Hi. I have a Kluger CVX coming up to 100k and will do the service myself as per the service schedule. I am having the sparking plugs replaced by the local mechanic in our town as it is difficult for me to reach 2 plenum support brackets. I would never take my Kluger or my Corolla to a Toyota main dealer ever again for anything, quality of work has been abysmal, pricing not consistent and they do work not required or needed. Incidentally have you had any problems with your car? Mine has been trouble free since I got it new April 2005.

any reputable mechanic can do it,just tell them not to do any extra work until they have contacted you,just get a normal service with plugs etc,transfer case and gearbox plus diffs probably need to be done too

In general i would have to say Cannon Toyota Camberwell.

had my car services there since i got it with 11k on it, now at 70k. I was straight up when i first went and asked if any discount for TOCAU members they always do me trade on parts and labor and are great blokes.

e.g.

40k service - biggish one cost me $190

60k service (i did oil and filter myself...they did everything else) $60

70k service (i did oil and filter myself...they did everything else) $49

and they still sign the book and do it all perfect, ive heard of places not willing to sign book etc as customer did the oil or filter.

awesome blokes id give them a call and chat, they are always willing to put in better oil if you tell them exact one and other aspects although i just do that myself at home. With no exaggeration i believe i have saved approx 700-1k in service costs and other little issues in the prob 15 times ive been to them, from problems i had with tread and noisy brakes where they ended up replacing the pads under warranty...now that is never really heard of as they are a consumable.

Also last year near Christmas on a 38+ degree day i was getting car serviced so dropped of a cold slab of VB to them....they remember things like that ;)

If you ring the service centre ask to talk to Scott, say you were recommended by Simon with the blue sportivo who stated how good service is here rah rah and drop the TOCAU member and ask if any chance of discount - fairly sure he will oblige.

* they also do a drop off and pick up from work courtesy :) ask about that...they may have a certain 5k radius they do though..i get from camberwell to kew np via them (5-6km)

Good Luck.

I do all my own servicing now on my Kluger and Corolla, except the spark plugs on the Kluger which I have just had done by the local mechanic. Both cars are now out of warranty. After my experiences with the 4 main Toyota main dealers I have used in the past, for routine servicing whilst my cars were under warranty, both bought new, I would not trust any Toyota dealership to touch my cars, not even to check tyre pressures. What I am unable to do my local mechanic can. Kluger has 99000 kms, Corolla 63000 kms both no issues or problems.

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!
