30K Service for 159.00 today..

Toyota owners website has local coupon for service @ 159.00 and got my tires installed at Sears after lunch today. Was a killer day!!!

That's a damn good deal! I was talking to the dealer the other day and they said $117 just for the plugs! Then the next day I got a coupon in the mail to extend Toyota Care to 45k miles for $299. Sounds like a good deal to me!

 

Sounds like it's to good to be true...... If that's the case... change your own oil... (It IS too good to be true)...


The stealership WILL screw you.... Sooner....OR.... Later!!


Don't fall for their crap man....!! I can but plugs for around $30.00....?????

 

What's included in the 30K service?

 

Butt plug? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pr7OCRfnjEw

 

30k service at the dealership and all they do is look at it. Does that include new spark plugs, oil change, tire rotation, grease and lube u-joints and driveshafts?

 

Change air and cabin filter too?

 

No plugs..that is a 300.00 job. Both filters, oil, inspection and light reset. Keeps the warranty in check is the only real value.

Oil, air, and cabin is what I should have said.

Just had the 30K done on my Taco. Oil, filter, tires rotated. Cabin filter and top off fluids. Did not change air filter and no plugs. Mine was free with extended warrenty.

 

don't know where you're getting your info, but my maintenance guide says plugs at 30k.

I'll upload a pic when I get somewhere with better service.

 

That's not such a good deal if plugs weren't included.

 

So at 26,400 miles why would anyone change the plugs? Completely ridiculous! Just follow your manual and you will have paid 50k for your Taco.....

Let me see what it costs for my 30k service...

Filters, air, cabin and oil, I buy in bulk so call it $20
Mobil 1 5w-30 $30
Spark Plugs from Rock Auto $20
Gear lube change, diffs, tranny and transfer $50
Tire balance and rotation, free with tires

So it costs me $120 just for materials, so I would gladly pay $117 and let someone else do the labor.

Seems there is confusion over what services are performed at 30K. Open the PDF and go to page 41 for the 4.0l engine. Info on the 2.7l engine is a little further into the PDF.

 

"...the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which is enforced by the FTC, makes it illegal for manufacturers or dealers to claim that your warranty is void or to deny coverage under your warranty simply because someone other than the dealer did the work."

And there you have it. 30K is a piece of cake. I just went down the check list and got er done. If you dont like doing it yourself, I'd pick a mechanic with a good rep over a dealership.

 

Whoooa...!!! I meant I can "BUY" plugs for $30.00...... No Butt plug for this guy..hehe


You guys don't miss anything do ya?....

 

Those coupons are bogus. Look at the print - spark plugs are extra cost. They just inspect all your fluids except engine oil, but don't replace. Basically they are charging you for an oil change, new air and cabin filter. Rest is all inspections.

 

Sure you did!

A little Freudian slip?
