Things that tick you off!

Copped a huge rock thrown up by a truck on the out-skirts of Broome on Sunday. Straight into the middle of the lower screen and within a couple of kilometres the cracks have fanned out and cover half the screen. Oh well, at least I get a free windshield each year.

What ticks me off you say????

Threads about what ticks me off generally..................:razz:

But seriously though, I hate people who drive with no understanding of the laws of physics or respect for other people

It was a plane half filled with poms... the problem in reality was nowhere near as bad as the whining that ensued.

166 pages (and counting) of "things that tick you off" later. I'm starting to realise we have more in common with the poms then we care to admit!

I'm sure there are lots of good alternatives out there. I reckon it would literally pay to shop around. Unless of course you wanted to buy some genuine Toyota accessories in which case you might have a bargaining chip....

If I did not have the factory extended warranty I would be, it's easier to bargain if any warranty issues arise and it's been serviced by Toyota from day dot.

I'm sure it's been said before but:
Dodgy Toyota workshops (as in don't know what they're doing)
People that think Prado's are just good to take the kids to school (although mine does do that as well, lol).

I feel your pain, just got hit with a $900 bill for the 80K service on a V6 Auto, 3 other dealers around here quoted between $1155 and $1245 for the same service. Most annoying thing is that it's only done 60K but by the months it's at the 4 year mark.

Quoted 1100 clams for the 160K (Major) for my V6 Grande. He asked if I wanted to book it in and I said that I would like to ring around for other prices first. They took $100 (10%) off in an instant if I reconsidered. (I'll get back to them...)

Was in local Toyota dealer today and they showed me photos of a 200 series with a detonated V8 diesel. Apparently, if you drive through the spinifex and clog the radiator and keep on driving despite the high temp warning light, the pistons melt and fall to bits.

While you are talking about workshops , had a young bloke come in with a great resume the other day , rang his former boss , great bloke he say's he is also captain of the local football team, all his references check out , so i offer him a job give him a contract to sign ,, guess what , turns out to be a no show , obviously the dole money is to high i think , when i ring him i got some mumbled excuse about cant get his tools into town
I told him not to bother

The interesting part is some dealers are quoting more for 80k services than 160k services, there's more on a 160k.
It must be annoying getting quotes on the same Toyota service, from Toyota dealerships & pricing so different.

I don't usually say this but I think about a grand for the 160k is reasonable for a dealer, especially if its petrol.
There is a lot of parts & fluids replaced (everything) & it all takes quite a bit of time to do properly.

Normally I can save people 40% off dealership servicing, but not as much on this one.

My 120 (2009 model) has just hit 80K! That said, the service will be bloody cheap. I expect around $200-$300. The next service will be at 81,000km for the normal 1,000km check of a new motor! Following that, comparing service costs will be very difficult as the new motor and balance of car issues will be out of sync..... Without war and peace, the motor blowed up, the dealer warranty is being honoured with no fuss and I am extremely grateful for the professional service received. Kind of lucky really because my lawyers are also lawyers for the dealer, and the dealer is a bigger client than me.....

I'm more than ticked off...I've just had my car keyed by some c*&^. The full length of the passenger door.
