    Recently I took my Tacoma to the local AutoNation Dealership for an Oil Change at 38000 miles. They told me the Throttle Body needed cleaning if I wanted to keep the vehicle running like new. I was told they would take it autonomously and clean it out with a brush and cleaner then charged me $100. In my younger days I swapped out the plastic throttle torso from fourth dimension to time to keep emissions under control. I utilize the truck to pull a trailer so the truck is under a 3100 lb load when I drive across country. Did this senior denizen hear a line of BS or not? Of course the truck seemed to run smoother after, merely I had the oil changed.

    I don't know what the transmission says about cleaning the throttle torso but it does non appear to me that you lot were overcharged. I have personally never noticed a performance difference from an oil change.

  5. You are over-thinking this stuff. This and the brakes, and the dealer is trying to get your money. Just follow the maintenance transmission and accept them do what information technology says unless you take a specific issue that needs attention.

    @ 38K miles, no. At some bespeak in the trucks life? Yeah. And you lot will know considering your idle quality will tell you.

    No way information technology needed cleaning at 38k.

    Next fourth dimension y'all need work I would find an independent mechanic you can trust.

    Pro tip: if they are saying something is "dirty", enquire to look at information technology. Your eyes are as proficient a judge as theirs!

    I cringe when places get-go taking things apart they shouldn't be touching! Then I take to practise a 50 point inspection of what's put back together correctly earlier I leave :rant:

    Yous probably didnt need to clean it, $100 is a lot in my opinion, at my dealer we charge $50 I believe, I do mine (2nd gen iv.0L) maybe every 25K or so, I dont experience much improvement but I dont let it get very dirty in the beginning place. I volition say that I think its worth doing when you are doing a tune upwardly if you havent cleaned the throttle body before.
    Its one of those things that gets recommended by mileage, its like recommending a tune upward when you come in for a oil alter/rotation, are we going to take the plugs out and check them before recommending it, hell no nosotros dont become paid to check plugs, merely we say hey based on your mileage of 100K we are recommending this and its up to yous on how yous feel the vehicle is doing to either approve information technology or not.Run across bolded higher up, you want me to actually remove the air inlet and cheque it, so pay me and I will gladly take a video or you can come back and see, most dealers dont pay us for the costless inspection so we arent going to spend more then 5 minutes checking tires/brakes/battery/easily seen fluids/worn mechanical parts.

    The didn't say recommended...they said it needed to be washed which implies they inspected it. If they don't desire to give the OP an option and then they demand to provide evidence to back up their claim. If the price of inspection is not included in the service so that'due south management fault. If your not paid for your time and so you will not be motivated to do a skillful task.
  16. Don't requite them a penny for anything.

    Concluding fourth dimension I was at the dealer for a ac fan recall, I overheard them quote a guy $750 for front brakes, basically changing pads and "turning" the rotors which nobody does anymore.

    The guy was debating it and I was going to say something, but I couldn't because I threw up in my rima oris.

    No meet below, they said "running like new", running like new would mean as it left the dealer, which would be with a clean/new throttle torso.

    Don't feel too bad. I vicious for it too.

    Nigh of the maintenance on Tacoma's is pretty piece of cake for the practise-it-yourselfer. I'm gonna starting time doing my own services in one case my pre-paid oil changes are used upward.
