Drive Line Service. Is this really necessary? Anybody??
Ok so I took my 2013 RAV4 to its 45k service maintenance. The service guy said I need a Drive Line Service which is every 30k. Thing is, how come this was never brought up when I came for my 30k, 35k, or 40k Service maintenance? I don't think this even in the maintenance manual.
I'm asking because 2 years ago one of their service rep said something was wrong with my RAV4 and provided me with a copy-pasted pictures and info from Google. It's something around $660. I spoke to my brother and he said another service rep tried to scare him 6 years ago about some $$$$ problem and to this day, those problems we're never found. And the $660 issue he told me? Not found.
Come to think of it, seems each time my service maintenance is only $40 is when they come up with a must-do costly item!! Am I being played here again?

Got your maintenance manual that came with the car? Look it up. If it's in the maintenance guide, then the dealer isn't scamming you. If it isn't listed, then you don't need it.5 -

Yep, only way to go into the dealer for service is with a list of what is recommended in the factory service manual. Otherwise they'll flush/service/clean you to death.5
