not exist in older vehicles, and in some cases, that complexity may increase the likelihood of faults.

However, it is difficult to make a direct connection between high-tech interiors and long-term reliability.

Some vehicles with large digital dashboards and advanced software remain dependable. Others face persistent service issues.

What can be said, based on the mechanic’s experience, is that Toyota and Honda appear to be managing that balance effectively.

He said these brands tend to keep car maintenance straightforward and limit the kinds of technology that cause recurring problems.

From his workshop floor, that consistency has been hard to ignore.

The best new car in 2025, he said, is not necessarily the most advanced.
