this is the first time na narinig ko ito, maybe sa toyota pasong tamo lang itong ganito, unless standard na sa lahat ng toyota casas..

6 months na ang Innova ko, but have not received anything of this sort from Toyota Commonwealth.

Is it totally free or just one way of getting you go back the casa?
If its Free wow! sana ganyan din toyota balintawak.
One more thing did u have rustproof from the dealer?

I just rotated my tires myself. Medyo mahirap pero okay lang as I already experienced how to change tires just in case na ma-flat (hope it wouldn't happen). As for the tirenapping, it is possible to steal the spare tire by just cutting the chain.

it says on the inspection certificate in bold letters "SEMI-ANNUAL CHECK-UP AND RETOUCH" as provided in my vehicle's rust-free maintenance program. and to think that I did not even opted for any extra rustproofing as my agent never asked me. I'll give them a call later today and ask if it's only their dealership who's doing this or the other dealers might have "forgotten" about this check. I'll keep you guys posted.

AFAIK, that is NOT part of the standard Toyota vehicle maintenance program. check your manual.

when I got my Rav4, I also found a rustproofing maintenance checklist from a 3rd party. yes, the first check-up / retouch is free (heck... what will you retouch on undercoating that is just 6 months old?). but they will hook you up on unnecessary undercoating / rustproofing maintenance schemes (like you have to go there every 6 months for underwash, rustproof treatment, etc).

j_avonni, ilang km's na natatakbo mo? Sa akin 7K pa lang, can I rotate my tires now?

usually magro-rotate ka lng ng tires para pantay ang pagka-upod ng gulong.

to check kng pantay yng upod ng gulong mo sa front & rear, kuha ka ng toothpick, check mo yng kapal ng thread ng tires mo sa front & compare it sa likod. kng more than 3 milimeters yng difference, it is time to rotate ur tires.

also, here's another way para malaman mo kng kailangan mo na mag rotate & at the same time, magpa-align...
1. basain mo yng mga gulong mo sa front, specifically sa thread sa taas & remove foreign objects using a brush (dirt, bato, buhangin, soil, or jerbs hehehe :D)
2. place ur palm on top of the tire, touching the thread.
3. i-move mo yng hand mo going-in to engine without lifting ur hand sa thread ng tires. kng makinis (smooth, without sharp edges), ok pa ang wheel alignment mo. kng magaspang, have ur wheels aligned.
4. repeat step 3 pero palayo naman ng engine yng hand mo (going-out), still touching the thread. kng magaspang, pa-check mo na alignment mo.

tapos sa tire rotation, either i-interchange mo lng yng 2 rear sa 2 front tires...
OR yng spare tire mo ilagay mo sa front (either driver or passenger side) kc yun yng may makapal na thread. yng 2 old front tires ilipat mo both sa likod. yng 1 sa old rear tire ilagay mo sa harap, tapos yng isa naman sa spare.

remember always na kng anong tires yng nilagay mo sa front, have it balanced first para hindi mag vibrate yng steering wheel mo during high speeds.
