ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Introduction
Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying your dealership’s new car customers.
Customer feedback indicates the following areas deserve special attention when performing PDS:
• Careful inspection for paint chips/scratches and body dents/dings.
• Proper operation of electrical accessories (including interior light, clock, and radio reset).
• Interior cleanliness.
• Proper function of mechanical systems.
Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles has been a major focus for Toyota. To help
remind customers that regular oil changes are essential to the proper maintenance of their vehicle,
dealers are required to begin installing a first oil change reminder sticker prior to delivery. By doing
this, customers will be reminded to return to your dealership for their first oil change. Your current
oil change reminder sticker may be used. (See PDS Check Sheet item 8 of “Final Inspection
& Cleaning.”)
A new PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2015 model year Highlander and
Highlander HV. Some check points have been added, expanded, or clarified. Bulletins are
available for items in bold.
Warranty Policy
If the need for additional repairs or adjustment is noted during PDS, the required service should be
performed under warranty. Reimbursement will be managed under the warranty policy.
The Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual requires that you maintain the completed PDS
Check Sheet in the customer’s file. If you cannot produce a completed form for each retailed
vehicle upon TMS and/or Region/Distributor audit, the PDS payment amount will be subject to debit.
An additional Repair Order completed in conjunction with normal PDS must have time punch/flags
for service. If multiple repairs are performed, separate time flags must be punched for each repair.
