I’m curious about the rodent repellent treatment as well. Did my 1K oil change (one tech seemed to think I was nuts) but they showed a picture of a nest. No damage except to a piece of fabric. I suspect it happened when the first owners let it sit for a month before flipping it. But I also know friends who had their Subaru totaled because it’s got lots of soy products that attract rodents. I didn’t think this was an issue on Toyotas.

We are rural in the this area of NorCal. there are rodent problems in vehicles often.
Ths Toyota dealer offers a wire in high frequency box they say works and a spray on peppermint repellent which i optioned for. The spray on is good for 90 days. I have not read the warranty if any yet.
I also treat the indoor parking areas and salt with pellets. The solid killer traps from AMZ are most satisfying and final.

Thanks. That’s good to know. I bought a high-frequency box from Amazon. I confident this occurred when the first owner let it sit before flipping it. We’ve never had issues with our other vehicles at home or in the country, but I might opt for the spray.

Oil change service at Toyota in Canada is $100 CAD, or around $72 USD. One advantage of a lower displacement engine!

I did the 20,000 mile “Service B” on my Mercedes GLC 300 Coupe a couple weeks ago. It’s essentially an oil change, some filters, inspections, etc. Nothing crazy. $1,100.

Went out the next day and put a deposit down on a Land Cruiser. Not doing another Mercedes service at that cost.

Yes that is nuts! Our other vehicle is a BMW and it's the same issue on cost for PM's. We still are in the "freebie" new car complimentary oil changes but soon that will be over and the beatings start...

Pretty much on par with the greatest dealership in the world here in NorCal.
Well worth it on these new vehicles vs the local idiot shops.

Don’t underestimate the rodents! I’ll be getting my 2024 LC 1958 back soon after squirrels caused $15k in damage. I drive it every day and I drove it earlier in the day the damage occurred, so they don’t always wait for it to be sitting for an extended period. Full replacement of the engine and hybrid system wiring harnesses, plus a few hoses. The squirrels love the soy-based wires.

They had chewed up the wires in my son’s Nissan Rogue early last year and, after $2k in repairs, I installed two ultrasonic/strobe boxes and hit everything with peppermint spray every couple of weeks. It worked great until they chewed through the main fuel line a week ago. Our neighbor’s truck got totaled by their insurance company after squirrel damage that was too expensive to be worth fixing (at least in their opinion). The squirrels are cute, as long as they stay away from the vehicles.
