The cost of maintaining a Toyota car can vary depending on a number of factors, including:

Here's a high-level overview of Toyota vehicle maintenance costs:

Remember that the best way to keep your car maintenance costs low is to stick to the recommended maintenance schedule and address any potential issues as soon as they arise. This can help to avoid more costly repairs in the future.
 
Oh men, those price you mentioned are very expensive, in my country the price of timing belt for a Toyota 2lt with turbocharger without hand it coast 5000 ETB which is around $90, with the mechanic the price will reach $100, but the engine repair price depends on the problem and the parts needed.

Are you using an authorized Toyota service center, if not, there is a big need for this because it will determine the durability of your vehicle and the resale price if need be. Always use a certified centre. It's clear you can get this cheaper somewhere else.

The Toyota MOENCO is the authorized Toyota service center, but believe me their maintenance price is pretty huge, only government office and very wealthy peoples go there.
 
Those prices sound so expensive. But yes, it would definitely depend on the geographical location. With our experience, we can say that Toyota vehicles with little care ( regular servicing) and careful driving can be a cost effective one when it comes to their maintenance. Yes, in case of untoward instances like an accident, it can be a bomb on the pocket.
Here in India, most Toyota showrooms give free service for the first two to three years.
 
You won't incur costs of maintenance at that level if you take care of your Toyota very well. You just need to do servicing at the specified time. My mom used her Toyota for 18 months without any need for major repairs that were cumulatively up to $12.
 
I would say that the cost of maintenance of Toyota is pretty reasonable. And one saves good amount on fuel too as it gives excellent mileage and is a fuel efficient car. If you are a good driver and you take care of your car on a regular basis, regular servicing is good enough to keep it in excellent condition for years. We have Toyota for almost ten years now and it's been an economical car to have
 
Toyota cars are the most easiest to maintain car brands in the whole world. They have a robust distribution network to ensure that their parts are available in every nook and cranny of the world.

Toyota itself is not a cheap brand, it is a premium brand at least in my opinion, so maintenance costs are not going to be low in most cases.
