what they do? how much?

 

Best thing to do is call up your dealership (or whereever you get it done) and ask them directly. Prices and such might vary.

 

edmunds.com has a list of what you should do.

Thanks for the link thats a great reference......that link should be a sticky in the Maintenance Area

 

One of the things you got with your car tells you what they do...its a thin booklit and is like a maintence log.

 

i just had mine done within the last month and it was somewhere around 350! they replaced alot of ____ and did alot of work... its alot of money but its worth keeping the car running good

 

^^ may I ask what? AFAIK I know they really don't do anything other than an oil change, tire rotate, and visually inspecting a few things (although they don't usually do that at all...).

 

Was that really necessary....that link works for a plethora of vehicles.....and oh if that booklit isnt around and you want to quickly look it up online....heres another reason the prices...did you notice that guy paid $300 plus for something that could be done for half the price.....No need to be a D!ck....i was just saying its a handy link....grow up

 

thata a great link.. and something everyone should know how to do them self .. would save you alot of money. I have to do my 30k next month.

 

yeah for the transmission it says to change the fluid, for autos. where the manual and scion.com don't say to do that, they "claim" it's "for life".. um, no fluid is "for life"..

So for you of there out there that have an Automatic trans on your tC, get the trans fluid changed at 30,000. Cheaper than burning up your trans later!

 

I do all that maintenance on my on ____. The dealer is a rip off, I just bring it there for warranty.

 

you do not need to change tranny fuild.. almost ever. its actually GOOD that it turns black. that is all benefitial clutch material. we do so much unnessaary maint.. BUT i am goign to do it BECAUSE i want my warrenty to work when something blows up at 59999 miles

 

Also, it is a good idea to check what the manufacturer--Toyota--recommends you do, in conjunction with the Edmunds website, which is a handy link.

Think of it this way, he could've just reported the thread and had it locked. I'm sure this has been posted many times before.

If you're too lazy, to walk down to your car and read the maintenance booklet, or the mere suggestion that you do so throws you into an existential crisis, you probably shouldn't be driving.

 

ok i called them, they change a couple of nonsence items like airfilter, and check (yea right, bet they dont even look at the stuff most of the times) a bunch of other things like, oh make sure your ball joints are still good.. what a rip

 

nonsense items? an air filter is HARDLY non-sense! and ya you go ahead and never change an automatic's tranny fluid, and see what happens. lol

 

I didn't even read the link maybe you should settle down, seriously. It was just an informative fast reply because I was busy, someone p!ss in your cornflakes or WHAT? Oh, and I didn;t tell him to go to the dealer, he could have used it as reference elsewhere? Jesus, learn to understand, you make me want to openly cry for you. I assume you didn't understand how I used the word "they" towards the scion dealer who gave us the stuff. Not "they" towards a person or the link. I havent been a dick in any post I have made, but from your one post I can tell you obviously have.

 

Snarcher... You never cease to amaze me...

 

IMO SAVE YOUR MONEY........theres no need for any maintenance under 50k.....just do your tire rotations and oil changes

 

Yes and no. I'd watch the brakes starting at 40k. I see a lot of front brake jobs done at the 45k maintenances.

 

well obviously you dont need to watch for that you can just feel it and hear it
