Sorry, was working on uploading what’s below, or above. Wherever this ends up. Lolso whats the question
i dont think so.Can a Toyota Master Tech miss all of this other stuff based on the service they did? I guess that's my question.
I'm about to ask them about it, just wanted to make sure that I wasn't wrong about how those issues should have been identified based on the services that were done.i dont think so.
the carfax only recorded the service item done by the time, most likely the PO might deny quite a lot of service items at the time, esp. if he/she decided to sell the car soon.
also if you ask recommended service items, the shop tends to give you quite a lot of items to service, some time it is not based on the inspection but based on your truck age. I dont think your inspection shop was even bothered to open the valve cover to check the status nor they saw leakage over there. they just thought it *should* change at this age of the vehicle.
you can ask the shop why they think the valve cover gaskets need to replace and photos evidence. Also ask them where is the location of the oil leakage.
Pretty sure they wanted to replace the rack because of the bellows being torn in pieces, the PS fluid leak, and not knowing if there were problems with the inner/outer tie-rods.no worries, a lot of those services look to be a bit high on the price. i would want to know why they were looking to replace the rack, it looks like new boots were installed and the old ones werent removed. 2900 for vcg is an absolutely asinine price for the job, unless their actually replacing the valve covers themselves. i would go and get a second opinion with those prices

Yeah, Gotcha. My issue is the fact that a Yota master tech couldn't find all of these issusboots, lines and tie rod ends can all be replaced no need for a rack replacement. if its actually leaking from the rack around the pinion or the lines that are on the rack then that would warrant a replacement
