almost due for 30k mile service, what all is done for that?

I'm almost due for the 30k mile service for my 2019 tacoma. I heard it's close to $800 dollars for that service at my local dealership so was wondering what exactly all gets done? I'm wondering If there's anything i can do myself or tell them not to do all together to maybe cut some heft off that bill.

Thanks in advance

 

The answer is in your owners manual, it lists all recommended scheduled maintenance

 

The list is in your owners manual.

The dealer will likely have a longer list.

Ask the dealer for their list with prices of each item, and assume that's all they do (find nothing in need of repair)

Then you figure out what you can do and scratch those off the list.

I'll bet your new version will be pretty short!

 

I entered 2019 V6 4WD. https://www.toyota.com/owners/parts-service/maintenance-schedule

 

Thanks, I'm seeing a lot of things that say "inspect" and haven't pin pointed where exactly this bulk cost is coming from

 

30k mile service includes:

>Check blinker fluid level
>Top off battery liquid
>Fill Tires with helium and rotate valve caps
>Check max volume of speakers and leave at max setting

You're welcome. Yeah that's dealership for ya lol All the inspect stuff just do yourself of course.

Every 10k I just do oil change, check engine air and cabin filter and replace if needed, then take my truck to discount tire for free tire rotation.

Shoot, almost forgot all this vital stuff.

 

"Inspect" is also known as "pretend to look like you're doing something important enough to bill/charge dum-dum vehicle owner"...

 

That's just it, you don't need their $1k worth of snake oil.

 

This would only seem worth $800 (op's quoted rate) if the fluids were to be replaced vs just inspected

 

I do most all maintenance by myself...... within reason. If youtube can talk me thru it and I have the tools I'm good. I did see for $326 you can take Toyota Care Plus. It looks like they cover any scheduled maintenance for 4 years or 45k miles. I might consider this when I pick up my new Tacoma as long as the fine print isn't full of exclusions. Anyone have any experience with Care Plus?

 

And when we're young we value money more, especially families. It's harder and harder to stretch a buck these days. I guess it just depends on what stage in life you're at

 

I think mine was in the $400 range. I believe it included transmission fluid and rear differential fluid. These weren't required, but I didn't know what the previous owner had done with the truck so I wanted to be safe. The rear diff is only required every 60k so I was able to skip it at 60k since I had it done at 30k.

 

Maybe Toyota does that since it's entered into their system...

 

You can self report any service done using the app, or in the ‘owners’ page at Toyota.com. It shows all dealer work to your truck from day one plus any other service you have entered. Its incredibly useful to have every service done by both the dealer, or anything DIY , all in one place. I also add when other shops have done any work like new tires etc..

 

WOW - 30K mile check up...GOOD FOR YOU, I'm envious!!!

I just had my truck serviced - it is a 2019 also...I'm at 167K miles.

 

You can log the maintenance you do on the Carfax Car Care app, but I'm not sure if DIY stuff shows up on a official report. I do know that once you enter your vehicle on the App you can access your Carfax report which is kinda cool

 

So you'd rather spend your free time in the waiting room at the dealership?

 

What happened?
