So I recently bought a 2010 Toyota Corolla.  Naturally, I was disappointed when I heard that my car was recalled, along with many others, due to acceleration problems.  However, I’ll say that my experience getting the car fixed was great.

I took my car to Koon’s Tysons Toyota in Northern VA.  I called to make an appointment for 12:30pm.  I got there at about 12:10 pm, gave them the keys, and sat down to do some schoolwork on my laptop.  At about 12:45pm, they already called me to pick up the car.  I also noticed that the customer just before me had the same exact experience.  It did not appear that the service bay was empty—there were a ton of people that were getting their cars serviced at the time.

As for the effects of the repair, I drove about ten miles to get home after the repair, and I did not notice much difference.  It seems like the brake is slightly more sensitive when I press it down, now.  Though that could just be a placebo effect.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience, since it was very positive.  I don’t know whether this experience is common throughout the US, or other dealerships, but I really enjoyed my service at Koon’s.
