Ispektion No. 2. Scheduled service 2 year of operation. - Toyota Prius, 1.5L, 2008
On Wednesday, as planned, 09.06.10 at 16:00, I drove my car to the auto house for annual maintenance. In the workshop, together with a mechanic on a lift, we examined the car from the bottom, he asked about the problems I had to face. problems other than refueling ?!
There was no time to sit and wait for everything to be done because early in the morning at 5:00 you need to be at work, we agreed that I would pick up the car the next day at the same time.
Leaving the keys and a service book, he went home by tram.
After working on Thursday I went to pick up, the car, as agreed, is already ready and stands on the waiting area all shining (washed my dirt).
At the bureau they showed me a check for the work done, they invited a mechanic who did the maintenance, that's basically the whole story, paid the bill, received a traditional voucher for one free car wash as a gift from the auto house, thanked and went home.
Now an explanation of the cost of the check:
Diagnostics by 16 points = 109.60
Cabin filter = 11.29
O-ring on the crankcase plug = 1.01
Oil filter = 8.87
Brake fluid = 12.27
Synthetic oil 5W30 PFE 1 liter = 15.50, filled with 3.7 liters. = 57.35
Water in the washer = 5.56
Lubricant = 0.0
+ total 19% VAT
The result is understandable without translation.
Opposite each part (more precisely in front of) or consumable is a Toyota catalog number.
The service book contains a record of the passage of service, and in different places labels are glued on what was done and when the next replacement was.
Price tag: 9,500 ₽ Mileage: 25,000 km
Almost all automotive oils are of American origin, the difference is in the country of origin. Also, all gas stations and oil refineries are owned by the Americans. Oil and gasoline in the States are cheaper for another reason, they are not so loaded with additional taxes. Naturally, the quality of raw materials also affects the price because lower costs for preliminary purification from impurities, in Russian oil, for example, a large percentage of paraffin, which complicates transportation and distillation.
American oil and European oil should not be confused. American is cheaper by definition, its composition is simpler, since fuel in America is made from higher quality oil.
While the warranty will have to go to the service and then life will show, usually I do everything myself.
Here in America, Mobil 1 costs about $ 55 on the service.
if you buy oil in Valmart and change it at a service station, it will come out about $ 35! which I usually do :-D
and an hour of work $ 65-75
The oil is not expensive, the average price. A filter in a store costs about the same.
The most expensive is the cost of working time, from 35 to 50 euros per hour!
My Turan has an inspection every two years and is free for the first four years. And four years warranty. Oil filled with Shell Helix Ultra Extra - 5W30 Longlife 3.
Conveniently! It turns out where not stick around everywhere a reminder of when and what to do. Even on the license plate there is a washer or a sticker about when to undergo a technical inspection (until what date is valid) and where it is registered. When the Police stops they first look at the numbers where everything is. it is written so that in addition they do not need to look at a certificate or those passport.
civilization damn it))) but our eyes are pierced on the rights and it is immediately clear what to ask from you))))
