How can I tell if the dashboard was out of the car?

[colin172]

I had my Supra at my Toyota main dealer to sort out the common heating problem. They charged me for taking the dashboard out but I then had the car with a specialist who said the dash was never out of the car.

How can I tell if the dash has been out or not?

If you can't work on a MK3 supra yourself and you have to take it to "specialists" to "fix" it then you, my friend, should just pack it up and lease a new saturn or a ford something cheap and with a 100K mile warranty.

Theres no way you can tell if the dash has been off unless you did it yourself.

As the old saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself.

And don't forget that these cars come stock with a blown head gasket right off the dealer lot. That would explain why you don't get any heat from your heater core. And no theres no way to tell if the head has been off either, unless you did it yourself. Block testers are your friend.....

Look at the screws. Remove it yourself. You'll be able to tell if anyone has been there before you.

look for missing screws,
on a odd chance maybe they forgot to put it back
but other than that
even if the dealer ddnt open it up
unless ur the first owner of the car, somebody else could have opened it up b4 u

I just tend to do $hit the hard way.
