Why does it take Toyota an hour for an oil change?

Amazing.................. hate to complain on here but I've been sitting here for over an hour. People in front of me called..... Killing me. Happens everytime. I don't care about the 19.99 oil changes for life, my 30-40 minutes they suck from me are worth more. Done coming here and the way service has treated me the last 3-4 times I've been here I have no plans to buy another vehicle here.
Pluis when I hop out of the car and they tell me to wait to see if there are any "more" open recalls on the vehicle.... Sorry if grumpy today, probably from spending the day in Ann Arbor today listening to all that propaganda...

1) why the fuck did you buy a Toyota?
2) why the fuck would you go to a dealership for an oil change?

Gotta agree with all the other posts in here. Buying Toyota is just a stupid thing to do. I better never see you complaining about the economy on here because its people that buy toyotas that helped ruin it.

They probably had to secretly install a whole new braking system. They're tricky like that.
Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.

Toyota (and other japanese auto companies) are notorious for secret recalls, that is what got them in trouble with the feds. They never want to admit to a problem publicly, so they fix it on the sly. I hope your car stopped for you on the way home.

Part of their dealership service department marketing plan. They go through their check list (brakes, fluids, tires battery, etc) so you feel all warm and fuzzy about how much they care. The other is so they can nail you down to make appointment(s) for the 30K/60K scheduled maintenance.
That's where they make their money. If you are a road warrior driving 30K-40K a year with a lot of highway miles you don't need that brake job as soon as Suzy Homemaker in her kid hauliing grocery getter. But that'snot going to stop them from convincing you to slavishly stay to their maintenance schedule.
I have never gone back to a dealership service department unless it was to replace a part due to an official recall. Just save your receipts from a qualified certified mechanic and your warranty is still valid.

If you think going to a dealership is giving you peace of mind you are trusting your dealership way too much. As Ilovebeer posted Japanese (especially Toyota) are notorious for unofficial recalls where they replace parts without ever telling you until the car is on the hoist.
The place I go to in GR plus another where I know the owner get a dozen dealer mechanics calling them monthly wanting to leave. Not all are top notch
You don't often pay much less but you also don't get work until its needed. If you want to pay more its your privledge.
