A warning light has come on in my Yaris and the manual says I need to take it to a dealership. Don't want to pay dealership prices on my ancient car.
Can anyone recommend a good independent where it can be plugged in to see what's wrong with it.
Thank you.

Which warning light?

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp. How non-specific can that be!

Any garage with an OBD reader should be able to diagnose the issue.

No problem at all.

If the light fades on and off at times, my money's on it being the coolant temp sensor - that's what my Starlet did. £57 from Westover Toyota, all fixed.

Stays on all the time. Car drives normally, not noticed a change in performance. So will wait and see. Hopefully not an expensive fix.
