Sadly no. I haven't found a dealership that "gets it". Everytime I have brought my FRS for an issue; weather stripping squeak, HPFP chirping, turning off DRL's I have been forced to convince the service tech of these issues. Every symptom that is explained has been met w/ a dismissive attitude ie "we have never had people complain about this" / "I've never heard of this issue" [for the HPFP], "thats not possible" [to turn off DRL's + turn off annoying honk when you lock car], "don't go around looking for issues" [when I mentioned the window squeak during rainy weather].

I feel most of the enthusiasts are on the sales floor anyways and don't work in the service department. In my experience, majority of service tech's aren't knowledgeable about the cars they are servicing and def. not "enthusiast's". Honestly, it's hard to be enthusiastic if you are selling/servicing toyotas. I would expect more of the staff to be "enthusiasts" at a Porsche, Corvette dealership though.
