I went into the dealership for the 40k mile service which involved some fluid changes, tire rotation and brake wear test. I walked out of there $1300 poorer, after they nickel and dimed me for a bunch of other things that came up during the inspection. I even turned down some of the “suggested services.” I won’t be going back there again. Anyone else get this treatment?
Oh Toyota is that bad and it filters down from corporate, which was explained to me by a Toyota service tech.
Whenever I’d take my old Scion in for regular oil changes they’d habitually try to get me on board with close to a grand of extras but I could kind of see that the service writer wasnt really into it either. Going through the motions, so to speak.
Found out after having to take the car in on a rear input shaft bearing warranty claim at around 50K it was because Toyota corporate likes cutting hours compensation to the absolute bone.
So shit rolls down hill and they have to do these claims so the dealers turn around and extract it out of you any way they can.
