BTW, didn't realize you have a chardonnay pearl! The first one I've seen so far! How do you like it? My salesperson says he has never seen one at the dealership.

I was told that cars in for service get ES usually, SUV in for service gets RX, although I can sometimes choose. Once when my old GS went in for extended stay, i was given a 3GS. And yes, at Longo, one of the west coasts biggest dealers, you need an appt for a loaner.

Yang- You made my day. I wanted either the black or red or white or even silver, but they only had the gold in stock so I got it. Its a "safe" color I think. Police tend to think of it as a Granny color than a sporty color. lol

Btw, picked up my car. All the Service consultant says to me is next time I should get a loaner. Like no f(*&%^ing S$#T. You guys told me I would be fine in making the appointment, and all you did was an oil change?? I brought my car in the night before! Oh but we washed your car. At least your rims don't have break dust. ... Oh you don't know how much I wanted to yell when he said that. All I said is you don't know how far it is for me to get here. My other car is the baby mover. A Sienna van that gets 15mpg. Its 20miles one way. That means 2x to the dealership and I waisted 160miles. At 15mpg@3.20 for regular gas thats around $35 of gas and you know what its like to drive into town at 4:30 in the afternoon?? He didn't say anything after that.

I got a call at 3:30pm. They changed the brake pads and thats all, they need to keep my car in service for another day. This would mean they would've needed 3 days to fixe my car. 1st day to do an oil change, 2nd day to replace the brakes. Man they are slow.

Car is done. I need to pic it up. Took them 3 days to do:
5k oil change
Fix the gas door to close better
Replaced the drivers side seat belt assembly so the seatbelt wouldnt lockup for no reason.
re-angled my lights

They could NOT fix the radio reception in the car. They said the radio is ok and reception can differ from one car to the next. This sounded bogus to me, considering the STOCK es radio in the loaner they gave me can pull in stations (granted, not all static free) lower than 93.9.

Got the car back. Angled lights look wrong but maybe its just me. Breaking is the same so I'm happy. I'll wait a few days and see if theres brake dust. Radio still sounds the same. Shoot forgot to the the gas door. Read the recipt/. something about a spacer...
