I went into the dealership for the 40k mile service which involved some fluid changes, tire rotation and brake wear test. I walked out of there $1300 poorer, after they nickel and dimed me for a bunch of other things that came up during the inspection. I even turned down some of the “suggested services.” I won’t be going back there again. Anyone else get this treatment?

    Dealers are not in the business of helping you. They are big entities in the business of making money. Good rule of thumb is that unless you’re going to buy or car or getting warranty work, it’s a good idea to avoid dealers.

    There are, of course, exceptions to the rule. But for the most part it’s true. And this isn’t just toyota.

      “Toyota isn’t as bad…”?

      Hell, I’ve come close to getting physical with a Toyota service writer or two over my refusal to take a “fuel system flush” or a radiator flush once a year!
