$390 for 3rd gen 120k service -good deal?

price also includes a rental car so I don't have to sit around at the dealership all day.

I know a lot of the 120k service can be done fairly easy, but in the interest of time/ convenience, I want someone else to do this.

thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Honestly, for 1/3 of that cost you could do a more thorough service yourself. Plugs, wires, fuel filter, diff fluids, air filter, etc... Toyota only does the plugs, oil, and inspects a bunch of stuff. IMO, not worth it.

Yeah, you would be better off doing it yourself with a little help from Autozone or Napa. It is actually faster, and a hell of a lot cheaper.

My dealer does the factory recommended service items and not much else unless you count a car wash. I think I'm going to give this 120k service a try this weekend. The 1/3 less cost really got my attention. I can buy a lot of new tools with the money I "save"!

Thanks Guys!
