No small print and confirmed with dealer and plan received as 4 services, the safety check is as it states a safety check not a service.
it is seemingly a deal that Arnold Clark has in place for new sales.
Had questioned it at the time, just received the plan and it is clearly 4 services in the 4 year period for GR Yaris.

If that's two intermediate services and two full services plus the £200 for four safety checks, it's cheap..... Or they've got it wrong.
The intermediate has just seen a price increase.

Will be two intermediate and two full, expect to pay for some of the safety checks that are not being carried out at a service.

 

Would not worry about cost looks like they think car needs service annually rather than every 6000 miles 4 years 4 services
Or have you said you will only do 6000 a year ?

It's worded to cover 4 services, could be say 6000,12000,18000,24000 or year 1,2,3,4
Either way I am hoping they don't try and be smart - confirmed by e mail and on service plan.
Have followed up again with them and sent the service plan on previous page, will see what they come back with.

 

Watching with interest as I remember you are also dealing with AC Aberdeen, I have been offered a plan but the email says "we can do the first 4 services ( remember this car has a 6 month interval ) for £569" which sounds to me like he means a 2 year plan

 

Had a quote from listers for 793 for 3 years servicing. 2 inters one full and checkups. It's about 50 cheaper than Toyota online so worth giving them a ring and having a haggle.

 

For those who got there GRY in 2020, has any one had there 6 month inspection, quoted £50, what does it entail and does the service book get stamped, if not is it worth it?

 

@Tr1cky posted this up the other day.
I would check with your dealer about missing the safety checks, as this may invalidate your warranty.

Don’t think that’s correct service intervals are 6000 miles
interim inspections are every 6 months regards less of mileage
you have 1st service at 12 months or 12000 that’s wrong
this is why they are saying the interim inspection would be free if done at same time as servicing ie 6000 miles
services are 6000 miles small service 12000 big service 18000 small service 24000 big service etc etc

I had my 1st "GR" safety check done today, got changed 30 even though I was quoted 50, told they don't stamp the service book for safety inspection but I did get a paper check sheet..... Don't seem like any body at Toyota dealerships are on the same page......

 

Hang on so not paying or doing the £50 service check doesn’t void warranty?

I think the UK is the only country with the 6 month check anyway. Here it's just normal service intervals.

I just passed 4000km after 5 months so I'll most likely get the 10k service done early anyway.

 

Seems to be a lot of conflicting comments haha, most places do free health checks anyways I don't understand why I was told every 6 months its 50 quid if not getting a service, surely if it didn't matter they would say recommend you bring it in every 6 months for free?

 

Replace spark plugs every 60,000 miles.

In VW the were every 40tkm?

 

I was offered a service plan with the health check at every 3000 miles, which seemed somewhat excessive. It's even more excessive if you need to have it carried out to maintain the warranty. I'd have though 6000 miles or a year should really be sufficient.

Has anyone had confirmation from Toyota on whether you "need" to carry out the safety check?

 

It exists - future buyers will view it in the same way as a FSH. Less than a tank of fuel - just don't think about it…..

 

It’s quite comical the different things people are hearing.

It won't be when u need the warranty for a £5k fix in 8 years time and Toyota say no due to saving a couple of hundred quid. You would then have to spend a few more £k on lawyers to argue that 'recommended' does not mean 'mandatory' in a court. It's less than a tank of fuel - just play the game….

 

No not particularly - I agree every dealer has a different view. But far too much faith being given to verbal agreements or chats with the dealer etc. If the warranty is needed years down the line those chats are often forgotten and the person who said it long gone. For what it’s worth I do think that recommended and mandatory are two very different things…. But it’s not worth the arguments in the future

I think you and I are on the same side here then I think a lot of people think that "recommended" means "don't need to but would be nice"

These are our cars which we own and do with as we wish, nothing is "mandatory" other than paying £34k to Toyota, but if you want a warranty I'd do as they recommend.

 

When I ordered mine I made a point of asking are service intervals every 6 thou as always change oil/filter every 6k on all previous cars...

 

Always worth discussing with your dealer and negotiate on service costs, plans and safety checks.

 

I will be a "high mile nutter" as someone alluded to earlier in the thread, had it 10 days and over 1100 miles done...

I am hoping to get the safety check thrown in as a good will gesture, but i am confused by conflicting information from dealers and the fact that a recommended check does not come with paperwork and stamp particularly if they charge £50/30 for it... and Toyota GB allegedly say it is required for warranty purposes...

 

I got paperwork of the check and it's quite comprehensive.
A couple of days later the App was updated by TGB.
Any work through the workshops has been added along the way to be fair. So the system can work.

 

I won't be waiting around for the 15 min safety check, I'll be booking the courtesy car to razz around in all day.

 

You might get lucky and drive past your own car that's getting razzed around ?

 

MyT tells me that my GR Yaris is due first service at 9,999 miles. Dealership confirmed this is correct. Perhaps they have extended the service intervals.

 

No, it's not correct. Neither is your dealer.

It's 6,000 miles, or 12 months (whichever comes first).

 

It was reported to Toyota GB back in November 2020.
As we know nothing happened in 2020.

 

Toyota really need to update the service intervals on the app. (And educate there dealers)

How many owners arent on owners groups/FB pages etc and have seen on the app that its every 9,999. Imagine the bun fight if someone in good faith doesnt service their GR until 9,988 miles then they have mechanical issues.

 

Can the safety check be done at the 6k service?

 

Yes if that is every 6 months.

They check quite a bit, mine had multiple bits of attention. It does also go on the record.

 

Oh god I'm so confused by the service intervals! ?‍♂ the attachment in the first post for the checkboxes shows: every "6months/6k miles" or "1year/6k miles" or "1year/12k miles" - I will hit 6 months before the 6k miles but would this imply it's a service or safety check? I'm assuming it's an intermediate service and then a full service at 1 year? Then when would I get a service/safety check after that? I'm not a high mileage-r so assuming I'd follow the every 6 month service? Any help appreciated!

 

I can get the confusion. I'll be in a similar boat.

I don't know if a safety check is basically just a service minus actually replacing fluids and parts.

The way I read it is that they want to see the car every six months, if you're not doing 6000 miles a year, but every year will be a service and that the service and safety check will coincide.

I with they'd rather just said they want safety checks every six months, and one of them is included in the service per year.

Effectively that's what the mileage limit does (every 6k miles, you get a safety check and service)

I don't know if anyone has actually asked Toyota if the service actually also counts as a safety check, because that would make it slightly more bearable. For example, if you do 9000 miles a year, after six months you'll only have done 4500 miles, but hit the six month safety check, but 2 months later you'll hit the service interval on miles.... in 4 more months, you'll hit the safety check again, if it doesn't reset at service and give you another six months.

-edit-
mailed my rep, see what he says.

 

I have checked my floor Mats are correctly fitted, replaced the exhaust, wheels and tyres - so far, so good ?

 

@Sam thanks, that's useful to know. I figured it probably meant that, judging by the guidelines... but they are still confusingly worded.

 

Stop the personal attacks and trolling.

It's not productive and it's against forum rules.
