what are you talking about? I don't know of one shop in my shit as town of Toledo that changes oil, that the minimun is sinthetic blend, and full synthetic is avalible everywhere..... what island do you live on where there is no synthetic oil?

The throttle body service is an easy DIY. Air filter sensor??? Do they mean mass airflow sensor (MAF) cleaning? This can also be done yourself... Just research it, their both very easy with the correct cleaners.

Dude, most shops in my area use conventional oil by default as well as the cheapest filters known to man. Engine problems ARE their bread and butter you know. 3000 mile conventional oil changes are also money in the bank for them.

Dude, there are repairs shops out here that do oil change + filter for like $10-$15, use the cheapest brands they can find to drive in business for other repair work in the future. Kioshi and I live in Cali, i am sure we have a good supply of synthetic oils on hand at these repair shops, but thats where they get you they price synthetic oils as if they were liquid gold. Toyota Dealerships out here are the same $20-$30 oil changes and they use conventional oils, we should all move to toledo for the royal treatment

, but back to the question at hand, most of the repairs they offer are an easy way to get some money from you, i would go to a good repair shop and pay half the price, for the same service they are recommending.

Like Pavel said, if it isn't in the maintenance schedlue that came with your car originally, then it simply can't void your warranty. There are two maintenance schedules: the Toyota one, written by and for Toyota, which will preserve the life of your car, and then there is the dealership's recommendations, which are specifically designed to ilk your hard-earned cash away from you. There is nothing that your dealership can do as long as you follow the Toyota factory maintenance recommendations. Easy as pie.
