Kinda sounds like what's about to happen to mine... spark plugs, brake fluid, carbon build up TSIB and replace rear view mirror. And then i'm gonna give her a good clay bar and wax when she's back

She pweetyy, but $1400 ... damn!

I went ahead and tackled the 60K service myself. so far ive spent $450

-Replaced all 4 rotors and pads
-Brake flush
-Oil change
-Bought all filters from toyota (we share with the camry) and replaced them all

car is running great, but still gotta take care of the dreaded spark plug job

Come to NYC and do mine please... I think I can pay for your flights, parts, and maybe service and still be cheaper than 1.4k ... jiji or at least explain the brake flush to me...

honestly you dont, if your staying with blank rotors. I only replaced my rears because I got drilled and slotted for the front, looked weird with the blank rears. My rear rotors AND pads both had great life in them and they were the original pads from when it rolled off the line.. crazy..
