If you do a search you will see Toyota dealerships are far from the top in
dealer service

All you do is try to attack other posters.

Who said anything about dealerships or dealer service?

If you do a search you will discover all vehicle manufactures warrant their
vehicles to their DEALERSHIPS, not the purchaser.

I don't know where you got that idea, which is patently false.

Ya right! READ you warranty manual or try taking YOUR car to an
independent shop or a different brand dealership for warranty service, if
that is what you believe LOL

Warranties for any product are provided by the manufacturer or an authorized
repair station. That includes vacuum cleaners, TV's, computers, etc.

I don't know where you got the idea that independent repair shop for any
product will repair something under warranty unless they are an authorized
repair station.

If you believe that then take you car Toyota to the Maytag repairman. LOL

Can you take a Maytag to a Toyota Dealer to get it repaired under warranty?
You are way out in left field on this one.

A manufacturer warranty offered to a consumer does not obligate the
manufacturer to allow anyone to fix it. But you can take a Toyota under
warranty to any Toyota dealer and get it repaired.

You are missing the point the auto manufacturers warrant the vehicle to the
DEALERSHIPS, not the purchaser.

READ your warranty policy manual!!!

Yes, I got hit in the face with that with my first Toyota.

I was in a job that kept moving me, and at each service interval I was in a
different community with a different dealer. Each one wanted me to take it
back to where I bought it to have it serviced, even the regular routine
maintenance. But 'tis true, all of them were also GM dealers. And driving
it back to where I bought it wasn't possible at that time with the job I had
then. But this was back in 1979-1981.
