While waiting for a car in service I was looking at the maintenance section of owner's manual for a Rav 4. Salesperson arrives and we discuss OCIs and he states that the oil changes must be done at the dealer! After a discussion he says, well they can be done elsewhere but must be done by an ASE certified technician for the warranty to be honored. I stated that I do my own and he said well, unless you are a certified technician your warranty will be voided. I asked if all of their techs were ASE certified and he said yes. I then went to service and asked them and of course they stated the oil change techs are not certified, too new on the job for them to spend money getting them trained. So, I sent them a nasty note about salespeople basically giving false info to customers as well as info on the Magnuson-Moss Act.
Service rep was interesting, said yea, sometimes the salespeople stretch the truth!!!!
