Re: Toyota Prepaid Maintenance
I repeat, if you do the math, then the prepaid maintenance is MORE expensive then going to Jiffy Lube. There is no discount for buying the prepaid maintenance from Toyota.
But what if oil prices skyrocket, and the price at Jiffy Lube goes to $150 per oil change? If you bought the prepaid from Toyota, you are locked in at the prepaid price. Is this really going to happen? Not, it's not. But you have bought insurance against this scenario.
And I repeat, you are buying the fact that Toyota has done all of your service work, and therefore you can hold them liable for anything gone wrong. If Jiffy Lube puts the wrong oil in your car and destroys the engine, then even if you have the Extended Warranty, Toyota will not have to honor the warranty because you did something that expressly went against the owners manual and caused the failure. This is an over-dramatization, but it is really no different than if you put sand in your gas tank and then tried to hold Toyota responsible for honoring the extended warranty. Or the opposite if you added no oil to your car for 50k and seized the engine, then tried to hold Toyota responsible with the 100k extended warranty.
