Nope, it was towed to nearest Toyota dealer through GEICO. I recommended to my daughter it be towed to independent Toyota specialistm, but that was 30 miles away and would have cost towing charge for long distance. Any advice you can give me when "negotiating" with a dealer on such a repair would be greatly appreciated.
