infernouk 8 Report post Posted October 30, 2017 So I should just go the tuner route for piece of mind generally and then it’s likely some Toyota dealer will do the warranty work. i thought it very dodgey they use these new online service histories rather than a book so non dealer services aren’t recorded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surrey86 352 Report post Posted October 30, 2017 You might want also to bear in mind the 'goodwill' side of things if you have a fault outside the warranty period. Manufacturers are known to often cover part of the cost of a major fault if it develops after the warranty has expired and you have a full dealer service history. With a tuner history you're on your own at that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ztox 230 Report post Posted October 30, 2017 I've never been to Toyota since the car was new, sod that I travel 60 miles each way to go to abbey for everything and that's the place I'd personally recommend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chess010 4 Report post Posted March 9, 2018 Why not send email to head office and ask about warranty situation if take to independent. They can only say no. Really nothing to lose. I use RRG Macclesfield but they are only half a mile away so am lucky with that for my gt86 giallo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
