scott87 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Took my Supra up to Toyota today as i know someone up there. Had a nose at the supra on the ramp too. Nothing came back on the visual check apart from minor wear to the front pads. Pretty pleased. The underside did look pretty worse for wear so im going to paint all of the suspension arms etc in hammerite waxyol stuff tomorrow....

tony tt Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This at every toyota dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 This at every toyota dealer? Yes at every dealer... Only a visual inspection but they do check a few good points and a free half hour in the air can help you spot things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What came back? Mine was completely clear par two light bulbs. Im surprised they found that much wrong with a visual inspection unless you have some serious rust or worn rubbers.

Im just intrested to see what they say about mine now lol Every mr2 i owned i have taken to toyota for one of these inspections and that is quite a few. They have come back clear on occasion, but others have needed work. Ive then gone and done it myself. Ive never paid Toyota to do the work they suggest, but its nice to get a once over by a mechanic now and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always wanted the car checked over by someone that knows what they are doing. Ive had it a year and its given me no problems whatsoever *touchwood.
