Ok. So after owning my 6GC for about a year with a few issues. The Big Rollover is fast approaching.
So I took my car to Performance Toyota. All I was going to do was the timing belt and water pump. They called and it was one of those phone calls you don't want to here, There were like "Hey do you have a minute. I was like great, let me guess." They told me a few things that needed some attention and I was like how much am I looking at.....Fearing the worst, I actually am surprised. I requested to see the car. They happily agreed. And I did look at it to may sure it wasn't a (Stealership manuever) They are indeed leaking. So most of the seals are shot, and I am not savy enough to replace them so I am letting them do it. Almost all the Oil seals on the front are leaking, one quite aggressively, I just really didn't notice because it was puddling in the Splash shield/skid plate under the car. Here is what the are replacing. Timing Belt (Belt, Tensioner, ETC.) Water Pump (Seals, Bearings, ETC.) Front Seals (Main Seal, along with others) All Belts (Serpentine and Accessory) Valve Cover Gasket Oil Change All for just 430 and change. That is labor and parts included. Is this fair, or am I getting Stealershiped? |

yup, that is a totally acceptable price for parts and labor for that job.
actually, that price would be the "discounted price" they run. most dealers get ~300 just for the timing belt job. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
