I like the way the service department at this dealership treats me. It's a quest to find car repair that will treat me with respect -- please assume I know how a four-stroke engine works.
If I had a garage full of tools and disposal capabilities, I'd probably become Ron Swanson. I know that a timing chain is a better buy for AWD and 4WD. My dad has a Prius and my mom has a 4Runner (she lives in AK). If Prius was available in AWD I'd be all over it. Til then, RAV4 is *perfect* for hilly/rainy/occasionally snowy/flee-the-city-for-mountain passes/stupid rotary-loving/pothole-and-oilslick-ridden Seattle. I am not kind to my car but it can handle it. I am #brandloyal.
...at least until I can hire a private driver...
I have an old man winter RAV4, that, because of the old gate design, tends to loosen, rattle, and throw code because Seattle streets are not your friend. I have a bottle of WD40 that any Alaskan worth her salt has an obligation to keep on hand to handle the lower-tier noises but I feel peace knowing that Toyota in SoDo has my back. There was a tech who tried to be Captain Salt on one of my last visits but I busted that crust by asking if I could ride the lift. I appreciate all the staff here because A) I foolishly tend to call when I'm hypoglycemic -- hungry me tends to ask dumb questions and B) these folks have to put up with the local human element that literally THROWS BRICKS AT THEIR WINDOWS yet still maintain grace and composure for their customers. Respect.
