Excellent! Question tell us about the official Toyota service and maintenance manuals. How many different manuals are available for each model ( mechanical, electrical, suspension, drive chain, body panels, interiors)?

@singular9 Yes there certainly is! I was just a point A to B type of car car person. Thanks to AMD I decided to stop fighting the outright lying of my local Honda dealer. I usually buy only Honda Accords once every five years and never had a problem except the lying by my local Honda Service department. How to avoid the lying? Stop buying a Honda! They can hire honest mechanics or advertise for new customers it is their choice. As a result of AMD I switched from Accord to a 2022 Toyota Corolla SE. Love that car! But a new problem. When I listened to the Toyota F&I salesman exaggerate and bloviate. I wrote down a list of items the dealer wanted to add. I said NO thank you. No addendum and paid for the car at MSRP. I left the car in front of the New car sales area and the walked over to the Parts department where I heard more bloviation about the parts " MUST BE INSTALLED" by the dealer like security lug nuts for each wheel? Give me a break, I know that $41 for a full set is cheaper than $150! The Parts manager told me that "Toyota does not have Parts numbers". So I bought the lug nuts and had my Professional auto detailer apply the "ceramic" paint coating at $900 less than the coating. What about the oil, drain plug gasket and oil filter? I bought them from a different Toyota dealer. Why do these people just plain lie? There is no one to complain to. Mr. Akio Toyoda President of Toyota motors, where are you? We must force your dealers to abide by your agreements. Are some Toyota dealers giving your brand a bad reputation?? This is why I need a full set of manuals. I am looking for one honest T-Ten Toyota trained technician. In the mean time, I need to know what to know ( maintenance manual) when I finally hire one. I do not trust two local Dealers. One uses the SAE 5-20 oil instead of Toyota SAE synthetic 0-16W (on a new car in cold weather) since "they ran out two months ago" and the other is too sketchy.

@mikehand2668 I just bought several cases of Toyota 0w-16 , several oil filters, activated carbon cabin filter and extra goodies. I lost my trust in local Toyota Dealer Service. I do not feel guilty for not trusting those who deceive others. I plan to work around problems that I identify. The car is mine and only I am responsible for preventive maintenance, maintenance and repair and NOT "Toyota care". I know that the local T-Ten trained mechanics are getting paid a barely living wage while state law requires $15.50/hour to hand sweep a parking lot and fast food order clerks make abut $22/hr to punch an icon of a burger and say " Do you want fries with this?". Dealer mechanics and Technicians are getting between $20-30/ hr with few benefits while the Dealer charges suckers like me $200/ hour labor rate. My family physician doesn't make that much. Maybe an ad in Craig's list will help me in locating a T-Ten trained technician who will work for less than $200/hour? I'll pay for the lift and equipment required. Of course I always pay with real money ie cash (" For all debts public and private") as is printed on each Federal Reserve Note. Honest mechanics will be able to survive on "side jobs" with no "upselling" or bogus findings, reports or work.
