Do you bring your car to the casa for the first 1k km PMS? Do they adjust anything?

I remember when I brought my City for first 1000 parang hinugasan lang feeling ko wala naman ginawa...

My Altis is almost 2K Kms now di ko pa nadadala, although free naman yung first 1K and 5K. Not sure lang if worth the time for the first 1K...

wag munang dalhin. sa labas kana mag pa pms or change oil. forget the warranty since its a toyota 100% reliable naman yan. walang masisira dyan.

seriously all my car (taxi fleet and personal use) never ako nag pa pms sa casa. so far ok naman lahat. no major issues within the 5 years.

Free pa naman ata labor ng 1k and 5k PMS so IMO casa ka na lang muna at least for the first two checkups. Change oil na sa 1k and mineral lang palagay mo dahil change oil ka uli sa 5k.

The 1K change oil is critical as this is supposed to flush out the impurities from the engine manufacture and assembly process (i.e. metal shavings, dirt, etc).

I personally have my car serviced at the CASA for the first few scheduled stops just in case there may be build defects. After that i go to my own shop of choice already but I still follow what is stated on the owner's manual pertaining to what has to be done during a particular mileage service. If you stick to the CASA, it shouldnt be much of an ish either as i find Toyota service prices quite reasonable as long as you go for regular oil and don't avail of the additives or flushes that they offer.

The panels i've seen sold online (Scoshe) usually fit a 1 DIN or 2 DIN; not sure about the Innova/Fortuner size audio systems.

*Vinj - Thanks for that, I never thought about the flush out of impurities. If indeed they will do the change oil, then I will bring it now hehe...

Yes first 2 checkups are free anyway, hassle lang sa oras...

Call for an appointment. Better on weekdays. Should be done in two hours tops.

Agree here. Call your dealer to set an appointment. An hour or two lang yan. I usually drop the car before work then pick it up during lunch break.

You can also find a dealer na malapit sa mall para dun ka muna while your car is being serviced. Call for appointment para walang hassle. Go mga 15mins ahead of your schedule since need ka pang kausapin ng service advisor.
