90,000 Service

[robbiew]

Hello,

Does anyone know a good garage in south lincolnshire for servicing. Ive tried the local Toyota dealer as the car has a full service history with them(before I purchased) and want to keep the stamps up. They have quoted me £180 this is with a coolant change as well(due now). They use genuine parts and helix oil

Any thoughts?

do you really want to have your car serviced other than by a toyota garage?toyota will use the right service parts and also inform you of any other potential faults to keep your car in tip top condition,no worrys about car perfomance, i think its worth that little bit extra.

Surely if your worried about genuine parts, you could supply the bits yourself or ask the garage to use Toyota parts which they could botain at trade price.?Then you'd benefit from cheaper labour costs.

If it's a normal service any garage can do it and should also be able to stamp you book.

Main dealer technicians are renouned for being a bunch of cowboys anyway :(

Try find an Independant Toyota specialist

Ya thats what I was looking for an independent specialist and a rough estimate on whether that figure I was quoted was "about right" or was over the top

I would take it to Toyota if not just for the coolant change, you dont want some cowboy to change the coolant only to create an airlock and loose your precious tubby... At least you would have some piece of mind that Toyota know what they are doing.. £180 for a 90k service is pretty cheap, A VW Golf 90k is £350 !
