I bought my Soarer a month ago from a importer called "Luxury and Performance Vehicles" in Bayswater VIC.

I was wondering where would be ideal to service ones car? Toyota authorised garages or some local garages? I dont want to go near Lexus cos they may charge an arm and a leg. I have no idea what the service costs are like but just wondering what everyones thoughts are?

Would love to service my beast but I want to do it properly. I've checked the threads but im sure there is more to servicing than oil, fuel filter, spark plug changes and topping of fluids.

Melbourne 20kms within the CBD for servicing of V8 would be swell :-)

Cheers fellas

ken, just follow all the advice in the threads.it is no harder than any other car.
when i 1st purchased mine i changed oil and filter, flushed radiator and put in high quality anti freeze, changed diff oil and changed auto fluid all by following listed servicing threads.
these are the main items and should be the 1st done.
