[ultramookie]

Alright j steed, calm down. Lets not demean people on the boards. Lets keep this about the cars and not attack people.

dude, all you people are morons

flipside is the foremost most knowledgable owner/enthusiast on the toyota sedan platform

why would he lie, he doesnt work for toyota, and futhermore, a goddamn oil change, spark change, etc should be done by you, not a mechanic

learn yer damn car, thats the point of owning it, otherwise you have morons spending 200 bux on the 73,450k maintaince

sock up ya morons, youve been dealt

I have to agree with the guy on top! Your car will run as good as good you are to it. My suggestions would be for you to go to a dealership and ask them what they will do for the 30K service (have a print out).

I have that list available down to the time it takes to perform the maneuver and etc. If you honestly think your car will run better by servicing it at Toyota, I feel sorry for you guys. But for those who know which maintenance items to perform and replace at the right intervals, you guys have a head up on keeping your Toyota for a long time. But hey, we all spend our money the way we want to spend it, right?

Geesh..i didn't come on board for one day, and you guys took it to three pages! ( ) no no ryan i think you misunderstood my last comment..I agreed w/ droomyster that a nicely maintained car runs longer, but it doesn't need to be 'dealer maintained'....(thought you were also referring to me as well...as you said..."felt sorry for you guys" since i was the other guy there. but like they say, to every dog...his own bone!

Jay, I understood your comment. I was directing my response to the others. (stupid english language)

I didn't feel like reading all the bickering, but everyone, "Chill!"

If you know how to fix and maintain your car good for you. If you don't, that's not a big deal either. Some people have the time to learn new tricks while other people make their money because they know their own tricks. Is the mechanic going to think any less of the doctor who doesn't know how to change his oil when the mechanic is in the hospital having a heart attack?

My point is that every individual is integral to our global economy and is just another piece of a grander greater machine. We all have our skills and talents.

Without knowing each other and each other's circumstances, how dare you judge?

Well i think i got enough information for my question here... LOL but, im decided, im not going to get the $275 check up because, like people said it is mostly visual inspection... Im just going to get my oil changes there only but the rest i can go to another spot.... Thanks everyone
