Sheefa Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Don't bother. I had this trouble about trying to find someone mate to service my Supra and everybody literally screamed 'Chris Wilson' who's around this board. He comes highly recommended pal and I've got mine booked in this coming Monday. Don't trust anyone but an expert if you ask me for such a complicated supercar. If I was you i'd hold out and speak to Chris. I'll update you on how my service goes, but I'm 99% confident Chris will do a sterling job mate. Here's his details.

Engine Oil Engine oil filter Fuel filter Autobox fluid Air filter Plugs Diff oil Brake fluid Coolant PAS fluid And obviously the checks done on a normal service to the underside of the car. Thats all i can think off really, but i mean some of the above might not need changing, depends on the service history. Either that or you could follow the proper A/B toyota schedule for servicing, its on here somewhere so search for that if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
