Meet The Toyota Innova Owners Who Have Completed 10 Lakh Trouble-Free Kms [Video]
Toyotas are known for their reliability and comparatively low cost of maintenance. In the past, we have seen several videos of Toyota car owners who have shared their experiences with the vehicles. Most of them are happy with the product and service. Here we have two Innova customers who have driven their cars for more than 10 lakh km since they bought them.
The first video is from Nippon Toyota, which is a big Toyota dealer in Kerala. The customer is using a 2009 Innova, and he has been using the car as an airport taxi. Since the day he bought it, the car has been used extensively, and earlier this year he completed the 10 lakh km milestone in his Innova.
From the video, it is clear that the owner takes good care of the car. There are no major dents or scratches visible on it. The car looks clean both on the outside and inside. The owner has been doing the service at an authorised service center ever since he bought it. He services the car every 10,000 km and mentions that he has been getting good support from the team as well.
These services are economical too, and that is one reason why he always goes back to the authorised service center. He is a big-time Toyota fan and apart from the Innova, he also owns a couple of Innova Crystas, used to own a Toyota Etios, and also has another Innova in his collection.
The video is all about celebrating the customer’s milestone. The dealership staff celebrated the occasion with a cake. As he has been servicing the car at the authorised center, he has not faced any issues with the vehicle till now. He says that even today, the vehicle feels new. He has driven other people’s Innova MPVs that are serviced outside, but they don’t feel the same.
The next video is also from Kerala and is posted by Walk With Neff on their YouTube channel. In this video, the vlogger speaks to the owner of a Toyota Innova from Kerala’s Kannur district. The Innova seen here is actually a taxi with 10 lakh km on the odometer, and that is the reason why the owner managed to clock so many kilometers on this vehicle.
The owner mentions in the video that he takes good care of all his vehicles, but the Innova is slightly closer to his heart. He talks about the maintenance and service routine. He relied on showroom services up to 7 lakh km, after which he switched to a local workshop managed by a former Toyota technician.
Although he has moved to a local workshop, he still relies on genuine Toyota parts and has only been saving on the labour cost. Just like the first video, the owner gets it serviced every 10,000 km.
According to the owner, his driving style allows the brake pads to last up to 1 lakh km. Tyres typically last between 70,000 to 80,000 km, and he prefers using Yokohama, with each tyre priced at around ₹6,500. The timing belt costs ₹3,500, and getting it fitted at the local garage has helped him manage expenses effectively. He also mentions that the clutch on his Innova usually lasts for about 2.5 lakh km.
The owner mentions that the only major issue he faced with the vehicle was when it used to get stalled. An authorised center told him that it could be because of a faulty fuel pump. Even after replacing the component, the issue continued. The owner then got the vehicle inspected and tested at a local workshop, where they told him that the issue was due to a faulty wiring kit.
Once he replaced the wiring kit, the issue got resolved. The issue occurred mainly because the owner had installed aftermarket lights. This was probably not done properly, which created problems.
