Typical dealer

They kinda have you between a rock and a hard place when something expensive needs to be repaired.

the sales guys knew more about the car then the tecs did

those tecs just look at the shop manuals to work on the car so im not surprised to see things like this happen. most people know a lot about one type of car and thats about it.

there more interested in getting the car in and out as fast as possible

It depends on the garage, and the mechanics working there. I've seen very good mechanics at my dealer. (Brossard Toyota)

jambo: if you don't mind the drive. i HIGHLY recommand seeing Carole at Duval Toyota. Their mechanics are top notch, and know what they are doing.
Duval Toyota is also a sponsor for the Quebec Echo/Yaris forum.

I also recommend my dealer (Brossard Toyota), for having very good experience with them. My advisor, Alain Morissette, have better qualified mechanics than the others over there.

Going to another dealer for a second opinion would seem the prudent thing to do,but i'm unsure of how that works,is the new dealer going to just work on my car for an hour or more with no charge? why wouldnt he just tell me to go to the dealer i bought the car from?.
