My 2014 Prado is now out of capped price service and I called the dealer up for the price on the 70k service (basically oil change only) the dealer quoted $395 which I thought was a little outrageous. I decided to do some google research and I came across on the Toyota Australia website service costs www.toyota.com.au/owners/service/service-pricing and the price was significantly less at $245. WTF?
I called the same dealer up again and questioned it and they said if I brought in a copy of the printout from the website they would honor the price.
When I picked the car up I tried to get more information regarding about the deal but no one really knew or would say how it works. I did overhear someone say a code needs to be entered into the system before they generate an invoice.
There are a few conditions like you need to the the original owner and you MUST take a copy of the printout along when dropping in the car, and I don't know if this works at all dealers.
I hope this saves a few people some cash.
