Dealership experience

[federally]

Took my Tundra in for it's 30K check-up. They say no problem, we'll get you done in about 2 hours and that'll be $420!!! The only actual work they would've done is to change the oil and tranny fluid!! All the rest was just inspecting. I couldn't F'in believe they wanted that much cash.

Oh and one other tidbit: I bought my Tundra used and it already had the K&N CAI and I don't have the stock filter, so I asked how much to change to stock. They gave me a quote of $693...just for the parts!!!

Dealers are crooks

At least you found that out sooner rather than later. Dealers are FOS.

Well, before you dis the dealer, you should read your Tundra manual.

The Transmission contains World Standard (WS) Transmission Fluid and doesn't require any actual oil change, ever. The only maintenance is to check it periodically. Nothing is changed. Every Toyota Authorized technician shouldknow this, it's know their training.

There is a TSB (TC010-07) published on June 28, 2007 that clearly states:

100,000 Maintenance Interval — Inspection only; ATF-WS does NOT require any
flushing or changing during the life of the vehicle.

And FYI, my 30k service cost me about $60, since I did it myself.

Laos if you have the LSD it calls for a change at 30k I think. But would hope they don't charge 400.00 for that. lol

Should have a list in the main forum of dealerships that are legitimate,trustworthy and charge accordingly just in case I ever have any warranty issues I don't feel like fixing at home.
Should be a short list. 25 or so, or about 1 in every 2 states judging by personal and family experience.
Probably about what suggested Retail price before discount is on a Toyota CAI.
Last Chysler part I bought was a window motor.One wanted $87.95,other dealer $62.76 same part. Over 25% less.
