The AC on the Corolla Hybrid I once owned was really good. Not the typical small car sucky AC. The engine would shut off at a stop light and when the car was driven by the electric motor. The AC ran regardless if the gas engine was running or not.
There is an unadvertised remote start trick you...
My dad has a Jaguer F-Pace with a V6 and that is probably the same engine. There is a tube under the oil fill cap for an oil extractor. An oil extractor would be a shop owned tool and your shop should have one.
Regarding property rights, I'm not pointing at anyone.
Most all of us here are two faced. You can say your for property rights, but I bet you wouldn't want to live on the outskirts of town next to a farm that was sold to make way for a mobile/manufactured home park next to you.
