dealer servicing on new car - Diesel nutter
Having recently purchased a Toyota Avensis Diesel at auction, I am now wondering about main dealer servicing. Its nearly ready for its first service (at 10000miles) and is just over six months old (02reg). Im reluctant to take it to the local Toyota dealer for a 'service' that amounts to no more than using an unsuitable oil! but I wonder if I need that genuine dealer stamp for the 3 year warranty? Im getting conflicting advice, some people think I do whereas others say its illegal to make you go to a dealer for servicing. What to do?

Many thanks

So long as you can prove that wherever you take it follows the same servicing procedure as Toyota specify then they must still honour the warrenty. AFAIK.

What;s this about an unsuitable oil? You mean the dealer has a "reputation"? If so, why not take it to a different Toyota dealer? Best of both worlds that way...
