Dear guys, good eve
I am new to Pakistan and own Corolla Altis 1.6 2022 model. I would like to seek an expert opinion on maintaining the car as I am careful about that. Should I go to Toyota service centre every time on due mileage? I feel Its a bit expensive ..
Also guide me that how much is the general maintainance cost?Looking forward your opinion on thatRegards,
A simple oil change should cost around 7k from a good shop outside dealership if u put like a shell 5w30 fully synthetic which easily runs 7k+ kms.Which city u belong to?The transmission oil costs 10k with labour as the oil pan will be taken out for changing or cleaning transmission filter before putting new atf.It takes type iv atf.
Thank you Aziz for your response.
I understand from your comment that there is no need to go to the Toyota agency for periodic maintenance (which is expensive indeed). Correct?
(I am from Lahore)Regards,
Do this and you will be fine. You gotta mantain your warranty too. Tons of shops outside are selling fake oils, and there are mechanics in several shop who will loot you to every possible extent.Go to Toyota airport, Toyota walton/cantt or Toyota Garden in Lahore.
Yeah for warrenty purpose and resale person(company maintained) it's good.but if u buy oil from authorized dealers then no harm in changing from outside.But some dealerships r pretty stupid.My cousin has a gli 2012 less than 80k driven and they r pouring petron 20w50 in it which I think is absurd for the money they charge.Dealership is in Peshawar.
For geniune oils if u r skeptical from buying locally buy from daraz official pages of the company.In this way u will be sure that oil will be geniune.Or u can use verification sms codes written on oil pack which is provided by some companies to confirm originality of oil.
Thank you for your guidance
I was in the Toyota agency yesterday and I was informed to change the air filter (Corolla Altis 1.6 2022) cost Rs 7,000/=. I refused to change that and get it to air cleaned for now.
I wonder if the pricing is correct at the agency? I am new to Pakistan and trying to understand things
Thoughts?
It’s better to follow Toyota Maintenance Manual. If it says air filter change is due, better change it.
7k is hell expensive for air filter.Get it in market outside will cost u much cheaper for geniune Toyota one.Guard ones are also fine and cost like 6-700 rs I have good experience with them.
Thank you for your guidance, appreciate that. Regards,
