Hi Guys,
I have a dilema on my hands. My Prado (150series, GXL, Petrol) is up for the 10,000km servicing and I'm contemplating having my regular registered (licensed) mechanic to service it (and replace items needed with genuine Toyota parts) rather then bringing it back to the Toyota dealership.
P.S. He sub-contracts for Land Rover, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan and BMW in Perth before.
Two reasons:
1. I have a Toyota Camry which have always been serviced by the Toyota dealership but it has given me nothing but grieve and they seem to charge a fair bit but seem to not do much. (it always seem that they cut corner but still charge a premium)
2. My mechanic does a mobile service and since my job is rather demanding on time, it would save me a day of leave for bringing the car to the dealership
Questions:
1. Will not having the Prado serviced by the dealership void warranty (i have the 36 month extended warranty as well)?
2. Since there's no KDSS and the servicing is only for the mechanical parts and not electronics, is it ok for my mechanic to do the servicing?
3. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your input guys.
