heckler Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 some dealerships are like that, my local one used to be like that - but now they do do imports. Personally i wouldnt take my car to a toyota dealership, i'd go a speciallist, or do it my self because I'm cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yep, afaik quite a few main Toyota dealers don't work on "grey" imports. Mind you, you could try (in order of distance from you) Turbofit in Milton Keynes, Phoenix in Watford or Chris Wilson in North Shropshire.

couv3z Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Turbofit in Milton Keynes emailed them for a quote on disc's and a manifold no answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'd be tempted to phone Toyota and complain. I might be wrong, but I thought Toyota had a policy of treating imports and UK models the same. At the least, you might get the dealer into trouble Don't go there though, the specialists willl be much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 My Toyota dealer always says they have to phone me back whenever I ask for a quote, and suprise suprise, they never do... I also phoned up today quoting the part number for the looms for facelift indicators, to which they said it wasn't coming up... Anyone else had issues with that?...
