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?

    Now you know why they are called “stealerships.” However, you had to know before they did the work, because they would’ve needed your approval before moving forward. That’s where they get you. If your car has 40k miles on it, even $650 would’ve been too high. If you had more miles on it, then it is possible. It’s a Toyota. They are generally easy to service and maintain with an exception of a few models (V8 models and MR2s come to mind).
