Fixed Price Servicing?
 

I've had a look around but can't seem to find an answer to this. Can anyone confirm if the 86 comes under Toyota's fixed priced servicing, and if so, what's the prices?

Yes. $170 each for the first 6.

EDIT: it's for the first four.

The first four, not six. Intervals are 9 months/15,000kms. All fixed price servicing ends at three years.

Lovely. Thanks!

So interval has been extended!!??!!

Much better than 6mths 10,000km like Honda etc.

Camry, Aurion and 86 are longer intervals.

So the newer releases only.

I'll still change oil every 7500km but certainly an improvement.

I wouldn't let unsupervised Subaru apprentices near one of my cars, let alone unsupervised Toyota apprentices ... even if they were free.

Mine shows first six. I have the papers that say so.

As per the Toyota 86 Digital Brochure says at [J7] "...(up to the first 4 services)." Least it's better than none at all *cough Subaru*

Its definitely only the first four guys. The fixed price servicing covers up to three years on all Toyota regardless of service intervals.

Hearing you. But for those of us not "in the know" there isn't an easily identifiable better option.

Top One Automotive at Arncliff does great work. A lot of my friends in Sydney get their cars worked on by this shop.

Yep, despite what the service centre guys told me when taking delivery (6mth intervals), can confirm the warranty and service book says 9mth/15k intervals. So 4 services x 9 month intervals = 3 years (clarifying the concerns I had in a post in another thread) and that means total cost of servicing by Toyota for the original warranty period will be $680.

Also be aware that you can buy an extended TMCA warranty (1, 2 or 3 years) at any time up the end of the original warranty. Not just at purchase time.

I agree with this. Hanny's for Honda, top one for anything else. Only problem is you have to go Toyota to keep the warranty.

That is completely false.

You just need to go to a licensed mechanic and keep all the receipts, log books etc.

This is a tremendous waste, and has no benefit what-so-ever.

but i do a lot of short trips and stop/start traffic.

I don't think it's a waste at all, especially if you're going to do the odd track day and weekend thrash. Oil is cheap.

I'm used to doing bikes at 3000km, though they share oil with the clutch so degrade it much faster especially doing 16500 rpm all day. Manual for my bike states 10000km

I stand corrected. I just assumed this was the case since this is the first new car I've ever bought with warranty. Even better then, I wouldn't trust any of those guys to service my car considering the horror stories I've heard. Top One here i come...

lol. You buying direct from Saudi Arabia or something? :P

Rephrase on behalf of speed3 - "Oil is cheaper than an engine"
Warranty won't *always* cover stuff that fucks out. not if it is due to lack of maintenance, abuse, or racing.

You made this statement about no benefit changing oil at short intervals, what is your logic based upon. Please share.

Question:

When i purchase my car from Dealership A can i take it to Dealership B's service centre for its free 1000km service?

yes, you can
 

yes; any Toyota dealership can do your first INSPECTION. It is free.
It's also after the first MONTH of ownership, not 1000km...
You can always speak with your service advisor for further clarification.

yes

My logic is based upon the people who design and build the car knowing when it needs to be changed. Given they have to pay for repairs, there suggested period would be on the safe side anyway.

If oil is cheap and changing it earlier is better, why not change it every 1000ks?

Gir thats a dumb argument mate. I think 7500 is reasonable. I dont like the idea of going 15K on the same oil in a car that will be driven fairly hard.

Cool, cheers. will talk to dealer when i take delivery

My point was you're really just making up a number to go by, and ignoring what the manufacture suggests because it doesn't feel right.

that's fair enough. i guess it comes down to personal choice ultimately. A lot of turbo cars are recommended 10K but most people (me included) do 5K. I also change my filter every time I change my oil.

it depends on what oil you use and most importantly how your car is used.

it is up to you how often you want to change it. there is really no need to argue. if you are comfortable to stick to what Toyota specify then that's good. some of us prefer to have more frequent oil change due to how we use our car.

bare in mind what Toyota specified is the bare minimum.

I also change the oil in all my cars every 7500km! :)

All Toyota servicing is 10,000km/ 6 months. The only exceptions are the Aurion/Camry and the 86 at 15,000km/ 9 months. (Older Camrys are 1 year service intervals, which is too long in my opinion.)

For the service Advantage thing, you have to take your car in every 9 months to get all services at that price. So effectively for most people the interval is less than 15,000km (for the first 3 years anyhow).

your logic does not take into account people taking there cars to the track, or driving in "severe conditions" eg dusty etc. that should be in the cars manual and will be probably be every 7500km anyway

Manufacturer service intervals are as much about marketing as they are engineering.

Think of services like a use by date on food. 99% of the time the date is meaningless, and it exists purely to cover the manufacturer if someone doesn't service the car, and is selected to minimize potential issues that the manufacturer would have to repair.

You can change the oil whenever you want, I was merely stating there's no benefit to making up a number different from the manufacturer's.

And if Subaru and Toyota have different OCIs for exactly the same engine in exactly the same car, which one is right?

I don't know what my oil change interval will be. What I do know is that it will be determined by used oil analysis, not the Subaru/Toyota marketing departments.

Well I might have been a bit spoiled buying oil through a race team and only needing 2L at a time but a DIY oil change is $90-100, depending on how many kms you do per year that might only mean 1-2 extra oil changes.
