When I asked the Servco this question, they told me that they don't have any qualified techs to perform this install. However, you can take it elsewhere to have the SC installed but then you'd probably run into warranty issues.

That's what happened to me too. I just got off the phone with an old tech from Servco, who told me "no more qualified techs. What the heck?! Wonder if Toyota Maui can do the install. Maybe I can Super Ferry it over there to do the install.

That's a possibility - Talk with Servco here first and see if you're warranty would still be valid. Not sure about you but the warranty means everything to me...

If Toyota cannot have qualified techs to install it, I would talk to Toyota directly... seems they should either find someone for you, or you should be allowed in a special case senario to get it installed elsewhere for the same warranty at an approved shop by toyota?

You'd think that should be allowed, but if not, us Hawaii natives are in a lose/lose situation...

This is what Servco Honolulu told me. So you're gettin a SC installed at Windward? If so, what's the cost + install?

They don't know what they're talking about... I'm not having one installed at windward, I just know that the first one is getting installed today at the place in Sand Island. Quoted time was 10 hours...should be finished by lunch tomorrow.

Parts were $5875 (+ tax) for the supercharger and the Tundra fit kit, both are required for the install. Installation was 10 hours...I don't know if the labor rates are different at the different dealers but the one at Sand Island is $96/hr...
