My local Toyota dealer was doing the same thing with the upselling of fuel/coolant/transmission additives. This appears to be widespread amongst dealers and not just Toyota. Seen this with Audi also. Been taking my Land Cruisers to a solid Indy...
While I totally understand the logic behind using a shop you trust for the work you’d rather not do, I’m with @Mrtwooooo on a lot of the listed work being illogical or totally unnecessary. One gallon of coolant isn’t enough to drain and refill...
All those "Treatments" and all those other snake oils they charged you for are not recommended maintenance items by Toyota, or they would be in the maintenance section of the manual . The dealer nickled and dimed you.
THank you.
Many people have helped me over the years here and they continue to do so. I have bought cruisers here. Never sold one. They seem to accumulate at my house. People here have been my family and it has been wonderful.

If you want OEM parts to stay alive, buy them, from whatever source is good for you.

With much regret and hesitation I am selling my beloved 1979 FJ40 trophy cruiser. Got rid of the trophy wife long ago.
I have owned, enjoyed and pampered this rig since 2007. Unfortunately as of late it just does not get the attention and use...
Well...again, not really tech, but another great trip to Utah last weekend. For as long as I've been bouncing around in the Utah desert, I'd never done the White Rim Road in Canyonlands NP. Now I have. Four days, three nights. Honestly could...
Great looking 62 ! A thorough detail inside and out to include the engine bay and under side would really help you get top dollar. Just noticed you’re in my neighborhood. That’s Cranmer Park. Good luck with the sale.
Gotta say - no one but people on a Land Cruiser forum know what a Land Cruiser is (atleast in NA) let alone know it is a halo vehicle. I doubt the 250 will impact that. Most likely this will be the first time your average buyer will have heard...
LC 200 or a bronco? You mean a luxury suv that has literally gone into combat zones all over the world, or a lifted 4x4 mustang? This can’t be a real choice..
