markymark Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Went there today as I was after a few bits thinking they will probably say as it is an import we cant help you but in fact they where very helpful, they where trying to encourage me to come to them for most of my parts. Has anybody else found them helpful. (I did have to order the parts in which should arrive on Tuesday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 what parts you after as i get discount lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIVDreamer Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 varies widely. My local Mr T is a bit snotty - Its also a Lexus main dealer - so they make all the excuses under the sun that they can't do work on my import. At one point I had the service manager telling me that the import has a different ECU...news to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markymark Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 what parts you after as i get discount lol They were just small parts which I needed in a hurry plus I also got a 10% discount as I had a motor trade card(well a IMI card which they accepted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 My local Mr T is fine. I use them for all parts and used to get the car serviced there (but I do it myself these days). They also run a "loyalty" scheme whereby you can get up to 15% off parts and a chunk off labour depending on how old your car is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The import DOES have a different ECU. I hate garages that don't help just because it's an import. I luckily don't get that trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Went to mine and the mech came out and went "wow first time I've seen one in the flesh" I then decided to take it elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 This one was very willing to do work on imports including servicing and repairs. what one did you go to ? I've been to the one by Gallows Corner, although very helpful they didn't come across that they knew much about supras. But i could have been talking to the wrong person ? probably the teaboy ?

Kranz Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I get a 10% discount on parts at my local Mr T's for being a member of this club! Very helpful & always call back when they say they will with results of the search for parts (which they can always get). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Westover Toyota. I've only ever bought parts from them, no servicing. The parts guys are friendly and helpful, and I get a wee bit of discount as I use them often. The service manager is helpful too over the phone. He has a load of phone numbers for other places that could possibly help with an import. Oh and no, there were no VVTI Supras. Never.

ivan Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Same as Ewen - Westover Toyota. Clive is very helpful on the parts desk and helped me find a part number even though I was just trying to see if another Toyota part would fit. It did, so I got it free from a scrappy in the end. (And he knows about the VVTi Supras now ) Wore my club shirt and got discount last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it was that one, the fella in the parts department seem to know about supras plus was coming out with the pictures of the parts I needed. I dont think his always worked at that Mr T I think he said he worked in the midlands before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
