Makes me recall the time they told me they'd need the car for a couple days, but wouldn't give me a rental in the mean time. That can tell you how much they wanted to help me.

I have a friend that works at a Toyota Dealership over summers, he said for stuff like TCM or ECU flashes like the TSB we had to deal with they don't make any money the labor charge isn't really reimbursed by Toyota. That's why for all of us involved with the TSB it was a pain in the ass , especially for those of us with issues not included in the TSB i.e screwed up rev matching. Stingy dealerships suck and I can totally understand people wanting to avoid dealerships now, but the problem is widespread with other manufacturers as well. One day when dealerships are more like Tesla and not a franchise, it will be way less common.
