Just had the J02 recall work done on my 2013 FRS at Northridge Toyota in SFV.
1. How long did the repair take?
Apparently it took a month+ to get the parts to the dealer, at which point I brought the car in. It took 3 weeks for the work (1 week to set the timing?). I have another car so no rush, told them to take their time and do it right.
2. Was a courtesy car provided for the duration of the repair?
Courtesy car was offered but I had no need for it.
3. What other parts were replaced with no additional labor (spark plug, etc)?
Spark plugs, radiator hoses, oil filter, replaced oil, some gasket ("Gasket, 16x21x2.3") all replaced with no labor costs.
4. What other parts were replaced with additional labor?
none
5. Was the dealer mod-friendly?
I have OpenFlash ECU mod and they didn't mention it or re-flash to stock. They took my OBD2 dongle off the car so they probably plugged in and noticed the ECU mod.
6. Did they know what they were doing?
Nothing seems amiss so far and the car is running great a few hours after getting it back. They didn't do a great job of setting accurate expectations of when the car would be ready but the experience with them in general was good.
Note: Northridge Toyota warranties the J02 recall work for 1 year.
