I just had mine done. They change all the fluids, clean the throttle body, change the air filter and rotate the wheels.

I think it's around $600....quite the bargain lol.....

PLease pardon my ignorance bu tI need an answer to this question:

What fluids are involved when they change the fluids?

I assume engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid. Anything else?

Thanks much.

$600 is unbelievably overpriced to do this.

I am at 42,000 miles andf may not do this 60K service b;c it seems crazy.

other than oil change,: trans fluid, rear diff fluid, radiator drain-refill,engine and ac air filters,check your serpentine belt.

no need for dealer to do all these things imo, any competant mechanic could do, or do what you can yourself

What about adjusting valves, is that included in the 60k service?

I can do all this under $200 in my mechanic shop with all the toyota produces!
600 is overpriced!

u guys are lucky to spend 600 lol my lexus dealership in seattle wanted 1200 dollars for 60k service so i just went to my local shop and charged me like nothing

Not all dealers do the same identical service at 60K. Some add extra stuff. It's always best to have the dealership provide a detail list of service performed so that you can compare prices to other independent shops. Of course, your best price is when you diy

i should post up some more

chuckb

johnny,

i'm waiting for a (diy) coolant replacement with pictures

TLW

ok i can do only the easy one though

not the one where you have to take the plugs out of the block

thats a little too involved for a DIY

chuckb

beteween that and trans change you posted, you could save members $200 from dealer prices.

the drain for radiator looks real easy too. it even has a tube coming out through bottom for no mess. that's probably another $100 from dealer

you might have to have all these merged together and stickied
