There are multiple dealerships. Sometimes you gotta drive. Definitely not worth passing on the most reliable car brand for. Or yeah do what you said, go Lexus. They’re still trying to make a buck but a lot less BS in my experience.

Just because they know the green bubble is a badge of shame I wouldn’t put it past them to keep Android replies as green even once this goes online.

How in the actual fuck do you still owe almost $50K on a vehicle that they only value at $23K for trade.

Time to switch dealerships for service. Wouldn’t hurt to send that to the service manager with the pic attached and put them on blast. To be fair, its probably the service manager that is implementing the bullshit replace brake pads at all costs policy but maybe you get something free out of it.
