Maintenance Service on 2021 Tacoma...this is what I was told today.

You didn't take your truck to the shop asking for a price on all those things but they presented it to you anyways, to me that's a red flag and i personally wouldn't trust them.
I would look somewhere else.

 

How would you feel if they didn't perform an inspection and missed something important?
Do you think a shop can stay open charging $80 for a synthetic oil change plus spinning up four tires?

 

Brake fluid a must over time brake fluid brakes down … differential and transfer case. I barely use my 4x4 u should see how dark the fluid comes out of the front and rear after 30k miles .the differential and transfer case is so easy to do on your own . The brake fluid I would have a shop do it u need a special pump machine to properly cycle the brake fluid .

 

Do you think it's ok to take advantage of people to make a buck?

 

Do you think the service provider made money on the $80 they charged for sythetic oil change and tire balance/rotate? Since we both know the answer is no... how much should they charge for the services provided?
If they hadn't performed an inspection and missed something important, would you be okay with it?
What is the shop doing to "take advantage of people?" Be specific....

 

To be clear the prices are fair … but do you need to do some of that at 48k? I’d say the coolant and the trans fluid probably not.

 

Valvoline has gear oil in squeezable pouches, which is face-palm levels of brilliant.

 

This is what I will be using next in both of my diffs.

 

My truck is 17 years old with 248,000 miles on it. The only thing on that list that has ever been done is to change the oil in both diff's and the transfer case. That was at 170,000 miles. Keep driving it.

 

My local Toyota dealer is pretty good, I can get an oil change, lube and oil filter done cheaper than I can buy the parts and oil. Sure they won’t miss a chance to sell you something, but I’ve done my own work for years, so I kind of filter out the BS.
