How much for service?

[jogal]

Just had my 30 thou with oil change and filters $138.00 New Town Toyota Perth. Oh and a loan car for the day

[xrdave]

80,000km service at Motorama Hillcrest $454.00
I think the 90,000km service, should be $240.00.

xrdave,
did your service man tell you what your valve clearances were like at 80k service how many did they change?
i'n just curious how many they had to adjust
cheers

xrdave,
yeah just curious mate i'm heading for 50k soon thats the only thing that hasn't been checked on mine is the valve clearances and as i understand things they are supposed to be done stone cold i'm told by a mate who should know .
when i was buying a new fuel filter the other day at b....... toyota iasked the spare parts guy how many lifters they had sold ? none was the answer .
40k is only 400 hrs at 100 ks
the cummins in the boat gets a cold set/ injector check every 1000 hrs
food for thought
chhers ken

Hey if any of you fellas are in melbournes western suburbs or near there, I'll do the 10,000km service for you for a 100bux even, preferably on saturdays. and yes Im a toyota mechanic.

PM me if your interested

[markmanchu]

what about that first service at 1000km or whatever it is?
i tried to get it included in the price but with no avail.
also, they said i get it serviced with them, theyll put the warranty out to 6 years

[Stu-k]

1000k service is free, which is about the right money as they do nothin

I had the Oil and filter done at 1000 km and again at 5,000 Km and have changed the oil every 5,000 from then on. I have a mate who went by the book and never did his Oil until 10,000 when it was new.
I do the 5,000 km services myself now and just get Toyota to do the them every 10,000.
Rich.

[markmanchu]

yeh the 5000km ive heard is simply the check up etc, a 5min job.
my boss got his workmate today and i was looking through the book, has a coupon kinda thing for the 5000km "service"

[ripin5.0l]

yeh same rich my brother inlaw is a diesel mechanic and recons if u keep to the 5000km service she'll last 4 ever!!

[D4DLUX]

yep every 5,000 is must unless you do more than 250ks a day that is high way driving. Oil and filter is minor cost to keep your motor relibale

[Rich]

I am having the 40,000 km service done today at Toyota and this morning when I dropped it off, I was quoted about $551.00



Seems expensive.



Anyone else payed that much for 40,000 km service??



Rich.

[Steve9R]

seems pretty high man... what else are they doing ?

[Rich]

After I typed that last message, I thought to myself, I am going to ring them and check...so I just spoke to the service people and they had the wrong schedule, I think they had a petrol schedule, cause they were apparently changing spark plugs and stuff like that on my diesel !!
The price just went down by about $100 anyway....
they are changing diff oils and just checking everything else. The service book says to check valve clearances, but they reckon they don't do it...?
I wish I had the know how to do everything myself and not just the 5,000 km oil changes.

Rich.

[D4DLUX]

its all pretty easy mate not much to them

[markmanchu]

on the bright side, holden never changed the oil in my diff, i recognised that faint whining noise, took it in, asked them to do it, they wanted to charge me a fortune for something thats not that hard (although i wasnt goin to attempt it without a pump)
had my uncle do it dirt cheap (head mechanic at subaru).

[9W6VX]

Rich,

I have the same thoughts as yourself.

I reckon I'm even worse than you mate!

I don't even change the engine oil myself.

I'll be sending mine to Toyota tomorrow for 30k service.
