Dealerships have to make money too, but sometimes in the case of clutch replacements, minor adjustments need to be made after install for it to work/feel perfect, it's unfathomable every job is done perfectly the first time.
 
Sometimes followups aren't feasible when they might be billing you a set amount of hours but spent too much time already. From the feedback I mentioned before with my dealership install, I feel the same way about taking it back to them once my throwout is gone and I'm up for a new clutch.
In my case though this was all done when the car was still under lease, so I had no choice but to use the dealership for all servicing/parts replacement. Even when my power steering pump needed rebuilding I had to get it billed by the dealer who sent it off to a 3rd party.
 
Good to hear you are getting it sorted through the proper channels.

I'd say a good outcome Ethan!. Hope it is followed through for you mate. I usually get screwed by dealerships and workshops so I stick with who I know most of the time.

Hi guys,
will be back on the road tomorrow,
problem was, somebody torqyed the pressure plate down with a rattle gun, and warped the plate.

snapped on of my fly wheel dowels and mushroomed the others.

New kit going in tomorrow, and will be done CORRECTLY by a clutch SPECIALIST APPROVED BY EXEDY

so hopefully all will be sweet!

and i didnt pay a cent!

having worked in a toyota dealer ship, I saw everything from flywheels and pressure plates to spark plugs done with rattle guns. no suprise there honestly.

I have previously worked as a mechanic for 5 years and have done countless clutch replacements, never once have I used or even thought of using a torque wrench for flywheel bolts.
 
Nothing wrong with the rattle gun, just the user.

yeah, told Toyota, didn't want them to do it again, due to previous problems ive had with them, and their workshop.

So exedy are replacing it, ( 3rd party clutch specialist business who do all of their warranties)

Well not free, The service manager is poaying for the new clutch plus labour.
considerting last time it took 23 hours.. hes getting a better deal.

But, im not paying a thing.
And so I shouldn't have to. 3000kms that clutch did, with NO abuse and proper break in period was followed.

Yea unfortunately at dealerships its all rush rush time time money money no quality what so ever. but seriously common sense should prevail here because most of the time you cant afford to **** up at a dealership. If it was the mechanics first time through yea but seriously using a rattle gun on a pressure plate.... ****ing retarded.

Please tell me you at least checked them? with torque wrench or something? Also it was the pressure plate may I remind you that this is usually only torqued to something like 40nm or less depending on the pressure plate so using a rattle gun is ****ing overkill not to mention there is a sequence for them.

Dennis: nice quote there :)
