2021 Toyota Fortuner: 20K km service update

I love the concept of Toyota service centers. All places have a lounge area with large see through glass pane where you can sit and relax while watching your car getting serviced.

20K Service update

• Service was done at Nandi Toyota Banasavadi branch earlier this week.

• Service included oil change, air filter element change , oil filter and inspection of other bits.

• I love the concept of Toyota service center. All places have a lounge area with large see through glass pane where you can sit and relax while watching your car getting serviced.

• Service took about 2-3 hours including wash. That's quick!

• While Toyota dealers have become like everyone else out there pushing for "Value Added Services" , I made it clear that I will pay only for what is mentioned in Toyota Manual. Total bill came to 6800 as labor was free
  for this service. I think paid service might now cost 10-11K .

• Bought muffler tip and seat belt pads for 2K from accessory list, costed about 2K. As a nice gesture, dealer handed over a key cover as a gift. Building good relationship with any dealer makes good experience last
  longer. I am visiting Nandi Toyota(different branches) since 4-5 years, have had good experience(Sales + Service) throughout.

• Oil used is fully synthetic and costs 5K including tax. Unlike BS4, there is no option for BS6.

• AdBlue was not refilled as there was no warning and I had not asked them to check.

• Wheel alignment, Balance was done outside hence had skipped. Toyota charges around 3-4K for this job.

• There were no issues reported after inspection and I did not have any either.

• Interiors are holding well. Touchwood, no rattles, parts breaking or deteriorating quality.

• Stock Bridgestone's look good for another 20-30K KMs. Quite happy with their performance so far, performs off road despite being HT and better than few cheaper ATs out there on tarmac.
• Lastly, was good to see someone taking delivery as same spec car as mine at a premium of ~4-5L in about 1.5 years time  . I have started to believe for now that cars do appreciate!
