Service Time

March 16, 2005

Well...expensive day tomorrow...

My TS needs it's 30,000 service... + rubber on all corners.

It's also been making some god awfull grating noises from the near side rear after it's been driven hard/heavy braking. :-( I've not mentioned this...so if they find something great...if not...I'm back the following day saying it's making some god awfull noises since you serviced it!!

also, getting MOT at the same time.

My other halfs 1.0 needs it's 20k service..and probably a front ball joint.

and would Mr T give me any discount for turning up with two cars...nah!

Estimate for the work is £600 for mine...and £120 for hers.

Tonight I have completly filled the washer bottles up...if they even dare to try and charge me for replacing the washer fluid...I'll shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

This will be my Last Mr T services...end of Warranty...bye bye Mr T!

Any spare change anyone??

Go gold.. get a discount.. check if your dealer gives discounts to gold members.. if so, you will save more than the 25 quid fee :)

£120 not bad for a 20000 mile service

Just had our T2 1 litre done and it was £160 .

Is it valid for them to include £9.99 plus vat for the following :-

"Forte Fuel Cleaner has been added to your vehicle to maintain a clean fuel system and aid combustion " ??

Not if they didn't ask you first. Additing a fuel additive is not part of the service....and £10.00 is twice as much as you'd pay off the shelf

We got a 1L T2 courtesy car..and all I can say is wow! it has come on vastly since the T1.

The first thing I noticed was the gear shift...it's sweet as a nut.

The cabin sound proofing is heaps better less engine noise..less wind noise.

If you go to a proper toyota garage they do a card called S.M.A.R.T. on older cars as they become more expensive to maintain. My old W reg yaris uses one and its got 60k on the clock. You get discounts on parts and labour. And the £45 MOT becomes £20!

Not sure if they'll do it with yours if its modded. Ask
