Just called 3 Toyota dealers on the island (Victoria, Duncan and Nanaimo)to see how much the 1st servicing on the Yaris would be, and it ranged from $40 to $43 every thing(taxes, enviro fee's etc) included. It's just an oil/filter change and they check things like hoses, belts, fluids etc, but it still seems kind of steep. My figures are in Canadian $
Not including those people who get "free" servicing, what is everyone else paying.:burnrubber:

if you think thats steep wait till you blow your clutch on a yaris, i remember they quoted me $950 US on a clutch and install because its not covered under warranty
cluth is not cover under warranty???? shitty
and yeah, for those of us in toronto, servicing would be around $40 and few weeks ago you should receive a coupon that you get a free LED flash lights.

i got my flash light last week and my first service was free, the flash light is pretty cook, just crank it for a minute and you get 20 min of light.

pretty cool, not cook, or maybe it's pretty cookn'.....
one or the other
How did you get yours for free? just bargain when you get there? or you get it when you brought your car?

Last I checked, very few cars' clutches are under warranty.. They usually fall under normal wear and tear. Same as with brakes and rotors.
$950 seems fairly typical... Actually, maybe a little on the cheap side...
The question I have is how long it will last.. Hopefully, being a toyota, more than 100,000 miles if you treat it right.

the clutch on the yaris is garbage, you will be lucky to get 10k out of it
I will be upgrading mine with a clutchmasters soon after they release a stage 3 setup
guys with the scions were having problems with their clutches even after only 2000 miles, im assuming its a similar clutch disc

10,000 miles? whoa... Maybe I should reconsider then :P
edit: I really hope you typoed and meant 100k, not 10k..
If you trash even a cheapo clutch in 10,000 miles, you really gotta learn how to drive a standard, or you gotta stop using it like a racing clutch lol..

buy one and see how long a $40 clutch disc lasts...
Went for my first servicing/oil change yesterday, cost me $40 tax incld. It ain't so bad in Richmond Hill Toyota, pretty quick. I think they take longer to gimme that stupid car wash than when I was watching them changing my oil for me.
But for sure next time when I need an oil change I will drive to my buddy's garage, at least I know I will be getting quality motor oil and filter Plus a hell lot cheaper.

Snake if you are around i would love to find out if that was a typo or if it is actually 10,000 miles that you are stating... For a toyota i would have thought 100k would be more likely but 10k... wtf

So just to make sure i understand what you are saying... the clutch they use is a $40 clutch... but they want $900+ for replacement...?
