Excessive Prado Servicing Costs

Recommended Posts

I just had my 2002 Prado VX serviced, it has only done a little over 80,000kms. It was serviced at the Toyota dealer we bought it from and they charged us $1430 :o . Of that there was $381 just for replacing the break pads. As if that's not bad enough they say the thermostat needs replacing but they don't have the part, bring it back next week. Had it done and got charged another $239 :angry: . That's $1670 all up!

I understand that 80,000K is a major service but does that seem like a ripoff? It must be their way of recovering the cost of providing a "free" car wash service I guess. I suppose I should be grateful, they very generously didn't charge me for the labour to replace the wiper blades (but they did charge for the blades), probably saved a $100 there ;) . We've had the car serviced there since we bought it in late 2003, it's not like they haven't made plenty of money out of us over the years.

Sorry had to vent :angry:
