A Desert Toyota Cautionary Tale: my old Toyota 4-Runner recently had its power-brake booster fail, and so I had it towed to Desert Toyota for service. After inspection, they informed me that the price for recently had its power-brake booster fail, and so I had it towed to Desert Toyota for service. After inspection, they informed me that the price for repair would be about $2000! This exorbitant amount was mostly due to the price they were charging for the part, over $1400. I said I was not willing to pay that much and asked if they could do the repair with an after-market, non-Toyota, part. They told me they could, but would not warranty the work in that case. I opted for that solution, since my vehicle was not safe to drive anywhere else. Well, their Parts Department "managed" to find me an after-market part for $778, a little more than half of the jacked-up price of the genuine Toyota part. I was not happy, but was pressed to get the vehicle fixed, and so had the repair completed with this less-exorbitantly priced part. I'm now very remorseful: a quick call to a nearby autoparts store found multiple boosters for my vehicle in stock at $379.99 each. Also, after a closer examination of my bill, I discovered that Desert Toyota charges a "credit card transaction fee," which in this case amounted to $30. I was never informed that I was being charged a fee to use my credit card, and if I had been, I would have made other arrangements. And on top of all of that, my bill included an hour of labor for replacing the master brake cylinder -- the master brake cylinder must be removed to replace the brake booster, and so no additional labor is required. I challenged this part of my bill and the hour's worth of labor was removed, but why do I have to have a little knowledge about vehicles to keep from being overcharged? I've been a Desert Toyota customer for over a decade, and have now concluded that I've been too trusting, and that, this last time at least, I was taken advantage of. Bottom line: anyone should be very watchful if they decide to do business with Desert Toyota. More
