    Probably the same amount that you paid for the extended warranty.

    Awright im glad my ac is working again
    Specially during summer time lol

    I drop off my truck monday morning
    They said theyll give me a call when they are done with diagnostic
    They called me around 230 pm
    Wtf why so freaking late?
    I drop it off in the morning
    So they said theres a leak of the ac line
    Etc.
    The parts is about 300 dollars
    But the labor is around 1,500
    Since theyll have to get the dashboard
    Out to get in to the ac?
    And theyll be done with your truck
    Wednesday

    Doesnt my truck warranty covers that?

    No sir your trucks warranty is over that

    I am.talking about my extended warranty
    I purchased an extended warranty when i bought my truck

    Oh ic i didnt see your sticker for your extended warranty

    I didnt wanna put that sticker on my truck

    Whered you purchased your truck sir

    Mapunapuna

    Ok sir ill call you back and ill check on our conputer

    15 min or so later

    Sir youre right you have the toyota exttended warranty
    Your warranty will cover everything

    Tuesday 12pm

    They already calling my truck is finished

    Does your truck look like they removed the dash??
    Maybe the leaks was actually a lose fitting in the engine bay? (Easy Fix)
    I never get the extended warranty
    But IIRC the guy told me that if I didn't use the warranty after the term, I would get most of it back?? Not sure if it still works that way?
    I guess the main thing is that your truck is all good!
