The basic maintenance of a 2019 Corolla cost R$ 505 and included an oil change, filters, tire rotation, and air conditioning cleaning, while the sedan with 90 thousand km driven was put up for sale for R$ 105 thousand.
Based on a video published on the Carros com Tiago channel, the basic maintenance of a 2019 Toyota Corolla cost R$ 505, a value that included an oil change, filters, tire rotation, air conditioning cleaning, and checking simple items. The content was presented as a practical reference for those considering buying this model and wanting to understand how much the most common preventive maintenance service costs.
Oil and filter change opened the service
The first step shown was the removal of the oil filter and the draining of the old engine lubricant. During the disassembly, the removed filter still appeared to be in reasonable condition, with no visible signs of excessive wear, but the decision was made for an early replacement.
The justification for this was the frequent use of the car within the city, a condition that may require greater attention in maintenance even when the mileage does not yet indicate an immediate need. The drained oil also caught attention for still being relatively clean, without a very dark appearance.

Without a category A driver’s license, without a minimum age of 21, and without two years of licensing: a new Provisional Measure from the government allows any Brazilian aged 18 to become a motorcycle courier or motorcycle taxi driver with just an Authorization to Drive a Moped on a 50cc motorcycle.
After this step, the Corolla received a new filter and new oil, completing the central part of the basic maintenance. The procedure was treated as essential to maintain the regular functioning of the engine and avoid premature wear over time.
Fuel filter and tire rotation were included in the package
In addition to the oil and oil filter, the service also included the replacement of the fuel filter. This item appeared as part of the package performed at the workshop, expanding the review beyond the most immediate basic engine needs.
Another procedure carried out during the same service was the tire rotation. The information presented was that the set had about 10 thousand kilometers since the last change, and the rear tires were in better condition than the front ones.
Thus, the rotation was done to equalize the wear between the wheels and increase the durability of the set. The proposal was simple: to make the tires “wear evenly,” increasing the total mileage they can still deliver.
Air conditioning cleaning was also performed
The Corolla also underwent air conditioning cleaning during the visit to the workshop. The process was done with the unit on, the engine running, and the system operating for about half an hour, the time indicated in the video to complete the cleaning.
In addition to this procedure, the workshop also checked complementary items of the car, such as the windshield washer fluid. The general check was presented as part of the routine care that accompanies this type of basic maintenance.
2019 Corolla announced for R$ 105 thousand
When showing the final budget, the video detailed that the total spent was R$ 505. This amount included everything that was done to the car during its time in the workshop, including filters, engine oil, and other services performed.
The vehicle shown is a 2019 Toyota Corolla with 90,000 kilometers driven and announced for R$ 105 thousand. The presentation made in the video reinforces the idea that, after this service, the next owner would only need to refuel and drive, using the cost of basic maintenance as an argument for those considering the purchase of the sedan.
