Major service

Just got stung with the major service for my 86... $2058
This was from Toyota, not sure how much elsewhere.

Spark plugs and fuel filter in tank. Those were the big ones.

You did get raped but sparks are a bitch to replace in our cars and fuel filter is also annoying because you have to open the canister in the tank. But 2 grand. F that

This sounds excessive. Which service was this? (How many km) and what are other people paying?

No surprise on the 54 month/90000km service cost if you do your research and read the fine print...


Do the plug change yourself and save some money

That's only $1576 USD in case anyone is wondering. It still seems like a lot. They must have done a few more things than just plugs and fuel filter.

The fuel filter is inside the tank? What idiot decided that was a good idea?

Spark plugs require the whole underside if the engine bay and exhsust manifold removed. 3hr job!

Who decided THAT was a good idea?

Not really, you *can* do it with out lifting the engine. Just takes time, flexibility, the right tools and skinny boney hands. Same amount of time oddly enough.

The fuel filter, eh not too bad just a lot of extra steps to get to it. I have more issues trying to replace a fuel pump on a MR2
