#65 of 149 Different Dealers = Different Recommended Maintenance by axiomowner Feb 20, 2006 (7:34 am)
I'm lucky to have 3 Scion delears in my area. I'll be due for the 15K miles service soon. (Bought my tC in 9/04).   I noticed that each of the 3 dealers define the 15K service differently. You guessed it, 2 of the 3 are adding pricey services that aren't listed in the service manual for the 15K service.   I recommend everyone check their service manual and make an informed decision regarding maintenance. At least pure pricing allows easy cross-comparison. Replies to this message: driley99 (Mar 20, 2006 4:25 pm) sighon6 (Apr 22, 2006 1:11 pm) sighon6 (Apr 22, 2006 1:17 pm)
#66 of 149 To purchase extended warranty or not? Xa 2006 by time123 Feb 21, 2006 (10:37 am)
Any opinion about whether the extended warranty is worth the money? Aren't Toyota reliable enough that there isn't much in the way of repair costs up to 100,000? Appreciate any thoughts about this. Replies to this message: unixfag (Feb 21, 2006 12:17 pm) cdbva (Apr 08, 2006 6:43 pm)

Replying to: time123 (Feb 21, 2006 10:37 am) I purchased the warranty with the understanding that what you don't use, is refundable.

Replying to: axiomowner (Feb 20, 2006 7:34 am) I called for my xA 15K, and dealer wanted $300 for oil change and inspections. I took it to my non-dealer mechanic and got the service recommended in manual for MUCH less AND they fixed a slow leak (nail in tire) I'd had since almost new, which missed dealers notice on the 5K and 10K tire rotations.   I would prefer a Scion rep did the work, but I was not prepared to spend that much at 15K.   The manual both says that you can get maintenance work outside of dealership, but it also says somewhere else that it "may" not void warranty. What this means, I hope I don't have to find out.   Anyone else who does there own work or gets it elsewhere? How does dealer respond to warranty afterwards?

Personally, other than the oil changes and tire rotations, just do the 60K service only unless something comes up. I do this for my cars since they are heavily used. The only exception is my truck which is 30K since its pulls my RV.   I have great dealer service and all the work is done there except for the tires (after the first set).

I'll 2nd that emotion. Those are both vital to the continued smooth usage of your powertrain.
#73 of 149 Drive Shaft bolt service? by james49 Apr 02, 2006 (2:14 pm)
I agree with Mobil 1 oil and K&N air filters, Pure One and WIX oil filters. Also, trans flush at 30k miles. Also added air horns to be heard. Maintenance manual says to "tighten drive shaft bolt" at 15,000 miles. Does anyone know which specific bolt they are referring to, I have checked all that I could find and they are at correct torque?
