Help with Servicing Camry

[john029]

This is my first 2007 Camry and I bought it at Wondries Toyota. I have already taken the car in for the first free service.

Now its time for a second service. I was wondering how should I go about it? I see on Longo Toyota website they have coupons http://www.longotoyota.com/MiscPage_14

Should I use one of those coupons and which one?

Is it best to get it serviced at the dealership I bought it from? (Wondries Toyota)

The coupon states it will inspect/check the drive belts, lights, fluids and etc for $63.95

Does this mean it only covers the inspection? Or does it also cover any replacements needed?

Sorry but I'm new to this and never serviced a vehicle before.

Please help

Thanks.

How many miles do you have on the Camry?

So far I have 9,100 miles.

They do more than that. I just listed a few. Here is what they do for $63.95 http://www.longotoyota.com/MiscPage_14

I'm not too familiar with cars so I'm not sure how to check the belts myself. As for the lights and fluid its pretty easy, but I still need them change my oil and thats included.

all you check belts for are for cracks and frizz

guess the price isnt too bad if they rotate your tires and clean adjust your brakes (if you have drums, even better)

whats included in the "complete vehicle inspection"?

and i usually dont like them road testing the vehicle, that usually involves alot of abuse and flooring, haha

All you need to do is change the oil and rotate the tires.
Anything beyond that is a spiff for the dealer.

As stated above the 10,000 mile service is an oil and filter change, and a tire rotation. Of course all the belts, fluids, and tire pressures should be checked at that time also.

A good idea it to photocopy the mileage service that you are requesting from your factory maintenance guide. Give it to the Advisor to have it checked off during the service. You can also have them stamp your guide and fill in the information if you like. If you do have them do, don't ask them to dig it out of your car. Take it out of the car and hand it to him. Make sure you get it back also. Advisors are pretty busy and you don't want to lose your guide.

There is a little more to the 15,000 mile service. You'll want them to check the tire wear to see if an alignment is needed. At that point, it would probably be covered under warranty. Again, consult your maintenance guide for the rest.

Enjoy your Camry.
