30k Service Quote

Aloha everyone! I have a 2017 SR4 2.7l Tacoma that I bought in March. I went to the dealership yesterday to get a quote for my 30k maintenance service and was in shock when he showed me the price. He was saying the 30k is the most important service. Is there anything on the list of the picture I posted that's not necessary so I can save a little money.

This is my first time ever posting on a forum so I'm sorry if I did this wrong.

 

That's insane, I would not let that Dealer touch my truck.

 

Where the hell do you live?????

That sounds INSANE to me at least.

 

Read the manual and see what it says. All that other shit is dealer add on profit, nothing more.

 

The reset maintenance reminder light is worth about $500.

TOTAL BS !

 

Ill check your drivers side floor mat for a hundred bucks!!

 

Thats just ridiculous!! F that dealer!
Right off the bat, the terminal cleaning is a no brainer. Grab an old toothbrush and baking soda with water and clean them yourself.

My dealer quoted me $75 to do that at my 25K service. I laughed so hard because they made it sound like it was something very involved when they tried to sell me "Battery maintenance" so I asked what it was and he said we clean the terminals..... I was like what the hell???

be careful!

 

Hey guys I live in Hawaii so I'm sure that has something to do with the price.

 

Still, even if you live in Hawaii that's still insane in my opinion. Like I said, theres stuff on there that shouldn't intimidate you and you can save some money.

 

I think its the the volcanic fumes he's snorting.

 

I bought the extended service plan , just so it would cover the 30k mile servicing, because I heard it was high, but that looks stupid high. They aren’t selling the 4 yr extended service plan for near $1500...so that looks outrageous.

 

Ridiculous.

 

Exactly my thoughts. I have an extended warranty as well that I got real cheap (don't remember exactly how much) but it's real cheap compared to that service.
I'm not mechanically inclined but I don't this the 30K service is THE most important one like he's saying either.

 

$1,500...holy $h1t

 

Buy the service plan they sell .. the pay as you go .. get the first one done with the spark plugs and all that good stuff and just stop making payments since it’s pay as you go

 

I would question a few items on the list.
1. What the hell is crankcase oil cleaning service?
2. Universal coolant conditioner? B.S.
3. You can get an engine air filter for less than dealer price, replace that yourself
4. Fuel/Air induction clean up service? What the F is that?
5. Ethanol defense kit? B.S. add some Stabil yourself, the blue is for ethanol treatment.
6. Install windshield washer solvent. That should be free
7. Clean battery cable ends and install pads, easy to do yourself.

 

I just read the list again and I'm even more pissed than the first time. Thats ridiculous dude. They are gonna want like 3 grand when you do the 60K and actually change out parts then!!!

 

I’d bet you can easily do everything on that service for $300, including buying all the tools you’d need if you don’t have any. A couple hours on a Saturday and a few beers and it’s done.

 

.

C'mon. It's all legit. Have you priced blinker fluid recently ? Duh !

 

heck, completely bs. I would never let those rip off place ever touch my truck.
