This right there is why ppl hate stealerships

[Kar98]

Went to get my recall work (spiral cable, seat rails) done, and they gave my car a "multi point inspection."

This is what they said they've found wrong with it:



And this is how much they said they'd charge to fix it:



Oh no, that all sounds important, but I'm sure they had a good look and I can trust them, right?

Well lets have a look at the bits I can easily check and verify:

Filled washer fluid to proper level:

Bone-dry.


Adjusted tire pressure to 36 psi:



Serpentine belt cracked/damaged:



I'm half tempted to get a brake fluid spindle and check that too. As far as the "running rough" goes? Bullcrap. I had cars that run rough. I've had cars that were quieter inside, but those weren't Yarisses.

I'll accept that maybe the brake fluid, and MT fluid could be changed, and based on mileage, a new serpentine belt might not be a bad idea one of these days, but going by what they said is wrong with my car and the work they said they did, for all I know the recall work wasn't done either and all they did was run it through the car wash and sprayed some tire shine on the wheels.

When I get it done, I sure as hell won't have Toyota of Grapevine do it.
