    My timing cover is leaking, but I’ve had two bad experiences with my local dealer (Berkeley / Albany Toyota) not covering a leaking 3rd brake light and battery. Hilltop in Richmond was recommended and I have an appointment there next week, but looking for a backup in case they deny the repair. I’m at 34,700 mi but have platinum 100k warranty.

    Anyone had good luck with getting this covered? Which dealer?

    Hilltop Toyota repair my 3rd break light sometime in November of last year. No issues with water leak. They took a couple of days and gave me a rental while my truck was in the shop. Hope that helps. GL.
