Hi All,

Just trying to get recommendations of preventative maintenance for my GX. The dealership is having a 50% off sale on labor so it's time to get some work done. The timing belt hasn't been replaced yet nor had the radiator been replaced. Based on helpful information in this forum, it appears those are two items I should consider. Should I have anything else done? I'm not experiencing any mechanical problems now but just wanting to take advantage of this labor discount. Any advice is appreciated!

If you are the type of person whom perceives that "Time is Money," then your $$$ Well spent will be on THAT, plus fresh fluids(Diffs/Transmission). Depending on how those 75k miles were ran? Suspension bushings (And greasing zerks while you are down/under there) would be another place to visit.

Best bet is to look at your service guide to see what 75k/150k service intervals consist of and go from there.

I'm sure others will chime in, to give you a wider gamut of what to look for.


Or, even at 50% off, it could be in your best interest, to save that money, and DIY(The ones you could possibly attempt) your services for the next 50-75k.

Dealerships are tricky... they will have a 50% off labor but then either mark up their parts or even worse... take 50% off by only charging half the flat rate hours.

If the second holds true.... the quality of work you’ll get from a technician doing a job for half of what he should be paid is not gonna be “top notch”.

Just throwing that out there. Id like to know how they achieve the 50% off deal. I’d ask for details on that.
