T
o help you get started with regular maintenance, Scion provides your vehicle’s
5,000 mile and 10,000 mile factory-recommended maintenance services on a
complimentary basis. While these complimentary factory-recommended maintenance
services do not have to be performed at exactly 5,000 miles and 10,000 miles, the
complimentary services must be performed within 16 months or 14,000 miles
(whichever occurs first) of your vehicle’s original in-service date. It is important to note
that these services are not meant to be used for maintenance service on or after
15,000 miles. If you bought your Scion used and the previous owner did not use both of
the complimentary maintenance services, you are entitled to the remaining
complimentary maintenance service or services if your car is still within 16 months or
14,000 miles of its original in-service date.
To obtain a complimentary maintenance service, call a Scion dealership or
participating Toyota dealership to make an appointment. The dealership will verify that
the service was performed by completing one of the boxes on the inside back cover of
this booklet.
Complimentary maintenance services include change of engine oil, oil filter and drain
plug gasket, rotating tires and visually inspecting brake linings/drums and brake
pads/discs only. You are responsible for the cost of any other services performed at the
time of your complimentary maintenance services.
