Replying to: jaymagic (Oct 29, 2007 6:54 am) funny you should mention that - had the same problem with my Avalon in 05 - whether it be wiper blades, oil filters, oil capacities etc. the dealer had evidently had no 'training' on the car. Wonder why they do that, both the Avalon and the Azera are the flagships of their respective brands - you would think they would make some effort.

Replying to: captain2 (Oct 29, 2007 7:04 am)  Funny you mentioned that issue with Avalon service. I had really forgotten that I had similar initial problems with service writers on the 00 Avalon XLS when new (it was the first year of that generation's model). I ended up switching to a different dealer. LOL, so I know how some Azzy owners who had to struggle with a dealer must have felt. Although, with Azera's now almost three years old, I suspect that the only signficant dealer service problems are warranty disputes, where the dealer doesn't want to support the customer. I imagine the days of trying to figure out how to program lock/unlock issues, and getting immobilizer codes are past.

If you don't care about the initial price and want a high resale value, I would suggest a Rolls. They have a very good resale to initial price ratio.

Replying to: djm2 (Oct 29, 2007 4:44 am) Its your money, but personally, my opinion is that you're wasting it by getting it serviced TOO often. That's about once every 4 weeks on a 25k mile/yr routine, right? Why not go by what TOYOTA says to do? Their engineers probably have a decent idea of the service interval. At bare minimum I'd go in at 5,000 miles or 6 months; my guess is the owner's manual says somewhere between 7,500 miles and 10,000 miles.
