And the dealer will charge $135 to change the oil, rotate tires and check all is well. Is this a reasonable price? Seems a litte steep to me. What have you been charged in your neck of the woods? I am in the SF bay area which can be expensive. Incidentally, the car is of course the car of choice in this area -I saw 8 of them in a 10 minute drive to work this morning!

Sounds like a gross overcharge to me. The service to preform the Toyota recommended 5K interval service costs me about $45 at the dealer.

$40 and the coffee is free! 8)

Had mine done yesterday with tire rotation, alignment check, minor under car panel labor, car wash, coffee and doughnuts for $52. (with a coupon)

 

[adamandgwen]

I think mine was in the $50 - $60 range here in the Philly 'burbs.

Run away! Run away!

$40 is too much for an oil change and tire rotation. First off, I'll be so glad to get rid of these Goodyears. They are terrible, but I want to get as much mileage out of them as possible before I do get rid of them. However, paying the dealership to rotate tires is criminal because when you swap those tires out and purchase new ones the tire seller you deal with will do the rotation for free, in most instances. All the tire shops around here will rotate for free, and so will any Costco if you pay them for the full tire service.

The point is that I got my last oil change/rotation for my cost of materials, which was $4.50 for a quality filter and $4.50 qt for Mobil1 and $11 in labor. I felt that was a pretty good deal.

I just had my Prius serviced today for the first time at 3233 miles and I paid $27.93 for lube and oil filter but no tire rotation. I'll have them rotated at 5000 miles and every 5000 miles thereafter.

Can you possibly suggest a more "colorful" phrase for "Run Away! Run Away!" for this dealer rip-off alluded to above?

Sounds like a great deal for your dealership's service department! What would these "services" cost at the local Wal-Mart Super Center for the same duration? [/b]

Also to add: This Pre-Paid service is good throughout the whole USA !
I have one for my private vehicle and did the "math" as to how much
will I end up paying for the entire 4 years or the 55.000 miles and I come
ahead. _savings_ ! Anyone care to comment ?

 

[mrv]

at least the $995 is MSRP.

 

[firepa63]

I seems like it's about $400 too high to me. I would never buy it.

Which dealer is charging you $135? It seems very high. Did you make an appointment? They may have charge additional if you were a walk in and demanded quick service.
