Keith Bowler
I know the one you mean, they advertise in the Newsshopper Local rag.
They used to offer a collection and delivery service and IIRC were about half the price of a dealer.
They were recommended to me but I never used them.
Lexkid
So who do you use then Keith or dont u service your car??lol shutup.gif
TheDon
i do most of my own and only trust to dealers what i cant do myself... only becuase i have an inherant distrust of people.. lol... for example brakes and brake fluid.. will only do it myself.. even if i have people help me i have to double check their work!

Routine service stuff is soo easy.. and in the end you save yourself hundreds for a few hours work

Bazza

I use a chap in Sutton who works from his garage at home.
A great guy who only works on Toyota and Lexus' goes under the name of ToyotaLexus Services IIRC.

I have heard of them too Bazza but never used them.
Trouble I find with garages in the Bromley area are pricey 'cos the owners take the view that locals are 'minted'.
I tend to go a little further afield like the guy I use in Sutton.

Lexkid
hahaha red baron Deptford aint that bad !!!
thanks for the contribution guys i found an independent garage in thamesmead ,will try them out over the weekend,
my Lex has no warring lights on the dash and isnt running funny just think i need to do a service since i bought it in may this yr and dont know when the previous owner serviced it last but sure runs like a baby and is was well maintained so babic stuff

engine oil change
transmission oil change
spark plugs
air filter
oil filter

did i miss anything else??????
TheDon
definately make sure they know what they are doing with regards to your transmission... and definately make sure that they put the Toyota specific ATF fluid in... IIRC its about £90 worth so may be better supplying it yourself rather than him adding his markup
Lexkid

thanks 4 the info THE DON i will make sure they use the right ATF recommended by toyota

kind regards

I think it's about £45 + vat for 4 litres, they don't seem to sell it in smaller quantities.
TheDon
think its about 8 litres for a complete flush through
