Shop recommendations near Santa Clara

Hello,

My Taco ('17 DCOR) is coming up to 30k miles and I believe that my factory maintenance is up.

I was offered a ToyotaCare Plus maintenance program from Toyota in Sunnyvale. Total cost is $429.

This includes 4 service appointments.

Should I take the deal?

If not, any recommendations on a shop for services?

Seems pretty steep for them to change the oil, maybe rotate the tires if they remember and "visually inspect things" .

This is my suggestions: https://www.yelp.com/biz/akins-auto-repair-san-jose-2

 

Literally any auto shop can do those things for considerably cheaper.

 

Unrelated but great call on the MT too!

 

What do you get for your four appointments? For $100 or so?

That’s not that bad but let’s see how it compares. Jiffy Lube charges $60 for an oil change. If you need a cabin air filter, another $20. Not sure about engine air filter. They rotate tires now too. The MPI is free and how they look for up sales. I’m sure it’s roughly the same cost as what you’re being offered except you get roadside assistance thrown in and Toyota parts.

Seems like $420 is a fare price. Not great but at least fare.

 

Worth it for the engine air filter and cabin air filter. But they use dino juice instead of natural gas base stock synthetics. You're paying MSRP but you're not getting ripped off either and they're making a buck.

 

Perhaps do it yourself. Not hard.

Not a bad deal though.
