I took my Camary in for some work and they told me that the computer needed an upgrade. Is this true or are they just trying to get more money?

There is a Technical Service Bulletin for ECU reflash. As far as I can tell, they do that so they don't have to remove the ECU every time they need to work on the vehicle.

If you never had any problem with the vehicle, I don't see spending $100 for the re-flash.
