Not on all cars. Quite a few are either adjustable or shim type. Land cruiser is shims. Isuzu Ute is adjustable up until 2021. A lot of Mitsubishi are adjustable. Just because it’s not the latest tech doesn’t mean it’s still not used.
Oh what a feeling like to charge you for valve clearances on their services. But most dealers don’t stock shims. They’ll tell you they order them as needed but that’s complete rubbish.
