In the extreme scenario, this could mean taking it all the way to court, but I would guess it rarely gets that far.

Even when the law is on your side, it's sometimes your own responsibiity to see that it's enforced.

You dont have to go to the same dealer you bought it from, either. A Toyota warrantee is a Toyota warrantee no matter which one you go to. Toyota still pays the dealers to do the work.

If you made some minor mods and your engine fails, if they try to claim voided warrantee, make sure that whoever you go to shows you exactly how and why.
