I'm sure Toyota could. They have been very helpful when I've asked questions. Try your local dealer?
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but that will get you the answer  s;-) ;-) s;-)

It says in section 8 of your 'Service & warranty' book (p20-22).

Hmm..don't have one. Any chance you could list what is done for this service?

the only thing definitely required is an engine oil and filter change, which is easy to do at home. Whether anything else is required depends on:

a) the age of your vehicle - because according to Toyota some items are time OR mileage based (e.g. the air filter is every 4 years OR 30,000 miles)

and

b) how well serviced it has been in the past

time based intervals often seem to get ignored, so you are probably due spark plugs also (every 4 years Or 40,000 miles) and I think a gearbox oil change. A brake fluid change is a good idea too (every 2 years) if you have no evidence of the last one, air filter is cheap and easy to do yourself.

Many thanks. I replaced oil and filter...spark plugs and air filter. Seems about right going from the above post.

Possibly need to think about the brake fluid and coolant and possibly gearbox oil if you are going to keep the car.
Check the brake pads and disks.
Lubricate all locks and hinges and the universal joint on the steering column.
