Toyota Dealer Maintenance

Just back from getting my oil changed and state inspection from the Toyota Dealer. After it was done they advised me that I needed to do my 50,000 maintenance service, fuel induction service (due to rough idle) and wheel alignment.
My questions are do I need to have them due the 50,000 mile maintenance to maintain my warranty? And is the fuel induction service worth it? ( it sounds fine to me)

50,000 maintenance service $126.00
fuel induction service $190.00
wheel alignment $89.00 ...will wait until after OW2.0 is installed

I bought certified, and bought extended warranty, and feel Toyota (at least around here) tries to wiggle out of covering anything. I will probably never buy Toyota again, and would never bring my truck to Toyota for service, but that is just my 2 cents, I don't know what to tell you other than use your common sense when it comes to this stuff.

i.e. maybe get second opinion by reputable independent mechanic.

What does the manual call for at 50k service? I doubt fuel injection cleaning or an alignment is part of the deal. Sounds like they're trying to get a few $$$ outta ya.

Agree - sounds like they're trying to get some money out of you. Here's the 50k service:


Replace engine oil and oil filter
Rotate tires
Visually inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs

Additional Maintenance Items for Special Operating Conditions:

Driving While Towing:
Lubricate propeller shaft (4WD)
Re-torque propeller shaft bolt
Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis

Driving on Dirt Roads or Dusty Roads:
Inspect ball joints and dust covers
Inspect drive shaft boots (4WD)
Inspect engine air filter
Inspect steering linkage and boots
Lubricate propeller shaft (4WD)
Re-torque propeller shaft bolt
Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis

Driving on Salted Roads:
Lubricate propeller shaft (4WD)
Re-torque propeller shaft bolt


So basically $126 to rotate the tires and change the oil.

The alignment I'd definitely wait until you get your lift installed unless it's going to be a while or you really need the alignment.

The fuel induction service sounds like something similar to seafoaming your engine. Search here or google for seafoam if you're unfamiliar.
