sirko is right.
"just the essentials."
the owner's manual lists down the essentials.
if it ain't in that list, respectfully decline the product or procedure. "next time na lang. wala sa budget, e." no one can argue with that.

diesel?
i have them do only the oil change and oil filter change.
mineral oil lang, not synthetic.
i have oil change every 5000 km, naman kasi.
my bill doesn't go beyond 5000 kesos.

and when the warranty ran out, sa gas station nako nagpapa-change oil. 2500 kesos lang. no waiting pa. everything finished in less than an hour.

our Oil burner Innova, lagi sinasabi ng Service advisor that we need to decarbon the car every 5k or 10k daw kasi kung hinde mag low power daw yun makina at masisira yun turbo.

it doesnt comes cheap ha. nasa 3500 ata or 4500 if i remember it correctly. we had did it on 20k then after that wala na. lagi sinasabi ng SA na need daw de carbon to clean the engine daw. when we do the decarbon at 20k mark mabaho pa din naman amoy ng tambutso.... haha

my oil burner has over 130K km on the odometer.
i haven't yet availed of any non-basic maneuver or product that the casa offered.
it runs fine, still.

The service advisor gets commission for every optional service they do.

If i was the service advisor, i'd tell all my customers they need an decarb every time they go to thr casa

nananakot pa ang SA. mag low power daw yun engine pag hinde na decarb every 10k. nung nag 30k nga noon hiniritan nanaman ako ng decarb. sabi ko ganyan ba kahina ang toyota engines at kelangan i decarb every 10k, hinde makapag salita. kaya nung 40k na yun car ako nalang nag pa gawa sa labas ng palit lahat ng fluids and change to FS oil.

pero kahit ganun ang casa madami pa din nag papa gawa sa kanila lalo mga naka vios and wigo. kitang kita na sila sa service palang grabe.

Yung aircare ata is yung no baklas ng dashboard na cleaning ng evaporator. Nag iniquire ako sa Toyota Mindanao Ave parang aabot ng 8k sa Fortuner na front lang. Pag ka alam ko is bubutasan siguro nila para maipasok yung sprayer hose na may camera para makita yung evaporator while bubugahan ng cleaning angent para malinis siya.

Nakapag pagawa na ko ng ganitong style ng cleaning ng aircon sa CBV motors a few years agon on my Santa Fe nasa 2k lang charge for front evaporator cleaning.

my opinion,
don't let them open your aircon, if it still cools fine, regardless of age.
just clean or replace your filter regularly. a clogged or dirty filter, is a common reason why the aircon doesn't seem to cool the cabin as fast, anymore.

Yes mine is diesel also. Mas ok ba na mineral nalang na every 5km over full synthetic na every 10Km (once a year)?

4hrs rin waiting time to get car serviced as casa. 730am-1130am.

FS versus mineral.
10,000 km interval vs. 5000 km interval.
$$$ versus $$.
do the math, boys.
don't forget to put a price tag on "inconvenience".
