Ripped off by Toyota?

At least do the brakes yourself and save alittle money, its not hard.

 

This. Also, next time just offer free beer and bbq to the TW brothers, I bet a bunch of them will show up and be glad to help you out. Glad you called the stealership and told them to stuck it. I hate dealershits.

 

This is the reason I am not allowed back to one dealershit. Guy was quoted 2100 to replace the struts on his Prius and a 200 dollar sensor. The guy looked at me panicked when he heard the price. He asked me what he should do.... I told him to get his keys and run out of there. Service manager caught wind of it, had my truck pulled from the service bay and threw me out. I was there for spiral cable recall on my 2nd gen. This was on veterans day too.

 

Basturds.

 

Where you located at OP? Plenty of folks on here that are willing to help

 

I wouldn’t call it ripped off. You probably were given an estimate and you agreed to the price and allowed them to do the work.

So.. not a rip off. Just a mistake (of yours).

 

Scottsdale Arizona

 

I hated going there anyway. Time before that I went in for the rear diff leaking. They kept the truck 3 days.... had to order gasket..... next day oh, we forgot to order diff oil.
They gave me a free oil change for the delay.... I went back to get that and they forgot my oil cap. Called me and asked if I could come back under the ruse of they need info for the diff warranty they did a few weeks prior. I told them no I couldn't do it.... they hung up and 15 minutes later I got a call with the real story.... they asked if i could come back so they could put it on I told them no.... you forgot to put it on, your mechanic can just drive over to me and put it on.... I dont want to drive it like that. 1/2 hour later the tech showed up and reinstalled...

 

Check the regional section, AZ has it's own section. Lol

 

WTF, when the tech showed up I think my dog would have took a bite out of his ass. I used to go to the dealership until I saw one of the techs and I was blown away, dude looked like he been on crack. Eyes all bugged out, teeth all rotten, I was like WTF, you worked on my truck? Never again. They just shit all over our rigs.

 

Geez word of someone getting screwed like a huge square peg in a tiny round hole and you show up?!
I like your style!!!!!

 

That's prolly when I worked there.

 

Just FYI, it’s a prerequisite to be insane to work on cars for a living. And If you get easily offended by bad words, don’t hang around a service department.

 

Sorry to say you got screwed,next time ask here first and then do the labor yourself.

 

Lots of Dealer horror stories on here, - and elsewhere, but this probably happened at some point in your story.

 

I bought tools and had some willed to me but I am a tight sob! I won't pay anyone to work on my vehicles or equipment. I will learn one of two ways, first Murphy's law or by a manual. Read read read, it's the best way to prove what you need to solve.

 

OP agreed to the fees twice.

Once for the estimate and once for the payment.

Dealer: permission to fuck you sir?
OP: absolutely! Call me when you’re finished so I can pay you!

 

Noticed that too. How's the nor Cal BS. I guess I can look bout I'm smashed and it's raining like a Bitch and we have 73 mph winds I'm almost done with the first fifth of Jamison and first twelve SN Porters. Should have come a bit farther north and have a great time .

 

Head on over to the AZ BS 5.0 thread.....

 

It’s easy for people with tools, space, and know-how to say “just do it yourself”. Simple installs and maintenance can go wrong if you are not certain of what you’re doing.

Still, I would ask for a very direct break down of parts/labor and compare to another independent shop. That price is high for the services you described.

Everyone on here will tell you you’re getting taken no matter how much you spend unless it’s $0.

Learn to do whatever you can on your own. Step outside of your comfort zone. Also, be honest with what you are capable of. Watch YouTube videos while you work if you have to. I’ve taken a years worth of automotive classes, but you won’t catch me rebuilding my diff.
