Servicing

Unfortunately my Supra didn't come with any service history

So first things first I'm going for a full service.

Use to take the BMW to the local garage to someone I knew but wondered where you guys take your to service.

Do you go for local garages?

Do you go for tuner specialists?

Do you go to Toyota?

Any advice and help is appreciated

Thanks, Kristian:)

A local garage is good enough as long as they are good mechanics, mine does pretty much

everything i need on any car i own and for very sensible price

Why pay Toyota rates or specialist rates, waste of money in my opinion for routine work.

No - you need a reliable source of expert help and it's worth travelling for that.

Yes.

No - unless you want to spend all of your money very quickly indeed.

I'd use Fensport if I were you since they're not far. Located in Warboys.

Thanks for the advice.

I've got a rough quote for £195 + parts and vat from http://www.enginetuning.net/index.php which is a tuning specialist near me.

You think that's reasonable it's only the second time I've serviced the car.

Thanks,

Kristian.

What are they doing for £200 labour ?

What are they doing on it for that price? If you have no service history at all I would do cam belt, oil and filter, plugs, gearbox fluid, diff fluid, brake fluid, clutch fluid, at a minimum. Millage depending maybe worth doing crank pulley, aux belt and other bits and pieces.

I used to use Toyota but tbh I would rather find a garage I trust for work such as servicing. I tend to source my own fluids and parts too then just pay labour

I've just emailed them back to get the full run down , will post as soon as I hear back!!

Im doing my own but keeping receipts and documenting services in my build thread, i also stole a service book from my local garage which shows services and next MOT so I am filling that in too.

I do it all myself with a couple of buddies. Going to do the clutch & the timing belt soon

fancy doing mine (just kidding)

These days with so called 'specalists' would trust someone on here more than these garages.

I service the brothers Supra.. Other mechanics don't clean things as they go and usually damage things.. Well that and I hate people generally.

Some so called specialist are just rip off merchants, a member on here

bought his car to me as he had a problem with it.

We took it to my local village garage and the work was done for a fraction

of the cost he was quoted by the specialist !

They used to be a trader on here so careful where you pick to work

on your P & J

I'll stick with my local who looked after my BPU UK spec for 13 years and

never had a problem.
