Suggestions before 36 month warranty ends in 3 weeks? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I wouldn't be so quick to bring a car in for a groping by any mechanic (dealership or otherwise). If nothing is wrong, then great.

In my experience (cause I'm picky and notice very minor details), every time I bring my car in for something, I either notice a minor scratch that I'd swear wasn't there before, or my A/C has been set to full blast, or that they really did a number in screwing with my seating position (even messing with the lumbar support).

And good luck if fasteners needed to be removed and put back. I've seen a 70%-90% rate of return for the various under carriage/fender fasteners. Yes, I actually look underneath my car to check.

Even if the car has free maintenance, I tend to do it myself. That way, I'll have no one to blame by myself.
