I received a message that the service manager called but that's all. I want him to respond to my email so I forwarded it and also expressed about being unhappy that it didn't pass the smog check again! - the reason I brought my car to them. (DMV decided to exempt after explaining what happened)

Another thing I emailed them about is charging me $230.00 for the mass air flow sensor then finding this (I use an aftermarket reusable air filter)

A dirty MAF sensor can cause rough idling or even a check engine light. The cleaning procedure is simple and inexpensive. Those owners who have installed a re-usable air filter (such as the TRD unit) will likely need this service sooner than others, since a small amount of the oil used on these filters is sucked in the intake tube and tends to coat the MAF sensor


I think I got suckered into buying something that could have just been cleaned. Yes, I did forget to wipe off any possible excess oil on the filter before installing it.

Also, I bought this 4runner as a certified used vehicle.
