2013 4Runner SR5 Suppository

See what I did there..

 

At the worst dealership ever, but it's the most convenient.

Ain't that a bitch.

 

No official diagnosis yet but seems my bearings in one pulley are fuckered.

They tried to charge me $150 for diagnosis. I walked down to sales and queried my salesman (internet sales manager), who then patched me into the used car manager, who then walked me back to service dept. and verbal'd my service writer that he's authorizing no cost diagnostic.

Still under powertrain warranty.

Hoping they don't try and dick me around, more.. again.. still.


Freeman Toyota fucking sucks, knew that going in. Just reminding everyone else.



Old curmudgeon told me bearings don't like water and water up to the motor is bad. He must think I'm a hardcore wheeler.

 

Getting that noise looked at? (at least I think I remember there was a noise from the engine)

 

I'm too slow. That's really shitty though.

 

Yup.

2 months after purchase.





On the fun side, the service dept has had 4 Tacoma owners call in the 15 minutes I've been sitting in earshot, all third gen, all complaining about hard downshifting.

Service guys are asking people if they've owned Toyota trucks previously, and suggesting maybe they're not used to how they drive. Then jerking them off about how they're doing the right thing by making note of it and paying such close attention, and being "thorough owners," and that it's normal and should go away.

 

Ridiculous.

 

That sounds like a really stand-up dealer

 

They're scumbags.

Been scumbags for years and legit the worst dealer I've ever experienced. But they're closest to home, the next one is 25 minutes drive away and not at all convenient with my schedule these days.


I bought it here, so that's the only reason they're seeing it today. I should have some pull with them, which so far has saved me $150. Not a bad trade off, but once this is done I definitely won't come back.

 

I would do the same thing if I were you since you bought it there, otherwise they can kick rocks. Fingers crossed after this snafu it's smooth sailing. Wouldn't want to have to change your name again.

 

I think I need washer fluid.

 

Would.

Also PowerWagonFTMFW if I hit the lottery.

 

Do I need to check my sheets??

 

From the lower shelf.

 

Word.

Getting my free diagnosis. If they want to charge me for the repair then I'll order the pulley online and do it myself.

 

Or ZR2FTMFW. Themz is sexy.

 

Too small.
