I think that if the Techs were given training they would be eager to help out. I overheard one guy saying that they're not getting training on older vehicles. That doesn't make sense to me but ok....They also don't want to work on older trucks when it gets down to it...

The Service manager acted like my mileage was like ready for the heap.

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..
