Hey everyone! I’ve got a 2019 Tundra (Limited, 2x4) nearing 120,000 miles, and my local dealership gave me a quote of $950 for the recommended service. The previous owner took good care of it and followed the maintenance schedule. I’ve had the truck since 85K miles and have kept up with the oil changes. Now I’m looking to make sure I’m doing everything right to keep it running smoothly for a long time.
I have a few questions for those with experience:
What exactly should I expect from the 120K service?
Are there any tasks I could do myself to save some money? I’ve been doing oil changes myself every 5K miles and I’m fairly handy with other stuff.
Does the $950 quote from the dealership sound fair, or could a trusted local shop do it for less?
Since I plan to keep the truck for a while, are there any additional maintenance items I should think about that go beyond the 120K recommendations?
Any advice or experiences would be really helpful! Thanks a lot!
The Tundra is great for DIY work! At 100K, I’d recommend these:
Change the oil and filter every 10K max
Change the diff fluid (it smells horrible, though!)
Change the transfer case fluid
Change the transmission fluid
Flush the antifreeze
Flush the brake fluid
Test/update the battery
Replace the serpentine belt
Do the brake pads and rotors yourself, it’ll save you a lot of money (I’ve saved over $1K on multiple brake jobs).
Learning to do oil changes, brake work, and fluid changes on your own can save you thousands in the long run. With a few tools and YouTube, you’ll be able to handle it and get another 100K miles easy. Trust me, it’s worth it!

Yep, I paid around $1,100 at my local shop for my 2010 Tacoma with 150K miles. I’m not very handy with car repairs, so I had to go with the shop. But yeah, OP, you’re pretty close with that quote.
I honestly don’t get why people don’t check their owner’s manual for what should be done at different mileages. It’s part of being a responsible car owner.
