The brand began offering complimentary maintenance plans this spring as part of its seasonal sales programmes. Both plans are now standard on new-vehicle purchases across the Toyota and Scion line-up.
 
Both plans cover all normal factory-recommended maintenance services outlined in each vehicle’s owners manual, which includes oil and filter changes, tyre rotations, lubrication of key chassis parts/components, a 19-point inspection and 24-hour roadside assistance such as lockout protection, flat tyres, towing and jump starts. Additional details will be available through Toyota & Scion dealers. 
 
The Toyota Care programme will be supported by an ad campaign from Toyota’s advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi.

Scion Service Boost will be supported through a variety of marketing and media outlets through Scion’s marketing partners.

Last week, Toyota Motor Engineering and Manufacturing North America (TEMA) said it had had not found a single case in which the vehicle’s electronic throttle control system would lead to unintended acceleration but had nonetheless broadened the scope of its on-site Swift Market Analysis Response Teams (SMART) evaluation process following an 80% drop in complaints of unexpected acceleration since April 2010.
