    I bought a used 4 cyl 2012 Tacoma three months ago at CarMax with about 35.5 miles on it.
    In three months I have driven 1800 miles.

    When should I take it in for its first maintenance?

    I have an appointment at CarMax for squealing brakes, which they did not take care of when I first brought it in, but this is not until November 24. I can't bring it in sooner since I only get paid the days I work.

    Should I hold off until then, or should i get it serviced beforehand?

    Did they service it before you drove it off the lot? If so, check the manual or dealer for service advice. If not, get it serviced now.

    He bought a 2012 model. The service is needed for time, not for mileage.
