For every one forum member there must be hundreds or thousands of Toyota owners.
So we are, and aren't, hearing a subset of a subset, and only hearing the negative stories.
Of the many occupations I've had, I was a mechanic. I was always conscientious that my work, my craft, affected the lives of thousands. But I also know that not everyone takes pride in their work. I have seen that in all of the fields I have worked in and been a consumer of.
That said, I do as much of my own vehicle maintenance as possible.
"Man bites dog" is a headline. "Dog bites man" isn't even a story (unless currently it was a pitbull)

I hear ya. It can happen anywhere. I have confidence in the dealer I deal with based on years of use. Service guy I deal with always takes me back to show me the issue if one exists. You just have to develop a good relationship with the service folks regardless if dealer or not.
For example, I had my dealer install my front hitch receiver and the mechanic came out and said he did not have a torque wrench to properly torque bolts. Loaned me a vehicle to go get my wrench.
