SUPRA FLY Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 My car (1994 NA with nearly 50k miles) just got booked at Jem Service to have the follwoing done at these prices: 'A' Service - £189 Timing Belt Change - £225 Fan Belt Change - £63 - They recommended I change this as it will have to be removed any way as part of the timing belt change excersise. Total - £477 This includes parts, labour and VAT + 10% discount for BBS members They claim to be experts on Jap imports and their garage is impressive. Any comments welcome.

JohnK Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Seems a tad expensive. £180 seems the going rate for a cam belt change and around the £100 mark for an A service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRA FLY Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 Is that an all inclusive price guide JohnK? Know any proper garages around west London? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 It is all inclusive, I use toyadatech - between Southampton and Portsmouth. Some people here have varying views about the place but for service jobs I have found them to be excelent. I also seem to remember Toyota themselves quoting me around the £180 mark for a cam belt change. Sorry dont know anywhere in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRA FLY Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 By the way guys you'll need to be member of mkivsupra.co.uk to get the 10% discount at Jem. I think ama go ahead and get it done as have had the car for 6 months now and done 6,000 miles so its my first service on the car. Get all major work out of the way at a major jap imports garage...and pay amount this time. Toyota quoted £180 for a timing belt change? Dam but have been advised not to take import Sups to Toyota...not sure why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Toyota quoted £180 for a timing belt change? Dam but have been advised not to take import Sups to Toyota...not sure why My life with Toyota is easier as I have a UK spec but its the same job so I dont see how they could charge more. Having said that I wouldnt use them, just using the price as a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Originally posted by SUPRA FLY Dam but have been advised not to take import Sups to Toyota...not sure why Supras in general, nothing to do with imports . They are generally expensive and no more knowledgeable than anywhere else. An A service is the standard one isn't it? In which case £189 is a lot for not much more than an oil change and a few inspections. What exactly are they going to do for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
