hi,

i just called the local toyota/scion service department and they told me that for the 20k mileage servicing that it'd be about $99.95 for re-tightening the chassis bolts,rotating tires, checking brake pads (front and rear,) and more bolt checking.

Is that a good price or is it not even really needed and they just have this to make money off people?

Their oil change has been running me $39.99 because I've had friends who have gotten their cars serviced at other oil change places and had parts taken out of their car costing them money at their dealerships for replacement parts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

 

bump?

 

the STEALERSHIPS is a rip-off....

 

so the "20k tuneup" isnt necessary?

 

it is.. for warranty purposes. but the dealerships charge way to much for it. find an ASE certified mechanic and have them do it.. it will save U a lot of $$

 

oh.......well i guess i'll get oilchange first haha

 

at a dealership in my area, they only charge $75 for that kind of service. i guess its better than nothing, and takes care of your car for now

 

ya you have to watch what they charge; until yesterday i didnt know that their labor charge for installing parts (like springs, sways, ect...) is only $19/hour

 

do you mean 190 an hour?

I remember I stripped a couple bolts takin out my stock header, I went in there and asked if they could help me out. guy came back and said, "hour and a half, $204" (or something crazy close to that). I laughed at him until I realized he was serious. I left and used my sawzall

 

nope 19/hour. if i was you i'd check with local dealership. they've tried that ish before w/ spring install (950 for springs installed) and i called my buddy who works in parts and he said its 19/hour. cost me 23$ w/ tax to install a sway bar.

 

for service maintenances (20K, 45K, etc), do they charge for labor too? i didnt get charged..but my friend did.
