I went into the dealership for the 40k mile service which involved some fluid changes, tire rotation and brake wear test. I walked out of there $1300 poorer, after they nickel and dimed me for a bunch of other things that came up during the inspection. I even turned down some of the “suggested services.” I won’t be going back there again. Anyone else get this treatment?
I’d recommend stop getting what all is suggest at the dealership. You can get tires and rotations done at a place like discount tire. Change the oil yourself or get it done at another place. I had a 2002 Tacoma that I bought brand new. I babied it for the first 40 or so thousand miles and took it in for oil changes at the dealership. After that I started changing it myself, with Mobil 1 fully synthetic and replaced the oil filter. Sometimes I’d let it go 20k miles before an oil change. I also accidentally dropped the transmission fluid one time at around 130k miles instead of the oil plug. Called Toyota they told me what to get from autozone and bam a cheap transmission fluid change. Drove that truck for 400k miles before selling it to my dad for 3k years back. He drove it around another 100k miles before replacing the engine. The only other things I do was multiple sets of tires, a couple belts, lightbulbs, and probably the most expensive thing was the air compressor for the a/c went out 3 times. My point is, Toyota vehicles can survive not having all the maintenance that the book says do all the time.
