Hi guys, its been a while since i have posted so hi to everyone
Took the IS200 to Lexus Edinburgh last week to enquire about a service, had the car for two years now and despite only having done 4,500 miles in that time thought it would be time to get her looked at, car has 35,000 miles on it, the first 3 stamps are in the book but the last one being 3 years ago(Lexus Aberdeen) The ever so nice lady didnt even break sweat when she quoted £1200, this is including getting the timing belt done which she says should be after 6 years or 60,000 miles, whatever comes first.(the car is an 04 plate)
Toyota was my next port of call, explained to them what i was after and they quoted £480 all in, including a MOT, now for the exact same service(this being the 40,000 service, is this a big one?)what do the experts on here reckon, obviously its a lot of money but dont think its going to be worth it keeping it Lexus stamped, what would you do?
A wee side note, when the timing belt get changed is it worth getting the water pump done at the same time?The toyota garage are saying alot of the time when they do the timing belts on the IS200 the water pump usually shows signs of leakage, this make sense?
Thanks for reading and would love to hear from folks with a bit more car savvy than myself.
