Dealership Recommendation For Warranty/Service?
 
Anyone have any toyota/scion dealership they recommend for warranty/service nearby San Francisco? My original dealership is City Toyota, but I feel like they are just joyriding/flooring my car every time I go there for warranty work. They added 10 miles to my car just from "testing" the transmission as I complained to them about the gears getting harder to shift into.

Eh, usually they don't joy ride them, given when I worked at Toyota we did that with the PDI / new car inspection. When you have transmission issue we have to drive a certain amount, so 10 miles is semi expected..

10 miles from about outer sunset of San Francisco(near the zoo) to downtown of San Francisco. That's way beyond than what's expected. I'm not saying that you are wrong, but I am pretty sure she was joyrided/floored. Car went to the dealership overnight with a little over a quarter of gas. Got it back and the light turned on right as I left the dealership (this will be around 1/8 when it comes on for me). With that amount of gas, I could usually drive to school and back for a whole week before it actually comes on (start up -> 2miles to school -> turn off & vice versa so total is 4 miles each day) with gear shifting around 2.5-3.5k. I always fill up around $10 or ~2.5 gallons right after the light turns on which brings the car where it was when I dropped it off at the dealership. There's no way my car will only have added 10 miles and a lose of around 2-3 gallons of gas in my opinion.
