They told me I needed new CV joints for both sides, even though the side
I'd done had only 15 miles on it, and the other side I jacked up the car
special and felt all over and it was like new. Plus they claimed I had
a large oil leak, even though 6 months later, I still needed less than a
1/4 quart. And other things they said I needed that I didn't.



You should not blame Toyota for your experience with a particular
Toyota dealer. They are not all necessarily the same, and even the
various departments at a single dealer are not necessarily the same.

In the town in which I live, there are two Toyota dealers. A number of
years ago, I went to one of them to get a price on a new Camry. The
salesman I dealt with was fine, but when I asked him to give me his
best price, he said he couldn't, and had to get his manager. I said OK
and his manager, a sleazeball, came to the table where my wife and I
were sitting and said "I hear you want our best price." I said yes,
and he said "about x thousand" (I don't remember the exact number). I
said I asked for your best price, not some "about" amount. He said "I
gave you our best price." I said "no you didn't," and I walked out. I
went to the other Toyota dealer and bought a car from them. I've
bought a couple of other Toyotas from that second dealer since then,
but I never went back to that first dealer again.

But that first Toyota dealer is nearer our home than the one I bought
from, so I've often used them for service. They've been fine for that.
