    Anyone have good/bad experiences with Santa Cruz Toyota?

    The Taco got hit with the fuel pump recall.

    Thanks.

    oil bottle left inside engine after oil change- rubbed and bounced around in fan area
    had new grill installed after collision with Turkey- asked that they save old grill so I could keep the Toyota emblem- got home and found emblem had been removed/stolen by tech had to go back and call them on that to get it back from them
    and they never wash it when they said they would
    so yea typical dealership stuff
    wont be taking it back there anytime for anything

    Oh what a feeling

    I recommend that you - get the recall done and just be sure to secure your stuff- as with any dealership just stay on top of what you want done and things should be fine. I am sure that you should be fine:fingerscrossed:

    Solid advice. When you get truck back, do what you can to glance over their work

    I'm going with did not replace crush washer. Cause if they had, it wouldn't be leaking.

    I just overheard someone talking about SCT. Said the dealership changed hands not long ago. I guess the same people that own the Subaru dealership now own the Toyota dealership.

    That would explain the mixed reviews.
