About the Prado
The Toyota Prado (4×4 wagon) is a sensible, well-built 4×4 wagon that’s cheap to keep healthy — provided the servicing is done properly and on schedule.
Our Toyota servicing uses the correct manufacturer-spec parts and oils for the Prado, with honest advice and dealer-level diagnostics, typically well under dealer pricing.
Common Prado service points
The things we keep an eye on with the Prado: regular oil and filter services, the diesel engine and DPF/EGR care, the transmission, transfer-case and diff fluids, and suspension under load. None of these are alarming on a Prado — they’re just the items worth keeping an eye on.
You get a clear explanation of what the Prado needs and a fixed written quote before any work.
Servicing your Prado & keeping the warranty
You don’t have to return to the Toyota dealer to protect your warranty: Australian Consumer Law lets an independent do your logbook servicing with the correct parts, and we stamp the book so your Prado’s warranty stays intact.
