Sleepless Nights

Best of luck.
I hope all works out.

Good luck indeed. I managed to blow a headlight fuse whilst buggering about under the bonnet once. I didn't have a spare, so I pulled the same rated one out of the air con, and put it in the headlights circuit. The missus was taking the car in to get serviced at Toyota Mackay the next day. I told her to get them to replace the a/c fuse, she translates that into women-speak, and tells them the a/c isn't working. When she picks the car up, she tells me "It's got to be back in next Thursday, and it'll cost $180 for a new air conditioner switch."
I told them they'd never see the car again, and strangely, a ten cent fuse from SuperCheap got the a/c working.

All their ads back in those days made much of their "factory trained technicians".

Hello David.
That doesn't sound good. Is it the actual technicians from TOYOTA or simply a mechanic in the dealers. BIG BIG difference in the ability to diagnose and the understanding of systems.
You didn't mention the actual problem which has caused you to be at the dealers. Can you elaborate with more info? It may be a simple fault which manifests itself as a large problem but really isn't. Unless the mechanic has a diagnostic ability to think outside the box, auto box in this case, and not simply a dude, drop the E if need be, who works there and claims diagnostic technicians status, the problem may not be found.

In '07 my ex wife bought a Corolla which had pedal sink from new, a simple problem. I complained and the TOYOTA TRAINED AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN came and explained why. He told me 5 different total utter BS stories as to why it didn't retain brake pedal height. I asked him if he had any idea as to how a brake system actually worked. He shrank away and got someone else who admitted they all do it from new, just have to retain enough pedal height for a certain time. This is different to a road worthy where pedal height has to be retained under pressure.

Maybe the auto isn't the problem but Toyota might take it out for you to check, if you let them! Some dealers know how their vehicles work, other dealers do not.
