This sucks

[yrsdrgn]

apparently some lady called when i wasn't home and told my mom that an estimated price for the fixture would be in the ballpark number of $500 or more. No more information was given since the lady said that the car wasn't under my moms name.....so I'm waiting for their call and i'll update this post ><

2nd opinion right now is that it might have been to the fact that i disconnected the BuddyClub grounding kit on the car but I don't see how that would affect the car in that bad of a way

[Kaotic Lazagna]

yeah, i don't either when it wasn't on the car to begin with.

anytime you take a car into the dealerships to repair.. know that you are going to be ripped off.

i called them they said it had something to do with the air filter being on the car........i think that's total bull dude............then the lady said she'll cal me back in two minutes cuz she had a "customer" and now it's over 20 minutes and still no call back........WTF man.........i'm sorry but i have to say that this toyota dealership sucks with customer service...i've called them about three times today all with the answer "can i call you back?"
This is really pissing me off and I want my car back............><

Yea I know. but I can't really do much about it because I'm pretty damn sure it's under warranty (all i have on it is an autostart alarm and a fcking air filter......those should not be making the transmission work funny at all)

where did you take it ? SF Toyota ? usaully they will do anything for ya .. I'm suprised you didn't get a loner from them .. Hmmm I know those guys real well I bought 5 cars from them.. but they do have a small shop & they are building a much bigger one soon .. but still ya should have gotten a loaner from them

they didnt offer a loaner to me. i really want to call back right now and see why da fck they saying the estimated cost of repair is $500!!!!!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

if you're old enough to rent a car, then they'll offer you a loaner. i couldn't get one, but Toyota Vallejo did offer me one.

[yrsdrgn]

haha yea i doubt i'm old enough. i think minimum age for rental is 25yrs old.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

yeah, i think that's what they told me.

[yrsdrgn]

Well I just called again (sorry I'm very impatient when it comes to people saying "i'll call you back in a few minutes okay?") and the lady said that she'll call back in a little bit.........
me car car ><

[Kaotic Lazagna]

ask them why they keep telling you that.

because they're "dealing with customers" or "the service techs are busy at the moment"

some states, you can have a rental if you're 21.. but I Think it'll be a bit of a higher rate or something.

haha nice.

Well apparently my MAF sensor is now corrupt and has to be replaced >< WTF?!?!?! O_O so I have to bring in my original air box and have that re-installed (time labor....argh) and get a replacement MAF sensor for $265>< Hopefully those jerks don't jack up the "time" cost so that the total for it all is $500 or I kill them...... haha not literally but that's just my catch phrase that I tend to use a lot lol.

that's why i went with TRD CAI & had my local dealer install it ..cause then if something fu*ks up they can't blame the mod cause they installed it ..I'm not touching the engine/electrical for other mods till i get to 30G miles & off the warrenty

haha smart move. I'll probably run things stock for a long time now at the current moment......and that's actually my only "mod" just a nicer air filter >< and now i can't even run that..........how sad. I hope it doesn't cost that much tomorrow when I drop by with my stock air filter box....

[yrsdrgn]

Okay, well i received a call from the service department. They replaced my MAF sensor and re-installed the original air box but they said that something else is wrong with the car...........they've had it for a week now and that's all that's been done to it...........sorta sad..........
