I just took my vehicle in for a 25,000 mile service (wheels rotated), and paid for the alignment $159.95. (last time alignment was done 11 months ago)
I have recently changed the cabin and engine filter myself. Next service is 30,000 miles. The dealership says my charges will be Fuel Air Induction "cleaning" $189.95, Balance tires $35, Rear Differential service $150. Does this look correct? Anything else i should be aware of?
I recently posted a similar post, and my costs included yours plus replace transaxle fluid. There’s no transaxle in a hybrid, plus brake fluid replacement etc. I declined all these extras, which finally brought the 30k mile check down to basic oil and filter, rotate tires, changle out cabin and engine air filters. So I did my own. With all the added ”suggested” maintenance, my bill would have been over 1,700. The Toyota maintenance schedule is what I follow. I bought a brake fluid moisture tester from amazon for 13 dollars. Checked my vehicles and bikes, and an old can that had been sitting unsealed but closed for about 2 years. The old can was still within limits, but the vehicles and bikes all indicated zero moisture. I suppose it depends on where you live, but use your best judgement on all this. At least you didn’t get the transaxle fluid change! Plus I had already told my representative that mine was a hybrid. And had him email me the list of items and costs. Buyer beware!
