I wonder if you can subscribe for 1 day and just print out a few hundred pages for future reference?

Very useful no doubt for mechanics etc, but I find the Thai workshop manual and Toyodiy are enough for me.

Sweet as. I'd be keen on having a look at this boxhead.

Allocate a day to it and get as much info as you can for the services you can see coming up.

I had my 2012 serviced last week, capped price servicing my arse. $170 plus wheel alignment and balancing $70, plus fuel filter replacement $80 plus $40 dollars servicing.. end cost $350ish..

Well the service adviser must have been a looker cause you could have said no!

And if you paid for balancing get them to credit your account because that is in the capped price service a balance and rotate.

I think the $70 must have been the alignment.. but they tied it in with the balance. I asked for the fuel filter change for piece of mind.

But in fact she was a looker!

capped price servicing is log book only, if its not in the log book you have to pay extra

yeah I've had customers chuck a shit n walk out cause they think the capped price covers everything. best was cause mice had chewed holes in an air filter big bloody holes n they refused to pay n said should be in the capped price. won't miss them.
yeah those prices are a bit rich but it might get some people to understand diagnosis cost as some are quite involved. then people don't wanna pay for it

It's ok EVL253.
When every one else has had a look at the customer high tech problem and he has paid for that diagnosis with no repair. And no one can fix it.

They all come back. And they have to pay again.

So does capped price service $170 not cover everything required to be done?
