Hey all, I had a question, hopefully someone who works at a Scion dealership can answer this for me. Do I have to take my Scion to the dealership I bought it from for my 3 free oil changes?
I have had some problems with the dealership I bought my car from (being promised delivery on xx date, not hearing from them about my car I signed on until next day, then being told it would be over a week longer than I agreed to, being told by the service area guy when I took it in for the 2nd oil change that I only get 2 free oil changes, not 3 etc).
I'd like to take it to the dealership in town, which is much closer to me anyhow (I only went to the other dealership because a friend of a friend worked there, and took good care of me, which is about where the good service ended, and he doesn't even work there anymore so I have no real ties to that dealership besides my car coming from there. )

Any insight would be appreciated,

 

no it doesn't

 

Any Scion dealership, most Toyota dealerships. :D

 

I was informed that the 08+ models only get 2 free services. I hate you Toyota.

 

i had 2 cars 07 n 08 tc
07: 3 free oil changes no tire rotation
08: 2 free oil changes with tire rotation

 

I also had a similar sales experience to RAAB

I recieve A+ service at the Toyota dealer I use, and I will continue to go there because of it.

I was offered only 2 free (but they did free tire rotations)

 

I have an 09 they only gave me only the first 2 services for free (oil and tire rotation).

And I had to take it to a dealership other than where I bought it because I moved. It was no problem. They didn't even treat me any different.

If I were you, go look for dealers in your are and go the the dealer review section on scion life to see what other owners have experienced. That is how I picked the dealer I went to here and work out fine for me.

 

i have an 09 and i got 0...
lol, but thats by choice.

 

i got my first free oil change coming back for my 2nd in 4.5k miles. dont driver often so thats going to be a while.

i got oil and oil filter change. most likely Pennzoil oil and Toyota oil filter.

they also adjusted my ebreak so it fully locks up after 3 clicks. used to be around 7-8ish. feels weird. but w/e

guess i have to retorq my bolts since they took my rims off.

 

i got my 08 and i have free oil changes for life

 

I got a Lifetime Warranty on my car from my dealer. And then I bought the 5 year one from Toyota too (Which covers more). But if I miss one oil change the Lifetime Warranty is gone.

 

it came with my purchase, nothing extra which is great. i know the toyota techs arent the best everywhere and they mistreat your car but, i have gotten to know my tech and he has been the only one to work on my car and i trust him. i usally walk back to the bays and just hang out outside and only walk in to show off my mods, hes really into my car. i usally do my own oil changes but if it can save me 20-25 bucks each time, id rather save that money for something else

anytime i take my car or any other car to have work done, i always look over their shoulder. keeps my mind at ease.

 

I wish I could say that for my dealer. I think they work more on Toyota's not the Scions. Last time there I was one of 2 scions and the other scion owner have 15 years on me. Then of course there were Priuses. They are like ants, they are every where!

 

I only used one of mine. I was boosted by the second one, so I wasn't about to bring it to the dealer.

 

make sure they done put in 4.5 quarts like they did to mine

 

they probably put 5quarts in mine... its about half an inch over the limit...

i brought mine in at 5,5k miles they didnt say anything just wrote me up for a free oil change.

 

Bah mine takes over 5 qts to be to the full line - the only downside to not having balance shafts

 

wow thats amazing! you really had plans for your tc! what oil do you use now that your boosted?
