Default credit where credit is due - Toyota service

Lots of posts moan about official services. Put my RAV4 in for its 60 000km service, got a phone call from the dealer at 2pm. "Sir, we'd just like your permission to replace the air filter [not normally changed at that service] and the windscreen wiper rubbers."

Considering all the stories I hear about people having their brake discs changed without permission, I thought that was quite good

Reminded me of a BMW service I had done. They put a comment on the sheet saying that the BMW torch was missing from the glovebox

On the other hand Jaguar used to (do not know if they still do) charge £6.00 for the lint free cloth wipe they use to clean the dipstick when checking the oil level.

Cheap and twice the price!

I was recently thinking about all the comments of a Jaguar being "just a rebadged Mondeo."

No-one calls a Mondeo "just a rebadged Jaguar" do they?

I wonder if Ford charge for the cloth to wipe the dipstick too?

Make sure your Toyota dealer performs the "Ceremony of the Keys" upon collection.

Seriously, they are supposed to do it
