How long does Toyota free maintenance last?
In most markets, ToyotaCare, Toyota's complimentary maintenance plan, lasts for two years or 25,000 miles—whichever comes first. This coverage is designed to cover routine maintenance at no cost when performed by authorized Toyota dealerships.
Beyond that quick answer, the program covers routine factory-scheduled maintenance and includes additional benefits such as roadside assistance during the coverage period. The exact terms can vary by region and model, so it’s important to confirm with your local dealer and consult your vehicle’s manual for your specific terms.
What ToyotaCare Free Maintenance Covers
The following list outlines the routine services typically included at no charge during the coverage period.
- Oil and filter changes, as prescribed in the owner's manual.
- Tire rotations to promote even wear and maximize tire life.
- Multi-point inspections to check key systems, fluids, and wear items.
- 24-hour roadside assistance during the coverage period.
These services are performed at participating Toyota dealerships and are intended to align with the factory maintenance schedule for your vehicle's model and year. This coverage is separate from the basic warranty and is limited to the two-year/25,000-mile window.
Duration, Start Date, and Regional Variations
Before listing the specifics, here is how duration and regional terms generally work and where they can differ.
- Duration: 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- Start date: The coverage begins on the vehicle’s purchase date and remains active through the period or mileage limit, as applicable.
- Regional variations: The exact terms can vary by country or market; the United States commonly follows the 2-year/25,000-mile rule, but some regions may have different promotions or requirements—always check local terms with your dealer.
- End of coverage: After expiration, maintenance services can be paid out-of-pocket or through extended service plans offered by Toyota or the local dealer, if available.
For precise terms, verify with your local Toyota dealer and review your vehicle’s owner’s manual, as there can be exceptions by model, trim, or promotional period.
Important caveats
Not all wear items or non-scheduled maintenance are included. Tires, brakes, batteries due to normal wear, wiper blades, and certain cosmetic or non-maintenance items are typically excluded unless specifically covered under a regional promotion. All services must be performed by authorized Toyota service centers to qualify for the plan.
Summary
ToyotaCare’s complimentary maintenance for new Toyota vehicles typically lasts two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, and commonly includes oil and filter changes, tire rotations, multipoint inspections, and 24-hour roadside assistance when serviced at authorized dealerships. Regions can vary, so always confirm the exact terms with your local dealer and consult your owner’s manual for your vehicle’s specific coverage.
