toyotasuprauk Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Dont go to Toyota they are ok but no better than any other garage just because they are a main dealer just means they are expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Depends on service.. people service their oil more frequently than the handbook suggests.. I tend to do main services at the schedules and I take mine to the Toyota dealer. There are certainly people here who would NOT touch them though, differs with dealers I believe. Their parts are fine.. as you'd hope! Their choice of oil sometimes leaves a lot to be desired though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The routine service schedule is posted in the members downloads section. You should be able to suss out what needs doing and when from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I take it to Chris Wilson every 6000miles, and change the oil myself every 3000. I only go to Toyota to order parts, wouldn't let them anywhere near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael parker Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Get mine serviced every 6000m too, your belt is due a change, 60000m or 5 years, whichever is sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Personally I use Chelmsford Toyota, they've been excellent so far. Obviously you pay the price for a main dealer, but the customer service and waiting area are excellent - infact I'm going there tomorrow so I'll let you know what the bill comes to!
