Hey everybody!
I am coming up on the 1,200 mile mark, meaning my recommended break in period is almost up. I scheduled an appointment at my local Toyota dealership to get an oil change done prematurely to the recommended first service at 5,000 miles. I know that to some, this may be unnecessary but I'd rather play it safe and swap out the oil in case there are any metal particles from the initial break in floating around.
This brought up some questions I have for you all:
First, Is there anything else I should have them do/look at at this 1,200 mile service besides swap the oil?
Second, In addition to that, since the car is mostly a BMW, but since Toyota Care is free and covers 2 years, 25,000 miles, I plan to continue taking the car to Toyota dealerships in my area for the scheduled maintenance services to be done by a certified Supra tech. But after that 2 year/25,000 miles is up, do you guys still bring your Supra's to Toyota dealerships for service or do you take them to BMW dealerships? I'm assuming service/maintenance costs are cheaper at Toyota than they would be at a BMW dealership. The Toyota dealerships in my area only seem to have 1 technician each that is Supra/BMW certified and I don't want to run the risk of having a Toyota technician screwing something up because they weren't properly trained on the BMW aspects of the Supra.
Sorry in advance if this is dumb and overthinking on my part....I have just never owned a vehicle that was made by a different manufacturer and I love the Supra and just want to do everything right to take care of it.
Thanks in advance for the responses.
