Bookings are starting to come in - I'm doing evenings and weekends till i leave MMC.

Thanks to all those that have booked in already!

Ed - still laughing that you didn't notice we'd washed your car! Andy was evening scrubbing the wheels on it for you, muttering about the shambles of a state you'd brought the car to me in :D :D :D :D Enjoy it mate, and try and keep it in a straight line till your Nitrons return.

Anyone care to explain to Me, Mr Noob what the difference is between all the options? I want to service the beast every 5K miles, unsure when to go for a, when to b, etc etc...

Cheers,

Gary.

Ali,

Prices are really competitive (especially compared to MMC) with an A service coming out 1/2 the price :D

If it really gets up and going you should buy a cheap S1 for a courtesy car. Remind us S2 owners about how good they really are :D

Cheers

If you can spend 2k on a car wash I would just get a C service done everytime - that way you can't go wrong :wink:

Isnt the B service on the Toyota's just the same as an A but with the air filter changed and therefore same price (ish) as an A? So I was reliably informed at my recent B service anyway.

Is that not a bit of overkill - servicing every 5k miles when it's due every 9k? :roll:
