No Cost Maintenance...

I thought oil / filter change was included - is it me ?
To boot, I understand the car-wash is no longer included due to covid concerns...

 

isn't it?

 

It is, but you're probably at 5k/ 6 months. if so it doesnt get an oil change until 10k

 

You don't get the first oil change until 10k, and yes it'll be free

 

Beat me to it

 

Oil change at 10K

 

Toyota changes the oil & filter at 10K and 20K, unless you ask for them to be done earlier (you get 2 free oil changes regardless of when you choose to do them). I chose to have them do my 1st oil change at 5K.

 

You already paid for it.

So it's not really free.

 

"There is no such thing as a free lunch"

 

our local dealership, 10k miles or 1year, what ever comes 1st. We had 4k+miles at 1year but I can't remember if they replaced the oil filter. oh well

 

My local dealership stripped the bolts on my skid plate. A free 20K miles oil change was not worth the price.

 

My dealer said get it in there at 4,000 miles for first oil change. Only 2 changes?.. that's pretty lame my Forester came with 4 but whatever. Also got an Email about re-applying some ZakTEC PREMIUM PROTECTION stuff.

I suppose any dealer can do this? I got one real close to me and where I had to go buy it was like 40 miles away.

 

Ass, gas or grass… nobody rides for free

 

No need to do oil change at 4k, your dealer was probably just mentioning the first maintenance at 5k which is tire rotation/fluid check basically. Refer to the owners manual for routine maintenance schedule (oil changes every 10k).

No idea was that protection stuff is, probably a scam. EDIT: I just googled it and yeah its a super duper secret "paint sealant" that they want you to pay for every 6 months. Learn how to wash/clay/wax your car with ceramic coating. Easy to do yourself and will be wayyy cheaper than that crap and better quality.

 

Pretty sure my dealership denied all 3 of those firms of payment. They insisted on credit card or cash. Where are you going!?!

 

You don't always get what you pay for,
but,
You pay for what you get.

 

The only thing they do is rotate your tires and oil changes . 10k interval .

 

Oh this ZakTek business was 'built-into' the price - couldn't be removed - just part of the deal take it or leave it.
They are giving me 2-reapplications but after that I won't re-up.
