GR86 Self servicing GR86

[86GR]

I usually do my own servicing/maintenance albeit on older cars, I quite enjoy it and it seems daft to pay a dealer £300 for something I can do myself for £50-60 plus a few hours of my time and at least I know it’s been done properly.

I guess I wouldn’t get the 5year warranty extension, but would Toyota still cover the first 5 years, providing I have receipts and proof I’ve done the services?

Anyone else thinking of doing their own servicing?

I believe the standard warranty with Toyota UK is 3 years since they introduced the Toyota Relax programme and whilst I don't know about Toyota's warranty policy, most manufacturers will require for the car to be serviced via a VAT registered workshop with OEM parts to keep the warranty from being void.

Ah didn’t realise it was down to 3 yrs now. Probably best sticking with dealer servicing I guess for the warranty.

If I am not mistaken doing services for the first three years should be fine as it is the standard manufacturers warranty. You would just need to use approved parts. From years 4-10 it would need to be serviced by Toyota under Toyota Relax.

Although I could be wrong.

Plus with Toyota Relax extended warranty... every year you service the car you get an additional year of warranty. Seems a no brainer from my end

One of the attractions of the GR86, amongst many, is a 10 year warranty, i can get 10% of service at my preferred dealership with Toyota Owners Club U.K. so it’s the right option for me. If anything does go wrong and there is an issue “you serviced it”

I'm pretty sure Marshall's also price match if you can find a written quote with approved parts. Or they used to at least.

Point 4 on the below.
