My car started have these symptoms about a week ago. I took it into the dealership, after they looked into it, they called and said the car need the engine torn apart to look what's wrong. Because the car was supercharged at one point, they said I have to pay to have it torn down ($1500-$1800). After going to the dealer to discuss further, the advisor tells me no mechanics that worked on the car are there and the manager is out. He has the manager call me later today.

The manager from RPB Toyota basically said that Toyota asked him to tear down the motor and see where the problem is. He said it's probably going to be under warranty but because it's been supercharged he can't guarantee that it'll be covered until it's teared down. Which means I may have to pay $1500-$1800.

He did say that he's seen two cars with this problem and both were fixed under warranty.

He said the car needs a new short block.. First time they told me exactly what it needs/is wrong with it.

How can I force Toyota to agree to do it under warranty? I know that it wasn't cause by the supercharger but that they are just using that as an excuse.
