[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 960440, member: 52972"] l1tech, So, what are the situations where you would charge for the diagnostics, and what situations would you NOT charged? Of course I do not expect anyone to work for nothing, but when a repair shop charges $90-$100 to read the diagnostic error codes I thinkt that is a bit high when someone can go to AutoZone and get a free diagnostic print out...which is what I did. Of course Toyota would not accept those diagnostic printouts but they did offer to not charge for the diagnostics if they did the repair, which I thought was fair. They even balked at my replacing a gas cap with a non-Toyota brand claiming that many of the aftermarket gas caps do not work and they would have to replace it before any testing was done??? What a load of BS that was...so I walked out. My new gas cap passed the State inspection without any problem. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
