Another pass! Yay!

The Avensis passed its mot with no advisories today, and the airbag recall was finally sorted too. Top service from my local dealer. I know the airbag part delay was down to Toyota and the supplier, not them, so I can't complain them for that.

Very, very happy to have the old boy back after the Yaris roller skate loan car hahaha!

It is great to get that piece of paper, and no advisories. Nice one.

Congratulations

Nice one - always great to get a pass.

Always loved the Avensis - helped out an Airport Cars firm ran by a mate a few years back. Best car to drive was an Avensis estate with truly Starship mileage.

Compared to the other cars - an Avensis with 480k Miles was a favourite of mine.

Its been an awesome car for its age. Its 13 next year and drives a dream. Its the T spirit so a very nice place to be. People say don't go to main dealers, and I normally wouldn't as Iv'e had bad experiences with Ford and Vauxhall, but I bought the Toyota from them and use a service plan to spread the cost. They always treat me well and never try to cheat me.

Hmmmm - I had truly shocking “service” from Vauxhall with a company Cavalier (so some time ago!!

) - but recently my son experienced the same indifferent, rude arrogance over the problems he had with his Astra’s gearbox.

Good to hear your Toyota Dealership is more professional and customer focused.

For my part - I cannot praise the two Hyundai Dealerships I have used enough. We used one a few miles away where we bought the car and now I service it myself I use a more local Dealership and both have been excellent.

Yes Vauxhall was bad with my Cavalier. Took it for a service and they came out to read the checklist they had done to me. Your clutch is fine Miss Bennett.....errr it was automatic! Times they would try and shaft me on mots as well. Once they tried to sell me a new horn assembly as mine wasnt working. Funny, I said to them I checked the car this morning and it was fine. I think I'll take it home and have a look myself. What did I find? The wires unplugged!!
