Assuming I want to keep all of the items, what are some solutions I can use to store these items neatly? What little hardware have you kept? Looking for insight as to what people are doing/how they are approaching this. Thanks in advance!
2020 RAV4 AWD. Recently went in to my nearest toyota dealership. I usually go to another one out of my way. One of the things I asked them to check was the condition of the transmission fluid. I ended up waiting in the lobby. I got a call a couple hours later letting me know I could wait to get the transmission serviced at 60k miles. It was currently at 52k. I am planning a long road trip in the next months so I didn’t want to worry about anything going wrong or needing correction, far away. I said ok. They said $389 for the service and I let the gentleman man know I previously got a quote for $289 and he said that it was for a drain and fill. We agreed the service would be for a drain and fill. This was over phone. I felt uneasy over the confirmation being over phone so I sent a confirmation text just in case. I was so focused on what I was working on in the lobby I did not think about how I never received a work order to sign, which coming to think of it some more I think is usually done at the other toyota dealership I go to. I get a text the vehicle is ready. I get a rundown of what was done. I go to sign the RO. When signing the RO for pickup I only looked at the totals to add them up without looking at the details (partly because of my sense of being under pressure to get out of the line so they can check other people out) Anyway. Today as I am filing it away I thought I would look into the packet they gave…They did a flush not a drain and replace/fill... How bad is this? I have never had the transmission fluid changed. Never towed or anything. The vehicle has driven well so far. Is there a way to check to see that the transmission is going to be good long term? I have heard you should only do drain and fills on transmissions so thats why I am worried.
I usually buy three to four of these each time I go to H-E-B. Due to the amount of items I buy each time I go, I usually store these on bottom of the cart. Its hard to get these big boys in and out of the bottom of the cart. (My body is stiff and not too strong) So I save time and discomfort by placing only one of these on the conveyor at checkout and letting the cashier know I have “3 (or how many I am buying) waters”. I have not noticed any discrepancies on the receipts I have happened to check, but aren’t checking them all each time for this. Today as I was checking out a manager looked in my direction weirdly, and I am wondering if it was about my checkout strategy. Is it common practice to do this for these waters? Or would the asset protection team looking at the cameras count this as stealing even though I am paying for them all each time? Does asset protection have the ability to check how many waters were purchased by me to clear me as I go? I have been hesitant to ask this but due to some videos I’ve seen online, I would rather be safe than sorry. Thanks in advance!
