So today I got my 10k maintenance from Toyota Capital Motors I-9 Islamabad. Total cost is as follows.
1. Labour charges Rs. 3150( In October it was Rs. 1800).

Here is what's included in Labour.

2. All lubricants ( Battery acid, coolant, wiper water) check and top up if required.
3. Air filter cleaning.

6. Cabin filter checkup and cleaning (upon request).
7. AC checking ( upon request).
8. Any other issue that you are facing.

Low air from Side Vents.
So now coming back to my AC troubles. I asked about the cabin filter and it's price. They told me genuine will cost somewhere round Rs. 15,000. The one of Toyota Corolla will cost Rs. 4600. I asked them to check it. It was really full of dust and chocked. I asked the mechanic to clean it with air. He told me it can be cleaned but with great care as it can easily get damaged. He said it should not be changes before 20k. In the nutshell he cleaned it with air and after that my AC is working very well. The side vents now have excellent throw.
AC checking.
I also asked them to check my AC. They inserted a temp sensor inside the center vent and after 5 minutes read the value. It was 5.2 degrees. He said your AC is working absolutely perfectly. Your only problem was a chocked cabin filter.
After the work I returned home and on my back journey the change in throw and cooling was huge. Now I can safely say AC of Yaris is excellent.
Important point about Cabin Filter.
The mechanic told me not to use fresh air intake. He said it will choke your cabin filter very quickly. Also try your best to clean the existing one and change it only after 20k. The cabin filter is behind the gloves compartment and a 20 second process to remove.
Tyre Rotation and balancing.
I asked the mechanic if I need tyre rotation. He said it is not required as there is not much difference between front and back tyres at 10k. He said you should check at 15k or 20k and then do the rotation. Balancing charges were Rs. 1750 and per gram additional charges will be added. Way too expensive. I guess I will get it done from Market at Rs. 100 per tyre after 15-20k.
