Seems my local Toyota dealer is not keen on imports

Anyone able to recommend anywhere close to St. Albans for repairs, servicing etc.

Have been previously using JEM nr Staples Corner, but it is a bit far away.

Thanks for any tips.

What, he doesn't want your money?

My local Toyota Main Dealer has no worries about my imported Four. I don't take it there simply because I view £60+ an hour as taking the piss.

When I had my GT4 years and years ago, there was a great place on the London Road, in the small industrial estate to the right coming out of St Albans just over that silly roundabout after the Renault dealer. Sorry I can't remember the name, but was a little independent garage mainly advertising Cosworth/turbo recon work, but had no problems with servicing/cambelts/weird sensor debugging.

P.T.S - just before the railway bridge and the golf club?

My local Toyota garage had no problems servicing my old 'four. Even let me supply the Mobil 1 myself...
Charged £55+VAT an hour back in 2000 though

Fish Bros Swindon are about 65+VAT. But they give me 10% as it's an old car.

Everytime I go in they try to sell me a new one. Make a new one that goes as well and I'll consider it.
