Hello:

My 2007 Toyota RAV4 cranks for a long time before it starts on the initial start then seems to start easier after that.

I was scheduling the 60K maintenance and didn't see a tune up in the maint manual at 60K. Is there one at 60K?

The dealer wants $189 for oil etc and $120 form the tune up. Are these fair prices?

Thank you,
Dave

Would you recommend just changing the spark plugs or?

Thank you,
Dave

Check and test the coolant temperature sensor its job is to enrich the fuel during cold starts if okay do an oil/filter change and replace the plugs yourself-Prices varies with locations-
