Nope. Never offroading. Never muddy. It's a family car.

It's not a dealership, but I definitely think they might be pushing "recommended service." A lot of what you say makes sense.

Thanks. That's another concern. I don't want to have to argue with them to get my car back.

That's what I was worried about. Yeah, stuff breaks. I just want to make sure. Wife drives the car 95% of the time, and she said earlier, she's never driven over anything or hit any curbs or anything.

For what I see in the recommended services for 60,000 miles is "replace the spark plugs at the 72-month or 60,000-mile mark" and to "start inspecting the drive belts for signs of wear. Then, continue to inspect them every 15,000 miles." Nothing about all this other stuff.

It's a Toyota Highlander. No, I haven't been able to have a conversation with them. I called to check on it at 5 pm, and they said they were still putting together the estimate. Then, I got a text shortly before 6, and when I showed up, no one was there to talk to me about it, and the guy in the after-hours couldn't release it.
Yeah, I don't know. My wife drives the car 95% of the time, and she's never mentioned hitting anything.

I was curious about this. A buddy who knows more than I do told me he didn't think most of this stuff should have been even checked.

Thank you. I appreciate your thoughtful and well-reasoned response. I will talk to them in the morning to see if there is real justification for this. Thanks!
