Congratulations on picking up your new Toyota.
Keeping up with regular servicing is the best way to protect your investment, maintain performance, and ensure your vehicle stays safe and reliable for years to come.
At Sunshine Toyota, we help local drivers across Currimundi, Sippy Downs and the wider Sunshine Coast make servicing simple, transparent, and stress free.
Quick Answer: How often should you service your Toyota?
Most Toyota models in Australia should be serviced every:
- 12 months or 15000 km
- or every 6 months or 10000 km for heavy duty vehicles like Hilux, Prado and LandCruiser
- whichever comes first
Always follow your logbook servicing schedule to protect your warranty and ensure optimal performance.

Regular servicing helps to:
- Maintain fuel efficiency and performance
- Keep you and your passengers safe
- Identify issues before they become costly repairs
