Introduction

Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying our 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.

The PDS process helps identify potential vehicle concerns before customer delivery. After
completing the PDS process, maintain accurate PDS records by ensuring the required documents
listed below are completed and recorded in accordance with Toyota Warranty Policy.
•

GTS+ Health Check

•

Completed PDS Check Sheet

•

Battery Charge Test Print Out

•

GTS+ Tire Pressure Information

Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles are and have always been a major focus
for Toyota. To help remind customers that regular service is essential to the proper maintenance
of the vehicle, dealers are required to install a service reminder sticker before delivery. By doing
this, customers will be reminded to return to your dealership for service. Your current service
reminder sticker may be used.
