Ask why it needs to be changed... it SHOULD be good for like, forever. I will ask at work in the morning and let you know if it is normal, but it sounds to me like a problem occured and they don't want to pay for it themselves.

well, that doesnt make sense because a dealer will requisition toyota head office for the money to pay for the parts and the time of the tech....when they as YOU for money for something that SHOULD be covered under warranty, its putting money in their pocket...

$150 wouldnt even be enough to cover the cost of the throttle body

That's for sure. The dealer cost on a TB is $490 and the retail is $815.
