He said that he will oil up the brake lines underneath since he is worried about rust and corrosion causing other elements like this to fail in the coming year. He said he can't practically sand down the frame underneath where there is rust already.
does all this sound crazy? He said to bring the car in later for the 110k check up to the dealer, but he doesn't think it needs a timing belt or water pump.

is this an actual toyota dealership your taking it too. they are full of it. you can not put fiberglass on your diff. theres no way. and the lil exhuast leak yeah no fumes will get in your cabin. just makes a lil noise. sanding the undercarage. bunch of bull that would take so much time. at the dealership i used to work at the undercarrage coating kills the rust 25.00 dollars a bottle takes maybe 2 bottles for the saq. and timming belt does need to be done. i dont want to see another member get shafted like this.
