I let you in a secret. Only the bosses in the dealerships know what's going on. Sadly, a plie of techs are just turning wrenches.
For example what happened to me years ago.
I even signed a paper leaving my gas pedal alone in my 2009 Tocoma as there was a recall, and the fix was to cut a 1/4 off the bottom.
It was in for another recall, and they cut my pedal off. I was livid, to say the least. They didn't bother to check notes or nothing.
See, it's all about $$. They get $$ for the recalls.
Even though I requested they didn't do that. They did it the next time it
was in there.
Granted, they did offer to buy me a replacement gas pedal.
But I didn't have them change it because they cut it off again thrj charge Toyota a 2nd time on the same truck.
I lost my faith in dealers a long time ago.
I am sure there are a pile of good techs that work in dealers. I don't doubt that. It's just sad that I can do a better job, and I work on my own rigs..
