Check your tire pressure when you receive your 2024 Tacoma

I will be asking for a copy of the PDI upon delivery.

Good ideal to ask for a copy of your PDI doc.

You're right about who does the PDI, and don't forget these are the same level techs who do your oil changes at most dealerships.

And then you have places like Pronto and Jiffy Lube.

At my last job as a service writer, we had a technician perform an oil change but forget to actually put the oil in. Another technician needed the lift and moved the car. The signal to indicate "No oil" was supposed to be an orange cone on top of the engine, but that didn't happen. The engine seized about a quarter mile down the road. They ended up replacing the engine with a used one that had fewer miles on it. I have plenty of stories like that.

I have plenty of stories like that.

I can imagine.

My wife and I were getting ready to make a 700 mile trip and she wanted to get the engine oil changed in her Infiniti suv. She always felt that it was safer than some quick change place. After we got back she left one day before me and I saw the puddle of oil on the garage floor. I called her and she called her dealer, who flat bedded the truck to their shop.

The service manager already had two theories about what had happened, because he said they had that happen all the time. In her case they put a new drain plug gasket on top of one that had stuck to the sump. He said that in 500-1,000 miles the drain plug would back out and the oil would follow. He wasn't even surprised, just curious which screw up it had been.

Her engine survived, but it could have easily died because of a simple mistake. I then remembered why I still dragged my butt under my car and truck to change the oil. I swore I was not going to do that with my Taco, but I am reconsidering.

My salesperson legit looked at me and asked, “you want them deflated? You mean inflated, right?’

“No, my guy. I want them down to 32, they’re probably at 50+ now.“

Took a while. Theyre sitting at 34 lol
