OK, then I don't quite get it. I understand the concept with an extended warranty. It's like insurance, if your engine blows, you are going to get more out of the coverage than you put in, and if nothing goes wrong you don't. It's a "peace of mind" thing.

With the prepaid maintenance, you don't really get that. There is no "extra" benefit for pre paying.
Note it's not really about "Jiffy Lube" vs. the dealer. I do go to the dealer for service, and get the exact same service you get, including the same record of service should any warranty issues come up. What I don't do is a) pay as much b) basically give Toyota an interest free loan.

Pre paying should lower your cost, which is a benefit to you, and commits you to Toyota service, which is a benefit to them.

Otherwise, why not just get it done at the dealer anyway without the upfront payment and higher cost????? There's still got to be something missing here.....

Later!
