I was surprised that the initial cost estimate for the body work needed to repair the rear-end collision my car suffered was so far off from the final cost. The estimate was only about half of what the i More

I apologize for any misunderstanding. The CF5 is a fuel additive that is added straight into the gas tank which does not have a smell to it. We do a fuel induction service to the combustion chamber, valves and cleans the intake of built-up carbon from unburned gas. This has a smell to it in which we did not do at last visit. We did the Cf5 additive only. The tires when I looked at the MPI (multi point inspect) all read the same as in tire depth. I will gladly relook at the tires and rotate at no charge to your satisfaction. Steve Kane Service Manager Lia Toyota of Colonie (518) 374-3700 Ext 2223

All the time I’ve been smelling fuel now you telling instead of putting CF5 you did Fuel Induction? Right? so now you are telling me that you perform a service to my car that I did not approve right? Since you started this 5K service I have always done that and now I know that all this time the CF5 was never performed on my car except you performed Fuel Induction! Is that Right? Unbelievable dealership! I took my car to NORTHWAY TOYOTA recently and they told me the tires are not wearing the same. Front at 5/32, and rear are at 6/32. You told me all are at 6/32 which is not true. And it is not difficult to see that they not wearing even. No Thanks for the offer because I have no plans of bringing my car to your dealership ever again!
