Servicing In The Edinburgh And Surrounding Area.

[hocha]

Hi Folks

I've recently joined the ranks of lexus ownership and am enjoying it so far.

Its due a service soon (60K) which I enquired about at lexus edinburgh, I was quoted about £630 which I don't fancy since the car is 9 years old and has been serviced by an independent for last 2 services by previous owner.

Does anyone know of a good independent in the Edinburgh/Lothians area or even anyone on here who does servicing in their spare time :)

Any information would be appreciated.

Cheers

I have used Thistle on Easter Road for this 60k service and also Timing Belt and all oils done at the same time, however it might be worth contacting "ormi" a fellow LOC member who might be able to offer you help advice. He's a motor mechanic at Toyota in Edinburgh and drives an IS200, too.

Hope you get something sorted.

Which one - Abercrombies at Halbeath ?

I get my wifes Rav4 done at Struans in Perth so might give them a call to get some prices. Would have preferred somewhere in Edinburgh though since I work there .
