Toyota 3 year complementary maintenance

adeshell said:

The dealer told me about this briefly. Does anyone know what this includes? He said you could get free oil changes, tire rotations, etc. Is this available at any Toyota dealer? Does anyone know anything about this or does anyone know of a webpage describing this benefit? :?

I haven't had confirmation as to whether the 2003s come with it, but the 2001 and 2002 Prius in the US do have the free 3yr/37500mi maintenance included.

Look in your 200X Prius Passport to Performance Scheduled Maintenance Guide. (Make sure it says "Prius" and isn't the generic maintenance book for all Toyotas.) If you read the first few pages, it'll list off the free services. They're good at any Toyota dealer, although some aren't as familiar with servicing Prius so you'll have to remind them that your service is free.

The free services are for the regular duty cycle scheduled maintenances. Basically, it's the 7500mi/6mo services that are an oil/filter change and tire rotation. Eventually the passenger compartment AC filter and the engine air filter also get replaced free, too. So, it's your first 5 services (up to the 3yr/37500mi service).

See http://www.john1701a.com/prius/prius-maintain02.htm for the regularly scheduled maintenance guide from the 2001 Prius. The severe duty schedule is not included on this page.

The Prius comes with 3 year 36000 on the main portion of the vehicle.
The Hybrid system is covered for 8 years and 100k on the mileage.

This is what the hybrid batteries life is estimated at also. (Maybe up to 150k) but in any case I didnt think it was worth buying the warranty because of the hybrid coverage. 100k max anyway on Platinum warranty. Maybe if they covered to 150k, then I could see buying it. I hear the battery is about $4000 to replace.

The gas engine is covered for 6 years or 60k.

But as I said before I didnt think the extended warranty was needed. Besides, they give you up to the 3 years or 36k to save up to buy one if you decide later to get the warranty.

Prius Warranty

Every Toyota Car, Truck and SUV is built to exceptional standards. And that's not idle boasting. We back it up with these Limited Warranty Coverages:

Basic: 36 months/36,000 miles (all components other than normal wear and maintenance items).

Hybrid-Related Component Coverage: Prius' hybrid-related components, including the HV battery, battery control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter, are covered for 8 years/100,000 miles.

Powertrain: 60 months/60,000 miles (engine, transmission/transaxle, front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, seatbelts and air bags).

Rust-Through: 60 months/unlimited miles (corrosion perforation of sheet metal).

Emissions: Coverages vary under Federal and California regulations. Refer to applicable Owner's Warranty Information booklet for details.

Accessories: Warranty coverage is for 12 months, regardless of mileage. If the part or accessory is installed during the New Vehicle Warranty period, coverage is for 12 months or the remainder of the applicable warranty coverage, whichever is greater, with the exception of car covers, which are covered for 12 months only.

You may be eligible for transportation assistance if it's necessary that your vehicle be kept overnight for repairs covered under warranty. Please see your authorized Toyota dealership for further details.
