I was wondering if I bought my supercharger from an online webpage and had toyota install it ..... if something goes wrong w/ the supercharger will the dealer take care of this? ....or .... do you have to buy the s/c from the dealer for them to cover problems w/ it?

 

call your local dealer to find out. Every dealership may have different policies

 

i was under the impression that if it were an authentic (and new) sc and a toyota/scion dealer installed it that it would be covered.

 

thats prob the way it is - like stated --- eventhough scion has pure pricing i dont care what anybody says .... all the dealerships have their own small things they do different. ...im gonna have to call them up and ask when the time comes.

 

having the supercharger will void your warranty, even if the dealer installs it

 

That is 100% false...it is a Toyota dealership sold part and if the dealership installs it, your waranty is maintained completely. That is why so many people ar going that route instead of a turbo which costs less and produces mre power.

 

Now, what would make you say that?

 

my god - how could you post that the supercharger will void your warranty if installed by toyota? ...anybody that does not know the answer to that question.... dont even listen to the above users reply. If you get the supercharger installed via toyota you will be able to maintain your warranty. come on now...dont post total BS people

 

i work at a toyota dealership...

go to your local toyota dealership and ask the someone in the parts department.

then come back on this forum and tell me its BS

 

Signaturescion works at a delaership too..I smell catfight..grrr

Many Toyota employees are on here and so far you are the only one to say that the warrnaty will be voided. As of now you in the minority x1000

 

supercharger will not void your warranty...enuff said

 

do any of them work in the parts department?

i read an updated letter on the tc supercharger that i will post up sometime next week

 

Burden of proof is on you then

Lets all hope its not the case..that would make a lot of people vary unhappy.

 

yea, it was hard to believe.
it made no sense that even if the dealer installs it,
you wont have the 12 month / unlimited mile warranty.

i was under the impression that any service a toyota dealer performs is under the12 month / unlimited mile warranty.

but i'll definitely keep you posted

 

Warranty conforms to original manufacturer's powertrain coverage (5 years 60K miles) when installed by dealer. There's a couple of forms to fill out, and the customer keeps a copy of the original work order for the installation. Done.

We installed one on a customer's car almost a month ago now. Our next available 5 speed will also get the S/C treatment. Just waiting for it.

ok, so the guy i asked misunderstood my question...

you have warranty if bought and installed at the dealer.

if you buy it online and install at the dealer, there is no warranty.

 

If you buy it from anywhere and bring them the sealed up box to get installed at the dealership, you will get the warranty. As long as the box isnt tampered with or is not missing parts and everything is OEM standards, you will keep the warranty.

 

how bout you get the s/c from sparks, get the zpi pulley, open the s/c box, try to make the pulleys look identical (besides from the size), replace trd pulley with zpi pulley, seal the box back up, get them to install it?

 

I like the way you think!

 

For those of us that work at dealerships, could you share the number of the Warranty Policy or Procedures Bulletin that this comes from so that we can share it with our customers? I can't seem to find it. Thanks!
