Since a few years, I was suspecting them to exaggerate mechanical problems with my Toyota Echo 2003… but I never had a chance to double check and let them do the job they were reporting… since today:
They reported the need to change a Ball Joint, Link Kits, the Coolant Pump & the rear pads… 1200$ ! I was very skeptical, so I asked my friend, my preferred Alignment Mechanic to double check. Here’s the diagnostic:
-ABSOLUTLY no problem with both Ball Joint!
-No problem with the Link Kits!
-Break pads will need to be changed… in 6 months… and half the price (The Alignment Mechanic will charge me 178$... the regular price to change Rear Pads & Drums… since Toyota Duval charges 150$ for a rear pad change only!)
He didn’t check the dripping Coolant Pump, as they are alignment specialists. Actually, I will check it out myself as I never saw any dripping from my car!
For sure, I will NEVER thrust Toyota Duval again!
