What to do with dealer service credit?
Long story short, my local Toyota dealership screwed up big time on some diagnostic work I had them perform. It was a clear mistake and they were great with resolving the issue; a $500 service credit for my troubles (no parts, I asked).

The problem is that I do most of my own maintenance. Any recommendations on how to use this credit? I thought maybe a tranny flush, but with over 200k miles on the truck, it may not be worth the risk. I have til the end of the year to use it.

Or see if they will install someone aftermarket headers for a reasonable rate. 500 could save you a lot of curse words and time. Your sig indicates you have the annoying tick.

Thanks for the suggestions. Timing belt makes sense, maybe radiator flush?
