Actually I think between the questioning of their diagnostic machines
ability to not isolate an issue but only give a general area to look
in, I did question if they stood by their work, after a short pause he
replied "of course Ma'am" I wasn't convinced:)

I have a 2000 RAV4 and though I am happy with it's performance the
check engine light keeps coming on. I bought the car used in the
summer of 2004, in September of that year the light came on for the
first time. I took it to Toyota (Atrell) and they charged me over
$500 to replace a valve. In November 2005 the light came on again,
then again in January 2006. At that time I took it back to Toyota
(service) and had the Knock sensor replaced for over $700, two
nights ago the light came on again. It's only been 5 months since I
took it in and had it fixed. When I called the service department at
Toyota they told me that their diagnostic system could only give a
range to look in and not a specific part to fix. So my question is
if they don't know exactly what they need to fix to turn the light
out why did they replace those two very expensive parts in the first
place and how often is the light going to come on??
When the check engine light comes on, the diagnostic code tells the
technician what components to check or test.
And, check or test doesn't equate to replace and charge. Ask the dealership
if they warrantee their work.
