Toilet Repair in Mount Angel, OR
Mount Angel is a renting town with a mixed-age housing stock: 46% rent, and 51% of homes predate 1990.
Short version
In Mount Angel, 46% of occupied homes are rented. That usually puts the toilet on the landlord's side of the line, so a tenant's job is to report the fault rather than to find somebody to fix it. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 51% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Mount Angel’s housing suggests

In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
