$2200 of Unnecessary Work I have a 2009 Highlander Hybrid and after hearing some grinding noises when turning the steering wheel I took my car to my non Toyota mechanic. He adv I have a 2009 Highlander Hybrid and after hearing some grinding noises when turning the steering wheel I took my car to my non Toyota mechanic. He advised me that the steering rack needed to be replaced. I then called Toyota Scarborough and spoke to Gord De Castro (Service Manager) who provided me a price of @ $2200 for parts & labour, plus tax, to replace the steering rack and that I would need to pre-pay the part (@$1500). I pre-paid the part and brought in my vehicle the next day. That next day I was called and notified that the steering shaft had been replaced but that the shaft assembly was the problem and that that part would cost me an additional $732 plus labour & tax. When I picked up the car I spoke to the mechanic and he advised me that he didn't see anything wrong with the steering shaft but that he went through with the work order as that's what he was advised to do. The mechanic added that having been a Toyota mechanic for so many years, almost always the problem is with the shaft assembly and not the steering rack. So based on that expertise why did Toyota Scarborough not check what needed to be done before commencing work on the steering rack? Or perhaps the mechanic did communicate that the steering rack didn't need to be replaced but he was told to continue with the work. Either way, not everything appears above board and certainly not working in the best interests of the customer. Yes, it was me that advised Gord that my non-Toyota mechanic advised me to have the steering rack replaced, but isn't the obvious or appropriate customer service action to first verify the recommendation of an unknown mechanic? Even with the part already ordered, surely the part could have been returned free of charge (based on Toyota Scarborough's purchasing leverage) or at worst, with a re-stocking fee that I would have gladly paid. Instead, I'm out @ $2500 for work that was not required. I spoke to Gord before leaving with my serviced vehicle and he said nothing could be done. Based on this poor and questionable integrity customer service experience, I can't recommend nor do I feel comfortable returning to Toyota Scarborough. More
