Since I don't use dealerships very often, I tend to forget how outrageous their prices are.
I took my Sequoia to the local Toyota dealership for the Takata air bag recall. A job that should have been done in NC before I bought the truck.
But anyway, they gave the Sequoia a "courtesy inspection." Just to keep score, it was inspected in NC in May when we bought it. It was inspected again when we moved back to NH. So yesterday at the dealership makes inspection #3 for 2017.
As you can imagine, there was not much left to find wrong.
But they did manage to find a license plate bulb out.
After they did the airbag fix, they mentioned I had a bulb out.
I did not mean to laugh out loud, but when they told me they would be happy to replace the bulb for $26 I did laugh... loudly.
$26 for parts and labor to replace a #168 bulb. I happen to have a couple of those bulbs in my tool box. It took me longer to dig the bulb and a screwdriver out of my toolbox then it did to replace it.
And I didn't charge myself anything!
Anyone else have any outrageous dealership stories?
