Good evening

[Mictor Veldrew]

Evening all,

In keeping with fora etiquette I am just saying hello and introducing myself.

Having been a complete petrol head in years past and running a Honda S2000 as a daily driver through 96,000 miles over three years before switching to BMW (I know, don't say it!) I have now hit the pinnacle of power with my 89bhp 1.4D Auris and to which effect I'm totally disgusted with Toyota's 61% increase in servicing costs... I will be completely honest in that it is my reason for joining the forum just to see what others think and what reputable servicing alternatives exist in order to protect my warranty.

I've also owned two RAV4's from new back in the good old days (insert irony and nostalgia icon here).

Anyway, all the best... I will start a thread on the increased servicing costs.

Hello Frosty,

 

Many thanks for the welcome and the link, I will have a good browse through.

yeah servicing expensive for what they do, and they don`t want to give anything away on warranty unless its cheap, then it`s certainly sir etc etc...

If it could be big then there is nothing wrong with it even though there clearly is (caught out on dashcam)!
