My dealer (Dublin Toyota) is charging me $22 to rotate the tires. I was under the impression that this was a covered cost. Does anyone have any experience. If you feel it is a covered expense, do you have a number to call and complain?

Hi,<br>I used to be a service writer at a couple of different dealeships for different makes. The charge on the tire rotation is up to the dealer. I have worked at both, free rotations with oil changes and others that charge. You just may want to find another dealership to go to. I'd let the service writer know what your thinking. It might be worth it to them to eat that charge to keep your buisness in the long run. Just a thought. <br>-Atom

All standard maintenance is free for the first 3 years (this includes oil, tire rotation, basically everything listed in the "Scheduled Maintenance Guide" that should be in your glove box. The dealercritter should know this, but the regional office certainly can set them straight. Ask the service writer for the phone number for regional...

While your advice is good in general, in the specific case of the Prius, all scheduled maintenance is covered for free for the first 3 years.

the tire rotations are included in the maintenance agreement. tell your writer to refer to Warranty Procedures Bulletin PRO00-13 dated 6/9/00 page 4 of 4 <br><br>regards <br>toyobri
