I got my first free Syn oil change on my Toyotacare plan today. Its a 2022 with 9461 miles and its 9 months old. At least 6-7K are long hwy miles, 800 mi round trips. I wasnt worried about the 10K service interval cuz in Europe they only change oil once a year and people who send used oil to...

i know what I'd buy Nokian Rotiiva AT from Simple Tire

Really? how would a gas cap cause shifting out of P and starting issues? I didnt say Check Engine light

Service dept just called, it is supposed to be a faulty brake sensor switch that apparently is on the same warning circuit as the other malfunction warnings. Also causes related issues with shifting out of Park and starting with keyless start button.

Best all around tires I ever purchased for my 4runner were Nokian Rotiiva AT. I drove hwy, gravel, towed and drove in snow and ice and never had a problem.

No Heat My sons 2010 Corolla's heat would go out. After a reverse flush, "stop leak" or a similar product was found. Worked for 2 years then , it stopped working again. Another reverse flush and its been good for 18 months. I think a tire dealer mechanic put it in there when he wouldnt buy all...

just got mine done I took it to the dealer in October and the dash came in the end of November. The dealer put it in. I had to take it back because the glove compartment wouldnt open. They fixed that stating that the old screws that they were supposed to use didnt grab. They also replaced a...
