rob wild Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Ok so I've got a minor oil leak and i had a look about and it seems to be coming from the sump gasket. It could also do with an oil change as well. So I rang a local performance garage who quoted me: £141 pounds to change the oil and check the car over and if they found anything then it would be extra i.e. top up the gearbox fluid level etc and another £55 + vat to seal the sump. Does that sound about right or not? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO that doesn't quite square with the £55+VAT for dropping the sump, cleaning it, re-sealing it and bolting it back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Right that's not too bad then, its just I've not really used this garage before and I've heard some good and bad reports over service. And cause I normally change the oil and stuff myself wasn't to sure if they were a bit pricey for really changing the oil and resealing. That's the only down side to owning a supra in the North West there isn't really any well established garages i.e. like a Dude or CW. But never mine Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
