Performance mods + warranty

[sqcomp]

Okay first of all...I'm on YOUR side when I say the following:

Deny

Delay

Defend

I have not had any warranty work done by Toyota. I can tell you dealing with Dodge...the dealers are the WORST sort of trick artists, highwaymen and general slime I have ever had the pleasure to fight with. Telling my story would take pages so I'll leave you with this thought, the M/M act is all fine and dandy BUT, the dealership is the one fixing the breakages, not the manufacturer. The dealership is a business and the dealerships are there to make as much profit as possible.

The dealership absolutely has the time to deny your warranty claim. You already know they have the money. They'll deny your claim, then you go to small claims court. They'll protract the issue out over an extended period of time. Then they'll defend their actions by generally claiming YOU as a fraud for putting non factory parts on the vehicle regardless of what the M/M act says. Why? Because they can. It's the right of the dealership to defend it's actions.

Now, saying all that, I want to re-iterate that I have NOT had ANY warranty issues or dealings with Toyota...However I have learned a lesson with my old vehicle, never mess with the engine of your daily driver!

What I'm saying is of course the WORST of the worst that can happen...but it HAS happened more frequently than not.

My moral is: BE CAREFUL WHEN MODDING YOUR CAR! You WILL pay to play.
