I brought my 2003 Toyota Corolla to the dealer for its schedule 105000 miles service. I always bring my car for all its regular services to the same place. All was "fine" with my car, as they described. The next morning I start driving my car, and it fails, brought it back to Toyota, and they told me: "It was the transmission, something got loose inside and damage it beyond repair, it was not their fault, it just "happened", my options are either install a new transmission, or get a new car". My questions:
1. Is it normal for a manual car with regular service to get the transmission suddenly failed, right after regular service?
2. Is it worth it to repair it? or get a new car?
Thank you!

ok. it may have happened anyway even if you did not go for your check up. Do you trust your dealership? it sounds like you do.
anyway, ask them for a bid on a used unit as this will be cheaper than them fixing it or replacing with new.

It was fluid check (that's what they say). I haven't get a bid yet (this just happened), and I wasn't planning on buying a car yet.
