Dealership or other for service?

Gunny and George work there in the parts department.

I was at Camelback a few weeks ago...as of then they weren't doing car washes anymore. They said they were limiting the exposure due to Covid. Service advisor told me they care about my health!

 

Lol. I only buy parts from them because they are close to me. They tried to bait and switch me when I was shopping for my ‘20 TRD OR and failed to tighten my oil drain plug on my ‘13 years ago. All dealerships can eat dicks.

 

Limiting exposure to covid by not doing car washing outside. Interesting take. Well it's part of my agreement so they can do it now or do it later but they'll do it.

 

I believe it's to limit the number of people inside your vehicle.
I believe the service advisor understood my position on that by the way I rolled my eyes and laughed at him!

 

Wondering what everyone's thoughts on a shop for steering rack/line and clutch would be? I'll be back there next month and will probably try to knock out these lingering items. Camelback? @ZUK ?, State48?

 

Only place to go is Leksfixit on Weber. Have my Taco and the wife's IS-F serviced there. And my Mazdaspeed 3 before then, but they only do Toyo/Lexus now.

 

Avondale Toyota service has been outstanding.

 

I let YotoPro's do an oil/filter change at 5,000 miles. Asked them to use the TRD Oil Filter and they didn't give me any shit about it.
They seem to know what they are doing over there.

Autonation in Tempe told me there was no such thing as a TRD Oil Filter...

 

There's a TRD specific oil filter?

 

PTR43-00081

High Performance Oil Filters incorporate state-of-the-art design and materials offering superior protection. The filter uses 3 plies of 100% synthetic glass/polyester blend filtration media that 98% efficient at 20 microns - that's smaller than pollen. Built with a heavy-duty pressure valve that allows oil flow during cold starts, a high temperature anti-drain back valve that retains oil in the filter to prevent dry starts, and a ported and polished backplate provides smooth oil inlet holes reducing oil restriction.

 

Yeah, for that price, I'll stick to the regular OEM filters and 5K changes

 

Riverview Toyota has some pretty solid guys.
