Pressure Flush To Clean Fuel Injectors
Throttle Body Service
Brake Fluid/Transmission Fluid Flush and Refill

Just wondering has anyone done those servise on their celica yet??

i went to dealer for my 30000 miles service today and dealer told me i need to do the throttle body service and also clean the fuel injector, so those two was $180 on top of $400 for the 30000mi service = $580!!!
They also recommand i do the brake fluid/transmission fluid service soon, so that's like another $150 in the near future for me. :(
Has anybody done those service like me besides the regular maintenance??

Don't get it, you'll get rip off bad. For the fuel injection cleaner, just buy a good quality FUEL SYSTEM cleaner from your local auto-part store. Something like STP, Chevron, bascially the $10 bottle. Do not buy the cheap $2-$4 fuel injection cleaner only.

The throttle body cleaner, samething, buy a throttle body cleaner spray from your local auto-part store. Take off the airbox from the throttle body and spray some ofthe TB cleaner into the throttle body. Very simple.

The transmission fluid is also simple, jack up the car, there is only one nut on the bottom. If you can't do it, take it to your local auto part store, they can do it for like $25.

from what i hear though, those cleaners don't do jack.

You need to get them professionally cleaned, however, the dealership charges up the ass. with that price u can buy new fuel injectors. I would recommend going to a local shop.

THEY WORK. If you every had a clog fuel filter or injector, pour a bottle of the good stuff in and it will work. Any place that tells you it doesn't work is lying their ass off and just wants you to spend the $60 for the quote and quote "pressuize fuel injection cleaning" <-- big BULL and a rip.
