What service do I need?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, as per title, what service does my car require? It's due for it's third service and first MOT, it's done 18500 miles, I ask this cos most of my cars have been much older and I normally do my own servicing, but for warranty reasons I need to keep the service history up to date, so will my car need an intermediate service or a full service? Thanks in advance

Thanks Lauren, Normally wouldn't let a garage anywhere near my cars, (only because they won't show the same care as I would:rolleyes:) but don't want to invalidate the warranty.

You can go to a Gt86 specialist like tuning developments ect if you live close! Any garage that used genuine parts won't invlidate warranty

Do you think  I should contact Toyota before hand? Just to make sure the garage I go to will be covered? Don't want to pay so much at Toyota when I could pay £100+ less for arguably better service elsewhere

Hi mate, Got any good garages/body shops you recommend in Leicester area?

It is a struggle for me to find a good one and the specialists are too far for some small things

ive had alot of bodywork done at illiffes in market harborough. I dont think theyre neccesarily the cheapest but they dont cut corners at all and the chaps a family fried and would rectify any work that didnt come out as expected i had most of my interior sprayed orange about 28 items and also had my wing touched up where the previous owner had scraped and not repainted it properpy. Also lots of old cars ive had.  So i can recommend them highly however id look for a bodyshop thats done alot of gt86's as they would be slow to remove parts ect as theyve only ever worked on my gt86 but they allowed me to remove my own bumper/wing in the car park to preserve labour costs : P

JH Bodyworks on burnmoor street were good - they did my wing. They've worked on a couple of 86s.
