Default VSC, Brake, Engine Light issue

Hey what's up guys,

I just took my GS300 to the dealership yesterday because the VSC, brake, and engine light all came on. I left the car there for them to diagnose and they said it wasn't the gas cap. I'm annoyed because I just had my car serviced less than 200 miles ago.

So here's the fun part. I get a call from the service advisor telling me there's a vehicle computer issue and they needed to update some sort of software inside the car so they can diagnose further. This "update" costs $150.

Anyone have any ideas? Am i getting taken?

My car did this a couple of weeks ago, I replace my battery and all the lights went away except the annoying "low tire pressure"
