Default Modifications and Dealer Service

Just want to let you all know that I went to the dealership today for 20,000 mile service for the 1st time with all of my mods. I said F it I'm not gonna remove anything... This includes "iffy" mods like the Injen Intake and Unichip. Dealer didn't say anything. In and out in an hour with fresh free oil change and tire rotation... Dealer is 355 Toyota Scion in Rockville, MD.

dealerships wont have an issue giving you service, especially your 5, 10, 15, 20k ect service

its only when your saying there is an issue with your vehicle they give you ____ about aftermarket.. such as CELs they go straight for intake/bolt ons, ride quality/shakiness they blame the wheels/tires/suspension aftermarket

My Toyota tech is a really good friend of mine from high school. He doesn't even mark down my mods. I guess he's suppose to but doesn't lol

Yeah I mean technically it is your car seeing as how you can buy it out at the end as long as you can return it to stock you're ok

Its a pain in the @$$ putting a car back to stock after modding. I always seem to break plastic clips, or strip some bolt installing the mods. Plus the feeling of the car stock after driving around with mods is really depressing.
