Toyota fixed price (discount rate for taxis) Auris Hybrid

Intermediate £120 ; Oil/filter, fluids, check brakes/lights/suspension etc. check and adjust wheel alignment.
Full £200 ; Above + pollen filter, air con recharge, air filter, hybrid system check.
Full+ £250 ; All above + Flush and change coolant, flush and change brake fluid, new spark plugs/HT leads.

Lots of other little things they do at each service like renewing certain seals and washers. No belts to worry about, the car gets washed and valeted each time and they give a voucher for a free meal at the nearby cafe if you wait whilst its done. Or they'll collect and return at no extra cost.
And free lifetime puncture repairs.

All for nearly half the price of your local independant!

Just changed the front pads myself today for the first time at 50k (£30), in 18 months it's had 4 services, 2 headlight bulbs, 1 set of wipers and two front tyres. Total cost about £850 (£690 of that for the servicing to keep the warranty)

The price is 'all in'. I've only listed the major service items, you can check the full list here (click the more tab above each price to see the list of items checked) https://www.toyota.co.uk/caring-for-you ... cing.json# Mostly the same as yours I bet, how much would you pay without the water pump and cambelt ?
