I don't trust garages at all.. they NEVER look after your car like you will... they will rag it and rev it hard from cold on the "test thrash".

I too am young (ish lol) and pretty much do everything DIY unless it requires specialist tools,

They make up faults and say "this needs doing that needs doing" when I clearly know that it doesn't! In the UK it seams the Toyota dealerships are the worst for it!! In my old SW-20 mr2 I went to get the wheel alignment done, they said "sorry we only half did it, as the bolts were too tight" For some reason I didn't kick up a fuss at all...

The same week a good friend of mine too his JZA-80 supra there... he is 22, smart car, they obviously thought they could try it on...

"sorry, the bolts are seized on your front subframe, we can;t undo them, we will have to cut them off, you might need a new subframe and it will cost £1700 to do this job" (thats a LOT of money!!!)

He took it to a none toyota garage and they said all bolts came off using a large breaker bar!!!

I am very worried now as I am about to order a full Poly bush kit, to replace every single stock suspension bush.. obviously this is NOT a job I can DIY as I would need some sort of hydraulic press to change the bushes... I need to find a place I can trust!!!


this is easily fixed by buying a $80 rev limiter from jaycar (its not actually $80, its alot cheaper, but i dont know the exact price.)

1. buy and install limiter kit.
2. set limiter to 3k RPM before giving to garage.
3. ???
4. Profit.
