hello. an FJ Cruiser is a premium vehicle and that entails high-priced maintenance. i don't believe the service center is trying to "fool" you. 600QR for a 25K km service sounds reasonable. for the brake pads, service centers will always try to be on the safe side. they will not risk having brake failures after a service (to avoid liability) so they gave you an option because it's expensive. since it's your decision, liability falls on you. the extreme heat in the summer sure eats the brake pads faster than in a temperate climate. you have to consider that when it comes to brakes. hope this helps.
