Review of Boch Toyota

Came in for an offer of a $49 "special" oil change. They also recommended tire rotation as part of "routine" maintenance for another $29.

The service adviser then told me that my serpentine belt needed replacement, my fuel injectors needed cleaning, and the car should have wheel alignment. He also showed me the dirty cabin air filter and engine air filter; and said that they also needed to be replaced.

I refused the suggested repairs except for the filter replacements; I have no idea how clean or dirty they should be on a 5 year old Corolla with only 45K miles. So I spent another $100+ for new filters.

After the routine maintenance and filter replacement and a $17 disposal fee, I left with a bill of over $240 dollars. I'm not sure if anything of their other recommendations are or will be necessary, or it's just them trying to upsell repairs, but I'll be sure to check with an independent mechanic rather than return to Boch for service
