I need to get 60K service on my Toyota Camry. I did some sleuthing for authorized service centers close to Stanford, and found three that could give me a ride home. The confusion? Price. It isn't standard at all. At first I was just going to take it to Toyota of Palo Alto, where I got a quote of "about $1000". On a hunch, I called a couple other places and got quotes ranging from $299.99 to $444.99. Here's what I have so far:
| service center | address | phone | dist | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Of Palo Alto | 690 San Antonio Rd Palo Alto, CA | 650.494.2100 | 3.0 | Eileen says it'll cost ~1000, can give ride to Stanford. I spoke to Val at the service department: $850. |
| Toyota 101 | 525 E Bayshore Rd Redwood City, CA | 650.365.5000 | 6.3 | 444.99, anytime this week (check if ride), spoke to Al, replace engine oil/filter, drain plug gasket, fuel conditioner... too much, platinum spark plugs, nuts and bolts, fuel tank. May need a flush. The will determine that if needed, $129.95. You don't need to replace the timing belt until 90K. |
| Toyota At Sunnyvale | 898 W El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA | 408.245.6640 | 7.2 | 299.99 basic, 699.99 premium (transmission/cooling flush), recommend timing belt replacement 349.99, platinum spark plugs 11.00 each, usually 10 miles will give ride. |
Update
Ok, I'm getting a bit concerned. Tustin Toyota in SoCal has a coupon for 60K service - $294.65 including one day car rental.
pretty crazy how big the range is. we use dean's automotive: 6509610302
