Bobo Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Dealer is suggesting a slew of “Toyota Recommended Services” including: drive belt replacement, brake fluid exchange, throttle body service, fuel induction service, cooling system exchange service, ATF fluid exchange the cost would be very substantive. What is really important and cost effective? Car has 61,000 miles and runs great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyota Owners Club Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 That would be very expensive indeed. maybe find a good independent garage to carry out the necessary work and prioritize the list to do the most essential items first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon 96712 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 If you're willing to invest your time, labor and buy a minimal tool set, most of what the dealer recommends e.g. t.body and MAF cleaning for example are simple. You can do yourself. It is questionable whether you need a brake system flush, ATF fluid or cooling system fluid drain & replace, also tasks you could easily do on a Saturday afternoon. Watch Scotty Kilmer and others on youtube for how too's and what should be done by the professionals. FWIW dealers most always are more expensive than an independent – it's how they pay for their high overhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
