I had my car serviced today for its 20,000 kms and it cost $200. The service for the 10,000 kms was $237.

To make it more strange this time I asked for fully synthetic and the put Mobil 1 5w 40 where as before it was semi-synthetic.

I wish there was a standard price and there would be some regulations put into place. There are too many differences between dealers and more than often its the location of the dealership that is the most influential in the decision making process not the price. Sux :(

There there... some price differences between dealers for the same km service is staggering. My 20,000km was $270ish whereas my 30,000km was $185 :)

I remember my 10,000km was $180. The dealers in the whoop whoop areas i find more cheap :D

My 10K was free and just had my 20k $250 plus $45 for a wheel alignment (i asked for the alignment)

plus they threw in some free scratches on the bottom of my front bumper.. YAY! :angry:

oh and in the report they listed that they cleaned my air filter... hmmm no toyota filter... when i enquired they said they cleaned the pod the best they could.. my reply

"surely a pod thats been in the car for 12 hours cant be that dirty" :P

I paid about the same for my 20k service and I just found out after driving a further 2.5k that they didn't clip the airbox back in place so my engine's been sucking in some unfiltered air lately. :angry: I guess they really wanted me to get that fuel injection clean...

I have to make an effort to do a visual check under the bonnet after each service...

Geez. $200 for 10000k service???!

You seriously got shafted.

I rang a few dealers and the cheapest was $150 from Lexus, followed by $155 from Toyota near my place.

Initially, I was booked in for a service with the dealer where I bought my car but I canceled the service after finding out $188 is way too much for 10000km service.

now that we're takling abt service.. this K-mart service flyer says "Services carried out ... ensuring reliability and manufacturer's warranty".. does Toyota 'recognize' K-mart's work? just wondering coz it'll be a good alternative as they're everywhere, costs less, and lets u choose any engine oil :D

As long as the work is carried out by a qualified mechanic, and the bits used match or exceed Toyota's or Australian Standards' requirements, then legally your warranty is secure.

Doesn't stop a recalcitrant dealer from trying to find an excuse not to cover something, though!

I asked my dealership this same question just out of interest (never plan on taking my car elsewhere though) and they said pretty muc hwhat Buddha says below.....

....although they did say that any parts used must be genuine Toyota!

Yeah, they would say that! :D

It'd be interesting, though, to find out if anyone has had issues of that nature (say, Kmart putting a Ryco filter on, then the customer needing engine work, for example).

I don't consider myself an expert, but I do read pretty much all of the general motoring media (Wheels/Motor, Carsguide/Drive) and haven't read any letters or articles on the issue ... but I haven't seen it on A Current Affair or Today Tonight yet, so obviously it's never happened! :P

      Brake issues

      BTW forgot to mention that there is no shake in the steering wheel. The 'shudder', really hard to describe but almost like brakes on and off. Cannot identify front or rear or both. Got me totally miffed.

      Brake issues

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      200 series won’t shift past 4th gear

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes.

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility
