If transmission fluid needs to be black to qualify as dirty, than mine is not dirty. It looks pink. I don’t do any off-roading or towing. Grrrrr.
Thank you for the serpentine belt info. I would definitely rather change the belt before it breaks than roast in the desert. 60,000 miles sounds reasonable. I looked at the belt myself, realizing I can only see part of it, and could not see any cracks.
I am having some trust issues with these guys (Toyota dealer) and will be looking for a new place to have my car serviced. They also tried to tell me that to replace my cracked fog light assembly would take 1 hour of labor. I called another place and they said they would do the job and charge $15 for labor…not much to it, according to them! I have been a customer at the Toyota dealer for 16 years, buying and servicing my vehicles and it just aggravates me that I can’t believe a word they say.
Thanks. You have been very helpful!!
