AFAIK the deal Barney is talking about is a Toyota GB deal and should therefore be valid at any Mr T dealership (cardiff say they would honour it) ....... as the real Mr T would say, I pity the fool who pays Envy a grand, I do, I do, I pity the fool.....

Check with your local dealership if they will honour the Toyota loyalty scheme for cars over 10 years old and save yourself some serious cash (unless they have wronged you in the past obviously lol then give your hard-earned to someone else!)!!

I could get a price for you off the garage i use if you wish, im there tomorrow taking the supra for its MOT


It would pay to get all the parts yourself imo, steve manley for o/e and i guess £300-£400 gets all your parts inc fluids

I could give him a call for you if you wish as i deal with him quite a lot.

Be carefull and check there hourly rates as i think they can differ massively from dealer to dealer.

That could be why such a high price, depending on chosen items ie. if they have chosen Endless pads i think they are around £200 an axle. But even so, £900 is a bit steep to be paying for a full service, are you sure something hasn't got lost in translation?

Don't forget when considering Toyota dealers, most of them haven't got a 'danny la rue' when it comes to Supras, some have never even seen one. Barney is lucky and his dealer is an exception, and there are a few around but they are sparse.

Agreed, Toyota dealerships can vary hugely in the standard of service they offer, I would always advise checking them out before-hand.

Regarding the loyalty scheme, it would be best to call you local dealership and discuss this with them.
