Hence why it's just best to pick up the bolts and do it yourself. The more you know about the Yaris the less you need to rely on others to fix it.

That's what I'm more than likely going todo. I do all my own work anyway. I just wanted to have some satisfaction as to proving it to the dealer that I was correct with this issue, and also Toyota. I was thinking of getting a new Tundra down the road but not now......

What about a reliable low cost independent shop? Friends who could recommend one? I bought the bolts and had such a shop do mine and it was under $30.00 IIRC...might have even been under $20.00. I've had them do other little things like clean the rear brakes along with adjusting the parking break, etc. They are just insanely inexpensive. They've been in business since 1973 and have two locations. When I think "expensive metros where the cost of everything is 'driven up'...", I think the West Coast, the Northeast, and South Florida....not Texas or NE Ohio .
