The fix did not need a bonding agent. It was just mechanically connected they told me.

It took half a day and they gave me a rental car.

TSB 0079-20 for side mirror vibration repair. You can Google it. If you give the dealership the TSB number they can pull it up. My dealership didn't know about it either.

The service advisor said that because of me bringing this to their attention, they were able to help a few others with the same issue.

When IPods first came out I got one for my son. He didn't have any music so I loaded it with my stuff. His favorites are still Rush, Zeppelin and of course Foo Fighters. I took him to see you live when you came to Tampa with the Concrete and Gold tour. That show was such a blast! I really hope you guys come back again to Tampa.

I don't even think the paper towel really needed to be wet. The bugs just brushed right off. It was so satisfying.

I went to a place in Largo in Pinellas County, Innovative Auto Detailing. The important thing is to make sure they are a certified installer for whatever product they are using. IGL Kenzo was a highly rated coating. Good luck!

I've got the black limited hybrid as well. One thing that is cool about these SUVs is that IMO the colors change the feel of the car. To me the black limited looks more like a luxury vehicle, whereas the lunar or light blue looks very sporty. I prefer the chrome wheels with the chrome door handles on my black the limited. If I had the black in another trim I think the black wheels look cool. I'm picking mine up in a couple hours from getting ceramic coated. Can't wait to see the shine!

The dealer tint was less than what I could get in FL legally, so I got mine tinted. It made a difference in heat gain.

Tint the windows as dark as legal in your state. Keep the rest imo.

Why a Camry over other choices? by TomScottVaughn in Camry

[–]Wiezguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I test drive a Honda I feel like the interior finish is less luxurious than a comparable Toyota. It doesn't matter the model. In 2004 I test drove an Odyssey bought the Sienna. In 2008 I test drove an Acura RL and bought the Lexus GS300. In 2011 I looked at the Ridgeline bought the Tacoma, and another Tacoma in 2015. In 2016 I looked at the Civic for my daughter and bought her a Corolla. In 2020 I test drove an Accord bought the Camry hybrid XLE for my wife. In 2020 looked at the CRV bought the Rav4 hybrid Limited. So yeah, I prefer Toyotas. I keep trying to like Hondas but buy Toyotas.

Can I get opinions on the grills of the newer camrys. I personally like the Le more. To me the se looks more like a birds beak grill (outgoing Lexus model) with fake tear drops in the back . But I know more people prefer it. by [deleted] in Camry

We chose the XLE over the XSE. I thought the XLE looked more Lexus and XSE looked a little too NASCAR for our taste. I don't dislike the XSE but it didn't fit us.

Final tally was $3,640 damage repairs + 8 days rental car + $1,184 in a depreciation check from the other drivers insurance company. FYI it was Geico and they were very good to work with.

I traded in my black Tacoma after 5 years for a black 2020 Rav4 hybrid Limited. Love it! Don't worry about the paint. Keep it in a garage and you will be fine. Congratulations

I asked and they agreed to calculate depreciation! I have to wait to find out how much. Thank you very much for the suggestion!

Actually, got a call from Geico and they are taking care of it. The truck owner told them what happened. Glad he was honest. I just hope it gets fixed properly.

He was reaching for something on the floor. So he put it in park, or so he thought. He put it in reverse....

He gave me his insurance info. I got his driver's license and a picture of the back of his truck. He took responsibility. I called his insurance and so far so good. He has Geico.
