Im taking my xB to the dealer for the 10,000 mile service tommorow
just had a few questions

whats included in the service and how much was it.

I called the dealer and the lady on the other line wasnt sure what they do and depending on my warranty the cost may warry. some BS.

thanks

 

I'm not certain what's included. I'd take a look at the owner's manual service guide and see what it says to have done, then call and request a quote on what the service guide lists.
Typically, I do my own routine maintenance unless I can score some for free.

 

just had mine done, its the same as the first 5,000 mile service. Just check all the fluids, and the oil change. I had a rattle on my backseat and made them fix it too, there is a service bulletin on the back seat. Hope they don't take to long to finish your car.

 

Thanks for the help

Ima check my service manual before I take it in.

 

I think if you know how to check your own fluids those srvice updates are just a waste of time and money......if you dont know what your doing and dont know what to look for then yea its worth it

 

Stylis -

Do you know the service bullet number for the back seat rattling?

 

Not sure , I just told them about the bulliten and they looked it up.

 

they rotate the tires and check the brakes too .... and if ya throw in another $300 they'll change the steering wheel to leather

 

manual has everything that should be done.

 

how much would a 10k maintenance cost?

 

Service bulletin is NV008-03, let me know if you need it I have the PDF file for it I can email it to you.

 

Hey I'd like a copy of that, puuuuleeez! shadowmage@cyberdude.com

 

I called and my dealer replaces:
Oil
Filter
and inspects:
Ball joints and dust covers
Brake lining and drums, Discs and pads
Air Filter
Driveshaft boots
All chassis nuts/bolts and body nuts/bolts
Steering linkage and boots
Rotate tires

All for the low price of $105.32.
They did say that the price could vary depending on what is done from dealer to dealer.
Good luck

 

Eh that is a bad price really....I would go for it

 

is that just the xB?

 

yeh servive checks are a steaming pile that they feed you guys.

since im at toyota i don't know your specific mile dealies.

but if a car comes in that's new its an oil change, tire rotate, check fluids. when you get up towards 15-20K then trans fluid change, air filter, EFI service prolly. nothing's gonna be wrong with the rest of it so theyre not really gonna inspect anything real seriously. Toyota/Scion is mad good about overall quality. Sure service bulletins happen.

If you mention something they'll check it, otherwise it's all about flat rate. In and out.
You're definetly better off doing most of it yourself. Simple stuff isnt hard. Major problems you might wanna leave to the pros if you're not trained/experienced.
