I just got my FRS back, total bill was $11,602. The CEL code was 895011, They told me no. 3 rod went bad so they had to rebuild my engine instead of replacing it with a new engine which costs $6500. They replaced the short block, ECU, VVT, values, lifters and both cylinder heads. The cause of my engine failing was due to the VVT gears stuck causing timing to over advance. Fortunately I had a 7 year Toyota extended warranty to cover all work.
