moral of this is if you dont talk to there master tech you will pay for a service they dont offer.
But im not getting a coolant drain and fill. They are flushing the trans fluid.

Oh and btw i never got a call this morning.. just called and the guy didnt know anything about it just that it says not finished. Nice.

Im hoping its just wheel balance but it might be a suspension part gone bad

I also need the rear diff fluid changed (I supply fluid)

Trans fluid has never been flushed (140k) thinking about having that done.

Also a check engine for P0430.

How much do you think they will rape me at the dealership?
Wont be that bad, toyota uses lube, lexus dosen't.

Ended up getting quoted $4500 to replace the whole exhaust I believe or maybe just the cats. Yeah that wont be happening. The P0430 hasnt even come back on.

Trans fluid was flushed, diff fluid changed, wheels balanced, and tire stem replaced. Also they repaired #4 ignition wire that was causing a P1315.

Car runs great and no more vibration

Was going to be almost $400 but since I had to wait almost 4 days they knocked it down to just under $300.
